Still not much going on gaming-wise except for a few chapters of Uncharted 2 each day for about the past week. Loving this game in all of its (surprisingly well-written, well-acted and well-paced!) insanity, especially the pratfall-laden climbing segments which never fail to amuse and amaze. I just did some ridiculous…

What Have You Finished This Week?

Ah, sorry man! I was really in an overstressed and generally unhappy mental state for several weeks there, so jumping over here at some ridiculously early hour to post WHYFTW became a non-priority for me. I realize that some people do look out for it, sorry :(  Feel free to jump in and post your own WHYFTW thread if…

I decided to bail (at least temporarily) on the handful of games that I had started and then put on hold for, like 6 weeks or more because they weren’t actually fun. So now I am playing something which is actually pretty fun: Uncharted 2. It’s my first time ever playing it, and yes it has a lot of goofy action-movie…

I mean yeah but Gendry is seriously just some random dude from her perspective, right?

Maybe this has been covered elsewhere in the comments, but what in the hell possible reason could Dany have had for making Gendry the Lord of Storm’s End? (I mean, in terms of alleged “heroics” etc.— I can sort of understand that she’s trying to do some showy “lifting up the meek” type of crap and/or ensuring loyalty…

“I love you 3000" in Tony’s farewell message is what actually got the tears flowing for me, because that is how little kids actually talk and he picked up on it and loved it exactly in the way of a real parent and then he died and quoted that same innocent kind of love back to her in his final words to her. SOB!

That’s always been my motto!

Eh, just load up some GIFs from that GQ shoot, next best thing.

You know, I kind of feel bad for my earlier comment because, again, everything in this movie (which I definitely enjoyed!) was so fan-servicey that I didn’t need to call this bit out in particular... and because I ultimately liked it for the exact reasons you mention! I guess I had a bit of an eyeroll reaction to the…

I hear you-- that was sort of the point of my “everything else in the movie” comment.

It got pretty fucking loud in our theater too when Black Panther and company showed up. The moment when all the ladies suddenly appeared to help Captain Marvel do her part of the Magic Glove Relay also got quite a buzz from the group of 20-something gals behind us (I cracked a smile but it was a little gratuitous...…

Re: “people coming back and life returning to normal”, how’d you like the part where Hawkeye’s wife immediately called him on the cell after the snap, and the caller ID came up with her name and picture? Apparently her cell phone plan came back to life too?

Very cool. This is right up there with the version they did at Wagstaff School a couple of years back.

Interesting points. For me, yes I know that organic crops are not especially better for me the consumer (you wash any food before eating it, so residues etc. are presumably not much of an issue). It’s about the impact on the environment that went into making them.

I agree with your overall point, but your comment about the meaning of “organic” is misleading and/or wrong. Yes, “organic” has a specific definition in the life sciences (doesn’t it just mean “contains carbon in the atomic structure”?), but it also has a separate well-established definition under…

I haven’t played any Phoenix Wright (!) but I would probably be much better off playing these games on 3DS than on a PC (i.e. via Steam), right? Since they were designed for handheld/touch platforms, as I understand it?

This is cool, thanks. My son liked Pokémon a lot for a while there, so Sun & Moon (I think it was maybe the Sun version) was the first game I got for him on the 3DS... but he never got into the game and that was kind of the death of that console in our household. I agree that the Pokémon themselves seem really…

I loved Edith Finch, as I have made clear here, haha. The Lewis story is absolutely incredible— I mean, that is just one of my most memorable moments in gaming, period. As for the Milton story, I immediately recognized it as a callback to The Unfinished Swan, from Giant Sparrow (same dev) about a boy named Monroe who…
