Luke, every year you make the same claim and every year I want to scream at you: TIE Fighter is superior to Dark Forces in every way. I will argue this until the day I die.

Started this last night and it’s all I can think about now.  Time is crawling by while I wait to get out of work and get back into it.  I should have taken the day off...

It’s refreshing to see a game that emphasizes single player story focused gameplay. They’re not exactly crazy rare but feel more special than they used to.

I’m so sick of hearing about the police murdering compliant people in total absence of wrongdoing. I’m even sicker of the fact that they get away with it.

Hell, we had a player in our D&D party who did shit like this all the fucking time. I can’t tell you how many times we’d be sneaking through a dungeon or witnessing some fresh horror from a distance and he’d fuck us.

I remain thoroughly impressed and more than a little baffled that Blizzard, despite all of their talent, their many years of creating and operating online games, and their tons of money (the Blizzard economy outstrips several whole nations) was not able to anticipate that a fully-PvP, team-based, first-person shooter…

Developers can only do so much. The internet is filling up with more and more assholes. You try to call them out on it and they just respond with “don’t get so offended” or “PC police” or say you’re “close minded” or “intolerant” because you tell them to shut the fuck up.

I was always surprised at the hate.

Off topic: I loved Battlestar Galactica’s ending.

That’s the key right there. When talk like this pops up I almost feel like people are either playing a different game or just playing it wrong. Me and my buddy play competitive just so we can get good matches to play in with people who are about as good as us. There our games could go either way and they are almost…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, remove SR altogether - or at least don’t make it visible until the end of the season. People are so obsessed with that little number beside their name that they entirely miss the point of having a rating system in the first place. Ranked matchmaking exists to facilitate fair…

What made Toonami great? This hammy guy narrating Gundam Wing like a poorly-made History Channel epic.

I was completely, inarguably awful in the early ‘90s. It is my hope that I have become a little less awful in the intervening years, but there’s lots of room for improvement. Of course, I’m not insulting total strangers over the Internet nowadays, so I have that going for me.

Despite what MRAs think, I don’t hate men. I really don’t. I know many good, smart, kind men and I know there are millions more out there like them. I have a father I respect, a male partner I adore, men friends who mean the world to me. But when I read threads like this, I have to actively remind myself not to hate…

We should stop them from having children too. It's probably for the best since the extra cost will probably just send them over the edge and they can barely make it now. If they're struggling to make ends meet month to month, they have no business having children. Right?

Peter Gabriel. Represent.

Because Tie Fighter was pretty much perfect. It was everything a space shooter ever needed to be. And still is.

Just label that folder "research materials."
