I’ve been spending too much time on the internet, I can immediately predict which chuds are going to get extremely angry about this and in what way.

I’m not convinced it’s actually Billy, based largely on the fact that the necklace reciept conveniently had no first name. I think there’s a good chance it was actually John, based on two scenarios:

Was that Witcher screenshot running graphics mods? I don’t remember the game ever looking that good.

I played Diablo 2 quite a bit back in the day, and until I read this article I didn’t know the game had PVP. Granted, I had dial-up then and I don’t think I was ever connected to the internet while I was playing it.

“In the attack, Ravus and Lunafreya’s mother is murdered while Regis picks up his son and promptly gets the fuck out. As Ravus screams for help over the body of his mother, he sees the king run right past, never looking back. That moment stays with Ravus for his entire life, engendering in him an abiding and…

Okay now I don’t want to know what he looks like anymore

“It’s been a little over a month since Square Enix launched Marvel’s Avengers”

I’m hearing this for the first time, and it just sounds like “So Long Bowser” with a weird fake Italian inflection at the end of the second word: “So Long-ge Bowser!”

Does anyone else think the costumeless fall guys look like Tenga eggs?

This game has been utterly baffling to me from the start. Having all of these different characters with wildly different gameplay styles was odd to begin with, but then they said it’s going to be a live service loot-based game. It really seems like the developers didn’t know what type of game they were making (and…

But that’s also the rub. The Dungeon Finder is cited as one of the banes of modern WoW; people wanted Classic so they could go back to a time where you had to work to establish a warband.

Depending on the specifics of your bed, you might want to consider something like this for your monitor. I also use a hospital bed and I was able to attach it to a metal bar at the foot of mine. It let me use my PC again after more than two years, as I can’t sit at a desk for very long.

It’s definitely much more Counter Strike than Overwatch. Which I haven’t played enough of to say whether it’s evolving the genre or not, but I thought it was fun when I played the beta.

Lots of ominous hand-wringing about Riot’s connections to Tencent, which is in turn connected to the Chinese government. The people going down this route usually won’t come out and directly say what it is they’re actually suggesting, but the gist of it seems to be that the Chinese government is going to use Valorant’s…

This is a good overview of how the Gamer Outrage Cycle works. I’ve unscubscribed from multiple sub-reddits over the last few weeks because they were flooded with repetitive posts complaining about the Valorant anti-cheat, and it’s pretty much the same process: just this feverish hive of misinformation and disingeuous…

This is something I’ve been wondering about since the game was announced. Vikings have undergone a similar process of sanitization as pirates (looking at you, Black Flag) but whereas it’s just about possible to make a story about “good” pirates who are scrappy underdogs stealing from the rich to get by, that’s kind of…

Is it normal for American politicians to go off about current events in graduation speeches? I keep seeing news articles about that happening, and it seems very odd to me.

Aeris(th?)‘s death was in a trailer on a demo disc that I saw like half a year before Final Fantasy 7 ever came out. I think it might have been in a magazine as well. Going into the game, the fact that the guy with the big sword kills the pink lady was more or less the only thing I knew about it. Tons of my friends…

Due to disability I have an ad-hoc setup somewhat similar to this, facilitated mostly by a hospital bed provided by my local health service (thank you, European healtchare). I don’t dress like a ninja before I use it though.
