    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    In case you got the demo with avideogame mag, a good clue would be knowing which one. A number ofvideogame mags are pretty well archived, so unless you got it with some obscure fanzine, it might be possible to find the title of the game that way.

    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    I did some google-fu for PCgamesfeaturing a caveman and while I found half a dozengames, none fit the bill, with the exception of a lone forum post about a guy looking for the title of a caveman survival game that had a day counter of some sort. The guy only played the demo of the game and had...

    While not officially announced, the Korean rating board got an application for a Gravity Rush Remaster for PS4. When and where? At the very least, in a not so distant future in Korea.

    It should be mentioned that all words in all languages are made up (or borrowed from other languages) and that all languages constantly evolve (unless they are dead and/or extinct). So a rebuttal based on some sort of idea of a static language is non-sense or deflection. I don't see you getting...

    What did you just read?

    Just read the first tome of a trilogy (only the first book available atm) of Le livre et l'?p?e by french fantasy author Antoine Rouaud. For once this is also available in english (and spanish and german and dutch):The Book and the Sword: The Path of Anger. Nothing exceptional, but the...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    For me having the X-Men separated from the rest of the Marvel franchises was a blessing in disguise, because they are synonymous with 8764864 lame characters with lame powers. Smuggling the concept back in by calling it "inhumans" does not change that fundamental flaw, as demonstrated by this...

    What is the typical life cycle of a gaming exploit?

    Another thing is that what is or isn't an exploit can be a very grey area. I mean in EQ it was considered legitimate to warp stuff through walls and in early WoW we got some warnings and suspensions, because we used a run speed split to pull Golemagg and his dogs in Garr's room... a pretty wtf...

    My understanding is that even if he did not touch Oscar he could have gotten a red just because it's a dangerous play. I agree that, once in motion, he did his best to not send Oscar to the emergency room, which is commendable, but, sadly for him, too late.

    Funny(?) Strange, Random story (with pics). In the thread in the Movie House about the next Avengers film, there was a joke about Itzena possibly pretending that the Brits invented cinema. That made me want to throw Muybridge in the mix, as that british scientist is one of the forefather of...

    David Luiz taking a yellow for pretending he got headbutted was also pretty lol worthy. He did that just after a tackle from behind by Diego Costa that was as dark as a yellow can get (while Ibrahimovic got a very light red - but a fair one since he had both feet off the ground). Anyway, there...

    Yeah, it's gimmicky in the sense it is technically impressive, often clever, but meaningless. And since they massively cheated to make it seem like it's a continuous shot while it is not, a lot of the tension that comes with this kind of form (very present in a movie like the recentFish & Cat-...

    I have not seen American Sniper, Selma nor The Theory Of Everything, but Birdman is by several orders of magnitude better than the other nominees. Even with the avalanche of clich?s, dumb discourse and gimmicky film making.

    Planet Fitness loves trannys

    Suddenly the unisex locker room at the training center I go to makes a lot more sense. It's a regular locker room (in addition to men and women locker rooms), but with changing stalls and shower stalls. The funny thing is that I thought at first it was maybe designed that way for foreign...

    the economics of suffering in boston

    Now that it's rickshawed I would like to take a moment to say this is possibly the best thread title ever. It sounds like a movie or book title (Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead) or of a brilliant piece of investigative journalism.

    Planet Fitness loves trannys

    It seems to me running a fitness center is a strange endeavor because it's in the interest of most of your clients that there are as few clients as possible. It's like the opposite of poker: Poker players want more people playing poker because it grows the money pool they win money from, fitness...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    For comedian + political acumen an idea that has not been mentioned yet is Kal Penn. Drawbacks: he is an actor, not a stand up comedian and he worked for the current administration. That's a bit much, even for fake journalism! More realistically: Wyatt Cenac.
