"Forgive me audience. I wouldn't harm a fly. But when it comes to mosquitoes, I'm one sick son of a bitch." - Steven Colbert @Godot

speaking of specific numbers... how do you feel about this bit of just released news? http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/04/politics/jeff-sessions-cole-memo/index.html

Well it's them what went down the darkside next to their sith overlord, activision. Gotta keep 'em in check.

Not really sure why but I thought of @Clownpiece for this one. *shrug* Oh, and this one.

Tfw bungie.net forums are pretty flooded in #removeEververse threads and posts and you're like: Most of 'em aren't just simple copy-pastas either.

I feel like the Switch is WAAAAY over-hyped. What did the switch get: Splatoon 2. Neat I guess. I'm sure they added more stuff from the original, but I got burned out of the original. I'm sure it's a good game worth getting if you bought a switch, but not something that made me very excited. BotW. exceedingly overrated. Empty open world with the usual shallow, short LoZ story and simple gameplay. You compare it to something like the Witcher... BotW looks like a game for toddlers. Arms. the new splatoon for nintendo, it probably has deeper gameplay than it first appears, but that's not saying much. It also looks like a lot of fun but also another game that can lose its charm relatively quickly. Catches the eye but doesn't really give me that 'long term gaming' feel. Mario Odyssey. A legitimately good looking game that looks like even I might have fun with it, and I've long since grown tired of platformers both 2d and 3d. Doesn't look difficult but the variety of gameplay and abilities that the one new gimmick gives provides a lot of breadth if not a whole lot of depth. A fun, casual time to be had. A ton of Ports. Ports of old games that have been floating around for quite a while on other systems, some of 'em seemingly since forever *coughskyrimcough*. It's a mixed bag of stuff you've probably already played. Would not buy a switch to rebuy these games. Other things... Cuphead- I personally don't understand the huge draw to it. Old style is the new style and fashion/taste is cyclical. Gotcha. Tell me if I wrong but it looks like metroidvania/megaman reskin, with all the charm and depth is in the skin. Take away the visual style and analyze the gameplay and mechanics without it and... idk, it just looks samey to me. The second coming of metal slug maybe? like platformers, 2d platforming shooters are games I haven't been able to enjoy in a long time. It looks different from what is the norm... but it doesn't play any different. snooze.

@Avatar of Grima or maybe something from here, considering your current avy

We need Mario and other Smash Bros. characters in the next DBZ game. ... What, why are you looking at me like that? Mario totally has a red fireball kamehameha attack that will totally work in the dbz universe! *eye roll* Apparently that one fight ends up being over 4 hours long. They were making and airing the show at the same time Akira Toriyama was making it. Instead of taking breaks and whatnot, they stalled for time while Toriyama tried to finish the story. ^ something I learned from youtube videos yesterday. You should give DB Kai a shot, since they go back and cut out all the filler and stall episodes. I agree, the power creep is rather real and definitely inconsistent later on when they're kinda trying to undo the power creep. Also, the whole androids/future trunks/cell saga is pretty good. I've barely touched Xenoverse 2 myself, so I can't really say how any of your proposed changes would do.

10/10 picture, jerk face perfectly fits the overrate jerk character. Idk why you'd want it as an avatar though, so as an avatar I'll still give you a solid 8.

idk if I can help you. Gen4 is my least favorite gen and I don't like Dark Souls, so you'll have to understand that my repertoire of those things is non-existent. But I did find something that encapsulates the entirety of the dark souls series as I understand it. Oh, and this one seems alright.

Oh yeah. Crash Bandicoot is a terrible series of games. He's a furry dorito with a terminal case of the derps.

FE warriors is very much lacking in story and the gameplay itself can get very repetitive very fast. Get BotW.

Idk, we just use a flea collar and that's been working. For an active infestation, I'd probably combine ingestables with baths using flea and tick shampoo (we used the hose and those cheap plastic kiddie pools). It's also gonna be important to get flea and tick sprays and spray your yard down, especially where your dog likes to lie down- favorite patches of grass/shade, holes, doghouse, etc. While these pests mostly stay on the dogs, they'll hop on and off at these places and it'll make getting rid of 'em hard if you aren't diligent in giving them medication and spraying down those areas. I would even suggest consulting an exterminator to come and spray down your yard for you. idk about the fleas, but you can get tweezers, cotton balls, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide to start removing the ticks manually. Douse the cottonball with either the alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, grab the tick with the tweezers, and apply the cotton ball to the tick to make it let go. Pull it off and smash it on the ground or maybe even run it through a candle flame to kill the tick. It's more ideal for large ticks or smaller number of ticks. If there are a lot of smaller ticks, it'll be long and tedious and who knows how cooperative you can get your dog to be. wish I could vouch for any one particular brand or product, but definitely try spraying your yard.

Since the original is archived... A new Quotes Thread. "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." -attributed to Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Yamamoto has been noted in history as having been against the war with the US from the very start. In Godzilla: Giant Monsters All Out Attack, Godzilla is literally the wrathful incarnation of all the souls lost in the Pacific Conflict (WWII) who arises to take vengeance on the country for wanting to forget the cruelty inflicted on those it conquered during its imperialistic expansion. As there are some people who deny that the Holocaust happened, there are some people who deny the wartime atrocities in the Pacific or would prefer to minimize and downplay it as much as possible in the history taught in schools in Japan and elsewhere. Some interpret the original Godzilla as having an anti-American slant to it. I don't think it's really anti-American. It certainly has been interpreted as a warning against unchecked progress when it come to technology, with various following films having definite lessons about environmentalism. I would say that the view of America in these movies is certainly ambiguous, but never all out just anti-American in any way. It is American bomb testing that creates the monster that ravages Japan in the original. In the reboot, Shin Godzilla, the US has had a part to play in the creation of the monster there as well as influencing a great deal from behind the scenes. Considering the historical roles and the string of events that pulled the US into conflict with Japan during WWII, I'd say the films always had a certain amount of acknowledgement of their own role in events that lead to mass destruction and how the people must come together and change their views and strategies to overcome these monsters. I've always appreciated Godzilla films in a casual, action and destruction loving way, but as I grew older I've appreciated the historical context and cultural viewpoints that each of these movies tell us about during their individual releases. Also, over-simplistic explanation but it gives a bit of food for thought: (I've checked out other videos by this yt channel and many of them are oversimplistic and/or inaccurate [their X country vs Y country vids are actually quite ludicrous and I feel they don't understand a great deal about the weapons and systems they talk about], so just stick with this one for the most part)

the way it works is someone else puts their profile onto your console. If they download games to that profile on your console, you will be able to log into your own profile and be able to play those games. But yeah, as long as you've got a hard copy you can pop it in and play a friend's game that way. Other than that, you can share play, when one person can play a game on their console, then they can share it so that they give you control and you play in their place on your console. So they went one step beyond just being able to observe them playing, but actually take over. There have been instances where people trusted the wrong person and they went and deleted their files or hard earned weapons, etc.

Watching "The Devil is a Part-Timer" on Netflix. So far, I'd have to give it a B- overall. The main plot revolves around the devil fleeing to another dimension/world (ours) as he and his forces are routed by the hero. Since our real life world has little to no magic, he reverts to a body little more than a basic human while storing the rest of his magic in order to return to his home realm. Since becoming (more) human his plan to conquer the world follows the path of trying to attain power by rising up through the ranks of a fast food industry chain (obviously stupid). The 'hero' follows him through his gate to our world only to be faced by the same magical dilemma, compounded with the fact that the Devil now feels emotions (maybe) and it makes it hard for her to kill him, as wells as the fact that he behaves like a decent human being now that he is reduced to being a relatively normal human. There is a lot of absurdist situational humor and tactics in a way that I wouldn't recommend this for anyone to take seriously. If you're looking for a way to pass time, this is okay. I wouldn't recommend it as a good anime in anyway whatsoever. It has way too may trope pitfalls for that.

'All I'm good for is fighting (except he sucks at fighting) but I don't wanna fight'. 'Nevermind that the fate of the world and my friends rely on my compatibility with this eva. I'm gonna bitch out because this thing that other people find easy is hard for me.' Shinji is a base bitch with base bitchout-instincts and no redeeming features whatsoever. kill him with napalm and replace him with someone competent. Pretty sure his headphones and lack of feelings contributed to Minato from Persona 3, though. Except for the lack of outright bitching and moaning, you could say Minato is a spitting image of Shinji, odd as that sounds. Shinji is a weak little shit who has no business being anything. But that was the point. Especially with the way they compared him to Asuka. Plot armor aside, I'd rather watch more episodes of One Piece (and I really hate one piece) than associate with that pile of garbage. Regardless of what people tell Shinji... he has no sense of reality or anything at all and that kills him as a character in multiple senses. Useless trash, through and through.
