Idle Thumbs 76: The Three Antidotes

Recommended Posts

I definitely played three levels. The third level was very different--you had to reach a woman on the map and escort her back to the Skyranger, whereas the second level was just a standard "kill the guys" affair. They may have had two different builds at the PAX booth or something???

You mentioned previously working for Take-Two and thus being able to skip the line, correct? Perhaps they loaded up a different build for their ol' buddy Remo.

Great, now I have Space Asshole stuck in my head. Not that that's a bad thing.

Also, to interject on the pronunciation discussion, one that's always bothered me was zealot. I never really used the term outside of Starcraft and all that time I never heard it said out loud. Then one day I learned how it was "supposed" to be pronounced. I always read it in my head as "zee-lot" rather than "zel-uht" since zeal is pronounced "zeel" (rhymes with seal) not "zel" (rhymes with bell). I think I even argued with Chris about this on Twitter many moons ago.

MELEE

Dear god in heaven, it's pronounced MAY-LAY

Yeah, this had occurred to me. They didn't touch the machine before I used it, but maybe they directed me towards one that was already set up with a different built.

Yeah all beefs or complaints are fictional. Except that there is really only one true scoops and it's Steve. Or maybe some wry fast talkin newspaper reporter from the '20s.

I feel like I should mention that I made like 3 posts about this on Page 2 that were all delicately worded poop jokes.

I just feel like this has come up enough times since that I should explain that.

I've just come to the realisation that I paid money to hear three guys basically say "machines operate differently to nature" for 20 minutes. And I listened to that conversation twice.

On the topic of playing demos and not buying the game, I have a group of maybe 5 friends who would play the Skate demo for hours on end and to this day still play it every time any of them are together (still Skate 1).  They all skate or at least did when the game came out and we were in high school, and for a couple I think it's one of the only games they actually played on PS3.

The community center area in the Skate demo was one of the best spots in the game. I got the full game, but I still spent a ton of my time in that area.

It even returned as DLC for Skate 2, which really makes it the Wake Island of the series!
