Morning Discussion: Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
by Chris Faylor, Jul 13, 2009 7:04am PDT"You enjoy writing up your weekend adventures," she said. "Drink, sleep, repeat," I responded. "But I did hear some Cher and Ram Jam songs. Got stuck in my head."
"It's too bad you couldn't make it to New York to meet Starfy," we both thought, with no need to vocalize it as we had discussed this many times before. Then I brought up Stay Puft and Grimlock and she got jealous again, but not before I saw her grin just a bit.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
So, FC2 is on the way from GameFly. What should I expect? I liked the 1st one. The videos of FC2 look badass, I remember seeing the video of fire burning in a dry grass field or something from a while back and it was cool as shit. I can't remember though, is FC2 like an open world game? Or is it more linear?

Last night's tourney was a roaring success! Double Elimination worked very well and produced some spectacular games. Some videos of those games should be hitting youtube any time now.
Congratulations to Mechanicalgrape (Blanka), our week 3 winner and first second time winner (reprising his week 1 victory).
Sign up for Week 4!

you aren't anyone's boss, so what incentive do they have to listen to you? it feels odd. also is it odd to anyone else when they are either senior or the actual boss of someone older than them?

One thing about the game that is killing me is how little I'm actually playing. I'm going non-lethal and no-ration so far, so I'm taking it slow and steady, but I've still only put in 10 hours going into act 4. Roughly half of that is cutscenes, I'm sure. I mean, fuck. That's insane. What makes it more frustrating, is the gameplay is mostly fun, so it sucks there's so little of it. Act 3 was incredibly short. Also, I've found I really hate the driving while gunning sequences. Most of what happens is all flash and no substance, and your actions don't matter aside from tranquilizing the gunners on the hummer in the act 3 bike sequence, and a couple of frogs at the end to stay alive, I did nothing. I didn't need to do anything, and that makes the experience feel shallow. Same for the top-of-the-APC bits, aside from killing the geckos and shooting open the door, I did nothing.
Hope Act 4 delivers!

I'm looking at earrings on their website, and to be honest, most of them look like utter shit. Do they look better in real life?

Then when I finally find the pants I think fit, being the shopping hater that I am, I quickly take them off and pay. However that is stupid. I should have walked out of the change room and made sure they were comfortable. Instead I find this out the next day when I try them on and walk around my apartment - finding the SERIOUSLY bind in the crotch area when moving. ARG!!!
Is there some miracle way for me to gain a waistline? I mean seriously. It's clear no matter what shit I eat it's just not going to happen. They don't make clothes for people like me :(

I can't fucking kill The Beast. I'm not sure if it's a bug or what but the camera doesn't immediately show the fight for about 5 seconds (zooms in from across a field) and I've taken 20% damage by the time I have control then get stunned repeatedly by him. arghhhhhh
I just reloaded an older save to add some points into the Aard (specifically to pick up the stun ability) so hopefully that will help out. :\ any tips?

Finally tracked down that Glimmerati NFS that I've been wanting. Only two games I really need for the collection now are the Gold Master Press Kits of Warhammer 40k: Glory in Death and Civilization. After that I'm pretty much set (unless something like Alien Front or Virtua Cop lands on my lap at a remotely reasonable price).
