probably a thumbs up?

We already talked about what things are offensive in the "I Had a Random Thought" thread on page 51 and thereabouts. This thread is about doppelganger discovery.

yep

Real Lives 2010

My old hobby (trying to prove that Edward Norton, Anton Chekhov, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are all the same person), has met with little success, despite what I take to be very strong evidence: I don't want to go back to that just yet. I feel like this new discovery is even more surprising because these two people are alive at the same time rather than in different eras (which of course would suggest immortality).

Good lord.

This is an incredible podcast. All the baskteball/PS4 talk was amazing. Jeff Goldblum was just the icing on the cake.

Nancy Drew®: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake includes such gems as "You must solve the mystery before the hounds catch your scent! Dare to Play™!" and "Take photos of birds and collect bugs."

Nick Breckon has a thing to say about Spelunky.

Good lord, all the robot needs to do is get its "no" flipped to a "yes" accidentally and it's literally a stabbing machine.

13 Assassins is one of those movies everyone seems to like that I didn't really enjoy at all. The parts where they fought with swords and stuff were exciting but the rest was just bleh. Seven Samurai is amazing in comparison - fleshed out, human characters I care about, with arcs and desires and so on.

You mentioned it on the 24 hour cast you and Chris were on recently.

Nobody understands English accents.

stretch your butthole out real big Okay anyways great episode. My favorite part (of many great parts) was that it reminded me to become a patron of Porpentine on Patreon (which itself urged me to tweet about it). I miss Nick though.

I have a clock that sets itself (and thus doesn't let me set it). A few years back when they passed the law to shift Daylight Savings Time to a later date, my clock did not get the memo. So, twice a year, it changes itself by an hour. Thus far it has yet to screw me over because I rarely need an alarm to wake up, but it's always pretty weird to wake up one day each year and say "oh god how is it that late" and also wake up one day each year and say "man, I'm up early today and yet I feel surprisingly well rested!" That latter one happened to me like a week or two ago, for instance.

Ever since I got a Criticker account I haven't watched any bad movies without knowing in advance that I wouldn't like them. It's been incredibly helpful in terms of only watching good stuff.

Alain Resnais?

If you want directors to watch, here's a list I've been compiling of directors it might be worth checking out, some of whom are obvious and some of whom are a little more obscure: David Fincher Joel and Ethan Coen Michael Haneke Michael Mann Nora Ephron Paul Thomas Anderson Richard Linklater Steven Soderbergh Terrence Malick Werner Herzog John Cassavetes Andrei Tarkovsky David Mamet Robert Altman David Lean Tom Tykwer Jean-Pierre Melvill Wong Kar-Wai Krzysztof Kieslowski Abbas Kiarostami Pedro Almodóvar Bille August Emir Kusturica Tony Richardson Jacques Tati Eric Rohmer F.W. Murnau Akira Kurosawa Jean Renoir Federico Fellini Michelangelo Antonioni Hal Hartley Lars von Trier Jacques Tourneur John Huston Warren Beatty John Ford Anthony Mann Fred Zinnemann Satyajit Ray Satoshi Kon Michelangelo Antonioni Masaki Kobayashi Zhang Ke Jia

Every 15 minutes of Vampire, for the first half of the game, is full of choices more interesting than the Catwoman shit from the Idle Thumbs episode.

Since I made this for another forum, might as well post it here (if it's not clear from my recommendations, I'd probably go for Fallout: New Vegas or Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines): Featuring a picture of a Portal pumpkin I once carved because I haven't planned ahead and carved a Steam pumpkin this year, sorry I know what it's like. Staring at all the games on sale, wondering if any or all of them are worth buying. Some of them definitely aren't. So don't buy them all. But check out this guide to some games that might be worth buying! I've only really included games with pretty deep discounts that end up cheap: A Machine for Pigs, Dream, and DmC are neat, for instance, but not really cheap enough if you ask me. Read on! Atom Zombie Smasher - $2.99 Zombies are taking over Nuevos Aires. You probably can't stop them. You can barely slow them down. All you can do is evacuate as many civilians as you can. From your position in orbit above the city, direct your troops to save as many people as you can until nightfall. Featuring lots of explosions and a great minimalist story. Excellent replayability is enhanced by some fun mods you can download from right in the game. Also features awesome surf rock music. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - $4.99 Deus Ex with vampires. Extremely well done and has a dinosaur, sort of. Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition - $4.99 Potentially the best Fallout. Amazing open world RPG in a postapocalyptic Western setting with great '50s music on the radio and an Elvis impersonating gang. Space Pirates and Zombies - $2.49 Addicting top down space shooter RPG. Design and fly your own spaceships and explore the galaxy to try to defeat the zombie menace. You are the space pirates. The Void - $1.99 It's art! One of the winner's of HAWP's "Overlooked Games of 2009" prize: Shadow Man - $2.49 I've heard this is a pretty classic third person action game. Condemned: Hobo Beatdown - $3.74 Freaky as fuck and reinforces hurtful societal stereotypes about hobos with its immerisve first person hand to hand combat. What's not to like? Aside from the prejudice I mean. That's not to like. Clive Barker's Jericho™ - $1.24 Actually kind of a shitty first person shooter, but not a TERRIBLY shitty first person shooter. The Walking Dead - $6.24 it make u cry guranteed The Swapper - $5.09 Puzzle swapping metaphysical revelations featuring absolutely gorgeous graphics and a name that sounds like some kind of sexually transmitted disease. That's the reason I haven't bought it yet. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, now I have the clap and the swapper. No way. Not falling for it again. Monaco - $7.49 Pac Man meets Hitman. Frenetic gorgeous top down heist-em-up. Great in coop and in single player. Miasmata - $3.74 A game where you wander around an island as a sickly person picking flowers and trying to cure your disease. It's basically amazing. Cosostume Quest - $3.74 Thematically relevant cute little RPG. Primordia - $2.49 Pretty postapocalyptic cyberpunky adventure game. Natural Selection 2 - $6.24 One of the best multiplayer FPS games released in the past few years (and ever). Two asymmetric teams, Marines vs aliens, face off in space. Each team is led by a commander, who basically is playing Starcraft with real people. Great teamwork, great graphics, great price. Cthulhu Saves the World * Breath of Death VII - $1.01 JRPG parody/homages. Dracula Origin - $2.49 Fucking Draculas, am I right? This is probably a sequel to Dragon Age: Origins or Batman: Arkham Origins or the jet fighter simulator Strike Commander by Origin Systems which is available now on GOG.com should you wish to play that before jumping into this Dracula thing.

This game is pretty glitchy for me but once that's ironed out I will be playing more. This is me: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/TychoCelchuuu/

The Comedy is pretty great.

You can't really objectively evaluate any video game. This is what an actual objective review looks like and here is another example.

Facade pronounced 'fa-kade' isn't even a word, is it?
