The first part of this comment is me, and then I fail at the 50/50 part. I love listening to people tell me about themselves and their goings on. However, I have crazy anxiety and always falter trying to ask the right questions to keep things moving along once the back and forth on one topic is finished. And god…

The Rooks and Kings EVE videos are just the best. They’re every bit as interesting as the war documentaries you used to see on television with dramatized diary and correspondence excerpts and calm but somehow still impassioned explanations of strategy and reaction.

Here ya go.

I really enjoyed The Midas Flesh, but I did not enjoy the nightmare thoughts that come from thinking about the same thing happening in real life.

I’ve backed a decent handful of projects (4-5?) that have had similar issues where a majority of backers find their fund transfer has failed (almost every time for the ones I’ve seen it’s been auto-reported as a credit card decline, though it isn’t actually). I could be misremembering, but I think it’s always happened…

I got a text once (five or six years ago, I think) from someone claiming to be Demi Lovato. She asked if I was Justin (I am not a Justin of any sort), and she said Miley told her my number was Justin’s. I informed her Miley was wrong.

In @matu_otoko_a’s image, does anybody happen to know the plant sitting beside the shell under the lamp (not the Tillandsia in the glass)? I don’t recognize it, but unless it’s fake (not sure if waxy or plastic...) it’s impressively dense.

Maybe the trailer’s editing was meant to obscure the franchise reveal, but I think it was pretty clear from the beginning to anyone who remembers Nintendo’s commercials for Ocarina of Time that this was a Zelda game. They used the same Basil Poledouris score, which I always assumed was a deliberate statement.

Your experience mirrors mine pretty much perfectly. I knew very little about its background material going into Brutal Legend (I’ve never minded metal, but rarely seek it out), but it impressed me in almost every way. I’d easily count it in my top handful of favorite games.

It made me think of this...

Rube: What a gorgeous dog.George: Isn’t she?Mason: Is it a golden?George: Yes! She is.Mason: What’s its name?George: J. D.[Rube looks underneath J. D.]Rube: J. D.’s a male.George: Yes, she is.Mason: Why you callin’ him a she if he’s a he?George: Because dogs are referred to in the feminine.Rube: In the way some guy…

I logged so many hours walking around and exploring the Enterprise D with the Interactive Technical Manual. At the time, I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Well you may not have liked Dennis McCarthy’s DS9 theme but John Williams liked it enough to use it as the opening ceremony theme for the 1996 Olympic games.

Carrying this thought through, while I don't feel too weird or dopey playing through an empowerment thrill ride the first time, what does it mean if I go back more than a decade later to do it again? Am I just some weird masochist who likes to play simulated hardship so that I can enjoy programmed and plotted…

Easily one of my favorite games on the Super Nintendo.

He's joking. Torkoal's type is "Coal Pokemon."
