  1. Books, books, books...

    Just finished A Visit from the Goon Squad. Marvellous. Very human, very insighful. Clearly mostly aimed at a somewhat older crowd with its musings about the loss of pretty much everything with time. I really could have done without the 'SF' bits near the end, but that's my only quibble.
  2. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Dishonored. I think the only other option would be Mirror's Edge. No other FP "S" is about movement.
  3. Destiny

    Got my first exotic gun! A Suros something assault rifle. They're my least favourite weapon class so I still have some room to improve, but on the other hand it's nice to have an excuse to try ARs out again. e: Jon, I won't be able to join tonight's thing, past midnight on a weekday's a bit rich for my blood. Also not 32 yet.
  4. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Sonic 1 is still pretty much gold standard for me.
  5. Destiny

    I believe the Vault of Ass is the preferred nomenclature?
  6. Consolidated ID Exchange

    Added my PSN & friended all the thumbs on there
  7. The threat of Big Dog

    What if the machine is an electronic chair?
  8. Other podcasts

    Precisely this!
  9. Life

    As someone who's more like your friend than you, if you find out what, if anything, could help with this type of mentality I'd like to hear it. I'll definitely say that I would be very happy for someone to have this type of conversation with me, because it shows you really care which is a wonderful thing. He might not be the type of person to see it that way though.
  10. Photos of things

    That plant portrait is gorgeous.
  11. UK Thumbs

    Outside it's 30+, inside it's 21. You'd think it's good insulation but my house is cold and drafty in winter
  12. Destiny

    YESSSSS Also, hit vanguard rank 2 yesterday evening while popping on to do some bounties before bed, bought a chest thing and am now level 30. This goes really fast! My weapons are starting to feel a bit anemic though. @Vulpes, I'll be sure to do so
  13. Destiny

    Update: now at level 28, woot. Second purple thingy with a roman II on it as a random strike reward
  14. Destiny

    Cool, thanks
  15. Planetside 2: When trees attack!

    I've been on both ends of it and for me at least it feels extremely unfair. Point and click is so vastly superior to slowly-track-and-click.
  16. Destiny

    Sounds interesting, how would I do that? I didn't see a link to something in the last page or so but I could just be blind.
  17. Video Game Baby - Idle Parents

    Update: my four-and-a-half-year-old is loving the heck out of Portal, Flower, Monument Valley and Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic's getting close to my no-violence threshold but given that all the enemies are robots and you're freeing your forest friends from them I think it's acceptable.
  18. Destiny

    Thanks a bunch, that's very helpful I've got both DLCs, there was an offer for the base game plus both of those.
  19. Destiny

    OK, so I ended up randomly buying this when I was up sick and judgement-impaired. I've since hit 20 on a warlock, gotten all blue gear plus on epurple glove thingy putting me at 26, and now am kind of wondering what to do. The random strike playlist is holding my interest for now but I can see that getting old soonish. Any EU thumbs want to take me under their wing? PSN ID is osmotich. e: I don't anticipate getting into pvp at all, my connection's shitty and playing FPS with a controller is aggravating enough versus dumb AI.
  20. Post your face!

    That's not Olly Moss. Congrats anyway!
  21. Dota 2 Survey

    I get way less anxiety in 1v1 games than team v team for what it's worth - at least I'm only letting myself down if I lose. I think a lot of it just comes from some sort of mental shift that I have trouble with, where losses/doing poorly has a different impact.
  22. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Oh, thanks for the reminder. I'd been meaning to pick up Sunset. Paid a bit over spec, hope it helps them out.
  23. We need to talk about race

    Well, I'm sure there are a bunch in my country, but through whatever happenstance I've managed to end up in a life that is almost entirely isolated from PoC. I think that might be a sign in and of itself that there's something fishy going on. It looks like that particular instance is changing for me anyway now that we've moved and my daughter's going to school - she's got quite a few coloured classmates and seems to be making friends with at least one. I'm looking forward to some more variety in life in that sense.
  24. Dota 2 Survey

    OK, filled it in. I think there either was no ranked yet when I played or I was not comfortable playing it, so I just put no opinion there.
  25. Dota 2 Survey

    Are you also interested in lapsed players' opinions? I tried for a while but quit.
