I also started to replay Bully once out of nostalgia for the great game. I couldn't do it either, for the same reasons.

Not so. I spent a lot of time hunting down… were they shrines?… and killing lizards. I killed a lot of lizards.

While I agree with the sentiment, I've always assumed that there is sort of a heirarchy of all the buttons, and based on the importance/prevalence of the task, they are assigned.

I was thinking the same, though he seems to know a lot about it. It doesn't seem that difficult to put in the button profile a condition by game title.

I have had dreams occasionally where I am still in school, but also my present age. It's an odd experience.

When I have Skyward Sword, I definitely want someone to go down on me…

I believe you picked that example for the motion of the boats? Because, for me, the first implied motion I picked up on was the giant waves. And they are going left-to-right…

Boss, for us straights, the puns are a bit much.

I also hate doors that open inwards at public restrooms. I always open them with the crook of my left pinkie, because, rightly or wrongly, I assume this is the part of my fingers that touches the least amount of my food/face/etc.

Ha, this is what I do. But I don't even keep an alternate. I don't think I've ever had more than one save file per game for anything on the last two generations of consoles.

Stop ramming these puns down our throats.

Effy's there to ease the transition.

Can you explain a bit more about how you feel you were the bad guy? As I remember it, you are trying to get out of a battleground where vicious gang members want to kill you. Sure, most of the self-defence is preemptive (if you are good at it), and many people aren't actively hunting you, but you have to take them out…

Are you the bad guy in Manhunt? I never felt like I was. I'm having trouble remembering the story arc in the sequel, but even in that I feel you were justified, at least until you get out into suburbia…

It has to be the right game, or maybe I'm not the right type of player.

Nice job on the bit about cosmic karma. I guess this is why in films like Aliens, the protagonists are always up against grotesque monsters. It's hard to elicit sympathy for them; they almost all seem mindless or animalistic. Movies that go against this type usually expect you to have different emotional ties, such as…

Fair point. I wonder what surface gravity is equal to in Donkey Kong?

I liked it. I learned that our universe isn't expected to have any rocky planets with g=8, and feel inspired to learn why. Good introduction to some big picture concepts, I agree.

So… are you saying that at some point in the past, Princess became famous at the expense of Bowser? Because what you describe Luigi doing results essentially in a situation we've all seen before, in many, many castles…

Just to add, for the next iteration of Fallout or Elder Scrolls, I am going to try following the main mission more. It was kind of weird showing up in NV and severely outgunning anyone thrown in my way.
