Truly, every line in the clip is delivered with the bravado and conviction of an experienced thespian.

"Gentlemen, this is democrrracy manifest!"

This is the bloke that got me on the penis befoaaa.

"Ooh, that's a nice headlock sir! Ahhh, yes, I see that you know your judo well."

"And you sir! Are you waiting to recieve my limp penis?"

This interview was three years ago. I sincerely hope he is in good health and has many more succulent meals in his future.

HANDS OFF MY PENIS

Not just you. I don't think I've ever paid full price for a Steam game. Some new games enamor me with their flashy graphics and fresh takes on formulas... but I don't see the point in shelling out big bucks for a new game when I can play it 3 years from now for at least 50% off and have the same amount of enjoyment (Realistically, though, I'm just going to replay New Vegas for the 30th time and never touch the new game).

Admittedly, it is nice to experience a game at the same time as the rest of society because then you're part of the buzz and you get to discover new things with everyone else, but that experience isn't worth $69.99 MSRP.

I can see and hear the full video for this as I read

and why is he here? HE LOST!

Super Mario Bros 3. It barely makes the cutoff, releasing jn 1990 in North America. But man, it is something special. I completely understand why people prefer Mario World, but Mario 3 feels like the peak of the 2d franchise for me, and everything after that is just reiterating what it perfected.

Sonic 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3 are up there, too. The first time I played Crash especially, my mind was blown. There are several games that scratch the same itch as Mario and Sonic, but I've not found a single game that feels like Crash Bandicoot. Gamers were spoiled in the 90s. ...unless you bought from a company that wasn't Nintendo or Sony.

This is a fucking good one

I think the decisions in NV are all grey enough to prevent decision fatigue. Oftimes, you're picking the best of several bad options.

So sorry about your friend. Loss can make some things too hard to revisit. I'd not dare to speak for your loved one, but I would say that if I were to pass away, I'd certainly hope my friends played my favorite game. I'd probably take some time off from whatever afterlife there is just to watch.

My unfinished games watching me boot up New Vegas again

LMAOOOOOO

Doom.

People are still making Doom WADs. And have you ever heard of the FPS genre?

That's hilarious. They're really keeping the spirit of the wild west-era internet alive.

Makes a lot of sense lol. I appreciate your usage of ED as a source, I find that reading between the opinions yields some shockingly accurate web history. I remember being shocked at their articles for gay and trans people... and then you read the one on straight people and realize they believe in equal treatment.

Anyone who got a chuckle from this, it's an excerpt from the Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional letters of advertisement for competing fur trapping businesses. Every one of the letters is hilarious, and they become more unhinged as PB Fouke and JF Swanton start really responding to each other's claims. Highly recommend for anyone wanting some of that 2007-style forum humor.

For context, this paragraph is lifted from SomethingAwful's Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional advertisements put out by two fictional fur trappers, who are competing in business.

While one of the trappers, PB Fouke, tries to sell his business on dedication, JF Swanton sells his furs on the promise that he is so cruel of course he's going to have the best furs.

Doesn't make it less offensive, but the point being that it was written in character as a fur trapper from the 1800s who regarded himself as much more cruel than all else.

I'll chime in with the obligatory New Vegas recommendation.

It's so different than Fallout 4 it's really hard to describe. No looter shooter stuff, no focus on clearing the next dungeon. The world is there, it's alive, it's reactive, and you decide what to do and where to go. I've spent many hours scouring the world, and I always find something new. And when I say something new, I'm not talking about a copy/pasted skill magazine or bobblehead. I mean new quests, new lore, new perspectives It's the closest I've ever seen a video game come to emulating real-world ideological conflict, and I adore it. The player freedom is off the chain, too. Hell, you can kill every NPC and still beat the game. Love it, rant over.

You can play New Vegas without mods, and I'd say it actually functions well (everyone's machine handles the game differently though, tbh), but I recommend following this guide, at least the base version, to mod your game. Not strictly necessary, though. I'd hate to recommend you a game you have to spend hours fixing before you can play it.

As for Fable, there's two versions on Steam. Fable: The Lost Chapters is the original Xbox release, and Fable Anniversary is the 360-era remaster. The only real differences between the two are:

1. Fable Anniversary has remastered graphics. (As for if they're better, that comes down to personal preference. I personally like the way Fable: TLC looks more)
2. Fable Anniversary has controller support.
3. Fable Anniversary has an added hard mode.

The controller support makes Anniversary my preferred way to play on Steam, but the remaster kinda destroyed the game's atmosphere. I'd still rather just boot up my Xbox copy of Fable TLC so I can have my cake and, furthermore, eat it as well.

Ah fuck. Now it's gonna be Musk's 20-year-olds in charge of EVERYTHING tech related.

wtf are current events even lmao

Lol are you trying to say I’m being racist towards US citizens?

Nope. There's definitely too much anti-Latin American sentiment here, that's part of why we're in this mess. But I would say a good portion of people here aren't racist toward Mexicans. But, a large part of that same portion just doesn't have empathy for their situation because of a self-focused attitude.

Again, it feels like you're preemptively judging US citizens. We're the evil empire, there's no denying that. But, no doubt, some of us will be the victims when it's all said and done. Just as you are one of the victims of US aggression now, US aggression will eventually turn toward its own citizens. Now, this is me preemptively judging the situation, albeit with more real life experience of our citizenry, but I do think many here will put up a fight on their turf (mostly because of that self-focused attitude mentioned earlier).

That said, if the situation escalates into civil war, there will be plenty of innocents caught in the crossfire - and those are the potential refugees to which I'm referring. Nobody wants you to let MAGA jump ship after they unleashed the plague rats. God willing, that attitude will crumble as it makes DC crumble.

I don't think you're all the worst, I think that your best is rare and that most of you are not nearly as great as you think you are.

Well, you have the general US attitude nailed down at least.

But, I do think you're preemptively judging the situation. Most people who helped perpetrate this will go down with the ship. They still think everything is fine. You're kind of just displaying the attitude most US citizens have toward our southern neighbors - and look what kind of leader that got us.

At least Trump's win was enough of a wake up call to the world that it weakened Poilievre a bit. For now.

Hopefully, in that case, more enlistees than refugees.
