Watched this last night. The short version is that you can get through the whole game really fast as long as you can manage to pull off a whole bunch of frame perfect tricks in a single playthrough.

Miller Motorsports Park in Utah has some pretty cool corner names.  

A bit disappointed that Silksong didn’t show up, but it looks like a pretty solid lineup.

I’m not a big fan of AMD either (every time I’ve used one of their GPUs I’ve had nothing but driver problems) and my gaming rig is still Intel and Nvidia.  Then again, I haven’t used one in a desktop PC since the Athlon/Duron era.  They had pretty good price/performance when they actually worked, but I always seemed…

Most likely messing with the new items in Super Mario Maker 2, assuming my left Joycon doesn’t start drifting...

That may be true, but it seems like virtually every new system build I’ve seen people in my groups do in the last six months has used a Ryzen.  

Not to mention that Wheel of Fortune (the game show) has been used as a slot machine theme in the US for a long time. I’m guessing they’re going to have to change the name.

One story that was missed here: AMD taking over the high-end CPU market from Intel basically overnight with their third generation Ryzen CPUs. To be fair the PC I built this year still has an Intel CPU in it, but it seems like the general consensus in the PC hobbyist community is that Intel is years behind, and you’d…

Given how much they had to pay him to do this one (the rumor was £50 million), they probably couldn’t afford another one.

If I had to pick a favorite game soundtrack, I think it would be a tossup between Super Metroid and the first Super Mario Galaxy. Super Metroid’s soundtrack just fits the game’s atmosphere perfectly and has a certain sound to it that just hasn’t quite been matched since then.

The RTX 2070 in my desktop gaming rig seems to be going bad, so it’s going out for an RMA. In the meantime, been playing some Legend of Bumbo on our living room PC.  Fun for now, but I’m not sure how much replayability it’s going to have in the long run.  

There’s a scene in the anime where Team Rocket’s Meowth tries to take a bite out of a Magikarp and it breaks his teeth.

And then there’s the minor problem of what happens if your dinner suddenly turns into a Gyarados...

Yes, but what if you don’t count LeMons?

Mark Martin was the favorite in our house, but Bill Elliott was the one my Dad rooted for before Martin showed up.

This has been going on for a while. I remember that when I bought a physical copy of Skyrim for PC around the time of its original release the disc in the box was basically just there for decoration, and you would have to go to Steam and download most (if not all) of the game anyway if you tried to install off of it.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, and for some reason all the flights (except for the ones on Spirit, which I have no intention of ever trying) were either really expensive or had really long layovers (something like 8 hours in SFO), to the point that we found it to be something like $150 cheaper per person to fly to…

Been playing for a few hours now, enjoying it so far, but it definitely needs some polish and some bug fixing. It would also be nice if the pace of gameplay was a little faster (it feels like we’re spending just a bit too much time waiting for animations to finish.)

Without getting into spoilers, there are direct connections.

Much better, now it’s just Jim Carrey that’s making the whole thing creepy beyond all reason.

Warp 9 for me would be 100MPH in the beater ‘84 Toyota Camry I used to drive. Did it only a couple of times on I-90 between Issaquah and North Bend, it was just as ill-advised as it sounds. In other conditions, I’d also go with doing 85 on the stretch of I-5 through Camp Pendleton just to keep up with traffic in a…
