| Topic | WE HAVE A POLICE CHASE - NEW YEARS EVE EDITION caps |
| AlecSkorpio 12/31/18 9:19:30 AM #3 | The stupid police AI of GTA has completely ruined real life chases for me :( --- |
| Topic | How will you be spending your New Year's Eve? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 11:11:11 PM #11 | Probably sleeping. Most of my friends work, are married with kids or live 90 miles away. And my current health situation doesn't afford me to go out drinking much. --- |
| Topic | Grand Theft Auto V vs Red Dead Redemption 2 |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 5:56:10 PM #5 | Hard to say I think the actual missions in GTA V were better. But I feel like playing RDR2 a lot more because of the world and how much shit is packed into it. It actually feels worthwhile to explore in RDR2 where as GTA V it always felt like they were trying to convince me to do it when there wasn't actually anything there. --- |
| Topic | Why did it become popular to hate Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 5:29:49 PM #11 | I think people should hate Jim Carrey more than Adam Sandler. Didn't he let his girlfriend overdose or something? --- |
| Topic | Man, Macaulay Culkin sure is getting around lately. |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 5:28:49 PM #17 | UnfairRepresent posted... The dude had 50+ million dollars in his name when he was a young teenager. Didn't his dad steal a ton of it though? Like I said, I'm sure he's still set for life but I thought that was a big part of him splitting up from his parents. --- |
| Topic | Man, Macaulay Culkin sure is getting around lately. |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 5:16:27 PM #9 | He's apparently made enough money off Home Alone royalties to be set for life. I think he's just trying to get his new website more traffic. I doubt he runs the website for anything other than the fact he wants to --- |
| Topic | Toyota Tacoma or Ford Ranger? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 5:15:03 PM #7 | CloneTheHero posted... ranger just for the nostalgia. Last I heard the Ranger isn't even a compact anymore and is now a mid range so I don't know where the nostalgia would come from. --- |

| Topic | Serious gamers aren't that keen on the XBox One, are they? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 8:08:28 AM #4 | Most of my Xbox fanboy friends, while getting really defensive if you don't call them a hardcore gamer, are actually pretty fucking casual overall. They tend to just either play one thing, or play everything popular but only for a week or two. Meanwhile, most people I know who buy PS4 just seemed obsessed with Japan and Sony games. --- |
| Topic | Punisher season 2 villain will be alt-right Christian fundamentalist |
| AlecSkorpio 12/30/18 8:04:35 AM #29 | It's not like The Punisher hasn't gone after fundies before, but jesus christ we still aren't going to have a Punisher going after the mob? Not even finishing off Jigsaw? It wouldn't be so bad but you know this is going to get cancelled after this season. --- |

| AlecSkorpio 12/29/18 8:52:04 PM #39 | If there is one thing I've learned from my Texas relatives, it's that you better learn to love Big Red cause that's all those mother fuckers will drink. --- |
| Topic | Why did the remove (spoilers) from Thanos's story? (IW Spoilers??) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/29/18 8:49:05 PM #16 | Zikten posted... The other major change that hugs me is Cap and Bucky being the same age instead of Bucky being like 12 during WW2. I guess I understand why they changed it but it changes the dynamic. Now they are just friends instead of Cap being like a big brother/Father figure to Bucky This was a carryover from the Ultimates, and was also a change that I don't understand people having a problem with. It works way better on film this way. --- |
| Topic | Why did the remove (spoilers) from Thanos's story? (IW Spoilers??) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/29/18 8:43:00 PM #11 | I'll never understand all the changes the MCU has made, and this is the one that some people seem to think is the weird or strange one. --- |
| Topic | Stop ordering diet soda with your fast food meal. |
| AlecSkorpio 12/29/18 6:29:12 PM #31 | I took a nutrition class in college and the nutritionist that taught it swore by diet soda. She said a lot of people just drink so many of their calories and if they can't go straight water they should at least go diet soda. That being said, every time I drink diet soda I always feel super hungry all day so I stopped drinking it. I find I can manage my food urges better by just drinking a regular soda if I really want it. --- |
| Topic | You know it's hard to sympathize with a lot of Dutch's gang in RDR2 *spoilers* |
| AlecSkorpio 12/29/18 5:36:22 PM #26 | You're not supposed to sympathise with the gang. At best you're supposed to maybe sympathise with Arthur and John because they were manipulated by Dutch but even then it's more like you are sad because they could have been decent but chose not too. --- |
| Topic | The ending(s) of ME3 still piss me off to this day (spoilers) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 11:50:40 PM #201 | The happiest Mass Effect ending isn't necessarily the best though. It's pretty fucking boring all things considered. --- |
| Topic | Is this the coolest wrestling move? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 10:04:38 PM #39 | Bad_Mojo posted... There were power rankings for the moves in No Mercy? I didn't know that I think there were? I mean, I know that was the reason I picked it, but I haven't played the game in like 15 years and I was probably about 14 at the time so I may have just assumed it for some reason. --- |
| Topic | Is this the coolest wrestling move? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 10:00:52 PM #37 | I'm partial to the Burning Hammer, but it's entirely because it was the strongest finisher in No Mercy, and thus, MY finisher in No Mercy. --- |
| Topic | Syphon Filter deserves a remake/reboot |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 9:28:03 PM #2 | I wish. I loved Syphon Filter. Honestly, I wish Sony would revive Syphon Filter and the Getaway. I actually cared about those series. --- |

| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 9:22:20 PM #166 | The thing I hate about these debates is it relies to much on meta choices and knowing what is going to happen. Honestly, picking all the "perfect" choices is boring. --- |

Oh, I assumed as much. I just thought it was funny because when I was trying to lose weight I specifically did try this one time and they were like "uhhh, it's going to cost 2 dollars more than a large." And I just said fuck it and finally got some self control when it came to pizza. --- |

| Topic | The ending(s) of ME3 still piss me off to this day (spoilers) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 2:37:07 PM #87 | Oh, I thought you just meant the Synthesis ending. I never cared about Shepard surviving because him surviving was stupid as fuck in the context of the ending, and I preferred him making the ultimate sacrifice so I guess I just never noticed. --- |

| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 2:30:49 PM #79 | ocelot51 posted... They patched it so that you don't need to play multiplayer to get the best ending now. You absolutely did at launch, but for many that was not much of a barrier because multiplayer was goddamn awesome. I played it at launch and still got the best ending. or at least I got Synthesis. Is there something else I'm missing for "best ending"? --- |

How the game forces you (at launch) to engage in microtransaction fueled multiplayer to get the """best""" ending in the hope that singleplayers will drop a few extra dollars to make it go by faster I never played the multiplayer and got the best ending. But I also played every game and made the right choices, I guess :/ --- |

Except he literally does hint at this in certain dialogues in Mass Effect 1, specifically with the Rachni queen. Not to mention him destroying a whole system in Arrival. But yeah, keep going on and on about how everything was foreshadowing towards the military super soldier pushing the galaxy into a forced utopia. --- |
| Topic | The ending(s) of ME3 still piss me off to this day (spoilers) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 12:43:02 PM #56 | Yeah, I feel like a lot of people don't "get" the argument for destroy. It isn't that it's the "good" ending. It's that it's the ending that "makes sense" Nobody is saying that Synthesis or even Control are not more beneficial. It's that it just makes no logical sense to choose them. There is no actual "thing" that shows these are good, logical choices other than a Reaper construct telling you they are good ideas. Similar to how it makes no logical sense to allow the Geth to upload Reaper Programming into themselves for free will when Mass Effect 2 established that the Geth did not actually desire this. It *feels* like a Reaper trick. The idea that these would be choices Shepard would make in the midst of galactic extinction are very VERY strange. It's why I find the second half of ME3 to be so poorly written and rushed. There was more nuance with the Krogan. If I have Wrex and Eve alive, I'm willing to cure to Krogran because I've spent two games now with Wrex and he has shown me that he is absolutely ready to lead the Krogan to a more peaceful existance. But if it's Wreave who is alive? With Eve dead? That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. There isn't any sort of variation of that with the Geth. It goes from "We like who we are, we don't want your idea of invidualism, we want to just go off and be on our own in dark space with our dyson sphere." to "We're willing to genocide the Quarians over a planet we don't really care about, and we uploaded Reaper programming into ourselves, and now suddenly we want individualism and everything we said we didn't want." It's just super SUPER fishy and it's why I tend to let the Quarians kill the Geth. I just can't trust them. --- |
| Topic | The ending(s) of ME3 still piss me off to this day (spoilers) |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 11:33:26 AM #24 | The thing that baffles me about ME3 is that the endings should have literally been 2. You defeat the Reapers, and Shepard dies 3. You don't defeat the Reapers People wanted there to be a consequence of their choices, but being realistic there couldn't have been the million of differences that people wanted. It should have basically boiled down to if you did enough correct choices Shepard would survive, and if you did enough incorrect choices that Shepard would have to sacrifice himself. From there, they could do an epilogue where your choices further changed the basic outcome of the Galaxy (probably Humans are dominant or not, because of the obvious Renegade/Paragon parallels to human dominance or co-existance) as well as slides detailing what happened to certain characters based on outcomes just like in Fallout. The bad ending, much like in ME2, would be so fucking hard to achieve that you'd have to be actively trying to get it. The reason I say this, of course, is that even with this ending you could easily *continue* Mass Effect. Maybe it would be centuries down the line or whatever, but there could be a continuation. As it stands, there is no fucking way to continue the series because the endings are so vastly fucking different. Which seems like such a stupid fucking thing to do since EA was pushing for Mass Effect to be their big multi media property along with Dragon Age. --- |
| Topic | Why can't Hitman break through to the mainstream? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/27/18 12:28:00 AM #33 | Absolution was enjoyable as a game, but it was a slap in the face to Hitman fans who had been waiting like six years for a Hitman game. It also kind of sucked cause like it completely fucking derailed the entire story that had been building up. --- |

| Topic | Why can't Hitman break through to the mainstream? |
| AlecSkorpio 12/26/18 11:39:22 PM #11 | Hitman is always going to be a niche title in todays environment. I'd argue that even back in the day it was niche, but it wasn't as noticeable because gaming wasn't as huge. --- |
