Such a magical and unique time for gaming. One that I’m sad I missed, being born in 91. I was brought up in a gaming home though, so I had a computer capable of Doom, was given it on my third Christmas and was told I was mature enough to play the game and understand it is nothing more than a game if I could get it to…

Coming up on 20 years old, lol. There are legions of gamers born younger than FFVII.

How do you think I feel when people think I’m being racist when I reminisce about “master/slave” hard drive configurations in computers? Or how confused they are when I talk about hooking up an Atari VCS with a twin lead antenna…

Don’t you dare. Kill the shit out of every Mei you see, that shit. I will never hesitate to call her an outright bitch on the field.

Sorry. Sorry.... So sorry.... Sorry!

Quite frankly, a multiplayer game with 21 different characters, 12 different maps, -three- different gametypes (not two as the review mentions), and such utterly wonderful gameplay and graphics for 40 bucks? That’s a -fantastic- bargain.

Then you consider that it’s by Blizzard. They don’t just support their games, they…

I’m not sure about that, but what I can tell you is that her bank account is massively, hugely... oh... negative.

I... wow. Is this not considered unprofessional there? I wouldn’t say anything if it were your own home, or if you had a couple to add some personal flair to your workspace, but what looks to be well over a hundred of them?

I’d be very wary about doing that, but hey, if it worked for you lol.

Because debt is pretty much a requirement in the US. Without debt, there’s no way for anyone to determine how reliable you are in paying off debt, which means there’s no way to get a new car or house unless you have the cash up front, and if you have the cash up front for those things, credit score is probably…

Except in both of those situations you learned how to do those things, you developed the willpower to do those things, and you feel the gratification from reaching specific goals.

Those three results lead you to one outcome: if a realistic goal is set, it can be met.

Most people who feel like they can’t lose weight or…

I highly doubt the people making death threats over video games have any social or economic stability, since they’re placing so much importance — so much emotional weight — on a game. This sounds like you’re automatically targeting well-off, young white males because that group is socially acceptable to blame at this…

You walk on eggshells when talking about games in 2016? I think you’re projecting your own fears quite a bit. Almost no one knows about this stuff outside of the enthusiast demographic, and if you’re talking with someone in that demographic they’ll quickly be able to determine if you’re a ridiculous fanboy or if…

There’s a difference between a 10 year old repeating some vulgar shit he heard to talk shit in an online video game, and a death threat. I was one of those kids in the early aughts, except I was around 14 at the time.

Funny that I’ve never once raped, harmed (outside of a couple self-defense situations I was forced to…

All of this makes sense from a public accountability and accessibility standpoint; however, we definitely don’t want one of those aspects when it comes to our nuclear launch capabilities.

This technology is painfully difficult to use. It’s disconnected from any network. It pretty much can’t be hacked unless you’re on…

It’s interesting how our eyes just refuse to see certain typos, as long as they’re close enough to what our mind expects to see.

As interesting as that is, it’s still a pain in the ass if you’re a writer, especially since there was no spelling error there, so you can’t even rely on an automated checker.

I never cared much for Beyond Oasis, Landstalker, any of those games that had a Zelda-type slant to them on the Genesis (Mega Drive). Didn’t feel like a good fit for the hardware or controller.

Definitely my favorite console though. So many classics. I keep thinking about picking them up on Steam for convenience sake…

I couldn’t get over how awful and sluggish the combat felt. Like playing with a controller submerged in molasses. I wanted to love it because of the visual style and different take on storytelling in a Souls-type game, but that just wasn’t happening.

I ended up picking up Dark Souls III after playing Lords, and it was…

I wrote Doom off completely after the multiplayer beta. F0und out after release that it has a spectacular single player campaign, which I’m always a fan of. Wolf TNO was just fantastic. Metro Last Light was great. Shadow Warrior was crazy fun. Multiplayer is my go-to usually, but a good, focused FPS campaign can win…

I’m pretty sure that I feel the same way about anthropomorphic characters and fursuits as Trump does about black and Mexican people.

Ah, you’re right. I was recently running lengths of HDMI in my theater, dealing with a much lower cap, so I was leaning towards a much smaller length limit before degradation.

I’ve got 25' HDMI cables, skirting awfully close to that limit. I know that HDMI is digital so it’s all or nothing, but I still feel like I’m…

I definitely laughed. I didn’t realize what the avatar was. I thought you weren't supposed to advertise that you're carrying. First way to avoid escalation, I thought. If he said that only real EPs don't advertise, essentially, it's odd that he's advertising.
