candy land at #4 is a travesty. it’s not even a game, the winner is determined the moment the cards are shuffled. there are no decisions to be made. there are no gameplay elements. there is zero skill involved. you draw cards, and someone wins, based on the order you are drawing cards.

I found a report of game ending HBP from an old article

agreed, Wasteland was my favorite too. the slight slope made it interesting without totally jacking everything up. The slight variations are what make for good fields. The major deviations like starbase and tokyo are bad.

The Uplander exists in my mind for one single memory. I worked at a GM dealer in the mid-2000s and there was a new one of these an employee was driving for a few days. The engine failed within a few hundred miles. Literally this was a brand new vehicle with brand new everything and the engine destroyed itself before…

I never bothered to make an avclub account so on one hand, its nice i can post on avclub articles now. on the other hand, the kinja comment system is effectively unusable. comments were 95% of my interest on any given article, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to follow those kinds of discussions here. so I’m…

I’ve seen one on the road here a few times. the whole right side is caved in. I don’t know if it’s one of the original cars wrecked for a movie or just someone’s piece of shit beetle.

that car in the header looks like a Crash Test Dummies toy car where the wheels and everything else pops off neatly when you wreck it

well that’s fucking dumb. half the fun of playing Jason was having some dipshit Tommy accidentally shoot the counselor you just grabbed in a misguided effort to save them.

The first time I played Half Life I got bored during the opening tram ride and jumped out. No idea how I did that. I had to start over.

right?! as is everyone is hostage to the whims of the host or his shit ISP

I didn’t catch any of that but just yesterday I made the decision to put the game down until they resolve the worst issues, namely the game ending over connection issues and not getting credit for anything. I’d say 2/3 of my games end because 1. the host gets killed early and rage quits 2. generic connection failure.…

It’s only wrong if you have to be deceptive about something (actually deceptive, not just exaggerating for negotiation purposes). Even then it’s still a seller’s responsibility to know what they’re doing. And they still hold all the power- they get to decide if a deal is acceptable or not. There’s little excuse…

blue velvet

it’ll be on craigslist tomorrow: “ran when parked”

you have no reason not to. you totally should.

that last one looked like the stiffest baseball swing I’ve ever seen. how did he get any power behind that

The famicom version of Rad Racer, Highway Star, does use the active 3d glasses and it works really well. The USA version got the nerfed red/blue 3d that’s pretty awful.

New Vegas the game is amazing. New Vegas the city within the game is pretty underwhelming for what it should have been.

because as soon as anyone bothers to check for key requests to the home office, they’re going to find a very obvious trail back to someone very dumb. this isn’t some random db, it’s a franchise dealership requesting a key code through their internal systems.
