Hmm, wait, yeah. If B1 and B2 are tied together, then B2 should be getting completely obliterated, huh? Maybe it doesn't somehow. I mean clearly the planet she's on isn't in great shape, there's lava and s*** and probably nothing else lives here. I dunno.

Huh. So, the Trolls' meteor is here...

At first I was thinking, how did they wind up navigating themselves so far off course?

Then I realized maybe they didn't.

What if Calliope lives on earth?

What if that sun is our sun?

what the

can't say I saw that coming

When Calliope was talking about going out and looking at the sun, I figured it was going to be the green sun.

I wasn't expecting a... red sun.

Is it still the green sun? Would that mean this is far, far into the future?

Yes

I've said this before but it's as true as ever - Hussie was really smart for writing the story the way he did up until now. He has loads of credibility built up for being unpredictable. Nothing in the story is a sure bet. Not everything is going to be what it seems, but some things are exactly as they seem. And despite the unpredictability, he never makes me feel like anything is a total asspull.

Microtransitions are fine. EA is the worst thing to happen to gaming.

The thing about this story that confuses me the most is that it appears to be a critical failure of capitalism. Apple likes money, so why would they refuse to sell a product to someone for a stupid reason that's very out of character for a major corporation in the 21st century?

All of the "clues" Hussie has been dropping in the recent updates, combined with Hussie making fun of us for trying to draw meaning out of pictures of dongs and constantly mentioning uu's love of red herrings suddenly makes me worried. Hussie respects us as readers. He knows exactly what we're going to think of every hint he drops. He's acutely aware of the conclusions that we're going to draw. That means I have absolutely no idea where he's going with all this, in spite of the fact that it seems to be pointing in some very obvious directions. It's bizarrely unnerving.

I can name about 200 games that are better Metroid games than Other M.

They gave TTYD a hilariously low score and then defended it by saying it was a "very kiddie game." That's not game journalism, that's a 14-year-old on the internet explaining why he doesn't like Pokemon anymore. Oh wait, sorry. I guess that is game journalism.

Game Informer has been a joke for years, nothing new here.

I'm still not sure why everyone has jumped on the "LE is uu" train so fast. There's obviously some relationship here, but I don't know that it's as simple as "LE is uu" so I'm still waiting. I doubt the body we're seeing Calliope in right now is the same as LE, that doesn't seem to be quite right.

There's still a TON of stuff we don't know here.

Hey look more Calliope's room stuff.

Thanks Hussie, I actually was wondering how Calliope's name was pronounced.

Earlier, we saw a panel where Calliope(?)'s ankles were chained - one with Calliope's Caduceus symbol, and one with uu's Ophiuchus symbol.

Now we see Calliope's shackle unlocked but uu's is still locked.

I think the "same body" theory is looking to be more and more a sure bet, though the exact mechanics of it are still a mystery (how do dream selves work, etc).

I'll bet that both Calliope and uu each put a shackle around their body that only they can unlock, as a precaution, to keep them in place.

I bought an HP (HP Envy 14 Beats Edition) a few weeks ago and I have to say it's quite great. I remember hearing some terrible things about HP a few years back, but looking at reviews convinced me that they've really stepped up their game recently. I really enjoy how customizable they are since I was looking for some incredibly specific features and I was able to find them all in one laptop, that looks amazing as well.

I'm not much of a PC gamer, but I did need a decent amount of speed and memory for the audio programs I run so I think we were looking at the same types of computers. I'd check out their Envy line. I think it was basically made to compete with the MacBook Pro so there is a definite focus on style as well as great performance, although not in the sense of gaming.

Build a desktop

it's amazing how different the first two responses were in how helpful they were

Anyway thanks dude, I was already kind of thinking about HPs since my current laptop is one, and although it's a piece of s*** now, it's also as old as 2004 and the fact that it lived this long means it was actually pretty reliable.

Ugh I think my laptop is dead.

This laptop is shot so I need a new one. I don't need some kind of high-end gaming laptop since I have a desktop for that, but I do want something durable with enough speed and memory to run and install s*** without a fuss.

Any recommendations on brands I should look at, stores I should buy from, or any other important things I should look into? I know absolutely nothing about laptops.

probably, I can only assume that Ichiro is simply being held back, or maybe he only succumbed to the seattle curse last year and that's why he all of a sudden sucks balls

it is a well known fact that all baseball players suck the moment they put on a mariners uniform and only get good after they leave, I know

still, R.A. Dickey what the f***

My brain is still struggling to comprehend the fact that R.A. Dickey is probably the leading candidate for the NL Cy Young right now.

This makes no sense. It makes no f***ing sense. I remember when he was here in Seattle and he was atrocious.

wow what a shock that this clemens trial was a massive waste of time

I invert the Y axis in any game with first-person controls, on consoles or PCs. I don't really know why, I guess I just learned it that way. If I try to play any game with a non-inverted y axis, it is completely disorienting and I always mess up. The only thing I hate is games that don't give you the option to invert it or not, which is becoming an increasing rarity.

It's like Sony looked at the 3DS launch and said, "pretty good, but they released a few too many games for it in the first year."

Ah, okay. That would make sense.

I was under some weird assumption that Calliope was black, haha.

There's something that I'm confused about now -

http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006875

What's with the color of her legs here?

It was a great bit of misdirection though - we felt that we had "seen" her at this point, and didn't assume that she would turn out to be something totally f***ing weird. At least, I didn't.

It had always bothered me that Calliope seemed like a troll but didn't seem to quite fit with the rest of the trolls, like there was just no way that she could be one because it messed with the symmetry and there was no way that other trolls could exist. So this answer satisfies that at least.

buh

uhh

ummm

oh

what?

ohhh.

Man, perfect games are like, not even a big deal anymore.

I love Episode III, definitely give it a play.

Man, even if Brave is kind of crappy, I think Pixar is allowed to have a bad movie or two before we say they're officially crap now. They can still be in their golden age.

And hell, I liked Cars 2 even though everyone thought it sucked. The first Cars is still the only "meh" movie that Pixar has made in my opinion.

10/10

10? Sure why not. I speedrun this game shamefully often. Every single part of this game is pretty much permanently etched in my brain.

This one's not even close and nobody got it right yet.



Nice try though!

8/10

No way, Galaga's way better than Galaxian I think. Could never enjoy Galaxian, but Galaga is the oldest game that I still enjoy.

Well, the nice thing is that it can now be agreed that the Mets have one no-hitter. You can't take both no-hitters away from them. (Although personally I think non-shutout no-hitters are sort of a joke)

Would've been awesome if Dickey's no-hitter counted so that we could have two in one day.

Wait, why are they clearing out their Dominion stock?

Man I wish I found more lizards and s*** around here. All I get in my house are spiders. Lots and lots of spiders.

I can't decide who pisses me off more, David Stern or Jim Rome.

I think Stern was right to call out Rome on asking a stupid question, though.

do pixar movies count

UU is a talented artist though, it's only uu that can't draw.

Bayleef doesn't belong there at all, basically a total accident, although I liked it enough to vote it over some stuff I didn't like. I like Servine but he's my least favorite of that line and still wound up here somehow. Everything else more or less belongs here.

Flygon is like my third favorite and got eliminated early somehow.

I think it's funny that MM and WW are the darkest and lightest Zeldas respectively and yet they're both two of the best, easily.

Holy s*** you guys are funny.

Yeah, I recall at some point that it was Feferi who sort of figured out the whole dream bubble thing and that she was pretty happy with just chilling out in dream bubbles all the time.

I really liked the theory that it was Eridan's hope powers, since after Feferi and Kanaya died and Sollux got knocked out they all wound up better off for it, but after the explanation of Eridan's title literally meaning "destroyer of hope" it doesn't seem to make much sense.
