  • It's like playing the Thunderstruck drinking game as a kid, they hit you with a lot in the beginning, but then someone gets stuck chugging their beer. This could definitely be a spiritual successor.

  • Problem is that Sauron looked dope as fuck, and terminators love looking badass, and so they'd immediately take his side. Number one rule of being a terminator is to always look cool.

  • It's the Goldilocks of atars, just right.

  • For some reason, none of that registered. I'm just used to knowing the format, I guess. I'll do better next time.

  • Ha, very much the same. The number of games I own is far greater than the number of games I've played. And like our universe, those two numbers will continue to grow apart in perpetuity.

  • Oh, final thing: I am pretty sure this was the first online PC FPS that modelled that M203 projectiles must travel a certain distance before the explosive charge will detonate

    In SOI this was referred to as the fuck zone, because it was 14-34 meters (this is 15 years ago, memory's hazy). Crude joke, but effective mnemonoic device. Was related to the number of rotations for the round.

    In my civilian life, handled a case before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals related to mortar rounds, and his contracted had been terminated because the paint thickness had an effect on the arming distance.

  • I played this at the same time I played Tribes (renegades always) and this game was a novelty, Tribes was the fun.

  • They need a bigger plane that can just drop a net on the other plane and tow it in to Japan and give the pilot a stern talking to, and then they take the plane apart and send it back in a box. Dismantling the pilot optional.

  • You're in luck then, debts don't transfer!!

  • For real. And nothing against them, but they weren't exactly in a position to be hoarding possessions. They left me memories and recipes, and that's good enough.

  • When I worked at Barnes&Noble as a teen (~2007-2008), my coworker and I would just whip gift cards around at each other. Was a good three months.

  • Yeah, I get a letter in the mail like once a week because some fucking company lost it accidentally, and their penance is sending apology letters.

    So yeah, monitor your credit, I guess. Just sucks when it's credit karma or the like who lose your info.

  • Smedley Butler was a great American.

  • Most important part would be talking about it as often as possible, a la CrossFit or veganism.

  • I went from agreeing with the headline to fuck this guy real quick. I admittedly had never heard of Nothing, because it's a stupid name, and so this decision is par for the course it seems. Just add another name to the Chop List.

  • Sometimes I pronounced Dominos Doe-ME-Noes, to make it sound Italian.

  • I'll actually use ShopRite in a pinch. I just know they're slicing up fresh ingredients there. Anywhere that opens up a container and pulls out meat is a no go for me. But we are spoiled here in the greatest goddamn state on the world, our taxes getting us fresh meats and soft breads with flaky crusts, and a peach iced tea.

  • I didn't have a lot of sense when I was younger, but I had enough to not get a bike. I liked vroom vroom very much. I now drive 2018 Legacy, as befits my dad status.

  • I'd never heard that point and it's really interesting. I drive around the part of NJ that is close to NY, Bergen, Essex, Hudson Counties, and sometimes it's a straight up stop sign at the edge of a highway. And the problem is, there's no other way to go, I'm not cutting through a residential area or nothing, this is me coming from the turnpike onto Rt. 9 or something, massive thoroughfares with insane volumes. And you just do commit and that's it. Terrible design, but with the light you've shown on it, I can understand it a bit better.

  • Driving stick, I would do this all the time. In fact, I'd do it in the left lane, which I would never do, but for the fact all of the lanes are just constant stop and go. I'd leave massive buffers, 20-30 cars, and just cruise 5-10mph, and never stop. I just don't understand why anyone wants to use their brakes at all, I hate using my brakes. I'd rather just coast in perpetuity than feel inertia in any direction.
