I think you might be right.  I was viewing it on my phone and didn’t really look that closely.  That is pretty clever.

They did shoot in a real mall. Northland Village in Calgary, Alberta; the mall was closed for a refurbishment at the time. Stuff was added (like the carousel and Victoria’s Secret) and I think the second floor is digital. I applied for a job at the Best Buy you can see in the background several years ago, lol.

I have PTSD from working at Pathmark in the ‘90s, the flooring was the least of their problems, it’s no wonder to me that they’re gone now.

I have always believed it’s to make you less aware of any cart defects like bum wheels and whatnot until you have it loaded sufficiently that you wont bother going back to find a good working one.  Walmart has the same setup at their entrances.

Because people have been trained by both movies and other video games that it’s okay to enact brutal violence on people so long as said character is likeable. I mean that is a large part of video games in general. The character, and by extension the player, are morally in the right. Therefore it’s okay because I am…

I worked with my brother in the kitchen of his small pub restaurant for a short time, just to help him out during a staff shortage. I would say the only habits I came away with was the concept of mis-en-place, and having a garbage bowl next to the chopping board. I find just those two things makes life so much easier…

Definitely.

Which while simple on paper, is pretty damn brilliant of a move. Sure you can empathize with Joel. He has very real emotions and motivations, but Joel is also a mass murderer. That’s what some people can’t seem to wrap to wrap their heads around. Joel is both the protagonist and the villain of the first game.

Joel wasn’t a hero. That’s what people couldn’t seem to grasp and when he was killed, they lost their minds.

Worth mentioning, Ashley Johnson will also be in that episode.

The thing with “VR has been around since the 90s” is that, aside from the technology back then being FAR too primitive to do justice to the concept (bulky, low-refresh rate CRTs and laggy tracking do not make for good VR), what was available in the 90s was only available in arcades. Just as videogames were a niche…

It’s not ignorant. Couple months ago I was working on a re-play and stopped after the 4th divine beast. By that time I was decently kitted out and while I had “better” weapons, the durability was still a massive issue. This is also, by the way, long after “a dozen hours or so.” One of the kickers for me was fighting…

We’re usually higher than that but that’s because my friend likes to get the expensive plates with big portions like Fra Diavolo so she gets at least one more meal out of it. 

That might be it. My friend and I used to go to take each other to Red Lobster for our birthdays back when we couldn’t afford to eat at the nice places. Now that we can afford the good places the bill is usually about $140-50ish, and I tip like 30% because the service is always awesome.

Concurrently, I was writing something to this effect. Agreed.

I can toast some bread for breakfast, but I ain’t opening up a restaurant.

Kathleen, she gives off an attitude of almost naive innocence, which clashes so intensely with the ruthlessness of her actions.

Most everyone, I even think including the driver he eliminated, knew it was a beyond-badass move.

There is no rule that says a golden retriever can’t drive a Car in Nascar
