This is a little overkill for most people, but if you've been looking to try out sous vide there's a pretty deep discount on anova today (119€ instead of 169€). https://anovaculinary.com/store/ not affiliated in any way with the company.

This weeks (old) this american life is something else: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/334/duty-calls warning it features: alcohol abuse, physical abuse, descriptions of those things

120% gamergater. Also defends his game with "all bi guys I know all turned out gay in the end" etc.

I learned that there is a sort of voluntary search and rescue squad in Elite Dangerous. If you run out fuel in space they'll give you instructions on how to disable your space ship and enter life support mode, fly to wherever you are (which might be real-time hours away? I gather) and sort you out. Video gaaaaaaames. This dispatch chat log is amazing. http://pastebin.com/U98wePRA

So good. Especially Cara and Chris for these good file name puns. Well done. Three thumbs up for Idle Thumbs (this leaves one idle thumb who thought these puns were a little bit dumb)

Missed this thread, sorry about that. PM sent with the key.

Humble Bundle 11 is the deal you cannot refuse. I've got some extras to give away since I already bought the games. The Swapper Dust: An Elysian Tail Antichamber Monaco: What's yours is mine Fez Starseed Pilgrim If you want any of these, leave your name here and I'll send it to you. Only got one code for each. I'll check back in a day or two and if there's more than one person who wants a game I'll randomly distribute the game through the power of dice.

Tom Bissel ladies and gentlemen. Why does anyone else bother to write anything about video games ever?

Brace yourself. Pace yourself.

It would also be sad if all video games could do would be name dropping historical events while asking you to kill a thousand mans and looting their bodies for cakes and 3 dollars (while being hailed as the greatest achievement of the medium).

I used to like radio lab more. It seems to have become more forced the longer they've done it. The first minute of "are you sure?" just makes me want quit listening. They're trying hard with the editing and all I can think of is how hard they're trying. Not to mention the banter between the hosts is infuriating, on a recent episode Kraulwhich(?) could not stop giggling like a five year old. Horrible.

Was that the sound of you being BLOWN AWAY?

RNG is credit to team!

At the time I hadn't finished the game but your efforts are applauded sir!

Fin. (dont click that spoiler if you care about finding out yourself)

Late(?) game story stuff, confusion.

The second time I used the melee kill (by accident) Booker had already sprung Elizabeth, and as I watched my avatar of death drive a mini outboard motor into the neck and throat of this poor NPC I heard a sickened woman sputter "oh my god". Quit to desktop.

Story stuff

re: handyman

This sure is a video game. Very slight spoilers about some situations you're presented in Infinite:

Time to VIDEO GAME GUY: Roughly 15 seconds. Columbia is very pretty (when it's not busy loading in textures).

I think this game deserves a thread of its own, you should play it (you can probably finish it in an evening or two). It's another game that comes from a group of students at digipen. It is quite clever. Also, the dude looks like megaman when he jumps and that appeals to old thumbs. Download: http://www.seewithperspective.com
