    You guys I'm shilling for my friend's kickstarter. They are a great group of people, their synthpop is infectious fun, and if you can find it in your hearts to donate a few dollars that would be lovelyyy

    better break that, friend. There's a blanket ban on [linking to] kickstarters

    More seriously, I feel like PA Report isn't on anybody's jock with regard to the games they cover, or the other articles you see posted. PA is a brand I trust, and so the Report acts as a trusted proxy for me.

    Until somebody breaks that down for some reason (including the Report itself), I guess I am defaulting to liking it in the absence of any reason to the contrary.

    Ben Kuchera has proven himself to be kind of a dick on Twitter. But as for PAR itself I can't really comment because I don't read it, but as I understand it from other people it's ok for the current state of games journalism.

    Well, the idea is to be able to switch between standing and sitting for when I'm feeling lazy. Also for when I lay down I wouldn't want the monitors to be too high.

    Sadly it was just like, a month ago that I put my monitors on wall mounts that aren't height adjustable unless I get real DIY.

    Also, I watched the Nostalgia Critic for the first time in a looooong time. When I stopped he had gone from a decent schtick that was starting to get tired, to now, where he is utterly devoid of talent and just shits out a new video for ad revenue.

    he tried to quit being the nostalgia critic because he's tired of the character but everyone kept demanding he come back, and he went to film school so its either that or starve to death

    I actually like Nostaligia critic more after his comeback than I did before. It seems like (to me, anyway) that he's trying new things, so it's not as tired as it was.

    Why is PA a brand you trust? As they've become more of a brand, I've found myself trusting them less.

    I don't react negatively to success!

    The fact that they're building a business by providing things I like to consume is a positive development for me.

    Man the onion's "in 30 years no one will be electable" thing is crazy

    Like I'm imagining if I ran for office in 15 years, people would find my internet history and all my off color dick jokes will be up there, plus a few in poor taste rape jokes from further back, and worst of all my support of Ron Paul from back pre 2003

    And I'm fucking clean compared to most people good god

    I'm imagining the presidential race 2056 where they play candidate smith's xbox live audio from 2010 where he uses every racial and sexist slur known to man and candidate johnson's period when he was a freshman where he tweeted his dick to everyone

    In 30 years no one will be electable because private companies and the 1% will pick who gets to be president without elections.

    Dang it guys, why do we have a network team to set up our servers if I still have to go and install sql server and IIS on it myself?

    But I guess you can pay me to get frustrated and stumble through this stuff instead of the people who know what they're doing.

    It's not a negative reaction to their success. It's a negative reaction to the branding. I don't really want to see Vanilla go away and be replaced by "PA PHPBB". Or have PA become an institution 25 years from now that's no better than EA with Origin.

    I guess it's inevitable. As you succeed, you must become more and more noticeable in order to keep succeeding.

    there is one Baba rumour that needs to be cleared up. Is it true that he used to sneak into the Honda factory, go to the production lines and write messages to future Fireblade owners?

    “Ha, yes that is true. Just on 2004 and 2005 models. I would write ‘ride safe’ and ‘enjoy’ in Japanese on the inside of the fairing.”

    The way each character is written is dependent on the one before it right?
