Huh. When I was a kid, I used to read the FFVII Prima guide like a novel. I used to love getting the strategy guide for a game - it felt like I was being let in on a secret extra layer of the world I was running around in.

What a bummer... but I guess I’ve just been using Wiki guides or guides on sites like IGN or Polygon or Eurogamer since, like, 2005. Feels like games are almost too complex for book format guides now anyway. Still nothing beats the nostalgia of playing through and old RPG with a book by your side. Though I always…

I honestly couldn’t tell you the political leanings of a single person I’ve come to know via Food Network. 

Man, I remember being hyped on this game and really liking it.

Then Gun came along and showed me how much better things could be.

Honestly, Gun was a lot more memorable to me than Red Dead Redemption was, probably simply because i experienced it first and it seemed like such a big step up from Red Dead Revolver.…

You’re no slouch yourself, Jason. ;)

What tickles me the most is the fact that, without a doubt, Secret Service members noticed it and chose not to say anything. 

Caps fan checking in. Can’t defend Wilson, that hit, or the frequency with which he’s delivered them. This is more than I thought it would be, I would have guessed 10. But if the league suspends others with the same intolerance and severity consistently for all head and from-behind hits, in the same pattern of…

Forsaken itself is absolutely fantastic, though.

I’m still paying off my most recent visit to Whole Foods … or as I like to call it, Whole Paycheck.

I hope they change it to the dedication to his grandma. Goes to show family is important.

It’s so good. Having a ton of fun again. 

Almost everyone has more money than time. Pouring hours into a game that you purchased, only to subsequently discover you don’t care for, is self-defeating in the extreme.  

I’m going to eat it tonight tbqh.

This is... this is amazing. Fire sauce salted popcorn sounds fantastic.

So in the past week Putin has appointed Steven Seagal as special ambassador to the US and Trump is now embroiled in a secret recordings controversy with Omarosa Manigault Newman.

I try to do the same but I always remember it because of 40 Year Old Virgin. “Just ask a lot of questions, because she doesn’t care what you have to say, at all.” Works equally well for men and women. 

The best advice I ever got about small talk was to think of it like tennis. When someone else makes a statement (serve), its up to you to respond and ask a question back (volley).  This will keep it going to keep both parties interested.  Don’t just tell a story, end it with “did you ever have something like that…

I’d throw in Matt Damon in The Departed. While he had played a bad guy in The Talented Mr. Ripley, by 2006 he was much more widely known for the heroic action star roles or Mr Nice Guy roles. And he played off both of those images in The Departed by being a terrible villain who went undercover as a heroic cop and a…

Whoops.

The most robust demo I’ve ever played, and probably the only demo to ever convinced me to 100% buy the final product:
