The Blackangel

I do the same thing a lot. Some games just get boring after a while, no matter how much you love it, if you stick to the path they have laid out for the main story. So I go off and do dishonorable and irrational things just to mix it up. I gotta say it adds a bit of excitement. Until there's something you need to to in that area and you can't get to it because the bounty hunters literally don't stop coming and you run out of ammo killing them. If you don't have a lightning fast horse, you can't get away either. As for what was on the list, the only one I was familiar with was Wirt. But the narrator got it a bit wrong. Sure he's a greedy little prick, but he charges 100 gold to look, not 50. Unless I got a different copy.

Yeah, but if you stand them on end, then you don't have to spend the extra money to buy a cooling pad. Also, in my personal experience, those things don't always do the job and end up adding more heat than they dispel.

Why am I not surprised by this? I would bet that they're making this story up, in order to boost their sales. They don't care about us as long as we buy their shit. Scalpers start buying everything, and we have to add an extra digit to the sale price for the damn thing if we really want one. The Walmart's here all have a full stock, and many different colors for the Switch Lite. I bought one online this year as a birthday present for my girl. It's not hard to do that instead of giving in to the scalpers. Sure it will take longer to get the machine, but at least you can tell the scalper to fuck off, and leave them with a bunch of unmovable product.

This isn't really a skill, but more a universal ability. I wish I could walk.

What is something that drives you absolutely insane about your favorite game? I mean something that just pisses you off? For me it's the drifting in RDR2. The damn horses are always drifting to the right or left instead of going forward like I tell them to do. I can't fucking stand it. It has gotten me killed more than once. I'm trying to ride my horse and it start's drifting to the left, and the next thing you know, I'm in a god damn O'Driscoll camp and get killed before I can even draw a god damn gun. I know it's not my controller, because I just got a brand new one. I wanted the glacier white controller. It's Sony brand, and this also happened with the controller that came with the system. I just want to strangle whatever is causing this shit, but I'm not technologically informed enough to know which part I'm looking for. But then again a bullet to the head might make the machine sweat enough to agree to cut the shit. Or I could offer it a laxative that is about 9mm across. That would give a very interesting, and whole new meaning to the term "Blow it out your ass!"

I think it's a lot of the stunts that would be science fiction, and people surviving a lot of it. Also, the Sci-Fi channel isn't strictly limited to stereotypical science fiction. They show all sorts of stuff. Including documentaries.

I've been wondering the same thing. But either way, it will be at be minimum 2 years (more likely 3+) before I'll be giving any serious thought into getting one. And it's for the same three reasons as always.

That would be both hilarious and a genius move. A huge FUCK YOU to the scalpers. Even better would be if they included a code within the game, that they could track which would lead them to the scalpers and disable every copy they had gotten and scalped. The ones stupid enough to have bought from scalpers deserve the same fuck you as well in my opinion. Because all they're doing is encouraging these same scalpers to continue with their bullshit.

Whether you're into pro wrestling or not, you can't deny that Wrestlemania is one hell of a spectacle. And if you're able to spare the money to get the pay-per-view, it's fun as hell to watch. I've been to several events when I was into it. Nothing televised. It was more of a "passing through, might as well" kind of thing. It had a lot of the big names for the time. Triple-H, Randy Orton, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Khali, Finley, Mark Henry, Kane, and I think Eddie Guerrero was there as well, among several others. That was the two here in town. I also went to the same music festival 3 times that had semi-pro and former pro wrestlers all in the ring together. Zack Gowan was one I was excited to see. I remember Big Show picking him up in the body board and slamming him into the corner post like he was a whiffle ball bat, with his mother screaming at him to stop right there by them. Sabu and Vampiro were part of that wrestling org as well. It was entertaining when no bands were on stage. Actually there wasn't much other than the wrestling and musical performances as far as entertainment. It was a really boring weekend. So why the hell did I go 3 times?

The RDR2 DLC's are more than worth it. It's a code you get with either the special edition or ultimate edition. The difference between special and ultimate is special is only valid on story mode, and ultimate is valid on both story and online mode. But it gets you free horses, free guns, extra side quests and stranger missions, extra items, and lots of other features that aren't available without the code. I bought the ultimate edition on eBay for about $200. It was the only copy that still had an unused code. And I didn't realize it until the game arrived, but I had also bought the steel book copy. So that's an added bonus. So to sum up, it doesn't matter the price, getting that code is more than worth the money.

Definitely. I remember when I was a kid, I was obsessed with basketball, and collected cards like crazy. I was always looking for "that one card" that Topps, or Fleer, or whatever had put out. I would buy dozens of packs every chance I could until I got the one I was looking for. But back in the early 90's that cards were so mass produced, it wasn't hard to get a complete set of any brand. You could pick that up for $10 a lot of the time. When I was younger in the 80's was the time to collect. But I spent all my time unconscious or locked in my bedroom. That kinda made it difficult to collect anything other than concussions, brain damage, and disorders like sociopathy.

I've never played it due to a phobia I have, so I honestly had no idea that it was already remastered.

Hopefully it's just a graphics thing. A remaster instead of a remake.

I've been on several cruises, and hit the casino a couple times. I've also played penny poker a few times. I'm so thankful that I don't have a gambling problem. But you're right. If society is going to do something about gambling addiction, then it needs to go after all other forms of addiction as well. You can't pick and choose what kind of addiction is ok and what isn't. It's like with equality between the sexes. Women want equality where it's convenient and superiority where it's not. Women think they can hit a man and he just has to stand there and do nothing. Um, no. If we want equality we don't get to pick and choose. If I can hit a man, he has the right to hit me back. It's either equality EVERYWHERE OR NOWHERE.

Pepsi Man was one of the craziest games ever thought up. I just want to know what the developers were smoking, where they got it, and if they're willing to share it.

This is dangerous for those battling gambling addiction. It's like putting a game that takes place in a bar with a feature that gives off the scent of whiskey in front of a struggling alcoholic. It can send them spiraling down into addiction. I'm a former addict, and I have to avoid games and movies that have heavy drug abuse, because I could easily end up back in another shooting gallery passing shit around with a bunch of other addicts. Committing burglaries and robberies for drug money. I was there in my late teens and early 20's. I don't want to go back. I'm doing good handling the cocaine gum in RDR2. But luckily for me, there are no drug houses in any of the towns. I know in the late 1800's they still existed, but the RDR2 world thankfully doesn't have any. It's a temptation that the addict and former addict has almost no willpower to fight. It takes either a scare so severe that non addicts can't fathom it, or help from people in their life to beat their addiction. And if they don't have either, the addiction usually wins.

If I knew I would be dead in a year, I wouldn't be playing games. I would just CTB right now instead of waiting.

Arthur Morgan and either Sadie Adler or Hosea Matthews. The second choice is truly a difficult one.

If you don't game online though, then that doesn't really make any sense. The console can still be used to game. Just not online. And there are a lot of games that are super popular that don't offer any online version. Yet they're still successful. There are some that have been on multiple entries into a console franchise. Skyrim is on the PS3 and the PS4 both. So ending "official support" doesn't make the console a paperweight. They will still run any games you have, just not an online version.

I was always bugged by Mortal Kombat. Not everyone in the game is a mortal. When you throw gods into the mix, it ceases to be a tournament in which mortals fight for the future.

Knowledge is the single most important thing a person can possess. And obtaining an education is the path to that knowledge. As long as your education comes to you unbiased, and you receive it unbiased. There is nothing more valuable than knowledge. It is what guides the few forward while the many are going back.

I'm not going to lie, somewhere around here, I'm sure I have something that is brand name. Maybe some jeans, or a top. I don't have anything from Victoria's Secret because they don't cater to plus size women. My jeans are typically Walmart brand. I may have some Levi's or Wranglers, but I don't go specifically for them. My shoes are usually the $10 knockoffs that Walmart sells. They last forever and are comfortable as hell. So I don't see spending $100 on a pair of Nike's that will only last a year or two before they need to be replaced, when I can spend $10 on a pair of knockoffs that last ten times longer. The only thing that I can think for that I go specifically for name brand is gaming stuff. I don't ever buy or use knockoff controllers. A PlayStation controller has to be from Sony. A Nintendo controller has to be from Nintendo. Same goes for Xbox, Sega, Atari, and every other system. But I have no brand loyalty to electronics mostly. I always like Phillips and Magnavox. But I haven't anything from them in years, and to be honest I don't even know if either is still in business. I only drink diet soda and stick to Pepsi products, with an occasional diet Dr Pepper. Coke products actually make me sick, and I don't like the flavor anyway. All sports fans have their team, but I don't think that counts here. I collect Zippos, but I won't buy knockoff lighters. Only Zippo brand from Bradford Pennsylvania. I also collect skulls, but I won't buy replicas. Only real bone. With a rare exception like eagle or other highly protected animals. Then I have no problem with replica items.

I hadn't thought of that, but I was just making a point that scalping something that is in ready supply is more pointless than trying to buttfuck a tree.
