Probably sounds like weird choices but the OG Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. I forged lifelong friendships with people across the country and I had only just started gaming online at that point. It’s by far more important to me than any heartfelt story or likable character. I would have never met these people if it…

I actually posted a little (and incomplete) collection of the wedge concepts and production cars of the late 60s/early 70s over on imgur on Friday:

Cybertruck (the name is worse than the looks, people, what is this 1998?)

AWD helps you go.  Snow tires help you turn and stop.

It’s late February in Minnesota, -20 degrees outside. Flying to Vegas with some friends out of a small airport on a very small airplane. One of the friends I’m with hates flying.

Flying to Phoenix on SW. Plane was touching down, back wheels hit the runway then all of a sudden you hear and feel the engines go full throttle and we’re climbing steeply, then we roll right hard. Angles that passenger planes never do normally. 

Man as a younger guy with better than 20/20 vision, I am almost the total opposite of this. I agree on the brightness (I rarely get to the “barely visible” point). But subtitles are too distracting for me (I feel like my eyes focus more on them than what’s happening on screen), I love a minimalist HUD, and inverting Y…

One of these. It’s literally bigger than many houses.

As of last week, it is to kick the Good News Club, an extreme Christian fundamentalist group, out of my child’s public elementary school. My efforts started with an email to the principal on Friday, and a lengthy phone discussion today. Her hands are tied though, as if you allow one outside group into your school (a…

I do little things like blow out candles or turn off lights if I can.  I flushed every single toilet in Prey. I don’t know why.

If I’m ever confronted with two paths in a game, I always go left. It’s not really a strange ritual, but a ritual nonetheless. 

Waaaaaay back when the original NES Legend of Zelda game came out, it asked you to put a name on your save file. Middle-school me thought it would be hilarious to do “Spam.”

Shoulda read the label more carefully.

I was a fat little kid so I wanted to eat the giant food.

“CP” is also Champion Points in Elder Scrolls Online. Made by an American company. Honestly, until I saw this thread, I’d never thought to connect “CP” to “child pornography”.  I honestly can’t imagine someone hearing a person say “CP” in public and think “omg, criminals! get them!”

These should be way more than once a week.  between the “expert” suggestions and comments, it’s one of the most entertaining posts of the week!

It wasn’t literally my first time, but this happened within the first 3 months I was driving.

My parents were buying a Ford Explorer in the early nineties. I was somewhere around six years old. Our car salesman at the local Ford lot was a young guy and hadn’t been there terribly long. It seemed as if he was shooting for the “cool salesman” persona. He came up to the green Explorer my parents had picked out in…

I cant give the first time that I drove as a terrifying experience because my parents let me sit on their laps and steer since I was 7-8 (private roads FTW). But I can tell you one of the first times I was terrified behind the wheel. It was back in 2006, when I first got my 2004 Mach 1 Mustang.

Time to reminisce.
