    It's super accessible because any which way you choose a bracket is valid. Office pool winners often never even heard of the teams before.

    that's p solid i think

    i bet she's on board

    doesn't her dorm literally have communal pancake mix?

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    Ok, yeah.

    So The secret world, Vanpire the masquerade and parasite eve series. Cool.


    Horror is definitely not a genre, it's a theme. Any genre of game can be horror themed

    Look at the list of teams.

    Well I get that :P

    But I mean, many America-specific sports leagues are still popular discussion topics up here

    Or, like, the World Cup, which Canada is never in

    Not as much interest in college basketball, I suppose

    Hm, that's more of a game with a strong horror element rather than a horror game outright, which broadens things a bit.

    Oh man, En Passant pisses off people so much. In casual pickup chess games I have done that and had people argue that I can't do it because it's not a "normal rule" or some nonsense. Yes it is! It totally is!

    People do not like losing or suffering a blow because of lack of rules knowledge. Because it sucks. It's almost worth mentioning at the start of a game so they know.

    En Passant : chess :: "Damage on the stack" : Magic the Gathering

    Fucking mana burn.

    i started playing hearthstone and my favorite thing to do is to make people lose by running out of cards.

    it's like they thought they were playing one game and I was playing another the entire time.

    Milling is my favorite playstyle in Magic.

    You're a monster

    @desc do you remember witching in call of duty


    that was meeeeeeeee

    Blops Tres is my first cod so I dunno what this means

    I assume it means you are a garbomonster though

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHXu6uaQisk

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od-Jh0w-B_c

    it became less and less effective i think as the series went on. but it was called witching in the earlier games because left for dead was popular then and the witch ran out you really fast and killed you in one hit. the amount of mean messages I received for "not playing the game right" was hilarious.

    After all, Hellboy is red.

    And you never hear about the wives and children of all the Nazis you gun down in Wolfenstein.

    Forbidden Forest was scary in its day.

    It had the whole fatality thing down and clunky panic inducing controls sealed the deal.

    What's a pure horror game, tho?

    Like, FPS is a genre, there's pure FPSes, but are there pure horror games?

    I don't think it's possible to make a horror game without merging it with a real genre.

    I also disagree with your assertion that Horror is a theme rather than a genre.

    Vampires and werewolves and stuff don't automatically make something a horror game. A horror game is designed to be scary. VtMB wasn't, really.

    I didn't know VTMB wasn't scary, I assumed it was since I assumed it explored themes of losing one's humanity and all that.
