    Someone might have to provide some context for me here.

    What is this I don't even.

    The context is that he's been punching a guy in a game for half an hour. That's really all you need.

    Is it a PvE thing and the fights are really long, or is he griefing another player in PvP for being a "shitbird" by punching him for half an hour?

    PvE. But really the crime here is that you haven't heard of Gunpoint.

    It's a single player game. You can melee the NPCs. If you do you knock them down and you can beat on them as long as you like. This particular NPC must have made Gabe upset, so he's been beating on him for a long time because the idea of no longer beating on him is inferior to the idea of continuing to beat on him.

    Also, regarding the fan mail post, does that mean that Mike is into MILFs?

    The fan mail post reminded me of this comic:

    Subsequently, it makes me sad about what happened to The Lost.

    Haven't played this game, but reminds me of the ending to God of War III.

    Great comic too. Simple, direct, and quite funny.

    It's a single-player stealth game. You can jump on enemies and KO them with one punch. You can kill them with 10 punches. You can keep punching them as long as you want, either as stress relief or as an outlet for sadistic tendencies. Punching them for a half-hour straight... implies issues.

    (Fun math: Assuming 2 clicks per second & 1 punch per click, Gabe has punched the guard 3600 times. Probably after jumping onto him through a 2nd-story window. God I love Gunpoint...)

    I'm sad that people don't get the reference. Gunpoint is a great indie game. Really, it's more faithful to what I want Watch_Dogs to be than everything I've seen of W_D since last year's E3.

    Lol... can't wait to see what they'll write for the new pokemon type announced, on the upcoming pokemon X and Y. it's hilarious they chose FAIRY as their new type.

    They've specifically mentioned Jigglypuff and Marill as existing pokemon who will be getting a Fairy type, and Clefairy seems another obvious candidate (perhaps too obvious? ...if Game Freak want to troll everybody a little).

    I think they've rectonned a few in the past when new types like dark or steel got introduced but I don't remember specifics, we're going back years in the memory banks here.
