    I make facebook games and 43 year old women are the most hardcore, crazy gamers I've ever seen. It's very frightening.

    Hooray today we got power back. I always challenge myself to avoid going over to other peoples houses that have electricity to take showers.

    It's been almost a week, but it's finally time to shower.

    Hooray! My power was out for a bit too (certainly not for a week though. whoa), and a couple friend of mine finally got theirs turned on yesterday.

    I like snow, but gotdayum.

    Yeah I love the moment you realize the electricity is back on. We got a pretty awesome windstorm with 90 mph winds in some spots. It sounded like there was a typhoon outside my trailer.

    Also the G&T isn't that bad, at least I didn't think so.

    Graphically it wasn't much even when it was released, even the game mechanics were a little lame but it had a thick story line and it was the first time RPG elements were plugged into an FPS.

    goddammit. The vomiting ejaculators are bleeding over from G&T now.

    I disagree on the point that I have no fucking idea what G&T is.

    Games and Technology- you know... the game forums here.


    And they're not too bad. But if i hear one more person say HL2 was awful because Gordan Freeman doesn't speak, I will choke a goat with a spoon.

    Make up your own lines if its that important to you.

    Deus Ex is probably good I don't know. It just never locked my interest for long enough for me to experience much.

    I think I'm guilty of "hardcore gamer" pretentiousness maybe? My favourite game is Grim Fandango! I loved it heartily.

    You just get used to it... and drink a lot of water. We train for it too, every unit going to Iraq is required to do "Mojave Viper," which is 5 weeks of training in the Mojave desert which is usually around 100-110. But yeah it is really hot, you do get used to it though.

    Edit:

    I've had the luxury of feeling Iraq in all of it's fucked up seasons. It goes from ball-scorchingly hot in the summer to fucking omg cold in the winter. I actually got to see it snow in Iraq.

    Huh. So is there more greenery than the news lets on?

    I tried to play that last year because it always bothered me that I hadn't, I got through about half a level before it crapped out on some completely untenable XP compatibility issue. I liked what I saw, Lucas Arts fucking rocked back then, now they're a bunch of corporate shills much like the man himself.

    I flew over Afghanistan in the dark last year, I couldn't see shit. Thought you might like to know.

    Apparently being "talked to" and then having a character like Alyx develop romantic feelings for Freeman takes them out of the game.... Go to the "game of the decade" voting thread for evidence of this argument.

    I want to crush the skull of anyone who talks about "immersion" or being taken "out" of a game. This thinking is the new form of "I want to play video games to escape real life and get incredibly offended if I'm ever presented with evidence that real life might actually be better and more believable."

    If you really want to make the big bucks, use a subscription-based revenue model for the game.

    It'd be like a more expensive prostitute you can't have sex with.

    Which ties in nicely to the "wedding ceremony" and "honeymoon" DLC packages.

    This gives me a good idea: We'll make the girl a needy, high maintenance, and petty bitch who doesn't put out, so that way we never have to actually make any content for the marriage or honeymoon DLC.
