    #13 should have put the krang belt onto Adam Levine, imo. The TMNT pendant in me would also like to point out that there's no Krang in that picture, as he's been replaced by Adam Levine's head. But well done.

    #16 probably felt sooo pleased with him/her-self when they realized what their two things could mean.

    #15 is some kinda nightmarish cereal induced fever dream. kudos to the creator.

    Part 2 in the case of Taste and Language vs. Penny Arcade Forumites:


    5. Grey, Waffles, Muffin Cosplayer

    Now, just hold on just a ding-danged second. As a (completely un)accredited English language teacher, i must point out those are cupcakes, not muffins!

    We call shenanigans!

    Shenanigans!

    Well in my defense, the image had to include a muffin cosplayer, so I placed one in the distance, holding the sniper, the rest of them are just extras. I added them because the image would have been pretty boring otherwise, since there wasn't much material I could work with. Not all of them are muffins but at least some are. :biggrin:

    Muffins are made with bread flour and never have frosting, sometimes they have fruit. Cupcakes are little cakes and can be frosted.

    Hmm. It would appear I've managed to save up just enough money to upgrade my pc's GPU, hard drives, PSU and maybe some case fans. But do I go for the GTX 970 4GB or wait until a 6GB or 8GB version is released? I'd hate to buy the card and then next year all the new games suddenly need 6GB vram.

    I might just wait. I've already waited this long so what's another year?

    I think that, more importantly, the question is: what's your monitor resolution and refresh rate?
    [email protected]

    You're fine with a 970 4GB. That's what I'm running with at 1080p/144Hz and I have zero issues. Yeah, there are some games that I don't want to run godlike textures on, but I don't think it's a huge deal. YMMV.

    muffins > cupcakes.

    I eat 1 (maybe 2) cupcakes and I'm done.

    But I could eat a baker's dozen of muffins and be ready for more.

    Hardest part of finishing a muffin is not immediatly reaching for another muffin.

    If you do wait, Heatwave, Nvidia is launching their Pascal lineup next year. It's a fairly significant change in architecture that sounds quite exciting. I think that's when I'm going to upgrade.

    And speaking of case fans, I just bought some Noctuas. Loving these things. Pain in the ass to install, though.

    So it takes just one or two cupcakes to satisfy you, but 13 muffins, and somehow muffins are better?

    I expected that to be the "logic" somebody would use.

    And if by, "satisfied" you mean: "Sick of the sugary sweetness of cupcake and buttercream frosting." Then yes, 1-2 cupcakes satsifies me. :razz:

    I just figured out a neat thing with Steam that I didn't know. Apparently if you've been gifted something but haven't accepted it yet, it still shows up in your library with an Activate button instead of Install or Play.

    I was going through the Grid view just seeing what sounded good to play when I saw a couple of games I knew were in the gift pile and thought for a second that I had wishlisted games I already owned, but thankfully no.

    @Khildith gifted @Big Classy a multiplayer game. Isy then goes to check his library, sees that he has it, and cancels the gift sending it back. Since when you receive a gift it shows up in your library, and he didnt know that, he didn't actually own the game. Khildith then sent the game to someone else, and Isy wasn't able to join us in the coop game. It was pretty amusing.

    Yeah, that was a slam dunk for the easiest combination I think so far. Probably just google searched Rick and Morty wall papers and called it a day.

    Part 5 in the case of Taste and Language vs. Penny Arcade Forumites:

    Deliberations continue and the field of candidates for Most Guilty has been narrow considerably.

    Being the cruel and heartless judge that I am, I'm going to dismiss those who are not Most Guilty in groups, a few at a time. Because everyone loves suspense, amirite?

    (Please do not read anything into the order in which entries are dismissed - first announced does not mean you were worst and first tossed. I'm just picking out of the list.)

    Remember, the task was to find or create an image including one assigned color and two assigned THINGS.

    With all that said, the following entries (names withheld to protect the not-most-guilty) have been sent home, but thanks for playing - all the entries were great fun to look at!

    (click for images)
    17. Blue, Robots, Dire Wolf
    18. Green, 57 Chevy Bel Air, SWAT
    19. Dark Blue, Carl from the movie Up, Lacy Doily
    20. Cerulean, Puppet, Totem Pole

    (again with the goddamn blue)

    Well my friends, it's about that time again. A week from now I'll have aged another year, and 2 or 3 days after that I'll have my 10 year badge. It's been another great year with all of you, and I'm glad you've been able to tolerate me for another year.

    You know what that means?

    That's right, in keeping with what I've done the last few years, one of you will get a gift this year. This is the game and expansions, and hopefully the last of the Free DLC will be out by the end of next week.

    Since at least 5 of you jumped the gun over the last two weeks in gifting me stuff (for shame), I figured I'd start this early instead of a 24 hour giveaway.

    From now until 12:01 Eastern on Sunday the 19th, I will not retaliate, and you won't be at the mercy of The List. Just don't get out of hand, okay? You know who I'm talking to.

    Here's to another year of gaming with all of you classy people. =)

    I picked up Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 recently.

    I'm not sure if anyone is actually interested in this game, but I though I'd give my thoughts on it.
    I only put about five hours into it, so I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I haven't seen/done yet.

    First off, this is one of those odd European simulation games. You're a car mechanic. You fix cars.
    No jetpacks, no fire breathing dragons, no guns.

    At the start you're dropped into your garage. There's no tutorial. Occasionally when you look at a menu, or try something out there will be a brief tooltip about what that particular feature does. This can hamper your enjoyment. For example I spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how to order parts. I should have seen the obvious, that you use your computer to search for, then order parts. Makes perfect sense in retrospect.

    But, you say, how is the repair portion? You know, the actual meat of the game! At first, everything is deeply confusing. First, you look at the repair order. In the beginning it tells you what parts need to be replaced. You go over, select the proper view mode, and start clicking on parts. In one mode, parts can be inspected. In another mode you can disassemble parts. In another you reassemble. So, basically it goes, find the problem, remove bits until you can remove the problem part, replace and reassemble. Later more difficult jobs appear, that give you a general idea of the problem, and you need to search for the bad parts yourself. Eventually you wind up doing bodywork as well as other repairs. Also there is a point where you can buy, repair and resell cars, but I haven't gotten to that point yet.

    The layout of parts is somewhat simplified. There isn't any wiring that I've seen so far, and I haven't had an interior job yet. These things may happen later though. As you do more jobs, you gain experience. This allows you to have access to more tools, more in depth jobs, and different kinds of cars to work on.

    I'd say I'd recommend the game. It's oddly calming and soothing, while at the same time providing an interesting challenge. It does have a demo, so if you're interested, try it out!
