| Topic | Name 3 youtube channels you're currently subscribed to. |
| Grendel Prime 02/19/18 10:03:10 AM #22 | Internet Comment Etiquette w/ Erik - Big Money makes me laugh.  CornshaqGaming - Mostly for his reviews. His tastes and judgment seem to be in line with my own for the most part, and he reviews a lot of lesser known titles that get passed over by mainstream review outlets.  theneedledrop - Music reviewer with fairly varied, eclectic taste.  Honorable mentions: DevilDogGamer - I watch a lot of his Escape From Tarkov stuff. Some of his other content is interesting but Im mostly into it for Tarkov. Gameranx - Pretty much my go-to gaming news channel. They seem to be on top of a lot of things in the industry, and cover major releases fairly well. Couple of funny people in their crew, too. VaatiVidya - SoulsBorne lore channel. --- |

| Topic | Friend owes me $10, but he insists my math is wrong. |
| Grendel Prime 02/18/18 8:34:32 AM #32 | InfestedAdam posted... SkynyrdRocker posted...The only thing I can figure TC's very dumb friend did is that since the game he is buying is $40 and TC said "rather than give me $30," he subtracted $30 from $40. I don't know how that makes sense logically, but that's the only way I can see him coming out with those numbers. This is what Im thinking. As much as I appreciate everyone calling my friend an idiot, those saying we shouldnt game share over $10 should understand thats its not as big a deal as theyre making it out to be. Weve been friends for ages. I can see where theres reason for being cautious. If we had a true falling out, wed both be out a few hundred dollars in games, depending on who bought what and who has whatever games still stored in their hard drive. I dont anticipate an argument of that magnitude, certainly not over $10. Something could happen, but its doubtful. --- |

| Grendel Prime 02/17/18 10:45:16 AM #18 | SushiSquid posted... It's funny to me that the argument always seems to follow what we see in this topic. This. Restrictions, background checks, etc =/= the end to your Constitutional rights. Youre still free to pursue the ownership of firearms, theres simply more protections in place. I like the idea of insuring firearms. There will never be a single wholesale solution to gun violence, but we have to do something. --- |
| Topic | Missing Canadian skier found 3000 miles away, can't recall how he got there |
| Grendel Prime 02/17/18 9:40:26 AM #12 | minervo posted... Grendel Prime posted...Maybe he crashed while skiing and suffered a head injury, but was able to get to his feet and managed to hitch a ride in a truck. Stranger things have happened. People do strange things when they suffer head injuries. He likely wasnt completely with it Might have a brain tumor, or something else. Im just guessing. But my money would be on him being out of sorts enough to do something like this, but not so out of sorts that the truck driver saw any reason to be alarmed. The truck driver had never met him before, had no idea what his normal behavior, speech, mannerisms, etc are. The guy he met just needed a lift. --- |

| Topic | Friend owes me $10, but he insists my math is wrong. |
| Grendel Prime 02/17/18 8:16:00 AM #9 | Its never been an issue, but weve never bought two games so close together like this before. Usually one of us buys the game and the other pays half in cash. Honestly dont think hes intentionally trying to gyp me out of $10. He legit believes hes correct. --- |
| Topic | Friend owes me $10, but he insists my math is wrong. |
| Grendel Prime 02/17/18 7:41:58 AM #5 | Red_Frog posted... Just do it the hard way. Tell him he owes you $30 for MH, then give him $20 for SotC. Didnt even occur to me to do this. Ive been so wrapped up in convincing him of my math I didnt even consider other solutions. --- |
| Topic | Friend owes me $10, but he insists my math is wrong. |
| Grendel Prime 02/17/18 7:07:38 AM #1 | We game share on PS4. Usually we go halves on games, but recently two games we wanted released fairly close to each other. I bought Monster Hunter: World for $60. Shadow of the Colossus Remake was coming out at $40, so I said rather than give me $30 for MH: W, just to buy SotC and give me $10. Simple, no? He insists that not only is my math wrong, but if anything I owe him $10. Ill admit that math is not my strong suit, but am I crazy or is he possibly correct in this? The way I see it: $60 + $40 = $100 Half of $100 is $50 SotC is $40 $50 - $40 = $10 that he would owe me, no? Im about ready to give in and just tell him to keep the $10. --- |

| Topic | The 18 school shootings in the US this year narrative was apparently fake news. |
| Grendel Prime 02/16/18 11:44:12 AM #22 | You make it sound as if parents should be perfectly comfortable with suicides and unintentional discharges of firearms occurring at the schools we send our children to. As a parent, I can tell you that number of 18 is not completely overblown. I dont want guns going off in any capacity in places where my kids are meant to be safe, relaxed, learning, and happy. --- |

| Grendel Prime 02/16/18 8:29:52 AM #8 | Zangulus posted... A) It's kind of frightening you're losing that much control of your firearm... This. TCs brother is putting them in a dangerous situation by not teaching them how to properly handle the firearm BEFORE firing, telling them to expect the kick and how to brace for it. Aside from hurting themselves, they could injure or kill an innocent bystander at the range. If that happened at the range I attend, theyd throw you out. Might even revoke your membership. --- |

| Grendel Prime 02/05/18 10:23:05 AM #470 | I never doubted it based on solely Wickershams history and pedigree as a journalist. Hes not the type of writer to make shit up and he always does his research. I guess Brandon Browner commented on the locker room rift and DontA Hightower liked it or whatever, as well as a couple former Patriots, and people are pointing to that as evidence corroborating the article lol --- |

| Topic | Sports Discussion Topic #170: The Big Dumb Patriots are Going to Win it All |
| Grendel Prime 02/05/18 9:39:13 AM #468 | The talk around Boston is focused heavily on the decision to have Malcolm Butler suit up only to play one snap, and that came on a special teams play. Big controversy given how poorly the Patriots defense, particularly the secondary, was performing. People are wondering if Belichick held Butler back out of spite for whatever reason. A lot of the fans who thought that Wickersham article (about a rift in the Pats locker room) was bunk are now starting to wonder if it was true after all. --- |

I find that matchup very underwhelming if it turns out that way. Would've been more interesting with Wentz at QB for the Eagles. But if the Foles that is playing tonight shows up for the SB, might have a halfway decent game. --- |

| Grendel Prime 01/21/18 6:30:20 PM #7 | Crazy. I'm a Pats fan, lifelong Massachusetts resident. They've been my team since the Grogan era. I'm old enough to remember when we weren't so fortunate lol It's going to end someday, possibly this year, but damn it's been a hell of a run. --- |
| Topic | fuck the Patriots |
| Grendel Prime 01/21/18 6:26:01 PM #5 | I could be wrong, but I think that's actually the only year during the Brady/Belichik era that they didn't go to the playoffs. It's been an insane run for the Pats. --- |

| Grendel Prime 01/18/18 6:43:12 PM #6 | Bruins fan here. Their young players have really stepped up this season but I keep expecting the bottom to drop out lol Rask has been nails the past few weeks. If they can keep this quality of play going through the season and into the playoffs, they may have a chance this year. But I think theyre overachieving right now and theyll be exposed in the playoffs. --- |

| Grendel Prime 01/18/18 11:26:48 AM #17 | I wish Thomas Jane could get another crack at a Punisher movie. His first one wasnt great, but I liked it enough and that Laundry Day short looked promising. I think he couldve done a great job with a better script and a better director. I do like Jon Bernthals version though. --- |

| Grendel Prime 11/14/17 9:56:33 PM #215 | What bums me out is that we watched them kill Maxis, Bioware Montreal, Black Box, Pandemic, and Visceral, and a handful of other studios. Now they have their tentacles around Respawn... Titanfall 2 wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable. I shudder to think what EA's influence will have on Titanfall 3... And how long before Respawn is shut down? --- |
| Topic | Video games are not 'too expensive to make' and 'need micro transactions' video. |
| Grendel Prime 11/12/17 11:38:06 AM #24 | helIy posted... Grendel Prime posted...It's a shame studios like Runic get shut down Except Hob came out well after the founders departed and is an awesome game, and Runic was shut down largely due to downsizing at Perfect World. Given with how fantastic Hob is, it's a shame the studio was shut down. Would've liked to see what they would've done next. --- |
| Topic | Video games are not 'too expensive to make' and 'need micro transactions' video. |
| Grendel Prime 11/04/17 10:39:28 AM #8 | The problem is that video games, in their rise in popularity, have become mainstream. Become "Hollywood", so to speak. As such, they're much more corporate, business-oriented, and revenue driven. So, you have less risk taking, less innovation, less creativity, more sequels, more copycats... That's not to say there isn't the opposite of all of this. It's just that by and large AAA development has become this "profit first" monstrosity, at the expense of the gaming community. There's too much bloat, too many corporate talking heads making decisions, instead of game-makers and creative visionaries making decisions. It's a shame studios like Runic get shut down, while the big publishers keep churning out endless sequels and rehashes. Nothing against the CoDs and Maddens of the industry. There's obviously a market for that. But games like Hob are great, and it would've been nice to see some advertising thrown behind a title like that in order to generate some buzz around it. Would've been nice if a bigger publisher would've been more open to taking the risk on a game like Hob, and helping the studio to get the word out. Runic deserved success, not shutdown. (Only using Runic as an example due to their recent closure. Could point to countless other studios.) --- |

| Grendel Prime 11/03/17 5:17:40 PM #21 | BTB posted... What a novel concept, a public receptacle for art where it can be appreciated by anyone free of charge. If only that business model were the standard or something... Let me see if I'm following you. Are you suggesting the internet be tax-funded in some way such as libraries are, maybe grants, or endowments, and that the public should be able to utilize it's content for free? Including media like movies, music, and video games? That's an interesting idea. Unless you were saying something different. --- |
