  1. Life

    I'm always ready for No Shave November! Every day! Without shaving...
  2. The same incidental dialogue that reveals that they don't always appear human-ish also mentions that they're always blue, I believe. I remember hearing that and laughing out loud. It's in Mass Effect 2 (I know that much for sure), in the bar on the planet where you meet Liara, I think.
  3. Cyberpunk Cop Killah (aka The Last Night)

  6. MO MONEY MO THUMBS - PAYDAY 2

    THIS IS REALLY UPSETTING ME I'VE BEEN FREE ALL NIGHT AND NO INVITE
  7. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    My favorite thing about this is hopefully the next Mario Kart will just be Nintendo Kart and we'll have the best things of all worlds!
  8. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Condescensions certainly aren't hurting.
  9. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    The no dlc planned stuff is pretty old innit? Last time I saw it was at least a year ago. Def before the game was released and double def before the first dlc announced!
  10. MO MONEY MO THUMBS - PAYDAY 2

    I WANNA PLAYYYYYYYYY
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    Huh, an Avengers two-parter. Presumably both with the Guardians? Yes I am strangely okay with this.
  12. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    The former is weird and awkward, and the latter is perfectly fine and ugh can everyone just stop using the word "gross" it's so fucking gross.
  13. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    YES! I loooooooooove the setting and atmosphere of The Dig but it's sort of a garbage game, compared to the rest of the LA classics. ):
  14. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I think it's silly to hold it against someone for wanting to advertise stuff. Does it actively prohibit you from playing the game? I have a hard time getting up in arms about something as benign as that. Once they start doing gatchas, I'll join you with a pitchfork and torch in either hand!
  15. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Having never played a * Warriors game, those seem like decent value:content ratios to me?
  16. Ob...Objection?! Is that how this works?? (I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of Reyturner's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure example of Male Baby Got Backstory because it's a good one. People might have forgotten it in their brief stint of insanity or whatever is going on with you weirdo anti-Jessica Rabbit freaks.)
  17. Well, except for the part where it does literally exactly that, I think you've finally got this down!
  18. Spacebase!

    I think the problem is Double Fine went into this expecting to make a constant stream of money from early access sales, not realizing that Dwarf Fortress - the most popular and long-lasting game in this specific genre - makes like a couple thousand a month off voluntary donations (data NOT RELIABLE: comes from the like three times total I researched a specific month during my Dorftress lovefest a few years ago). Prison Architect seems to be doing well, but it's the exception, not the rule. They also put out updates Basically Never after the first few months, which is why I ended up almost forgetting about it until it was announced that development was going to end. Prison Architect puts out updates on a monthly basis, I think? Or near to it. Regular enough that I'd be surprised if I went a couple months without seeing anything. I'm like you: I looooove these kinds of games, and was just waiting and waiting for it to get better, because I KNEW it would. Well, I was wrong. Alas.
  19. Okay, I misunderstood you, then. Sorry! (I also think you misunderstood me, originally, then. I was never arguing about how we should qualify it - only that we should classify it as falling under this trope.)
  20. Feminism

    There's nothing wrong with liking a movie (or book or game) while also being aware of its flaws! I still like The Fifth Element. ):<
  21. Oh we're DEFINITELY coming back to it later. ):<
  22. "It doesn't explain away with a weak rationalization" is a judgment of the justification. You're right that the problem isn't with whether or not the justification is good. The fact that it IS a justification is all that matters. The second we start judging which ones are worthy justifications - ones that earn their place - and which ones aren't is the second we get hung up on examples like this one. The facts are: It is a justification. Well, I guess that's just a fact. Singular. That said, Bjorn is right, I guess. Not worth arguing about something SO INCREDIBLY BRAINMELTINGLY OBVIOUS when we have so few examples as is GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER PEOPLE.
  23. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I've been continuing to play through NSMBU. It continues to be better than I expected. I've almost finished the main game, although I noticed today that it counts the flag poles I've hit at the top, and not noticed a way to distinguish between the two states on the map, and that's going to drive me crazy unless it reveals itself to me after I beat the game or something. D: And then there's Luigi U, which I haven't touched yet. Does he actually control like Luigi? I love the floaty high jumpy slippery Luigi feel and I'm going to be disappointed if it's just like Mario.
  24. Beeeeeeeeeen. YES. All those things are true! But just because a justification is good or makes sense doesn't make it any less of a justification!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    1) I disagree with your premise. I've seen some people back out of GG after a presentation of facts. One of my friends, the one least likely to back down if you'd asked me beforehand!, actually did change his mind over the course of a couple hours. Obviously you don't run up at them and shove an article in their face "HEY LOOK AT THIS, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS". But if they don't respond well to calm discussion, then... fuck 'em. 2) I'm not trying to "convert" anyone (this implies "sides", which I have issues with for a lot of reasons), besides my friends, all of whom luckily do not identify with GG at this point. I inform them of the problem, and that's it. If they continue to be full of shit, then I'm out. They're a waste of my time until they realize the error of their ways. I have no patience for this bullshit anymore. It is gone.
