These are amazing. 

I’m deaf in one ear, so half the time I don’t even listen to the music in a game. Sad but true. Sounds like I’ll need to run something over most of this. 

If this is true, that man needs Jesus. And by Jesus, I mean “discipline, boundaries, respect for other people, and probably a beating or two.”

This is a great article. Thanks!

My friend, that was just the stuff I could talk about. My mom made a lot of mistakes, but she and I were very lucky in that some bad circumstances recently let us talk about all of that in a very frank way and she did the one thing in the world that she had never done before and has never done since, which is

I’ll counter the other narratives with one of my own. My mom and I would go to the mall a lot and as I hated shopping, she would let me go to the arcade. I never had any problems with the owners or teenagers (maybe because it was in a mall). This was back when Joust was hot. And Dragon’s Lair. And Donkey Kong. So

This young man is gold.

Are you able to pair a wireless controller to these? Like others, I worry about wearing down the native controls.

Yeah, that’s exactly it for me. It’s an interesting read but these guys were incestual in their love of that hobby. They made things, shared things, undoubtedly stole from each other. It’s never a problem until someone commercializes it or starts cutting folks out. As of now, it’s just an “alternative timeline” I put

I think about Gygax when I’m playing DnD about as much as I think of Ray Kroc when I’m eating at McDonalds. 

I’m honestly surprised by all the Sartre picks. The dude was like a bug eyed, sexist, Rapunzel locked away in his ivory tower of intellectual superiority. Camus, on the other hand, was from the streets. Brother got his hands dirty. In my mind, they get into the ring, Sartre takes his cape off and looks like one of the

Sorry, as soon as I read “eye” all I could think of were Sartre’s eyes and now I’m giggling too much to concentrate on this epic psychic clash.

If Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus were telepathic mutants battling on the astral plane, who do you have your money on? 

Skating and fecalphelia. Hope you guys bought stock early! 

I like it. 

My whole “young person love thing” is a giant pit of mistakes, good behavior, bad behavior, regrets, heartache, confusion, and pain. My wife and I talk about it (we were in the same circles at the same high school, but never dated back then because of reasons) and we realized without all that crap we would never have

I just read a gamer related article and didn’t immediately kick in my trash can. Ice-Cube was right. Today was indeed a good day. 

You shot him in the arm, didn’t you? lol

The Division again. Sigh. “It’s like, man, sometimes I wonder if the aliens I kill in Destiny are really evil, man? Maybe, they’re just like, I don’t know, hungry and confused?”

There’s kind of an off tone here. The premise seems to be that maybe people only liked Borderlands because they were immature and young and now they are old and seasoned and won’t? I guess that works if you assume that the player was X age (maybe your age?) when they first started playing but now they have “been to a
