is that a screenshot from the game? this is how i remember it:

right, i mean compared to f-zero.

a heroin addict has a problem with heroin. a gun nut doesn’t have a problem; it’s everyone around them that’s got a problem.

i don’t think you’ve ever seen wipeout described as dark and hideous to look at, either. it’s been a long time, but the way i remember wipeout was that it had a messy, cyberpunk look to it, like gritty and industrial. none of that’s bad; the game looked great, but, compared to f-zero, i think dark and rough are…

there’s also one about the tea ceremony: when you start out learning the tea ceremony, a cup is a cup and tea is tea. when you’ve made some progress, the cup is no longer simply a cup and tea is no longer simply tea. then, when you’ve mastered the tea ceremony, a cup is a cup and tea is tea.

you’ve killed me. i’m dead.

i frankly think it’s awesome that he made a real fake.

maybe that was part of the joke. apparently he was pretty into the zen stuff:

i had the same feeling when umberto eco died. my first thought was he’s so young. turned out on closer inspection, he was 84. i guess he could’ve been any age and it would’ve felt too young.

“I feel like it’s just stupid, just a stupid charge that shouldn’t have to happen”

someone mentioned the french dub named piccolo little-hearted satan. maybe the hungarian translation based it off french. but where’s satan come into play with piccolo? i don’t remember him being particularly satanic...

that opening!

i always thought it was named after the king of hawaii.

yeah, i don’t really think newer controller designs have been any more comfortable, but i appreciate other people are different. but my point really was that, whatever you might say about the nes controller, you can’t say it isn’t dead obvious how to use the thing, how to hold it.

there’s this which i googled right quick:

i genuinely laughed out loud at the gore quote. we have to go far quickly, which means we need to go alone together, and, individually, go together, alone.

yeah, i’ve seen some really cool demos of haptic technology, but anything like that in consumer electronics seems far-fetched.
