I hate a lot of modern "shopping" sites because all the fluff they add. Amazon keeps it simple, I like that.

Spend the money on making sure I get my shit, not on a flashy store front.

Target, only reason I go to Walmart is to laugh at the customers.

Last time I was at Walmart, they ran out of plastic bags...HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT??!?!?

I probably recognize about 80% of the people on this board, but I only know enough about less then half of them to even form an opinion on if I like them or not.

You weren't allowed to leave campus (unless you were a senior) so those were your only options.

I think that might be the main difference - even elementary school students are free to leave and come back any time during the day.

Depending on where you live, that can be dangerous. Which is probably another main difference...

I don't know if it was dangerous in my area, but it certainly wasn't really an option. My town didn't have fast food until I was like 15, and the diner was a good hour long walk from either the elementary/middle school (they were right next to each other) or the high school. Plus, most kids lived a good 5 miles or so from the school so it was not like they were going to walk home.

The only reason kids would have to leave campus would be to do some drugs in the woods behind the school. Otherwise you are basically just walking though fields.

Human Revolution had some wonky aiming too. I like the games and all but it feels like the Eidos Montreal Deus Ex games are meant to be played stealth, which feels very un-Deus Ex to me.

Stealth should be an option, not a suggestion.

But when I think...

Actually, nothing you have posted suggests that at all.

Don't be a negative nancy - school lunches aren't a thing here, let alone lines of credit for children.

So kids don't eat?

I mean when I was in school you either:

1) Brought your lunch
2) Bought your lunch
3) Got PB&J with skim milk

You weren't allowed to leave campus (unless you were a senior) so those were your only options.

I haven't seen a movie in theaters in almost 8 years so I doubt this one would convince me to do so. If it shows up on Netflix then I might consider it for a second before ultimately watching more Star Trek.

Knowing how Square treats their PC ports I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the PS4 version running in an emulator. Unless they actually let Eidos port it then it might be halfway decent.

I thought 3D Realms was basically just a name for a company now that was based in the Netherlands and only owned the rights/properties. Not the actual developers.

Anyways, I will probably buy it. It looks fun at least.

My house I guess. I could say my car, but I consider it more of a necessity then a luxury. I could always go back to living in an apartment (I wouldn't though) but I need a car to get anywhere.

Apparently 8 years ago I thought Metroid Prime was the worst Metroid game. And while I agree with my reasoning I wouldn't say that today.

My favorite though was in a topic complaining about Thief 4 there was a person actually trying to argue that it is impossible for people to function in first person because perception is impossible. I think my contribution basically boiled down to "umm...no" but it was funny going through this topic having him basically say that anyone that can function in first person (I.E. everyone) was lying. The topic went on for 164 posts.

Once a day, I just feel gross otherwise, even in the winter.

I might skip a Saturday or Sunday once in a while, but at the end of the day I just feel nasty and usually regret it.

Board activity has gone down drastically over the years. It feels like just yesterday when we used to regularly see user counts over 10K. And I am not talking about "prime" time, that would be while I was at work.

Speak for yourself, if my 14 year old cousin told me she got it on with her teacher I would high five her.

if youd kept reading the thread youd realize they are factually not right even a little bit

I did, and if anything you are the person spreading miss-information.

Yes, if you want to run games on maximum you are going to spend more then a PS4, but you also aren't going to be able to do that on a PS4 Pro anyways so it is a moot point. You also don't need a GPU, Memory, or a CPU cooler to run games, just using on-board graphics and memory from the motherboard will do it while still giving you the option to upgrade later (something that the PS4 won't give you). Hell, you could go even cheaper and buy a Raspberry Pi if all you play is indie games.

Plus in 10 - 15 years when the online service for whatever game you bought is dead, it is more likely that the PC version will at least have mods so that you can still play it vs the PS4 version which won't.

you could put a reasonably decent gaming PC together for $500+ these days

pls stop spreading misinformation like this. you can build a passable gaming pc for 500 but you ain't running anything at full. it makes a lot more sense to buy a ps4 if you've already got the games

There's another thing that people who hate chains rarely acknowledge: while the best local places are usually better than chain restaurants, the worst local places are usually worse than chain restaurants. There are a lot of really crappy local places.

Yea, but that is what experimentation is about, AKA leaving your comfort zone. When a new restaurant opens up the first thing I do (once the initial rush of customers dies down) is try it out. If it is bad, then I don't need to go back. If it is good, then I can add it to my list of places I will go to eat from time to time. There are plenty of pizza places in my area that I tried once and vow to never set foot into again (one my friends and I affectionately named "feetza") but I could also name off half a dozen that are actually really good that I never would have known about if I only ate at the big 4 listed in this topic, or even the local chains that are big enough to have advertising on local television.

Where the fuck did the idea of comics not being political come from?
Comics have been political since day fucking 1.

I don't know if it is so much political vs. not as it is uniting vs. dividing.

In the golden age comics were "political" sure, but it was done as a way to unite people in the war effort. Nowadays comics aren't so much uniting people under a common goal so much as "Hey, lets make the Red Skull into Donald Trump, LOL!!!"

Plus if you go back far enough, I don't think there were very many political Penny Dreadful's. Not like I have read a ton, but still.

Domino's, but only by a little bit. Their quality is decent, the price is fair, but it is nothing I actively seek out.

Little Caesar's is cheap but the quality is sub-par. Probably just above frozen pizza if that. Papa Johns is OK, but nowhere close to worth the insane prices they charge for it. And Pizza Hut is shit, pure and simple. I would rather drink the grease left over from the fryer at Long John Silver's then eat another Pizza Hut "pizza".

Most Democrats would probably consider me a Republican, and most Republicans would probably consider me a Democrat. Mostly I just like pissing off people who take their politics way too seriously.

If I had to choose one party over the other though, then I would promptly cut my dick off with a rusty butter knife and shove it into the mouth of the person holding a gun to my head.

Normal usage I usually have to charge it every night. If I use it as a GPS though I am lucky to get a couple of hours out of it before I need to charge it again.

It is a 3 year old phone at this point though so the battery is basically shot.

Usually Italian, but lately I have been on a Mexican kick. Greek is also good, but it is so common here that I don't really consider it ethnic. Even the local mom & pop pizza places usually serve Greek style pizza instead of Italian.

There used to be an Arby's a couple towns over from me that was 50's themed. Like they always had 50's music playing, had a lot of old movie posters from the 50's, that kind of stuff. They even had the front of a 50's Corvette hanging over the Arby's sign, I loved going there as a kid!

Unfortunately a few years ago the franchise made them take all that down and now they are just a generic Arby's.

edit: Turns out they closed it too. :(

i don't remember shunting being in takedown

well, revenges shunting, where you just ran into the back of someone and they flew over you, anyways

i'm thinking of "Traffic checking" which was added to burnout revenge

Yeah this. Shunting was in takedown but it was mostly for those missions where it was like see how many cars you could destroy in x amount of time. Revenges shunting ruined the game for me. From what I remember.

Well, from what I remember (and it has been 10 years since I played Takedown or Revenge, but I did play them one right after the other), the shunting in Revenge was not really easier, just that the missions gave you more opportunities to perform them. Conversely you tended to have to drive more carefully because the tracks have more opportunities to crash.
