Who is the king of grapes?

It looks like the next update is going to be another pretty substantial one. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_features I've started to kind of dread some of these patches because each one makes my 2-ish year old world feel more and more outdated. I love the idea of the new features but it's reached a point where I'll have to travel pretty fucking far to reach newly generated terrain that will have the latest stuff. I still haven't even managed to venture out and find horses yet and just barely made it far enough in the Nether to find quartz.

Ah, I see what you mean. I say go for it. I don't recall ever seeing a general thread showing that type of information.

I would use the thread Gormongous posted above. I've seen plenty of posts about general video game news there.

It is the one glory hole to rule them all, one glory hole to find them, one glory hole to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. And by "them" I mean penises of course. Okay, I'll stop now.

Fresh and Easy is my favorite grocery store ever.

King is trying to trademark the word 'Candy' as it pertains to video games and clothing. http://www.gamezebo.com/news/2014/01/20/king-has-trademarked-word-candy-and-youre-probably-infringing I get that generic words can be trademarked under certain circumstances (e.g. Apple) but do they really have any ground to stand on laying claim to a single word from the title of their game? And what about all the games with the word 'Candy' in the name that predate Candy Crush (Candy Land being a big one that comes to mind)? I would think that a lot of companies could argue that they already have common law trademarks established in numerous areas and I would think this would provide some protection. But I guess I don't know how that would work given that this shit is all on the internet and not really tied to a geographical region.

A bear and a rabbit are shitting in the woods. The bear asks the rabbit if he ever has problems with shit sticking to his fur. The rabbit replies "No" and the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit.

Just a quick update... I'm still stuck. I tried the log throwing contest with the barber but it turns out Guybrush can't throw a log to save his life. I suspect I might need to somehow cut down a rubber tree and toss that instead since it would probably be all bouncy in typical cartoon fashion. Everything else seems to be a dead end at the moment. I can't pick any items up at the cabana since I'm not a member, Gary Coleman doesn't seem to like any of my items and just wants to keep scamming me out of lemonade, and the dudes on the stage are too busy rehearsing to give a shit about anything I show them. I still haven't been super thorough at this point though so I'm hoping that taking another pass through each area and exhausting all item usage possibilities will reveal what I am missing.

It sucks things ended up turning out that way but it sounds like that's about the best way a long term relationship could possibly end. That's awesome to hear that you were both able to handle it in such a mature way.

Is there a thread about people's daily routines?

You know, I deleted something along those lines from my post before I clicked the button. I figured two references to ejaculation in one day would be too much.

I can't wait till scientists figure out a way to graph all of the shit on the internet into people's minds and they are all linked together wirelessly through some fleshly wireless router that is implanted in each of us at birth. Living in a hive mind would totally be sweet.

Ah cool. I'm glad you were able to escape before the crypt keeper got you.

As in Phoenix, Arizona? For a city as big as this one, I'm kind of sad and surprised that it is completely devoid of Thumbs.

So the latest Dead Rising 3 patch is apparently 13 GB. http://kotaku.com/13-gb-dead-rising-3-patch-raises-questions-about-gaming-1505219529 That's pretty fucking huge especially considering the size of the base install.

We have these automatic soap dispensers in the restroom at my work that make me feel like my hands are being ejaculated on every time I wash them.

I think it was about a year ago now that I was bored at work one day and Googled "video game podcasts". After going through some search results I ended up gravitating towards Idle Thumbs based on some recommendations on a random forum. Then a couple months later I decided to join the forums. It's weird to think that in the age of Facebook and Twitter that this is the first and only internet community that I've participated in. I think that's because this is one of the few places on the internet where people are intelligent and actually treat each other like human beings.

Reptites are real to me dammit!

Well let's just leave it at that then. The extent of what I've heard so far is that there is a place called Rubacava and a character named Manny Calavera whom Rodi's avatar is based on. I still have zero context for any of this so I would be inclined to think that nothing too important has been spoiled. Also, thanks for looking out.

The DLC unlocks automatically when you incinerate a lamb.

Call of Jonah: Fishinhabiter

And in an ironic twist of fate, once you realize Jonah's whale was just a big herring, you get to feed him to an actual whale. Then when the whale spits Jonah out several days later you realize that you just fulfilled his prophecy.

Why not just increase the length of each episode by ten minutes and give Chris his own Spelunky segment at the end of each one? Call it "Spelunking with Chris Remo". Then Chris won't have to feel guilty for talking about Spelunky and Sean can make his escape so he can retain what little sanity he has left. That's what I call a win-win-win.

One thing I find very interesting is when a video game attempts to depict what a character experiences when they are intoxicated. It usually turns out to just be some cosmetic bullshit like the screen getting wavy or the controls getting all weird but sometimes games manage to do something interesting with this concept. A recent example for me would have to be a certain mission in GTA5. I'm curious what other people here have experienced in this regard or how you think this concept could be used effectively in games. Would it be possible to make a game that entirely revolves around this concept and have it be as affecting as a movie like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was for some people?
