Why not both?

Where are the keys? I'll bet I have some and I'm just too dumb to find them.

It makes a certain evolutionary sense that small children with an instinctual aversion to lava would be more likely to pass on their genes to future generations.

Ground Zeroes does take place in the 80s :rolls eyes:

That's the best part!

Every time i listen to the You Are Not So Smart podcast, I think "This explains GG".

pkirkner's got it right (thanks for writing that up btw). The best thing to look at right now is the races and classes and, if you're feeling ambitious, take a look at how ability scores are used in tests and combat. It's relatively simple (compared to other versions of D&D), but having an idea of your range of actions is helpful. Let me know when I can add you to the hangout via PM.

Aui_2000, good get! I love that you guys are consistently getting the mellow dudes of Dota. Do you guys have any connections to EU dota? Maybe Blitz? S4 seems rad. I guess I can see why some people here thought he was standoffish; he isn't really a voice of Dota and doesn't really have his banter down, but then he's not really that guy. I didn't really find him self-contradictory though. The closest he really got was waffling over the importance of MMR, but I thought he made himself pretty clear; all pros probably have a high MMR, but not all players with high MMR can make it as pros. How would you guys approach interviewing a Dota rogue like Sing Sing or EE or noted interview trolls like Puppey? Would you even want to? Well, you'd obviously would WANT to, but I imagine it would be daunting.

hey D&D guys, I've put a request in your PMs for your gmail contacts so I can add you to the hangout.

I've actually been having a lot of fun with HOTS. Hit me up if you see me online. Deviluknow#1713

Clever girl...

You'll have a bunch of numbers after that name. It'll appear at the header of your friend list.

$10 is a good amount for GZ. It genuinely plays great, even with mouse and keyboard.

It is not

Especially when the overt text of Hotline Miami was literally the developers inserting themselves into the game and saying "none of this means anything, we made you do this because we know you like it. You're welcome" Nothing I've ever heard about the Dennaton guys make me think they're actually that thoughtful about violence in video games, or anything other than what is rad and stylish. If anything, I thought HLM was a reaction against shallow moralizing in video games like Spec Ops or BioShock; its just utterly nihilistic and hedonistic with no pretense of deeper meaning. A dirty indulgence of your fascistic id. The meaningless nonsense lore dump you got for getting the secret ending seemed more like a final joke on the player looking for a deeper truth.

It's really simple.

Driving since 17 but 90% of my travel is done with transit. I agree that the best thing is never needing to drive to get somewhere or to get food. A car is 100% necessary when you have kids though, even if you only need it for an hour a week.

TB has been auto-fellating his channel subscriptions and literally dropped the mic by stealing a joke originally made at his expense. https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/579868880530718721 I think I'm done with video games. I'm not sure what this has to do with ethics in games journalism. Maybe everything. https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/579835248608817154

I'd take more Metal Gear Rising titles!

He just drops "ironic" channer lingo into his tweets like a dad trying to be cool for his kids. Been doing it for a while.

suuuuuuuuuuuure I'll believe Kojima is done with MG when he's dead.

Get gud

I got the same impression when I was lurking in /d2g/ in 2012 during The International. Everyone told same jokes the same way, expressed themselves the same way, ridiculed the same way. Anyone not adhering to the unspoken style guide was mocked and ignored. It was ironically performative.
