THis 100x. It was one of the best matches of the World Cup - an astonishingly level of talent and skill on both sides, won by a team which is becoming a scary reflection of 98’s defensively transcendent squad. Lokaku wasn’t on his game, but neither could Giroud get his shots on target. Difference though? Everyone on…

Well - Gilliams wasn’t funny as a Python because he was just the animator. That being said, he was an integral part of their entire aesthetic + especially their counterculturalism. I think having a yank in the squad, and one who was so iconoclastic, significantly pushed them into uncomfortable political territories.

“one of my favorite games.” (Temple of Apshai tops the list! followed by Riven.) and for your second query, quite a few. Heavy Rain was and is revelatory - but I know I’m in the minority. I feel like Cage games get bashed for their pretenstions/ambitions, because they don’t always hit. But, man, when they do...there’s…

I’m here before someone says something disparaging about one of my favorite games of all-time - which still holds up - just to troll me.

Lest you forget Cleveland a few years back, which was truly transcendent.

I’ve come back to this story several times this week - just to see this comment. It always makes me laugh. Every. damn. time.

No. Engage with anything that challenges you or become Facebook. In between that, though, entertain your @#($& self.

I collect the World Cup games because they’ve done such a great job capturing the look and feel of each tournament, I’ve always loved how playing the old games brings back the feel of each tournament.

In fact, I’d say it’s unplayable on console, but I know people who tried.

No disprespect meant, but seriously, being the bad ass DK/Pac-man player that both he is, and both was on paper, is like the coolest thing ever to this 44-year-old.

I’ve never really understood this - but, quick question - what is the best setting now? The HD or the old-school?

Somedays, it’s so hard to hate the Democrats.

While I acknowledge your original premise, I don’t believe it’s tenable. I think that our pesky biology seems committed to capitalism and consumerism as our evolutionary model, and I don’t see anyway we’re going to escape or overthrow those biological imperatives BEFORE the planet is not habitable for humans.

+1 for funny post and because...holy fuck are the Pixies amazing pre-now.

Thank you for this obscure and beautiful reference.

I’d give SotA more time. The old-school community is there.

So...I think the protest is rhetorically pointless, I applaud the chef for his commitment to ethically using all parts of an animal, but...foie gras, can’t really BE made ethically as far as I know. Not a fan of it, and happy it got banned in CA.

hear, hear. best friend is the same, and he never makes a fuss about anything. his deal. However, going to a restaurant with him and listening to his order takes more time than reading a Walter Scott novel backwards.
