And then you'll be arrested. Which will lead to MORE pictures being taken of you.

A Complete Life in Hell would look awesome on my shelf right next to the Complete Calvin & Hobbes.

Yeah, I just wish I had any interest in the three tracks they released. :(

Received: Atari VCS, Christmas 1977. Been hooked ever since. We had a dedicated Pong system before that, but I don't remember it arriving.

As was mentioned up above, how many "journalists" in that room have written on the Cosby allegations in the last few months? How many of them had writtten on it in the last few decades. Fienberg in particular. You wanna be a dick like that, you better be able to show that you're not in exactly the same boat.

Well, somebody's gotta be wrong, so thanks Sekhmet, for taking on that burden as your own.

This week is more of the same from last week.

Lately?

I'm going to spend serious time with iRacing an online racing simulator that I've been paying for for a while now and which I've not raced enough to get myself out of the rookie ranks.

FWIW, the free version on Origin was just the base version without any DLC. If you bought the Ultimate Edition on Steam, you got all the extra stuff (some of which is very fun) likely for much less than what Origin wants for one DLC pack. (I paid $7.50 for Ultimate Edition.)

Yes, I own it and also Elite: Dangerous.

I hate it because it STILL sucks in one major way. Why can I not buy a game on Origin and gift it to a friend EA? YOU'D make ALL the money that way. Instead I've got to go elsewhere.

I'm similar. While I can amuse myself here and there for a while in something like GTA, I've found that I prefer to have some structure and guidance in my games. I'll play the hell outta something like Minecraft or The Sims for a short period and then get bored because there's not really a goal, per se.

The fanboys on their forums keep meeting these observations with "Just wait 'til you see what they're gonna do in the future." and "Look at Eve Online, it was weak when it was released, but it's great now."

I sent them my $350 and they sent me a Rift. :)

Yeah, I've spent some time there too. Unfortunately, I'm finding that some of the games I want most to play have copy protection that involves the manuals and don't have the lookup answers available. (Though thankfully some do.) I find it amusing that it was never an issue back in my pirating days on the Atari…

My game playing this weekend will likely mostly consist of puttering around in a game that currently holds little more than puttering around: Elite: Dangerous I bought into it a while back, before the official release, but finally just got around to getting it installed a few days ago. I'm … eh. I dunno. It's a…

Yeah, I get the fucking expensive digital cable package specifically for Discovery Science. Recently though, it's feast or famine. I'm happy when it's basically the "24 hour a day How It's Made" channel (despite not knowing exactly how sciencey it is to learn how snowblowers are made), but there's been a lot of "UFO…

I learned it from the movie Young Guns!
