we all met up at skippy's hotel room, saw Underworld in 3D, went to a mexican food place / bar and sat up on the roof looking at the ocean and we ate burritos with sour cream and french fries in them in and drank several preposterous drinks while they played Deee-lite and US3 and such.
Then we got assorted foods room serviced and watched some missing episode of the Chapelle Show.
I'm gonna go out and drink today, I have decided. I'll either run into someone I half-know who is out drinking, or I'll run into someone I don't know at all who is out drinking.
Julius has very odd standards for US demographics. I mean, it's not wrong to think that a country with 75% Christians is really Christian, since that's a largely subjective qualifier, but it's still really odd to me that he thinks that.

Or you'll drink alone and your tears will be all the company you need.

Well, the US does seem very overtly Christian in general. In a similar way to that in which Spain or Italy appear very Catholic.

my aunt's fiancee- who is fat and loves all food- legitimately orders chinese every time just because the dude who answers the phone at our local place is awesome.
him: what's your number
us: it's blahblahblah
him: oh, [our address]! WHAT CAN I GETCHA
but it comes out like WUTCANAGETCHAAAAAAA
and it's a funny accent and he's so friendly
sometimes we put it on speaker phone and silently die in fits of laughter

I used to live around the corner from a great Chinese delivery place. They offered cinnamon-sugar donut holes for dessert, which, it turns out, are ideally eaten with chopsticks.
One of the few things I miss about living in town.
Yes,... yes, I agree. It's totally unfair that sober you gets into trouble for things that drunk you did.

I should play that again. But you guys say there is a new patch coming?
Well, within the next month maybe. But it will be buggy and there won't be any tutorials that cover any of the new additions. You're best off playing either 40d which is old but stable and has a lot of tutorial options or the latest version which will make it easier to play the later versions and there are some tutorials.
I actually don't know what's going to be in the next patch besides sponsor animals.
Selecting across z-levels man! That is going to change the world.
The rest is mainly nonsense that won't turn up outside of world gen.
Although there will be a new system in place so dwarves can "go missing" and other dwarves can investigate. The answer could be vampires. Or Dwarf AIDS.

I'm playing Mass Effect 1 for the first time. Fuck the controls. No way to zoom out, conversation options are not hotkeyed to 1-9 like in SWTOR and the controls of that dune buggy are just retarded.
is there a way to play this game without having to pay attention to the other party members? I find it annoying I have to keep pointing them towards cover, never mind telling them to use a special ability.

Just ignore them, it makes the game no easier to keep them alive. Don't do any side quests or explore random worlds, they're all super boring.

OK so is this one of those "it's a good game if you ignore the following spreadsheet of features" GOTYs?
According to the California Highway Patrol, the northbound gravel truck, traveling in the fast lane, struck the BMW from behind and then careened off a bridge and into the creek adjacent to the freeway, where it burst into flames, killing the truck driver.
"The BMW was then forced into the center concrete wall where the three parties in the BMW became trapped in the vehicle." said Officer Danny Maher, California Highway Patrol.
Inside the car was Kelli Groves, 36, Sage Groves, 10, and Milo Groves, 10 weeks, and one by one they were extricated from the vehicle that clung to a concrete guardrail above Nojoqui Creek in the Three Bridges area. A team of Navy Seabees happened to be passing by the scene, and the fire crew used a Seabees heavy forklift to stabilize the dangling car.
HOLY CRAP.
But they all lived right? RIGHT?!!?

I wrote the game off first time I played it. Turns out the optional content is just dreadful and it's actually fun if you gun through the main story without stopping. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

I've found that squadmates do tend to go to cover, though not always, and they'll try to shoot through cover when enemies are on the other side. As for powers, make sure you have them set on active in the options rather than on defense only or disabled. And yeah, for your first time through, most of the sidequests aren't that fun, except Wrex's armor, the geth invasion, Helena Blake, and the moon.

It turns out that one of French Girl's nephews reacts very badly to animals that don't confirm to his established understanding of zoology. While playing with Duplo, he went mental when I put an elephant head on the back of a crocodile.
Repeated permutations of Duplo chimeras resulted in me being told that "I'm not funny" and I should stop doing "things that aren't real".
It was great. He also has a real monster waiting for him by his bed. It's a giraffe/crocodile/elephant/boat/car/tree

71% of the UK is nominally Christian and there is a state church, yet the UK is undeniably substantially more secular than the US
I think he's trying to get at the notion that the US is more religious in some sense, but reported religious belief is a bad proxy for this
In Sweden you got an automatic membership in the church at birth up until the late 70s. Almost nobody bothered to formally leave it.
I think the Church of Scotland more or less assumes you're a member of the church whether you are Christian or not. This is why so many people get married and have funerals in CoS places even though they're not congregation members.

b-b-but I couldn't recognize a single one of those sidequests without prior knowledge of the game?

Hmm. I'll maybe give that a go, then.
I think my initial attempt on it was also hindered by the fact that the quick character generator gives you the least interesting character imaginable.
