Beautiful, achingly sincere, and poignantly written. Thank you so much for this, and best wishes to you and yours as you make your way in this life. Please keep writing.

You can follow all of the great advice below re: using semolina and frequently shaking the peel - eventually, you’ll get it, as I did after countless times when I tried to slip the pizza onto the baking steel only for all the toppings to fly off while the pizza stayed adhered to the peel. Or, if you want to make…

Are you dedicated to your cuisine or aren’t you? THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS TO DELICIOUSNESS

HELL YES

A big thank you to GB Burford for an insightful, interesting, and well-written article. Everything you said rings absolutely true with my 20+ years of FPS gaming. This article should be absolute required reading for any FPS designer - heck, for *any* game designer or producer, period. The game world would be richer…

Niiiice reference!

Ha, you rock!

I thought so, though it was largely the context that made them horrifying. For example, the exploding babies and pack necromorphs on their own were gross but not scary. However, finding them within a school and being confronted with how they were previously children who had been brutally killed and transformed really…

I am no game designer, but I just want to understand - why is it so hard to get an Aliens game right? I thought Aliens vs Predator 2 knocked it out of the park back in 2001. The aliens were inhumanly fast and vicious, the weapons felt right, and even had fun manning an exoskeleton. You went from creeping around,…

You just TK one of their limbs and hit their corpse with it - no stomping, no waste of ammo. Worked for me for distant corpses, which otherwise disappear with their loot if you accumulate too many bodies.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

No, thou superfool! That is the mighty Maestro, future incarnation of the hulk!

Totally with you. I so, so very badly want this to be an incredible game. I absolutely loved the Marines campaign in Aliens vs. Predator 2 and was amazed at how well it captured the Aliens universe feel. But the long development time is worrisome, as is the seemingly mildly praise from reviewers who have the seen the…

Ha - genius!

Great job - the gun looks fantastic, and the crafters clearly have a lot of skill. Too bad they had to choose a gun which, in the movie, was about as effective as throwing a pocketful of pennies. They could build huge spacecraft to travel the stars, but they couldn't figure out how to make a decent gun / ammunition…

Dude, you have to understand that, in the past, Chinese men in the U.S. were stereotyped as asexual weaklings (see Wikipedia article: [bit.ly] ). This perception persisted for some time. Bruce Lee, through his popularity and hyper masculinity, really helped to destroy that stereotype and, as the woman said, put "balls…

I recognize that box art from KC Munchkin!! I loved that little guy and even the annoying floating dots that moved around the maze. My first gaming machine was a Magnavox Odyssey 2 - truly a great console.
