    The shrink ray in Duke Nukem 3D multiplayer. Nothing better than shrinking some sucker down and casually squishing them with your heel. Honorable mention to Holoduke. Loved watching idiots fire RPGs at my holoduke while I took aim from a safe vantage point and splattered their asses.

    Shaving

    Several years ago this thread convinced me to switch from overpriced Mach 3 style shit to a double edge safety razor and razor blades. I tried a bunch of different razor blades and eventually settled on Astra, as those tended to give me the fewest cuts and the closest shave for my skin type...

    Fighting games were always shit on Genesis because the basic controller only had 3 buttons + start. It wasn't enough.

    I feel sorry for people who never had SNES as kids. My friend grew up in a Genesis only household. The other night we were drinking and playing some retro games, and he was like "Let's play a great old racing game" and he opened up this awful shit on Genesis called Combat Cars. So bad. He never...

    That looks amazing. Zaxby's is one of those places I'd kill for to have one in this area. Generally we're pretty good in central MD for fast food, but I'd love a Zaxby's and In N' Out Burger.

    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    I powered through the final few parts of the game while I had time off over the holiday. This was my first Phantasy Star game, so it was an interesting experience. I played old-school style without any save states. Things I enjoyed: - Aspects of the story/world: I mentioned before how I love...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I absolutely loved this movie. I went in completely blind by avoiding as much info as I could. I'm not a huge star Wars fan, but it was just a super enjoyable time. I've skimmed back over this thread just now and I'm not surprised to see so much rage. Bunch of nerds.

    My family and a few other people I know put Mayo on meatballs covered in marinara and cheese. I think it's a trashy Italian American or regional thing maybe.

    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    Yeah, after my party got wiped out I realized I probably had to use the psycho-wand. In one of the Square RPGs a character would have commented about the psycho-wand before or during the fight, or when you whiff on an attack it would have a message hinting at why. Really though, my main gripe...

    I was in the basement of Zio's fort, working my way towards the Nurvus center. I take a step, a cut scene starts, and Zio appears and begins battle without giving me any option of escaping. He seems immune to all my attacks and insta-kills my guys in a single attack. Earlier in the game a...

    I'm not sure I've ever actually had a "regular" taco Bell item. They do so many and so frequent specials that I always end up getting whatever the current one is. I guess Doritos locos tacos might be the only staple I ever get, but that's always in addition to whatever the special is.

    I've never had ketchup chips, but my boss is Canadian and we were chatting at lunch today. The topic of chips came up, and I told her my internet friends said ketchup chips are good. She excitedly exclaimed that they're awesome and that my internet friends are right.

    Good recommendation. I picked up a bag of these for dinner last night. Surprisingly, I thought they were pretty decent. To me, they tasted kind of like a blend of traditional nacho cheese and spicy sweet chili. I thought they had a good cheese flavor with a hint of sweet spice. I'd put them...

    Modeling language mistakes only works if the speaker actually notices the mistake. Generally, modeling (i.e., recasting the language mistake using the correct form) has one of the lowest success rates for correcting the error, because the speaker simply doesn't even realize an error has been...

    Those just recently started showing up at my local grocery store, too. I'd heard about them in Canada for a while, but only the last few months have I seen them here. I quite enjoyed them as well. A very interested mix of flavors.

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    She mentions in the trailer that she killed someone, so it's probably like a guilt-based ghost/hallucination of him taunting or her something. Killing him in the first season was probably a mistake, because I would have loved for him to come back for real as a surprise/secondary villain in...

    Nacho Cheese Doritos are the single best snack chip to ever have been invented. They will never be topped. My feelings on Cool Ranch are well known. I've been devouring Kettle Brand chips lately, and I really wish they were all crinkle cut. Some are traditional cut, and they just don't quite...

    I'd love for them to go the multiple earths route in future movies. The DC tv shows (Arrow, Flash) have done multiple earths really well, so I imagine Marvel could do it even better. Not only would that be a way to get newly acquired characters into the MCU, but it would also give great fodder...

    I put several more hours into this last night. The more I play it, the more I'm enjoying it. I think I'm finally getting used to it and how it is different as compared to most SNES rpgs (read: Final Fantasy). I'm really enjoying the world and story. I love that they are going all in with space...

    Regrets

    When I was a kid I chickened out of going up into the St. Louis Arch. That was like 25 years ago now and I still regret it. Doubly so because my brother went up into it, and he reminds me about it to this day. I need to get back there and do it at some point.

    I hated the reimagining of classic EQ zones. I wanted a sequel to EQ, not a completely different game with nothing in common. I think a lot of people had the same issue. The world was completely unrecognizable, and the only way you would have even known that it was connected to EQ was the names...

    I'll have to try the chili cheese fries next time. Their plain fries were pretty bland, so maybe they're designed to be eaten with cheese and chili on top.
