So about that beer lol Maybe don't say you're contracted with a brewery when you actually aren't

The fact that I have any morals left is the only reason I haven't started grifting conservatives. Imagine spending $30 on a 6 pack of beer with 4% alcohol content to trigger the libs lol

Physical media won't get delisted for you

I will say this about Mickey: Probably the best classic cartoons he's in are ones based on fairy tales. He's great as a stand in there for stuff like Jack and the Beanstalk, or The Brave Little Tailor.

Older cartoons he was definitely kind of neurotic. The newer cartoons he definitely has that kind of energy.

I honestly enjoyed the batshit energy of this episode lol

I was honestly surprised that I liked it when I tried it.

No, I'm Catholic. But I think people should be free to believe what they want, and the government saw a bunch of weirdos in the desert and thought "Hey let's murder these people and take selfies with the corpses for shits and giggles."

It's a bit more complex than that. The problem wasn't a bunch of religious weirdos, it was reports of sexual abuse of children,as well as other abuse.

so you basically have no idea what your talking about since the PS5 and series x both have better specs than the wiiu and switch combined...

I think the point is that Nintendo's lane is doing something different aside from "MORE POWER" every generation. They tried that with the Gamecube and biffed it, so they changed their strategy. Wii was gimmicky, but they sold a shit ton of them. WiiU had AWFUL marketing for what was honestly a cool little system, and crashed with that. Switch seems to have hit the sweet spot of gimmicky and functional for people. It's pretty fun as a companion for another console or PC if you play on that.

Don't worry about it. I can't say the same won't happen again but I'd like to think I'm improving and growing as a person.

Ok..... not sure how lacking remorse for doing something awful to someone for no real reason means you're improving as a person, but, anyway

I have. We was going to meet in person, she "cheated" on me and I basically became obsessed with her and ruined her life. I don't even feel any remorse at this point.

Ummmmm

I'm pretty sure it's just California that causes cancer and not the chemicals known to them. If they were concerned about the well-being of the tax payer they would do something about the L.A. rat problem and the public deification in San Francisco.

I love how every time California comes up, someone pops up to act like we live in some sort of post apocalyptic hellhole lol

Anyway, this is why I hate how the media frames things. Instead of saying "California is banning Titanium Dioxide in foods, something other countries have already done here is a list of foods on the market that contain it" its "STUPID COMMIEFORNIA BANNING SKITTLEZ"

The thing is they already make a version without the banned ingredient in the rest of the world.

This. Just sell those in the U.S. too. The end.

Not really a fan before, but his songs hit different when you realize they're about 13 year olds.

My parents got it a month or so ago. They're both vaxxed, and took meds for it, so they basically had a bad cold for a week.

Not in our lifetime

Yes, the potential colonization of Mars, if it ever happens, would be a multi generational endeavor. It has to start SOMEWHERE though.

We have 1 on 1 meetings every 2 weeks in my department just to touch base.

Thats the answer

they all went on smoke breaks every hour

The trick was to befriend the manager that smoked and got extra breaks by smoking with them.

I smoked lol

This is why I don't like talking to right wing family members. We can be having a quiet day of fishing and then one will want to rant about immigrants or something and now on stuck on a boat with them. I'm pretty liberal/progressive and I basically never go out of my way to just force my politics on to people.

I dunno if they used to be better or my tastes changed, but I got one the other day and it just tasted way to sweet and artificial. If the syrup doesn't mix well, you'll just get a mouthful that tastes like you're eating toothpaste lol The McFlurry was a bit better, but same problem if you don't really mix it up well.

pretty good idea to be able to disable super-powered cyborgs

I understand WHY, it just blows as a game mechanic lol

Probably Unforgiven. Great ensemble cast, and imo, Clint Eastwood's best acting and directing performance. Great deconstruction of the Hollywood western without being up its own ass.

Gotta mention Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the original version. Early in the game your biochip starts experiencing glitches, and there's a small optional quest to replace it. Fast forward to the end of the game and, guess what? That glitch was actually the illuminati trying to force augmented people to get a new chip they can control with a kill switch. You are now fighting the hardest boss in the game with every augment deactivated.

Also, Farcry 2. If you bust your ass to keep all your buddies alive in the 2nd half of the game , they repay you by turning on you and you have to fight them all at once. I never finished the game thanks to having to fight like 4 of them at the same time, and one was just launching missiles at me like it was going out of style. What psycho decided to PUNISH you for not letting teammates die?

Also maybe controversial but Zero Mission post Mother Brain is a slog

I've never been a fan of the Zero Suit section. Kind of hate when non stealth games force a stealth section into it.

Safe red district and ran unopposed because her troglodyte followers were sending death threats to her opponent so he withdrew.

I want to know if the new controls are much better, the one thing that's kept me from replaying the old versions were the controls, even 10 years ago they were awful and clunky compared to any competent shooter.

Significantly better. Some parts that were more difficult for me 20 years ago were kind of easy just having good, normal controls lol I wiped the floor with the Omega Pirate without breaking much of a sweat.

it's that time of year again, when people don't realize big refunds means they paid more in taxes than required

Depends on if they have any refundable credits.

Anyway, wife and I owed over $2000 this year, and that was with an education credit since I'm also in school. We cracked $100,000 this year, and don't have any kids. Honestly, I may adjust my withholdings again, since despite what we make, California is expensive and we don't always have a few thousand sitting around.

Eh, this was bound to happen at some point just due to inflation. $70 isn't that bad, especially when you consider that Chrono Trigger was $80, in 1995 money.

No, I'm pretty much riding my S10+ until it dies. I only ever get like, the NEWEST thing when my old phone craps out, ie, my older Galaxy finally gave up on me when the s10+ dropped. That one actually died also, but I just used my insurance this time around to get a replacement. I had just paid the thing off, so I wasn't in the mood for adding to my phone bill again for awhile.

People forget how massive those balloons are. Basically waited for a chance to shoot it down over water so no one would possibly get hit by debris falling from 30,000+ feet.

I mean.. he has a 14 year old girlfriend, that's not sus enough?

None of those, that's for sure. I live in San Diego. Anyway, my favorite restaurant here is Hacienda Casa Blanca.

Yes and no. Some of them are fun and interesting, but the "You missed one item at the beginning of the game and are now locked into a no-win scenario" and "You clicked three pixels to the left and a half-second too slow and now you're dead" aspects of their game design kind of suck.

It's why I tend to view LucasArts as the #1 point-and-click adventure game studio from that era. They focused a bit more on having fun and telling interesting stories than on punishing players and making things excessively hard to encourage people to call the Sierra hint-line for clues.

Pretty much this. Old Sierra games were usually pretty obtuse and the ability to get stuck in a no win scenario hours into a game if you miss something early on is just awful design.

Sounds like its embarrassingly bad on YOUR PC

I wouldn't say the second was 80s themed. It just took place in the 80s. But I don't recall a lot or emphasis on 80s related pop culture or anything.. then again it was a forgettable movie

Is James Gunn not confident he could do a better job or something? Cause let's face it love or hate the movies you gotta admit alot of people liked gal Godot as wonder woman.

It was just there to bridge the gap more between the first movie, and the current day, considering she'd been running around since WWI. I guess we're lucky they at least put her in '84 and didn't drag out out by having a WWII sequel or something.

First one was a blast and one of the saving graces of the DCU. The second was an overlong, meandering mess.

Its ok, for a chain steak house.

Nope. I live in San Diego. Spent a winter in Milwaukee ages ago and it sucks ass. Yes, its pretty after the first snow fall, then it turns to gray sludge, and you spent the next several months trying to prevent yourself from busting your ass on ice.

Fireball after I overdid it a few years ago and woke up with the worse headache in my entire life. Too much sugar in that stuff.

One last adventure to send the character off on a higher note than 4 did would be nice. Now, as jank as Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was, it did have a sweet little ending w/ him marrying Marion. Hoping we get a good explanation why his wife and son are nowhere to be found in this one though.

Probably Gen 3. I spent a lot of time on Ruby and Emerald back in the day. I was working at Hollywood Video and going to community college at the time , and bussed to both places, so I killed a lot of time on the bus w/ my GBA SP. I'm aware this is mostly just a nostalgia bias based on my early 20s being a pretty fun time in general.

Depends on the game, some hold up much better than others. The 16 bit generation aged pretty well, so a lot from that time can still be enjoyed without too much context. For example, Super Metroid has tight gameplay, great music and some of the best graphics on the SNES. Save points and a map also help quite a bit, so someone can pick it up for the first time now and probably have some fun. The ORIGINAL Metroid though... different story. Its so obtuse with its secrets, a lot of rooms look the same, and you kind of need to hand draw your own map to get around (unless you just use a guide) My friend's kid is 6, and really likes the old Sonic games, they're colorful, fast paced and you literally only need to use one button to control Sonic, so its very easy for a younger kid to just pick up and play.

I'm 42 and its hit or miss. I can have a few drinks and feel fine the next day, or randomly feel like ass when I wake up. Usually when I start mixing is when that happens though.

Pop country. Just that shit kicking "I LUV MURICA AND MY TRUCK" nonsense.

People be like "DLC bad, back in MY day we just kept buying Street Fighter II at full price over and over!"

MagicalPrincess posted...

DLC. Just make the full game flat out. Also, remakes that remove things instead of just adding on to. Example is REmake of 1 is a remake done right but remakes of RE2 and 3 are a disservice and RE4 remake is also a disservice because in the original Ada is wearing the red dress and in the remake she'll be wearing a red sweater. As I said, REmake of 1 is a remake done right and there's no excuse to have RE2 and 3 not done like that and there's no excuse to have Ada in a sweater instead of the red dress.

I can't tell if this is serious with the remake of RE4 being a "disservice", because of a sweater.

I legit lol'd at him playing the Doom Tiger hand held saying it couldn't get any worse, then cutting to him with the R-Zone on "Oh God! It's worse!"

It's probably getting close to the time to just retire AVGN. Its just a weird relic now of early Youtube and that dreadful "EVERY REVIEWER IS ANGRY" era. His old videos were decent, but I don't think his heart is in the character anymore.

No. It was racism against blacks that made it illegal.
