Blasphemy! Avi’s bass is the best singing voice in the group!

Not as far as I know, but I never played the original, so I wouldn’t likely be able to spot it if it existed

I had a different but still strange interaction when paying down Student Loans from Wells Fargo. Whenever I made an extra payment, they would reduce the monthly payment to match the term remaining instead of shortening the term. Over the course of a year I had the payment on one loan drop from ~$70 to exactly $50

Not really, they’ve just stopped being the big genre to chase. While being a MMO clone was popular for a long time, now its being a MoBa (a la League or DoTA), or a card game (a la Hearthstone)

Except even for some non-threatening issues, you can still have to wait long periods of time for appointments. Mental health being one of the big ones. I’m currently having to have a general practitioner prescribe my meds for depression because the waiting list for any doctor in the area is over 6 months for an

You only see it the first time you take a skill upgrade.

The soundtrack is easily the best game soundtrack of any game I’ve played this year, and probably ranks in the top 20 if not 10 I’ve ever experienced.

Assuming you go directly for it, you can have a shotgun in roughly a half hour. Even with some light exploring, you can get it in the first hour. The fire bastard above will likely be encountered before you get your first shotgun normally (though I would have expected most people to find the pistol before that point)

True, but it doesn’t have the impenetrable menus and skill trees of System Shock.

Demo isn’t on PC, so that might not be an option for everyone.

If its anything when my Boy Scout Troop got kicked out of a church basement because it was closing, not really. We had a hard time finding another building to hold our meetings at afterwards.

Sounds kinda like the various “Legacy” games that have become popular in the last year or two like Risk Legacy or Pandemic Legacy.

The red MAGA hat wasn’t white enough for him.

Oh gawd that hat! Was the red “Make Amaerica Great Again” hat not white enough for him?

I checked the math, it wasn’t calculated as part of the Social Security and other taxes, it was just delivered with the paycheck.

Can’t say I’ve had that experience. In all three cases I’ve had, the reimbursement was in my next paycheck.

Can’t find the quote, but I believe I remember seeing in an interview that they did model Doctor Who for the module nature of the show.
