I think the GOP thought of the Bush Jr years as the last big grab for them and their big money funders. Now that Trump is in, they are all suckling from the teat as hard as they can. They’re going to detox in the morning, may as well guzzle the fifths and snort all the rails before then.

Don’t most games have a day-one upgrade now? Do the copies companies send you a week or two early already have those updates? That would be wise of them, at the very least.

You might be a troll, but fuck if I don’t agree with what you’re saying, and had actually never thought about it before.

Oh, I’ve been through the wars on this topic through the last 2 and a half decades. It was my favorite book for a very long time.

Thank you. This is a fascinating read for a Gen-Xer whose hangout was an arcade. The drama is the same, but the online aspect of your experience adds a whole ‘nother POV. I don’t know how anyone grew up sane with constant connectivity. I would have flamed out in a heartbeat.

The Long Walk? Garrity died. I thought that was pretty clear. Of course I’ve been re-reading it since the late 70s, so maybe it only became obvious after multiple reads?

The comment, “Good thing that sea lion broke her fall.” kills me every time.

Okay, that was seriously strange; that map you posted is my map. I thought (for a second, but still) that LifeHacker was tracking my location.

I got Wine Away free in an Amazon order (speakers). Unfortunately I only spill red wine on electronics and our white-spotted cat. And only after I received the Wine Away. Thanks, Amazon!

Thank you! That’s an incredible helpful answer, and I may enjoy 3 more than I would the other 2. “Edgy Zelda” and “Diablo Edgy Zelda” don’t really float my boat from an elevator pitch standpoint, but a Dark Souls-lite sounds pretty okay right now (and for free).

Witcher 3, Stardew Valley, Skyrim, and literally any licensed sports game after the SNES era are my worst offenders for failure to launch.

Damn, really? I think + is one of the best deals around. I do play a lot of Overwatch though, and buy a lot of sale games, so that may skew my perception.

Origins was good. It wasn’t City or Asylum good, but what the fuck is, really? That game gets a bad rap for being not as overwhelmingly awesome as its predecessors. Fuck that noise.

Did you play Darksiders 3? Not a condemnation, merely a question. I haven’t played any of them and was excited to see this. Am I going to be bitterly disappointed?

I... uh, actually haven’t bought Arkham Knight yet. I played the others and loved them, but just couldn’t pull the trigger, so.. thanks, Sony?

That was exactly my thought. Look at all that meaty suet dumped on top of those little pencil legs. He would be absolutely worthless in any kind of physical encounter.

I think the grayscale on his penis will get him before that.

I wouldn’t say “normal”, but I’m also not 100% against the idea.

This is weird. I’ve never thought of turtles as creepy, but this endless brigade of monsters has changed my mind. Fuck turtles. 

So it’s like my first college party with the kiddie pool full of Jungle Juice- so pretty and purple, with fruit floating in it. Like bobbing for apples in kool-aid. That’s all I remember from that party, and I don’t have the strength or time to read the 40 page police report to find out the actual details.
