There is a whole subculture on Steam for trying to raise your “Steam Level”, which mostly comes from crafting badges with collections of cards. There are some people that are spending hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) to buy cards each month as more cards from more games become available. Even if the cards are…

Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatbox) are really what make Pentatonix so good IMO

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)

JJJJJOOOOIIIINNNN UUSSSSSSSS

I mean, the female January voice is a bit more distorted than the male voice, but in both cases the voice matches the correct gender.

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)

Nope, nothing to do with the other Prey game. In an interview with one of the heads of Arkane they said they had the idea for the game, went to Bethesda to pitch it, and Bethesda suggest (told) them to use the existing brand name even if it had little in common.

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?

No, I’m fairly sure it was last year when people voted for Cheetolini. People are just starting to understand it better this year.
