I can't believe some of the games that I wanted to talk about but never really brought up. The Arc the Lad collection is one I loved and probably should have worked in when we were talking about Working Designs, but you know how that goes. Tenchu would have been fun to talk about when discussing either the 'edgy factor' or tank controls. Oh well, like I said, you can only fit so much into one show!
This is the most fun I've had playing an FPS since I was in college. No exaggeration. It beats out Halo for me and that means quite a bit.
Not trying to be a jerk here, but honestly, if those side stories about the Joker aren't made clear in the movie, they don't count. I'm not against fan theory or having fun playing with some background stuff, but the movie needs to stand on it's own without relying on fans digging that deeply into it to figure out the how's and why's.
Pretty sure I remember reading elaborate descriptions of every weapon in Doom somewhere, either in game or in some other medium. The only one that didn't have a crazy description was the BFG. It only had a single line:
"It clears out a room for you"
And it does...
It is pretty bad, but honestly just go to Board Game Geek. The community there is pretty much on top of everything you could be curious about.
If anybody wants to find out more about Brutal Doom, here's a pretty good vid:
I would like to point out that I built TWO beds from Ikea in one day thank you very much :p
That's true of NYC, but the rest of the state is pretty rural actually. It's the weather. Winters here are too long and too cold usually for people to really run an effective car hop.
I've been thinking, since my wife is into trash character dramas, maybe I can talk her into watching Scott Pilgrim. I still haven't seen it.
My wife is microphone shy. She hates even using a phone, so I'm probably never gonna be able to talk her into even saying "Hi" on the show. I'm working on it though!
My wife will watch anything, literally ANYTHING, even if it's targeted at tweens, so long as it's a character drama.
I absolutely plan on visiting Texas. I have more friends than just Julian that live down there. The Sonic thing is really weird, but you have to remember that here in upstate NY, we don't have car hop service, so most of the people who seek them out are doing it for the novelty of having that, rather than just getting to eat really good trashy fast food. Oddly, there is one local place that's privately owned that has car hop service, but that's the only one I know of in all of New York, and it's the old school style car hop with a over sized menu board stuck to the side of the building and stuff like that. No fancy electronic intercoms or credit card readers.
I keep thinking about playing this but it hits just a little too close to home.
