Ugh, I was hoping they would jump on the “return to form” bandwagon and ditch the Company of Heroes concept for a more traditional RTS. The original Dawn of War was all about first creating a meat grinder to defend yourself and then figuring out a way around it. I liked that a lot, it was very much in-tune with…

Wow. Flashback. Mid-to-late 90's, say ‘96 or ‘97. Only one computer in the house, used by the whole family, in a common room. One of the rare instances when I’m home alone, but for how long, I don’t know. Sitting nervously at the computer, listening alertly for the sounds of returning family members, as a screenshot…

Back in my day, it was all about hiding the Playboys and Hustler magazines behind the shelves. We had a kid in the neighborhood that would trade old issues from his father’s magazine subscriptions for baseball cards and comic books.

for real, though, we all have our methods of dealing with anger (especially when nobody else is around), and I figure if I can use it to amuse and/or relate to other people, it’s worth doing. I recognize that anger at little things (for instance, tough parts of games) is often ridiculous, so why not have a laugh at my…

My mom threw away original TinTin drawings. My father’s aunt and uncle were good friends with Hergé. They had a tailor shop and he always came by for a tailored costume. Somehow drawings ended up in their posession  and one time my mom threw them away while cleaning their house.... sigh.

OR...the mother could have called the son, saying pick up your stuff or I’m selling it.

She also gave away all my marvel action figures and other toys... some of which I had bought myself with money I had saved from what little I got for allowance... sniff ;.(

My mom threw our famicom into the trash when we moved to another apartment... I was 9 and it still stings....

I feel a bit sorry for the mother, sounds like she was just trying to clean up her place.

I’m sorry did you say “eat” o_O

Oh my god, I would have murdered you. XD I’m so glad my sister was six years younger than me and my Dad was my gaming wingman, so he guarded the NES from her. I didn’t start dealing with little sister related issues until the mid 90s. She did eat all my comic books, though.

Ugh I had the perfect Diablo 3 getup for this 3 days ago. Now you have to deal with this.

We may want to wait for official details before we grab our pitchforks and torches.

“Came for the thighs, stayed for the cries” or “Robot butts and depressive ruts” would make great box quotes.

I’m sure we have all, at least once, rushed into our homes, cheeks clenched, trying to prevent our Lobsterfest dinner from bursting out. When that happens, we all wish the toilet was just a bit closer to the front door. This apartment is perfect for those occasions.

That’s not just a toilet, that’s a multi-purpose chair. 😬

My grandfather was a marine during WW2, and till the day he died he had nothing but praise for the M1 Garand, and he would talk about how it saved his life thanks to how reliable it was.

However, he said the ping was a huge downside. The enemy figured out the sound meant you had used your last bullet, so it could be a…
