  1. Cara is the best and her voice is awesome. She has the world's greatest pronunciation of "taco".
  2. Life

    Yay awesome all kinds of good news! Just think of every day you're spending with your boss as one fewer day in the future!
  3. Podcasts similar to Idle Thumbs

    The non-specific purely gaming podcasts I listen to other than Idle Thumbs are Video Games Hot Dog (literally as close to Idle Thumbs as you can get, what with them being recorded in the same office) and the Giant Bombcast.
  4. Idle Workouts

    Twig if I can run an ENTIRE MILE you can get fit through yelling. You can do it. We can do it.
  5. Ori and the Blind Forest

    Yes, agreed. I died at least twice at that point and felt frustrated for that precise reason.
  6. Idle Workouts

    I ran my first ever, as far as I can remember, timed miles last week! Exciting! Somewhere between a 10-12 minute pace. That's really slow, but it also actually happened. I think one of the things that may help me to be interested in running is to actually be in good enough shape to run for more than 2 minutes at a time. I'm pretty excited for the 5K on Friday, and I am thinking I'll do another next week.
  7. Ori and the Blind Forest

    I honestly think something as simple as one or two autosave checkpoints in them would have done it. I was one or two jumps from the end on my second try and had no idea because there's no indication of how long they are.
  8. Ori and the Blind Forest

    Ok I'm REALLY stuck. :/ If anyone has any hints, I'm in the fire temple and it's a room with two hovering platforms moved by a lever. e: welp that was really simple, as I knew it would be. Dammit. God I really think all the Meatboy escape sequences really do this a disservice. Just finished the game, and what I SHOULD be feeling is exultant for what is overall an awesome game. What I actually feel is really salty because the last one is bullshit.
  9. Ori and the Blind Forest

    I'm stuck in the fire temple. :[ I agree that the escapes are somewhat antithetical to the rest of the game, mostly because there were no places to save which I feel goes against the spirit of their idea, rather than because it was too hard or just had to be memorized.
  10. Ori and the Blind Forest

    This is a good, hard game. Has anyone finished it? I feel like I'm awfully close.
  11. That's the best space ranger picture.
  12. SPAFF! I realize the show has already reached critical host to chair ratio overload, but I would not be averse to more appearances from Spaff. I bought Ori last night and played it way past bedtime, but I'm surprised at how unlike Metroid I feel like it is compared to other people. I think it might be the weight and movement of the character and monsters, and how the weapon works, rather than the way the game is structured.
  13. Maximum Axiom Verge Urge

    I really, really want to play this game. I don't usually have a "most anticipated" list rolling around in my head, but this has been on my mind as a game I have been waiting to consume for months now. And it will be for months more because I'm waiting for the PC release! A weird thing- I can't wait for people to speed run this. That's not a thing I generally ever think.
  14. I Had A Random Thought...

    *raises eyebrows conspiratorially towards the book forum*
  15. I Had A Random Thought...

    The only way to attract mates will be blowing into Nintendo cartridges.
  16. Sports

    Wrestling's not a sport! Baseball is less than a week away, though! Excited, even though the Phillies (as mentioned previously) are going to suuuuuuuuuck.
  17. Super Metroid Appreciation Station

    Do we have a thread for Axiom Verge? Because holy smokes do I want to play that (when it comes out on PC at an undisclosed future date).
  18. I'm Badfinger#1688 if you all want to put me through the blizzard Lords Management paces.
  19. Life

    I wasn't offering a rebuke! I was just reading what you said, and what you said I Ching said. Sounds like you are set up to have a fun day with a friend. Did she suggest doing anything specific? Also according to the army, make sure to ask her what's best in life.
  20. I did reply to your message. Add away!
  21. Life

    Sounds to me like you should definitively plan to have fun and enjoy the company of a friend!
  22. Sports

    Holy SMOKES Kentucky obliterated West Virginia. They had a shooting percentage less than 25%. Didn't have 20 points until almost 3/4 of the way through the game. The WVU guy who was talking up that they'd win didn't score a single point. Geeeeeeez.
  23. Oh, I meant mostly about character creation so I'm not a big doofus. But you also pretty much answered my question on that as well. I actually know what THAC0 is, fat lot of good that does me.
