It’s all armor and weapons, but this is actually a huge boon because it works out the same as a stat-based game, but without a lot of the undesirable trappings. If you want more attack power, equip armor that ups your attack and weapons with high attack ratings. If you want a special ability, equip something that…

One of the best quality of life changes in this game is that they took 90% of the information that you used to have to look up in a wiki and put it into the game proper. Stuff like monster strengths and weaknesses, hitzones, weapon upgrade paths, gather points on maps, and what monsters drop what materials. There’s…

Yeah it’s a design choice for sure. MH has always tended away from having you do things ‘on reaction’ and more toward you doing things in advance and committing to them fully. What I mean is, they don’t want you to start a weapon swing without being sure it will land. They don’t want you to drink a potion without…

That kind of rhetoric from the bench seems like a great way to give someone the possibility of a successful appeal.

Miss, you are about to find out just how wrong you are.

I had to read this a few times before I could remember where it came from. And God bless you, that is fantastic.

One of my favorite things I ever read: “If a dragon says to you, ‘Don’t worry, I may not eat you until later’, worry.”

Saying ‘your classmates are going to kill you’ if you don’t pull your weight is something no reasonable person would recognize as a threat.

To be fair, I’m not sure this is racism and not simple thoughtlessness. I’ve jokingly told other people before that they would be ‘lynched’ if they did something unpopular. Now, to be sure, I’m certain the people I’ve said that to were not black. If I tell my buddy John that his bowling team will lynch him if he…

You’re so edgy. I bet you got through the whole thing without dying even a single time.

What makes me sad though, is that I’ve come to realize that a lot of people really feel this way. I want nothing more than for people of all races, creeds, nationalities, gender orientations, and so on, to come together and treat each other with respect, but I’ve found to my great sadness that a lot of people just…

“Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up?” - William Faulkner

Last year I went to Japan for two weeks. But, prior to that, I spent months learning how to behave, continuing to learn about the culture, and asking questions of natives about etiquette. I realized that I was a traveler who had been graciously allowed to visit another country as a guest, and it was very important to…

If you get the chance, visit Hiroshima, and you will remember how to be afraid.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but trends don’t lie.

As someone who lives in Texas, this made me laugh out loud. Unfortunately, no matter where you go, there will always be crazy, stupid asshats.

Sorry, a colloquialism. I’m saying he was, uh, not good.

Can they? I dunno, let’s find out. You know, my uncle on my mother’s side is one of Donald Trump’s regular drivers, and to hear him tell it, Trump can’t orgasm unless he’s strangling a kitten. I mean, that’s just what I heard.

So, in the wake of the controversy this seemed an ideal time to switch pizzarias. Also, a lot of people were saying that say, Domino’s had better pizza. So why not? But having switched for several weeks, I have to ask... in what sane universe is Domino’s, Pizza Hut, or Little Caesar’s better than Papa Johns? Dominoes…

God, Yunsung, what a turkey he was.
