Oh, jeez. A flashback to America’s Army. I forgot about it.

I think it was one of the late 90's NASCAR games that got me really excited about the idea of “compartmentalizing” health. Tires could overheat and blow out (with real-time temperature display of each tire!), your engine could go out, etc. No clue who bought me that thinking I’d enjoy it.

Mechwarrior.... 4, I think?…

Trubbish & Garbodor

What? I haven’t followed Pokemon since around the time of yellow, but those aren’t real, are they?

ETA: Wow. It’s a “Trash Bag” pokemon. Is there Trash Bag Gym?

Having someone very close to you die makes hoarding so much more understandable. I used to watch Hoarders and think “these people are incurably f’d in the head and need full-time care.” I still have sets of my wife’s pajamas hanging on the inside of bedroom closet door. It’s the last significant physical thing that…

It’s most like Diablo 2 but with micros for mentioned tabs and particle effects. The big thing with stash tabs is that you can name them and color-code them for an easier time selling. Selling is kind of clunky, though - almost everyone uses third-party http://poe.trade/. I’ve never bothered selling and only rarely…

“try patting her vagina” Basically good advice for all situations.

Oh, no, there aren’t many - but there are a few, which is pretty cool. Path of Exile’s purchase options are so unappealing to me, I just bought the currency and did nothing with it. It’s nice to see a confirmation they probably aren’t operating at a loss “selling” particle effects and stash tabs no normal human would…

Cool to see non-p2w f2p games doing so well

I quit worrying about cheating when I started using mods. As long as I’m being challenged, it’s fine.

Maaan. You gotta hide the reference. Being unabashed fans of Pope Bob, I was able to successfully lobby for Eris, but then we added an M at the front, and now we have a solid name and a hidden reference she’s free to share if she’d like (we typically don’t).

Keep your arguing tactics in mind. I started out insisting if…

We’ll see Xpoint next year, too! The number of storage options, architectures, physical dimensions, and interfaces is bananas.

Spinners in SATA, USB, Thunderbolt - SSDs in SATA, USB, Thunderbolt, PCI-E, M.2 - we got flash drives with good controllers acting more like real SSDs, and we have flash drives with dumber…

Looks like my wallet’s going to be empty again before Sunday :(

I’d imagine not swallowing food wouldn’t be too much of an issue for poison in proper dosage unless he’s thoroughly rinsing his mouth out after chewing and ensures no saliva goes down his throat.

To be fairer, fighting for a disinterested country without much interest in the wars other than to maintain posture with a bunch of soldiers dying because... that’s their job (the truce is a good example of how dispassionate and impersonal the killing was) — going from that to individuals choosing to be engaged and…

More importantly, “by 2016" does not mean “by 2017.”

Some day, I will hear this on FM radio, and the dumbest grin will appear on my face... ..... but I still won’t use terrestrial radio regularly because commercials. Take that, Man.

ETA: Thinking again, this genre would be a licensing nightmare.

Have games had many attractive anthropomorphized animals? I can think of Banjo, Spyro, Sonic characters.... none of which have attractive characters. Disney movies seem like the top “offender.”

(and Bubsy II for Genesis wasn’t that terrible)

Man, did you try yesterday after Winter sale kicked off? Even the downloading of games was slow... at one point, I was down to ~600-900kb/s. The deals are unreasonably great, especially on some of the older stuff with mountains of DLC, now. The Civ5 bundle is a steal to the point that I actually felt a little guilty…

Do they domesticate in any way? The concept of keeping an animal which’d near-immediately rip your limbs off if you went to pet it seems alien to me. I don’t imagine the process of putting a leather jacket on a gator to be a calm, Christmas-y affair, either.
