I'm not one to normally recommend games, because it's certainly not like I work for any video game company and I don't get any personal benefit from other people buying games, but nevertheless I have to recommend Skyrim for the Switch. Now I know what you're saying: I already played Skyrim years ago when it came out, so why should I buy it again? But have you considered how much more immersive the experience would be with the motion controls of the switch? And that's without getting into the ability to easily take the game and play it on the go. You'll really notice how much care all those fine folks at Bethesda put into every nook and cranny when you are able to put in short sessions of play on the bus or during your lunch break at work. But I hear you say: isn't it kind of silly to play such a visually impressive game on so small of screen? Well if that's your worry, why not just get the new Skyrim VR experience? Remember that feeling of awe that you got the very first time that you played Skyrim? I can guarantee that you'll have the same experience times ten when playing Skyrim VR for the first time. It's worth buying a full VR system just for this one game, believe me. I never thought that any port could be so good as this one. The fine folks at Bethesda really outdid themselves. Now you may be saying that as utterly amazing as Skyrim is in each of its incarnations, that it will inevitably get stale over time. That's why I recommend also getting the special edition of Skyrim. The game has an integrated mod workshop system. For a low price you can get nearly endless amounts of new content. I think you'll really enjoy what we're planning to do with the Nexus in the future.

Had something like this happen to me once. Ran into someone in the grocery store who knew my name, where I worked, my basic personality, talked like we knew each other well, etc. Had no idea who the hell this was. Turns out it was the janitor at my place of work. That is, the only janitor who had worked in my section and who had worked there for at least two years while I was there. Felt like shit when I realized this.

What's more, the next avatar I plan to use in my rotation doesn't even have animal ears. Isn't even an anime girl in fact.

I'm glad that they never even attempted to make a sequel to Alpha Centauri.

Every time I see an ad for Ready Player One I think: what if that developer guy was replaced by Terry Davis and instead of the Oasis it was TempleOS.

Have to do a bunch of scheduling, and am running into major problems due to the fact that nobody else is working 10 hour days, so I can't do things too early or too late. When the fuck did I become the most responsible person in the room?

Got plenty of things planned for my admiƞ powers. But I have to sleep now, so I'll just do it tomorrow.

Of the first 5 my playtime is probably in the order of: 3, 2, 4, 5, 1 One is actually a pretty solid game, but two is basically one plus more features meaning that most of the time if I'm thinking about playing one I'll just play two. I hated four at first, but over time I've grown to like a lot of it. It's still not in the same league as 3 or 2 though, but pretty good. Say, at least as good as Age of Wonders 2. Five is the opposite; at first I really liked it, but over time various aspects of it annoyed me more and more and I realized that the things I liked about it were largely done better by 3. Maybe 5 is better than 4, but 4 is different enough from 3 that I'm more likely to come back to it.

You can get Heroes 1-5 on GoG for about 20 bucks right now, or 10 bucks if you stick to 1-4 without the Chronicles expansion, which isn't a bad way to go.

Batta's way of getting people interested in his work while encouraging them to just buy the fucking manga is to post it without dialogue. I guess you can see a couple of chapters with the dialogue and with expert voice acting here though:

For years I thought that the following title: was just random Engrish. Then today I realized that it's actually a reference to the original meaning of OK (i.e. "Oll Korrect") since Haken says "OK" quite a lot.

You make up the dialogue:

On a scale of filth to garbage how trash is this series? (Asking for a friend).

Thinking over what I said earlier about TSR's last days, and looking at both the current state of the game and all the gimmick moves that Wizards has pulled lately, and it seems plausible to me that they will be sold off within two or three years. The only thing that makes this not certain in my mind is that they are owned by the mega-giant Hasbro, so it's not like the whole company's going to go down, as essentially happened with TSR. But at the same time, if the division does become a liability it make sense for Hasbro to sell them off; it's not like they don't have plenty else that they can make profit off of. Anyway, supposing that they do get sold, who do you think is going to buy them? Blizzard would be the obvious choice (ushering in a D&D 6th edition which is literally just Warcraft), but I don't know if they even care enough to buy.

Man, Watamote season two took a weird turn:

A decade later, this still pisses me off:

Haven't bought Magic products in a few years, so I just found out that M25 was retailing at 10 bucks a pack. I'm laughing for real right now. EDIT: On looking on a few more sites I guess maybe the standard price is $8? I dunno. Still dumb.

I have a 2002 camry, and the only issue is that I had a can of dr pepper explode and now all the buttons are sticky and the CD player doesn't work.

Same thing happened with me and Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Thought there would be another sale inevitably, but instead they got replaced with the "enhanced editions" which are double the base price (and thus likely would never be cheaper even with a sale) so I just bit the bullet and bought them while I could. At least Bethesda still lets you buy Skyrim basic, even if they make it hard. Scumdog only gets their products to sell by making it impossible to sell the original.

Also in gaming news, I think that I must have just checked GoG in the middle of a botched announcement. Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island are currently being advertised, but there is no announcement like there usually is of such things, nor is there a forum thread. Even weirder, while Monkey Island 1 and 2 are in the games catalog along with Maniac Mansion, and you can apparently buy them, The Curse of Monkey Island doesn't seem to be despite being visible on the advertisement for the Monkey Island series and being listed in the title of the package deal. A shame too, since that's the only one I was thinking about buying (having Monkey Island 1 and 2 on Steam, and having Maniac Mansion via the easter egg in Day of the Tentacle).
