My copy of hybrid Visual Novel/RPG Yumina the Ethereal arrived in the mail. I just installed it and started playing today. I like the important information contained in the game manual, including this warning:

The funny this is that many sharks are Viviparous, or give live birth the way mammals do. Some sharks only have one or two pups per pregnancy cycle.

Those games perfectly emulated the look of a Looney Tunes short, a pretty good achievement for the time. See also the 1990s Beavis and Butthead game for Sega that looked just like the cartoon but played like ass.

Most gamers seem waaaaay too interested in zooming in on screenshots and counting pixels to determine if the graphics in a new game are up to snuff.

See: Noam Chomsky.

He gets embarrassed out of Ronin, which counts as survival I guess.

Another arcade machine that took this concept even further was Dragon's Lair. That game really was just rote memorization of all the correct ways to respond to the triggers, with animation by Don Bluth showing the grisly demise of your character every time you got it wrong.

Anyone a fan of the "California Roll" imitation sushi? I guess if you are an avocado fan, then yea. But if I am going to a sushi place I would like some, you know, real fish for my money.

So, when are the dragons going to arrive in Westros now?

Was that a pint bottle, or a 5th? I hope it was a pint bottle.

I am in no way defending Mr O'Reily here, but does anyone else find it really weird how journalism nowadays gauges "online reaction" to news by going to twitter, handpicking tweets, then publishing them with the article? It is a form of selection bias; you can sift through millions of tweets and construct any…

One thing I find baffling is how the tagline "NO PRESERVATIVES" became a positive selling point. Why would preserving your food be a bad thing? I don't know about anyone else, but I would prefer my food be preserved from dangerous microbes.

I have been replaying the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. I finished Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky, so now I am playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat with the Misery Mod to spice things up. This is my first time playing Misery, and already I can tell that this is going to be a punishing, grueling play through. Have any…

Was there anyone besides me who read the headline and thought Netflix would be releasing their own version of G-PG-PG-13-R movie rating system?

In anime the characters are designed to do human things with accuracy, like play musical instruments, for example. can you imagine this scene here with the girls playing the guitars with only three fingers and a thumb? It would be beyond strange.

There actually is a mutation responsible for six fingered hands that occurs in about 1 in 500 births. In most cases there is normal function of the hands, but for social reasons the offending digit is removed. Some genetic disorders are actually dominant rather than recessive.

And don't forget folks, the Power Rangers movie wasn't designed to be a single movie, it was designed to be the first film in a six film franchise! Enjoy the new Power Rangers cinematic universe for the next five years!

It's a meme:

MFW Americans call Malted Barleywine, "beer".

Andrew Johnson as well. A president that spent much of his tenure Vetoing congressional bills, firing cabinet officials, opposing federal rights to freedmen, and getting his own party to impeach him.
