The 30% rule is of a bygone era, sorry. I have a good job in a cheapish metro area and not a chance could I only spend 30% on rent+utilities, I’d live in a shack in the middle of nowhere.

At least it’s not Assassin’s Creed concept art.

I’ve heard a lot of guys brag that if they ran, they’d trip over their own dick, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it happen.

“If I was told to be myself in a commentator role that clearly had more of a PG-13 sort of setting, I’m not gonna be cursing. I can still be myself, though. I’ll just omit anything that comes to mind that’s clearly not appropriate for the context...

This just reads to me as a big manchild trying to justify his shitty behavior. Which could be unfair, but really.

no Nier: Automata. tss..

Video Games.

I’m a sucker so I’m finally going to splurge on a new 3DS as it looks pretty swank. I also drew some Corrins last week:

Heh, would be hilarious if it was a dealbreaker for someone.

In a nutshell.

In the end only mad catz won.

Wow. “Thanks for making me feel like a Beatle,” sums it up pretty nicely. I think it’s fantastic that Aaron gets such praise after being just number two for so long. It’s like Ron Weasley becoming the Quidditch rockstar — he finally gets a piece of the Fame & Glory pie. That moment when the crowd starts chanting your…
