It’s an absolutely perfect example of how petty he and his ilk are.

I take reviews on any site (especially Google/maps) with a huge grain of salt. I mostly only go straight to the negative reviews though. If they’re all petty shit, then it’s usually a good sign. I also like to see if the business/owner has responded. If they’re posting snarky responses to negative reviews, then I’m inclined to think that this isn’t a business that I want to deal with.
I ran PX Poker Night for the first time this year. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I’m currently waiting for the print copy of God’s Teeth, which I plan to run.
We had the second-highest number of sessions in our Pathfinder game (the Hell’s Rebels AP) since we started in 2019. 8 sessions this year, 2019 was the highest number with 9.
Started playing Changeling with a different group, most of whom I’d never played with before. That game is fortnightly and still going. It’s the first time I’ve played a regular game with another group since my ‘main’ group started playing together in 2004-ish. Actually, if I count those sessions, I’ve played more this year than I have in the past ten years.
I ran a session of Delta Green for the first time this year. I’ve been interested since it first came out. I’m currently in the exploratory stages of finding out who will be available for a regular game of that, but it won’t be starting until next year.
Actually, that’s another one. I’ve played more new games this year than I have before, other than convention games, at least. Played Fate, Changeling and Delta Green for the first time.
I’ll preface this by saying that I haven’t played it in probably at least two decades, but I used to love Wacky Wheels. I believe it’s on Steam now, too.
That’s what the LNP are like
here in Brisbaneeverywhere.
Fixed that for her.
They could probably save themselves a fair chunk of money if they stopped plastering their faces on everything they can. You won’t see a sign or flyer advertising a service the council provides without the faces of Schrinner and usually the local LNP councillor as well.
That would be a 23 kg bike. That’s crazy heavy. It’s more than double most bikes’ weight, and triple the weight of a racing bike.
It’s actually not that crazy. E-bikes tend to be at least that heavy. Mine is 30kg. In our example of a fat man riding a bicycle, he’s probably more likely to be riding an electric bike anyway.
I’m guessing you mean the original Most Wanted. That game was excellent. I think the ‘special place in my heart’ is probably reserved for NFS 3 (which I played the absolute shit out of and was the first NFS game to include cop chases) or the first one just because it introduced me to the series. Most Wanted though was the last good NFS game in my opinion. I lost interest when Underground came out, but when the demo for MW was released I played it so much I had to buy the game. The soundtrack was good as I recall; I think it was also the last NFS game where I didn’t immediately mute the music.
And yeah, the police pursuits were really good in that. Hard enough to be a challenge, but not so hard that it was punishing.
On a similar note, Full Throttle is my favourite game ever, and has been since I first played it. I love everything about that game.
The replacement’s job isn’t to fix the problems, just to make it seem like they’re doing something.
Mostly it’s through recommendations from friends, or when I frequently see people talking about a particular show in a community. For example, I discovered Hacks thanks to people in the Frasier subreddit frequently talking about how amazing Jean Smart (who was in several episodes of Frasier) is in it (she really is.)
The “Can it run Crysis” thing was purely about the fact that it was one of (if not the most) resource-intensive games out at the time. I remember it being a big jump in terms of both visual quality and the requirements to run it well.
I haven’t liked a Need for Speed game since the original Most Wanted (and that was the first one since Porsche Unleashed.) I’ve played a few since and some were okay, but none of them have grabbed me the way the old NFS games did. I spent more time playing any of the first five NFS games individually than I have playing all of them in total since MW.
The Last of Us is definitely about the story. If you’re not invested in that, you’re probably not going to enjoy it. There’s nothing much in the gameplay that sets it apart from similar games.
What made me quit Mirror’s Edge was the combat. I was in it for the parkour; I didn’t really like the combat and kept being forced to fight people. Because of that, I didn’t get far enough in the game to get sick of the mechanics.
I haven’t played Wasteland 2, but I quite enjoyed Wasteland 3. I’ve played it through a couple of times. Might be worth giving it a go?
One should always properly research the issue and come to a decision based on logic and humanity. That said, starting from the assumption that she is wrong is generally a sound strategy.
Apparently some people don’t like that you asked that question.
I honestly couldn’t say. Usually I’d be able to give you a definite answer one way or another (and maybe my answer would be different if I’d played the game first) but I don’t think there’s a huge difference. Maybe just go with whatever you get a hold of first? That said, you can never go wrong with experiencing the source material first; at least not when the adaptation is of a similar quality. You’ll have a good experience either way. It really just depends on whether you want to watch the show and say “oh that’s how they did that in the show” or play the game second and say “Oh, that’s what it was originally like!”
Nokia dragged their feet on smart phones and paid the price. The fact that they went with Microsoft when they did start making smart phones almost certainly didn’t help matters, but they were already way behind at that point.
