    I just looked at this again and I noticed all the little details Gabe put in on that Orc. The Sigma emblems. The mobius strip eyes on the orc emblems. The division symbol on his helmet. The number 5 scratched out and tatooed on his arm.

    Yeah, representing a mobius strip in 2d wouldn't be the easiest thing.

    Fuck long division, we have calculators and maths majors for a reason.

    I have a degree in engineering, I have done more maths most likely that you, I can divide multiple numbered integers in my head or if it is particularly complicated with a sheet of paper.

    I build things.

    I however, have no idea how to do long division.

    Long division = dividing integers with multiple digits

    No long division does involve multiple digits, but they layout is completely different to what I do.

    You can also divide quadratic equations in partially differentiated equations.

    At that stage it gets a little bit beyond what I can do in my head and I start to cry.

    I had you until partially differentiated
    Also I don't know how you do multiple digit division so
    But I hate the way they teach things now because as a math geek and a part-time tutor it's goddamn retarded

    Never link to a wiki article on math please
    My brain shuts down instantly
    The "you" in that sentence referred specifically to Blaket anyways
    Also shit now that I look at that again I do know how to do it
    Just never thought of it as long division

    Um, I love Phantom Tollbooth and all

    it was my favorite book as a kid, in fact

    but I was talking about the Mathematician from Ratchet and Clank, in the picture I posted on the first page

    you're thinking of the Mathemagician

    I only played those games when I was at my cousin's, because they had PS2 and I didn't

    I loved the original Jak & Daxter to bits. Played the whole thing twice, which is pretty rare for me. The second one was ruined by my compulsive need to complete every single possible mission before I moved on in the story.

    I've played them all to different degrees

    deadlocked was maybe the weakest entry in the series overall, but it was the only one that had co-op

    and co-op ratchet is a fucking blast

    Deadlocked is the only ratchet game I played through to the finish, the announcers were the best part

    I need to buy and play up your arsenal, because going commando was hard to control after deadlocked

    arsenal was really helped by the addition of lock-strafe mode

    and yeah, playing them in order is a good idea, since the controls make noticable improvements from entry to entry

    same here, it was soundin' so great and wonderful

    now it will be just shy of wonderful.
    The new changes are pretty inconsequential. I just want the base game to be good.
    Not to blow your mind or anything but I'm pretty sure the gameplay will consist of:

    1. choose a class and make a character
    2. hack n slash with your weapons and cast magic spells at snakes or rats or fish-people or something
    3. take anything you can use or sell from their dead bodies
    4. repeat steps 2 & 3 approx. 10000000 times until you puke

    Wrong, good sir. This game is primarily a pvp game. Though there is said to much "environmental" combat as well. Though it is also said that one will be able to pick what style one wants.

    "Players are not required to participate in PvP combat, and may aid in the RvR war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via PvE content."

    In other words, grinding mobs.

    oh wait there's more:
    Will we be able to loot other players' corpses in RvR?
    Yes! Every player has an independent item table assigned to them that can be looted by enemy players who kill them; however, this item table is NOT drawn from that player's personal inventory. You will never lose items or gold from being looted by an enemy player.

    Okay, then what kind of rewards can you get from RVR?
    Gold, armor, weapons, renown (and, by extension, renown items), the eternal satisfaction of slaying a hated foe, etc.
    in other words, grinding players.

    Man I was between the ages of 3 and 12 when it was on the air
    And the few times I've managed to catch it, it's usually a myth episode and I have no clue what the fuck is going on
    Fortunately, she knew which ones were conspiracy-based and we just watched some of the really good standalones
    Like the one with the woman who lives the same day over and over
    And Roadrunners, with the town that's a cult worshipping some mutant slug thing
