As someone who played the first Gears of War but no later ones, and had to google Digger, I now desperately need to play a game where I fire a Digger directly into someone’s chest.

I have not watched his videos, but I can’t imagine Fallout 3 being harder than Dead Money! Unless he’s considering Point Lookout, where cultists and mutated rednecks get armor-skipping damage bonuses.

Not to mention that with 80 Melee and Sneak, you can get the Ninja perk, which increases your Melee sneak attack damage by 25%.

I had no idea Stealth Boys were affected by perks like a Chem! Good to know!

Yeah, I was kind of surprised that his Melee was still just 13, considering you can do stealthy kills very easily with Melee.

One question: Why did MATN level up Medicine to 100 if he was never going to use healing items? Was it simply to increase the effect of Rad-X (which he only used 17 times)?

What’s that from? My google fu is not working, and it’s an intriguing line...

The World Map being a table you visit to plan your continent-spanning Inquisition activities was cool, except for one thing: It took so long to get there! You fast travel to Skyhold, run up a staircase, run down the throne room, take a left through a door, run through a hallway past Josephine, reach another door, sit…

Oompa

I’m reminded of the recent episode of Louie when Louie meets a hack comedian who tries to get him to loosen up on trying to be a “good” comic and just go for the cheapest, easiest joke that will appeal to the drunkest, least discerning customers.

And I recall her saying that even though she loves mozzarella sticks more than any other food, the TGIF mozzarella sticks were the flavor and consistency of oil-soaked cardboard.

I don’t think he’s overlooking it; I think he states repeatedly that many things in the movie that would be good fodder for satire winds up being played mawkishly straight.

Evolutionary biology can be used (or rather misused) to explain any behavior. (For instance, maybe men’s bodies are attracted to pregnant women because they have shown they are fertile and can healthily carry a baby to term?) But I think it’s a good bet that many men are into pregnant women for exactly the same…

I think I just saw someone wearing these! Should have asked if she read Jezebel.

Hear, hear! High heel expectations seem like a slightly dialed back version of foot binding. I feel like the idea of “Wear this shoe, it will make your calves look better but it will be harder to walk and you will definitely be eaten by a pursuing dinosaur” is a non-starter.

There was a great bit in the X-Files in one episode when there was a TV show being made from Mulder and Scully’s adventures, and the actress who was playing TV-Scully (Tea Leoni, David Duchovny’s actual wife at the time) asked Scully to show her how to run in heels. So for a whole scene Mulder spoke to someone in the…

She works there. It’s her office! She’s not walking around the theme park and waiting in line.

I am going to hope that’s body painting and not a tattoo. Though wI’m not judging; I used to draw comic book sound effects on my girlfriend’s buttocks for her burlesque act.

The ingenious part is that the answer to the puzzle is playing nonstop the entire time you’re in the level. You have to activate the items (which each have a different musical tone) in the right order to play the tune of the Tranquility Lane environmental music, which is ALSO a tune that Betty/Braun whistles as she…

But you DID kill them, in real life. :) Fucking Tranquility Lane!!!
