    I'm just going to point out that "extremists" are by definition not that common.

    Amusingly enough, broken down, the pay in Five Nights is actually substantially less than minimum wage. So I'm guessing (if you really want a "reason" why you're there) that the main character is exceptionally desperate.

    I'd just like to point out, that knowing something is going to happen absolutely does not mean it will have no effect. Horror can be roughly broken into two different things: Panic, and Dread. Panic is when something happens that surprises you and you react; seen archetypally but by no means limited to the…

    Ikana might have been the darkest in atmosphere, but I don't know, replacing the kid's dead dad in Snowhead has always seemed much darker to me. Dammit, who's cutting onions in here?

    Playing Ocarina of Time before Majora's Mask is still probably a good idea, so you can actually understand all of what is going on.

    Thanks for reminding me that I need to break that out again. It was really cool, I just didn't have time to play it anymore.

    I would wonder just how many more horrible things could be encapsulated in one story, but I'm afraid there'd be an answer...

    How much cocaine were they on when the script for this one came through? Just... wow.....

    I definitely understand the budgetary pressure. One of my cousins is a Science teacher for the "remedial" classes at a middle school (AKA the students they've pulled out of general population for being too disruptive) and she has the most horrifying stories about how little she has to work with. Right down to having…

    If you're gonna be like that, only one of them has helped put a sun dial on Mars.

    He makes it pretty clear that he's not doing it because he feels his degree qualifies him to do so. In fact, if you talk to him about it (which happened when he spoke at my university), he's very up front about being primarily an entertainer. The thing is, he feels that it's necessary for someone to be making a…

    It's not a competition; they're both awesome.

    I just want to make sure that you know how awesome you are for getting kids excited about science. My middle school science teachers were pretty much the only bright spot in a pretty troubled time for me, so just know that you can make a difference even if you don't know that you are.

    Bill Nye spoke at my university a couple years ago. It was amazing.

    If there's one person (outside of my parents) that changed my life, it's Bill Nye. He's why I got into science as a kid, and that's a huge part of why I got a degree in the sciences. I'm so excited to see him doing shows again, it's not even funny. …

    It's possible that it has some reinforcement underneath the fabric like wires or ropes.

    The kind one might see on, say, a Lumberjack?

    It's one of those "How much money do you bother to bend over and pick up off the sidewalk" things. For some people, it's a quarter; others, it's $63,000.

    Why are you putting it as a solid "Yes, play it" if it's such an abusive experience? The write-up comes across as a definite "Maybe".
