  1. The Wolf Among Us

    Well it was hilarious as all hell to just punch everyone who was even the slightest bit of a jerk to you, so there's that.
  2. The terrible wallet scourge of the Amiibo.

    I just want one for the extra levels. I hope I don't have to pay scalper prices for a cheapo plastic toy I don't exactly want.
  3. Baby Got Backstory - A trope creation thread

    Hey guys, you know what's shit about that explanation in universe? My friend brought this up and I completely forgot. Remember The End? He had photosynthesis powers that recharaged his health. He would recharge anytime you left him alone for too long during the boss fight. If I recall The End was fully clothed, not walking around in a codpiece with his chest hair out. Fuck off Kojima with the "words and deeds" BS.
  4. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Good news, I got the collector's edition stuff I wanted for less than I would from the $40 extra dollars from upgrading by just trolling ebay for the DLC code and the bonus disc piecemeal. Take that! Now I don't have to feel slightly guilty for throwing a plastic arm and bulky packaging in the garbage. Also I cancelled my Day 1 copy on Amazon after that since Amazon doesn't care about shipping games on time unless you pay for prime and now I can buy this game when it's on sale and I'm ready to play it in like 2-3 years. Neato!
  5. Ahaha, I know almost everyone who worked on that horrible Moose at this local 3D company. It's the worst. They all hated it. The guy who is paying for it is psychotic and just wastes all this money on revamping the damn thing for like 7 years now. Since the 3D company is pretty podunk, they take what they can get.
  6. Intoxicated:

    Sounds like a plan to me.
  7. Intoxicated:

    Top 3! Name 'em!
  8. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Hahaha! I don't know why people don't just publish a Blu-ray version, it's not like the drives are that expensive. I see cheap no name drives out there at around $35.
  9. I Had A Random Thought...

    I still have a shitty chain wallet I have from high school. I just bury my chain in my pocket. I'm very afraid of losing my keys and wallet even though it's a fashion don't.
  10. The Wolf Among Us

    Christ, this game is so broken if you play as a complete asshole. Episode 5 turns from weak storytelling to complete and utter nonsense.
  11. Nintendo 3DS

    Well I guess I lied because searching Jncos on Google gives me a bunch of articles on how they are coming back. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/jnco-jeans-are-making-a-comeback-and-teenagers-are-horrified-10160101.html I never had any though but I used to love cargo pants. Also Coal Chamber has a new album.
  12. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    The thing I like about having boxed versions is having my own hard copy. I don't necessarily need a box but it fits on a shelf, so that's nice. Having a box with basically nothing inside is bizarre. I have a few PC games that require Steam activation but I could probably just crack them later if need be since the files are on there.
  13. Nintendo 3DS

    Jncos aren't cool anymore!
  14. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    So it's not possible to resell the boxed copies right? That's their game?
  15. Intoxicated:

    I think at this point there's a lot of new drinkers who feel like they have to say they like IPA because it's hipster cool homebrew whatever. I know I tried to find the good qualities for a time when everyone would push them on me years ago. Shit's nasty.
  16. Feminism

    The part I didn't want my wife to see is that bizarre Date with Paz mission. The end mission where she's in her underwear(swimsuit?) is I guess explained by whatever the hell is going on with water in that cockpit. It's not a great explaination but is one of the less troubling things about Peacewalker and the Metal Gear series in general. Maybe the Date with Kaz mission is even more bizarre because beating him up makes him have sex with you. Why these (I'm assuming non canon) date missions Kojima?
  17. Nintendo 3DS

    The problem is carrying the XL in your pockets for those sweet puzzle pieces. So glad New regular 3DS is coming!
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah the last two or three episodes were just garbage, so I agree with with Gwardinen. It seemed like a good setup in which I was seriously interest and then it just fell apart. I was considering whether or not I should turn it off during the beginning of episode 8. Also the show was juggling way too much characters to really get anything out of most of them.
  19. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Everything new album from Public Enemy tends to be half full of misses, but the other half is always gold. I also loved this DJ Lord single Chuck was in earlier this year:
  20. Plug your shit

    Very slick. Does it only do military time though?
  21. PAX 2015

    I guess I now understand why Starbucks calls their regular coffee Pike Place. Or as half the customers call it, "Pikes Peak." Yep.
  22. Idle Thumbs 224: Ms. Petman

    Love can still bloom on the battlefield though.
  23. Idle Thumbs 224: Ms. Petman

    Just never forget this happened.
