Wolf Hall, A Brief History of Seven Killings, The Big Burn, and The Scar are 4 of my favorite audio books.

any chance somebody could give the me the time code for when they prey spoilers end? i haven't gotten far enough in yet.

also:

this is what i'm seeing:

Sorry it's been a pain. I assume all fonts are rendering super bold for everyone as well?

Villeneuve is pretty good, and the trailer has some decent vibe, but everything looks too big and too important for our hero. like everything revolves around our main character who is there for something major, which undermines so much of the power of the original. i hope they manage to keep the super kinetic action to a minimum.

i feel really judgmental about people who do the stalking murdering thing in those survival games. it says bad things about perpetrator. no similar thoughts for PUBG though, since it's a fixed round. that's a super clever twist on that psychopathy.

This de-chipmunked version of Refugee is so sleazy. I love it.

Boy, I loved Football 17776, thanks for pointing it out!

i'm trying to figure if i'd be delighted by my relative skill improvement in areas i'm weak, or distressed at my relative loss of skill. i can't play a saxophone, so does that mean my total inability with saxophone is now average saxophone ability? the average human is now WORSE than untrained?

I think all three are absolute triumphs! I think at the time I played them I also used the Complete mods for graphical polish.

Receiver! You're right! whoops.

I love all the songs but "this is the time we have prepared for" which is just the weird narrative of superhot, (I think?) is a triumph.

When nostalgia comes up, it reminds me that the 2000s have been a golden age for nostalgia, but what is the tenor of the culture of the 2000s that people in the future will be nostalgic for? early memes? chillwave (which is just 80s nostalgia)?

corpses don't need food

Universe saving idea: The food is created from energy stored in our fat cells, and will be extracted at some optimal rate for health, to prevent Feast Shock as a result of extracting too much too fast. This potentially creates issues for the most starving of populations, but it could positively affect the treatment of high BMI folks, who could be the greatest aid givers.

well, they answered the primary question i had about a potential follow up to a delightful game about a plucky woman fighting for truth with a camera, and that question is "will there be sikk drifting?"

1) i can't believe the only thing that's been keeping jake from serial murder is the general inaccessibility of bludgeons? 2) i think you guys are overlooking the obvious problem, which is an unknown outcome of breaking the 1st law of thermodynamics. if wishes always come with with a dark backlash, it's coming from this. i'm going to say whatever material is being converted (dark matter, whatever) into food will destabilize known reality, or possibly infuriate whatever trans-dimensional beings rely on that dark matter. though given the scale of the universe, one would have to wonder if it would register? it's probably a one strike rule, because i doubt even the total heat death of earth would really register on a galactic scale. 3) if you took all human intervention out of food production, the energy markets would be totally shaken. every factory farm, every ocean shipping container, every stove and grill... there would so much energy rebated back to the system that energy costs would plummet.

I have some pals that got decently far up the musical ladder, despite being named Fucked Up. They made the trip from burly hardcore to symphonic rock band while also not changing the vocal style really.

That article is a doozy! On one hand I'm glad we didn't get the game they were thinking about? Procedurally generated planets is just not what I want in a ME game, if the P.G. is a central mechanic. Okay, maybe if there was some kind of galactic readiness like the 3rd one, and you needed to gather some kind of resources from PG planets as a secondary mechanic to the main plotting? That might work.

November 8th is my obvious choice for the 1st annual Hoistmas. (it's not just for american's because the hoisting was a global effort, har har)

Man, this is all based on playing on Painkiller when it came out, but at the time it was just a revelation to me. (I have no memory of any cut scenes, I'm good like that.) Simple mechanical stuff, but the decision to refill health and ammo at the checkpoints which are placed fairly comfortably makes it possible to really throw yourself into the maniacal hell-splatter the combat is try to evoke. Preserve nothing, go all in all the time. It's just brilliant, and the towering bosses blew my younger mind. I never played the Serious Sam games which I think did the huge boss thing first? That stake thrower was one of the most satisfying weapons I remember using in a FPS.

I'm probably way late to the game here, but: 1) I wonder if the glass box didn't do what it was supposed to, and capture some (dark?) essence of coop? Rather than being followed that is. 2) I wonder if there is any significance to ronette worrying about "her mother" in the purple room, as a parallel to Leland and the lurking evil within?

i don't so much vote to as remain determined to stay spicy. also, for the intrepid explorer who didn't experience it in real time, one half of Jake's 90s poles (the dark pole) is best summed up by Raygun Magazine, which basically set the standard for the busted fonts, insane kerning & leading, and pantone banana yellow text on metallic silver paper. http://www.coverjunkie.com/magazines/115

I'm way late here, but when I think the game I would hold out as sophisticated enough to show to an unaffiliated person, my go to is Kentucky Route Zero. I'm surprised it's not been spoke of more on Weekend!
