Is the giant "EARLY ACCESS GAME" screaming at the person on the Steam store page not enough, anymore? Maybe they should they play an annoying repeating sound effect "NOT FINISHED. NOT FINISHED. NOT FINISHED."

Yeah I don't think it happened much in the earlier episodes, to be fair! And I guess I'm exaggerating a bit when I say "frequently". I mostly just meant, "more frequently than I expected".

One for each grade of gross yellowing.

Hey Lacabra I liked your game InFlux! I forgot to tell you that! The only problem I had was an inexplicable motion sickness - something that rarely afflicts me. Probably field of view related, now that I think about it. I probably should've looked into that when I was still playing it. i mean uh Where are the cheesemints dur hur game is worthless without 'em.

The problem with the idea of Cecil not realizing everything is surreal is alarming is that he clearly does, when that stuff affects him, personally. He freaks out pretty frequently, despite clearly trying not to. Most recently that business with the tape he recorded as a kid. I guess if you don't like the idea of him actually being aware that everything's fucked, but pretending it's not, then well that sucks for you. I love it. I would love it less if he didn't speak in this manner. (I would probably still love it, anyway, as long as he didn't turn into a gibbering mess of a human being. That'd completely ruin it for me.) WHOA SHIT unfortunate typo

I'll take a whitelisting! Username: Twig Not sure if I'll actually jump on and play, but just in case...?

I don't know what just happened! I've had the "where is your line" conversation on these forums before. It didn't go well. So I'm not going to respond. Sorry. U: (Also this is the wrong thread for it, anyway.)

Oh yeah real-life pirates are not fun, and obviously I'm aware of that, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the fake pirate of yesteryear.

IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?! Wario Land 4 is by far my favorite GBA game. Well, unless you count Mother 3 which never came out here, then it's sorta up in the air.

I choose to believe the fantasy of pirates IS the reality of pirates because that makes life more fun!

Korra is the most annoying main character ugh. I liked season one, but season two has been hell. EXCEPT for the first Avatar episodes. Those were great. I wish the series had been that.

I drink coffee to get high AND because I like the taste! But I don't like black coffee (or even just cream or milk and/or sugar). I need all kinds of additives. Whatever shut up. I've considered many times purchasing some expensive coffee machinery so that I no longer have to go to coffee shops but I wouldn't even know where to start so I don't.

I love the way he talks. It's the best.

At least Shake It was supposed to be good. Although I haven't played it, much to my shame.

Campbell Macabre is maybe my favorite fake name ever.

I beat it! Bandit + Jar of Souls is OP. Sniper is weird. Definitely a multiplayer-only kind of dude. Doesn't really have the fast damage output to survive on his own. Even two snipers (as my friend and I just tried) didn't work out well at all. Still a lot of stuff to unlock. I imagine I'll be spending a lot more time with it, like I did with The Binding of Isaac after I beat that. And like I did with Spelunky classic (and presume I will do with Spelunky HD)! Also to go back to the procedural generation stuff: for the most part, there's not much randomization within a level. The random stuff includes chest placement and teleporter placement. but there is SOMe randomization in level structure, and there are more levels that exist than you'll see in one playthrough. That is, it takes six levels to beat the game. There are more than six levels. (The first and last level are always the same, I think?) I dunno, just kind of guessing. Only had the game for one day!

Bought it. Is great fun, especially with a friend (or three!). sclpls: This game has more in common with a traditional roguelike than Spelunky does, in that there are a TON of different powerups and such that you can find as you play, there are different classes (although you have to unlock them), and the focus is more on killing all the dudes and finding the exit than it is platforming.

I agree completely. The problem, I think, is that WarioWare overtook Wario Land as The Wario Franchise. The Wii one was supposed to be good, but I never got around to it. Much to my shame.

I emailed my Dallas job contact again. Now I wait for a response which will inevitably be "we don't know yet" or "sorry no you're not good enough you miserable ingrate". Hooooooo-ray!

KNOWLEDGE IS LAME

The nice thing about meanings is they change and it definitely no longer means that so who cares we can all say it free of guilt.

I didn't say it was obscure, just that I've never heard it. And I have literally no idea what it means. I couldn't even begin to make an educated guess, except that I know it's somehow supposed to be demeaning to the Dutch I GUESS? I can't believe Dutch oven has that kind of underlying connotation to it. That's absurd. Well I can believe it. But I won't.

Oh I guess there's this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven_(practical_joke)#Practical_jokes which I've never heard of. Is it rooted in something vile or is it just a dumb extension of how Dutch ovens actually work? I've also never heard any of the ones that you added in your edit. I mean I'm not saying American slang isn't overflowing with subtle and not-so-subtle accidental and purposeful racism (the most surprising to me being "gypped", which I only realized once I learned how it was spelled (assuming it was spelled "jipped" for many, many, many years)), but these are all new to me!

I've never heard the first three, "Dutch oven" doesn't seem particularly racist (unless you also consider French fries racist, which is absurd), and I don't know anyone in recent times who actually uses the phrase "going Dutch". When I hear "Dutch" I just think of a race of people without connotation because I know nothing about them!

Is it, though?
