Good lord - I once heard the energy explanation for introverts and extroverts, and was so impressed that someone had finally found the right words to describe it. Now I learn that that person was Carl Jung, and it’s actually the official definition of introverts and extroverts.

They had Street Fighter Zero + Alpha at a place I used to work, and I used to hate fighting Adon because he had a move - the jump and zoom-kick, whatever it’s called - that I couldn’t block or evade or defend against in any way, and people would just spam that at me. Tedious.

Man, I didn’t realise sabotaging yourself in-game just to troll other players was a thing. That explains a few things. One time in LOTRO I was in a group taking on above-level trolls with groups of orcs - we could handle a group and were leveling nicely. Even if we accidentally aggro’d two groups we could handle them.…

On "opposites attract", I think something needs to be similar, but what that is depends on the couple. Using my wife and I as an example, we disagree/d on a lot of things, but we both agreed on what constitutes a valid argument so we could discuss anything and everything until we could work together.

Is that canon? Because that's a very interesting take.

I never got that. "Bringing balance to the force"...but there's hundreds of Jedi and just two Sith, so wouldn't balance mean either more Sith or less Jedi? And as it turns out, it was two Jedi - Obi-wan and Yoda. So, balance achieved.

Only in the metaphorical sense.

But he might blow it up on a whim, if he hates it so much.

I guess you can say there were LGBT students at Hogwarts, but there weren't any in the books.

And some stoners have theorised that we're all just dreams dreamt by the living planet...

It doesn't really matter - people and other forces are always going to interfere in your life in some way, in many ways, all the time. Free will isn't the ability to control the universe, it's the ability to control your response to the universe. That's all that really matters.

Doesn't work. Once again, Amazon screws me.

ROTK sounds interesting. I used to have a lot of trouble finding turn-based strategy games, but it's probably a lot easier now with online services. Of course, now I have no time because kids...but oh well.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I'll have to try the liberation tactic, but I'm with you on war - I almost never declare it until the end game, where I can blow through them.

That game was fantastic. Moo.

On the other hand, it does make sense. They're "friendly" towards leaders that could crush them like a bug. But yeah, I don't like the fact that towards the end of the game I always get negative ratings from "they think you are a war-mongering menace to the world!" even when I haven't declared war on anyone for the…

I can't say I ever noticed this - then again, for most of the time nukes just never got dropped. In Civ I I only had nukes dropped on me a couple of times, and maybe I dropped them a couple more times. Only once was there all out nuclear war, which didn't end well even though I was declared the winner.

This was fantastic. I don't play GTA so I don't know why he could kill people and they couldn't kill him, but a nice freak out.

Right, instead they're only week to week occurrences...

Button mashing especially works when you take a character that your opponents never play. I was at an acquaintances house once, and they were playing a Tekken style game I'd never seen before on a console with unfamiliar controllers, and I picked one of the female characters and button mashed my way to annoying the…
