Speaking from what I've seen, I think a lot of the success of the fangames is due to the younger fan base not having the money to buy the real thing. I teach fifth grade and my students are OBSESSED with FNAF. Like, to a really weird degree. They're too young to have a credit card or anything to buy the game with, so they go online for flash versions of it. Leave them alone at a computer for 10 minutes and they've found one. It's weird to me how much it's caught on with younger kids. From what I can tell, there are now two obsessions for tween gamers: Minecraft and FNAF.

A good buddy of mine has taken to adding JUST A LITTLE BIT of ********* juice to this. It's pretty damn tasty. EDIT: Oh yeah... p i n e a p p l e.

I sure do and I use it all the time. No complaints here.

Switching between OlliOlli2 and Trials Fusion's DLC, my girlfriend is now asking when I turn on the PS4 "Is this the game where you fall off the bike a lot or the game where you fall off the skateboard a lot?"

I am not good at shmups, so there's that. That said, I loved Jamestown a lot. It's a really fun game and the story is bonkers.

I have Kraken on top of my fridge. Not really a rum guy, but I like that one a lot. I second Macallan. Personally I prefer the more heavily peated scotches (Lagavulin is tops, Laphroaig in a pinch), but Macallan is always a crowd-pleaser to friends who are a little bit into scotch or curious about it. A buddy of mine who likes scotch but hadn't tried it before said that the Amber was his new favourite after a glass of it. It's good stuff. For what it's worth, as my stepdad ages, Macallan is also one of the few that he can have after dinner that he doesn't end up with a headache from later, so it's easier on your body than some others as well. (Having a glass of Punjabi Club right now. One rock, nothing else. Yummmmm...)

I've been enjoying weird whiskies lately. The shop by my house started stocking something called Punjabi Club, which is Canadian whiskey prepared with Indian spices. It's fucking delicious. That said, I've done the "HEY IF GATORADE WORKS AGAINST A HANGOVER THEN I SHOULD JUST MIX THE ALCOHOL WITH IT AND BE A SUPERHERO" thing. I hope you feel okay in the morning. That shit hurt.

I can also confirm that this works and is rad. I don't have the first party one, but I bought one of these and it works great on Wii U and PC. Miffy seal of approval applied.

That will work fine. Thing is, the ones you can download on Wii U are from the Prime Trilogy Wii port. Those weren't controller compatible on Wii because the whole point was touched up graphics and new controls. The Wii U download of Prime Trilogy is exactly what's on that Wii disc. 5 minutes later... So I went and tried it out, used my adapter and GCN controller to try to play Metroid Prime from the download. No dice. Wiimote and Nunchuck only.

Zero Mission is excellent. Get it. The Metroid Wii games weren't even GCN controller compatible on Wii, so they didn't hack that in for the VC release.

Wasn't it that opening buzz' wings caused them to cut the tape that was holding him to the rocket? Because his arms were taped down, he couldn't hit the button to pop the wings, so he needed Woody to hit it for him? Man, I remember a lot about that considering I haven't seen the movie since I was about 13.

Um... I'm an English teacher, and have definitely chipped in on this thread in the past. Due to being a teacher, there is something else that I can't talk openly about on a public forum. I leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions about why I may be posting this information right now. Is there something wrong with this?

The solution is to move out West. Once you get here they give you a card that specifically allows you to start using "y'all".

RE: the douchebag thing. I think a key is that, in North American culture anyway, it's a word for a gendered thing (yes, douches are used to clean vaginas) but not as a gendered INSULT. When you call a woman a bitch, you know exactly what you're saying. When you call a man a bitch, you're mocking him for acting "like a woman". When you call a man or a woman a douche, you're not bringing that baggage along. I was linked to an article late last year (possibly by someone on this forum, I don't remember) that laid out the case for using "douche" pretty well. The short version for those who don't want to read the whole thing: The noun "douche", when referring to the actual thing, is LITERALLY an outdated, sexist, and potentially harmful tool. If a person I encounter also fits that description, I have no objection to using the word to describe them.

Why the hell would anyone not be a Henry Rollins fan? The man is rad as hell. Gonna check it out.

So I was listening to The Predator in the car on the way home today, and is "Now I gotta Wet' Cha" the origin of the phrase "It's on like Donkey Kong"? Did Ice Cube invent that?

Sooo... Gamergate is switching to Bing?

I work with mentally handicapped children. If you use words like that around me, I don't care how you actually intended it. I will immediately think that you're a shitty excuse for a human being and start to disregard anything else you're saying. So yeah, don't use "retarded" or "spastic" unless you like being thought of as a complete asshole.

Sweet! Except that now that I've transitioned to playing Rocksmith religiously, I wonder how much I'd want to go back. Drums at least will be rad. My ion kit shall be happy.

Yeah. It was actually about ethics in games journalism.

There's also the far more cynical view that hope is also an evil as it causes us to be even more let down when the other evils get to us.

Some of them try to look me up on facebook. All they can view without my permission is my profile picture, which is me on the bike path downtown in mid-August with my green mohawk up-but-slightly-crushed-by-my-bike-helmet. It's enough to impress them.

Hair is fun! My girlfriend just shaves off different patterns depending on her mood (she is currently transitioning from a mohawk to a half shave, meaning that she is continuing to shave the left side of her head, has about 4 inches of mohawk down the middle, and the right side of her head has about 3/4 of an inch of stubbly growth as she grows it back in) while I have a more defined cycle thanks to my career that's dependent on whether or not the school year is happening. When I'm a teacher, I need to look pretty normal so it's my boring brown hair in boring guy cuts, then about this point of the year I stop getting hair cuts so that by the summer I have a good length to bleach, dye, and shave into a big mohawk of my own that I then have to shave off again in September. Last year was a really deep green. This year, I'm thinking lavender but haven't decided yet. The great part about a punk haircut is that people already expect less of you if you have one, so I have the option of just waking up and letting it fall where it wants to or spending the 30 minutes actually getting it to stand up. Either way I look badass, and it's just down to my mood. So yeah, the moral is that everyone should not give a fuck about fighting with their hair and have fun with it. It's great.

Thinly veiled? Minimally concealed? If we're speaking about things that aren't physical objects, subtextual?

I completed Origins and Awakening (and as far as I could tell, all the sidequests in both) in about 60 hours total. How do you put that much time in?
