Where shall we assemble and who will bring the baseball bats?
I love that Commonwealthers don't play baseball, but recognize the utility of baseball bats.
One thing I try and slip into every game of Apocalypse World I run (it's a post-apocalypse role playing game) is that the act of beating the shit out of someone is referred to as 'baseballing'
as in, "Ratchet and Barbarossa went to Doppler's shack and baseballed the shit out of him"
because they're called "baseball bats", and that's what you use them for, yeah? I mean, who plays a game with them?
One thing I hope PC gaming takes off these current gen of consoles is downloading games in chunks so like I can download the first 5GB and start playing while it downloads the rest in the background.
Even stuff where if I delete a game but have a save halfway through it will start from where I left off and download that chunk first.
Watching people download MLB The Show 2014 and watching the teams light up as they get downloaded was a funny thing to watch.

It was the strangest thing when I saw a game of cricket on TV and the batsman was holding a bum paddle.

I like when they don't want to pay the royalties on some old song for a car commercial so they play a really vague cover of it. I like trying to figure out what the song is. Pretty sure the last one was Immigrant Song.
oh hai so i am moving away from the beast coast. probably the last time i will get to see any of you east coast people for a couple years is july 4th wkd when i plan on visiting.
it sucks to have my irl best buddies be 2 hours away but i couldn't ask for a better group of see-you-three-times-a-year fairweather friends. love y'all. hope to see as many of you as i can that wkd.
Chu! Are you moving to Denver or the surrounding area? I'm only a couple hours drive from there so I gladly call it a part of my sphere of influence. Don't be a stranger!

I am almost completely certain there has been an incidence of a local council here applying restrictions on the sale of weapons to baseball bats
But I can find no evidence of this, it may have been pre- local papers having any significant internet presence

Some interesting things they found:
When it comes to performance, Nintendo has always aimed to deliver a rock-solid 60 frames per second with each home console Mario Kart and, aside from Mario Kart 64, it has always managed to achieve just that. There was never any doubt that Mario Kart 8 would fall right in line with the rest of the series but upon seeing it for ourselves we immediately noticed that something was amiss. During gameplay we experienced the regular appearance of duplicate frames manifesting as a constant but subtle stuttering effect. Upon analysis we determined that the game suffers from extended clusters in which a duplicate frame is displayed every 64 frames. What this ultimately means is that, during normal gameplay, Mario Kart 8 continually drops down to 59fps. This may not seem like a big deal - most will probably not notice it at all, and it has zero affect on playability - but it has a noticeable impact on image fluidity that mars what would otherwise be a perfectly consistent frame-rate. And for us at least, once it is seen, it can't really be unseen.
And the multiplayer:
Unfortunately, two-player split-screen operates in much the same way, suffering from the same frame-rate disturbances of as single-player, provided CPU racers are enabled of course. It's with the three- and four-player modes that things become even more fascinating. At first glance the four-player split-screen mode appears to operate at 30fps, but if you look closer you'll notice something interesting: the HUD updates at 60Hz. Digging deeper we were able to determine that the complete image is still updated 60 times per second with the top and bottom sections refreshing on alternative frames
.
By most standards, Mario Kart 8 is an incredibly polished game with beautiful visuals, a high frame-rate, magical playability and an excellent menu system. By Nintendo's stratospheric standards, however, we dare say that it falls just a bit short. When a Nintendo game goes gold you better believe the final product will be complete and polished to perfection. In the case of Mario Kart 8, the issues we encountered with performance and image quality do detract just a little from an otherwise totally solid experience - and bearing in mind its previous, relentless push for gaming perfection, it leaves us wondering just how the stutter in particular managed to slip past Nintendo QA. Thankfully, the issue should only really stick out to those most sensitive to frame-rate and shouldn't impact the experience for most people, while the sheer fun and imagination injected into this title clearly trump the technical limitations in the image make-up.
with this and that parts of Smash U operate at 30 FPS while the fighters always operate at 60.

There is a large WarmaHordes tourney in my city today and a bunch of guys are staying at my hotel and I took one look at them and said yup they play tabletop games.

Does seem plausible
Get the Twitch job?
Haha, you're behind on your Winky's life updates.
I am moving to Chicago of my own volition.

Word em up. Damn that's going to be one hell of a change of climate. Trench coat and face scarf should do.
Stonewall them.
Tell them you are moving in a month, they can either get a month of your money or they can stick to their six month policy and get zero of it.
I'm from Chicago originally, so I know how it do.
Does that actually work?

Blizzard downloaders do this.
Greatest wedding idea ever.
EDIT: well for me at least.

it is one hell of a demo. Cannot wait for a full MGS game in this engine.
AND THEN THE FIRE ENGINES COULD BLAST "FUCK THE POLICE" AND THEY COULD GET IN HUGE DANCE OFFS
