    The only thing better than cheese in the general vicinity of olives is cheese inside olives

    japan robbed a 247; the clerk ran out of the store and was mowed down by the cop car coming to investigate :lol:

    I was running around, punching people and running away. Eventually, someone called the cops and they pull up to the intersection where I parked my car. As I'm opening the door and about to get in, the cops start shooting. BUT! They don't manage to hit me even once. They did, however, take out two pedestrians that started to panic when the shots started.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
    The current lore of the Mass Effect universe is pretty much fucked thanks to the ending decision. They really, really shot themselves in the foot, it is so hard to start a story from it. And they have well established the quick rise of humanity among the stars and pretty much all important events in them, meaning prequels are pretty much out (If you want humans to feature at all).

    My best solution is: Move it to Andromeda. It's a new galaxy, conveniently about 20x as far away as ours, within plausible range but not in range of ME tech, so you move the timeline forward.
    Bonus: You get to introduce a ton of new aliens while keeping the old one, you can write conflicts with much more freedom (Maybe make some hamfisted colonial statements), and then maybe reveal that this Galaxy has some horrible secret too, and if you don't act soon enough it'll go back to the Milky Way. But you're cut off from home due to the long travel time, so you have to work it out without huge backing!

    I'm in a really crappy depressing mall

    But they have these like, magic pictures for sale 50% off outside some completely unattended store called oriental arts and crafts selling little Buddhas and fans and such

    It's the kind of picture where when you walk by, depending on your angle it shows different things. But it's the most bizarre one I've ever seen.

    One of them is like, dolphins, other angle is dolphins from a different angle. Another is elephants in Africa that becomes a stalking cheetah.

    This one is Marilyn Monroe, James dean, Elvis Presley and frank Sinatra in a bar. The other angle is Wrestlemania 24 with the Big show, triple h, John cena, edge, etc


    What is this

    Why does it exist

    Why does the sticker say it will make a great gift

    you actually feel like you are in a world, doing stuff, interacting with other players who are doing their own things, living their own lives

    the gameplay is actually fun and dynamic instead of auto-attacking ten boars for their livers

    it turns out you don't actually need a "massive" world with thousands of players simultaneously running around to actually feel immersive

    a dozen or so is enough

    I'm in a clients home which has a 3D Eagle picture (framed, dark stained fake wood, classy as fuck).

    If it matters: Clients home is a stereotypical Native American house on a stereotypical reservation.

    bounty hunting in GTAO is amazingly fun

    either as the hunter or the hunted

    sometimes when you steal high end cars the NPC owners will put bounties on your head for it

    i stole a car because i was too lazy to call my mechanic to deliver my personal vehicle, decided to do some clothes shopping

    while i am shopping, i am informed that there's a several thousand dollar bounty on my head

    suddenly, like 6+ white blips on my minimap change course in unison and start rapidly approaching my location

    other players

    i pay for my merchandise

    sigh

    exit the store, don my body armor underneath my new jacket

    take out my rifle

    and prepare

    most of today i have just been playing golf by myself, trying to improve my game a bit

    came out of a game a while ago and a guy was standing there having just finished his own game, and we got into chatting about our scores and shared tips and stuff

    good times

    then in the distance we heard an explosion, some dude was being chased by the cops and was tossing explosives from his car

    we had a good laugh

    God that mall stinks

    The store I wanted to go to was locked up because its one employee was on lunch break. When I finally get in, the debit reader is broken. I get cash, come back, and don't even get my exact change because the register doesn't have enough in it

    if you own an apartment in GTAO (or are visiting someone else's) you can watch TV, which includes news reports on local criminal activity. If someone is currently being chased by the cops, you can watch a live news chopper feed of the chase. Sometimes this is really entertaining!

    no, currently the only food you can eat are convenience store snacks

    they plan to expand that, though
