I mean, these circumstances are the exact basis for a lot of fanfics.

Yeah, I won’t shy away from admitting that this article has me itching to play Rogue Leader again. I was never quite pro back then, but I loved flying the different ships around, including the Imperial transport, and screw around with cheat codes.

Raytheonis the name of a US Defense contractor, so yeah, that wouldn’t fly.

They also remind me of these little mini figures we used to have:

Tabula Rasa was a soap opera, a calamity in and of itself.  It’s like a quantum event of drama, there and now it’s gone.  But there was a whole lot of drama there.

Same. I enjoy GW2 as a kind of relax and craft kind of game, but it’s missing the spirit GW1 had.

I loved the original Guild Wars, played about every day, from day one, for seven years as a denial/control Me/Mo or Me/R. The announcement for GW2 came out and... well, it was the first time I was shocked by a game’s planned release date, from a time scale sense.

I mean, there ARE people who are huge nerds for local TV off-air recordings. I have nostalgia for my local PBS and other affiliates, but then there’s people like Peter Partridge, who runs the site Platypus Comix:

Best not wait too long, the thought of them rotting terrifies me. :)
Seriously, tho, there are LD collectors out there. Used to work a thrift store, once got a huge LD shipment in, it was gone within the first hour of putting them out.

Zelda II is one of my favorites, I always had a soft spot for these action RPG platformers featuring sword guys, but they’re kind of... rare.
One I’ve enjoyed is Faxanadu, created by Hal but based on a game by Nihon-Falcom. It’s a wonderfully long game, that places less emphasis on sword mastery and more on…

I’ve never played one past the PS2 ones, but I found the Iris and Mana Khemia series to be great time sinks. I’ve actually beat 2 and Mana Khemia, and while they’re nothing to write home about, I enjoyed them and their awesome music none-the-less.
Iris also has one of my favorite fourth wall breaking scenes, but yeah.
I’…

TBF, working retail, I knew this was exactly where this was going.  No, sticker swapping won’t get you a cheaper shopping trip, it’ll just annoy the employees...

We’re gamers, but they’re marketing. Money is their motive, and it’s not Epic’s fault that their lower price at entry is good for the developer’s bottom end. In fact, it’s a boon. A blessing in disguise. I’m personally thrilled for the Epic Store exclusivity, as while the launcher isn’t perfect, Valve has been resting…

Developer side, make it so Steam takes less of a cut? That’s one of the few reasons a dev would want to publish on Epic’s storefront, anyway.

Hey, tried these last night, with a new Luix I just got. Followed the recipe exactly, 2 tsps salt, water to cover, 90 minutes, ice water to cool, but mine seem to have come out a little undercooked They smell vaguely of rotten eggs, and while the white has turned brown, it doesn’t seem like they have shrunk or the…

Those Botbots remind me of those old McDonald’s transforming food toys I had when I was a kid.  I’ll admit, I’m well beyond the intended demographic, but I might bug my SO to let me pull a pack.  Or five.  I love it.

Methinks he means Early Access, not Origin.

Just saying Hades is totally worth it. I’m having so much fun with it, even if it’s a little repetitive.  Think of a fast paced Diablo clone with some great writing, and that’s pretty much it.  But it’s been fun so far.

I waited the longest to join the battle. Or it certainly feels like it after all this hype.
