I'd also like to address another misconception. A lot of people assume all marijuana users just want to get super "baked" and completely ignore the vast number of people who are actually interested in responsible usage and microdosing. Not all users are "stoners", they are a small portion who over use.

Well there is that and also some strains of marijuana are designed to highly raise the CBD levels of the drug which impact the medical benefits and reduce the THC at the same time. So if you are say using it to deal with a major physical injury then you want high CBD content marijuana.

Ignoring the slowed reaction times and dimished cognitive thought process and long-term paranoia, no there aren't any side effects *rolls eyes*

You get the same issues as alcohol but that's legal.

Alcohol has way more long term serious problems when used especially if that person uses it often and heavily.

I think both sides of this issue should be in full support of extensive research into the subject. If researchers could prove the full extent of marijuana's benefits while extensively documenting the short- and long-term consequences of chronic use, we'd be able to make a much more educated decision on whether or not legalization was a good idea. Under the current system, we're largely flying blind (which is why I tend to base my opinion on an abundance of caution)..

What's amusing about this is when a drug manufacturer makes a new drug while it obviously goes through testing, the FDA, and clinical trials. They sometimes miss something and/or the long term affects of that drug are not discovered. So basically the government wants to be "100% sure" about Marijuana but meanwhile if I own a drug company I can get my drug through faster assuming I have the resources to do so.

most commonly would be ketchup, then mustard and then mayo but i prefer mayo, then ketchup and then mustard.

Kind of sad cause I'd GLADLY ditch a bunch of braindead actors, well, basically anywheres if possible

Which is a terribly silly attitude to have. Those "braindead actors" make far more money than you ever will, and pay far more taxes as a result. If you'd rather have that tax income move somewhere else just because you think the person paying it is dumb (when you don't have to interact with them in any way except to see their public appearances, which wouldn't change), that's very much an example of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Most republicans love cutting off their nose to spite their face, its what they do for fun!

Priority boarding aside, the real perk you should be asking about are airport lounges. They are da shit. After a few visits, you will seriously hate having to sit out at the terminal with the commoners.

Even then, who does that? I sit at a bar and monitor the time until they would be announcing final boarding then I pay my tab and head to the gate.

My biggest question is, why do people want to board 10 minutes early just so they can sit down for 10 more minutes than everyone else? I mean, I will hang around the boarding area, and once they start calling for priority boarding and whatnot, a bunch of other people start lining up for regular boarding.

Like bruh we're going to be sitting for several hours. Why are you in such a rush to sit down sooner?

I usually stand up and stretch for a while, like starting when they call for priority boarding, but don't actually get in line or board until later in the process, even if they call my zone or whatever.

Bonus 1 for boarding early: Early access to the overhead bins which on very crowded flights can fill up.
Bonus 2 for boarding early: If the plane has no assigned seats you get your choice of seat.

Most modern games are not that hard, it blows my mind when people are surprised by that. I mean even handicapping yourself in Dead Rising 3 doesn't really make the game Dark Souls.

But back to your original comment, alcohol is not literally an acquired taste. Stop projecting.

Ehhh. I think you do acquire a tolerance for the bitterness and off flavors of alcohol through repeat exposure. Another important thing is age: people tend to like wine more as they get older. Your taste receptors change over time and make bitter or strong flavors more less noticeable, which makes the drink palatable.

Well thank god you can get drinks that taste like candy and still enjoy alcohol, if Beer, hard liquor, or wine is not your preference. I never became a big time drinker of normal coffee, but I sure can enjoy the sugary drinks they carry at Starbucks.

Most people on this site aren't old enough to remember 1987, even considering the average age of the site's users has gone way up (since the average date of birth has remained somewhat stable).

In the last age poll, only about 13% of the site would have been at least 35 or older (born in 1982 or earlier).

I am in the group that actually owned a NES in 1987 and was able to experience LoZ and Metroid first hand. They are great games but I like the games in 1995 more, it also helps that the PS1 launched in 1995 so that is a pretty big deal.

As much as I love Chrono Trigger (definitely top 5 game of all time) 1987 has a ton of great games, and Chrono is about all 1995 has.

1995 should be losing by a lot.

Earthbound is one of the best RPG's on the SNES and it came out the same year. Phantasy Star IV came out in 1995 also and it's also a damn good JRPG.

2006 is a clear winner for me, while a lot of people missed out on Okami those that have played it realize how damn good it is.

We also have one of the most loathed Zelda's in Skyward Sword vs. one that most people like in Twilight Princess. I am surprised how close this match-up is despite what I consider stronger games overall on the 2006 side.

I guess we have a lot of Dark Souls fanboys voting 2011 just because it has one of the Souls games in the lineup.

and lol at KOTOR at #14. f*** no. nowhere f***ing close.

It's generally regarded as a top 5 RPG (or at least was for a long time). I actually find it sort of overrated myself.

It's a solid RPG and the main plot twist was mind blowing to quite a few. That plot twist I think helped catapult the game up a bit, it also had damn cool characters which helps a lot.

It also has some notoriety as the first RPG in the Star Wars universe really.

Going through that list I saw Betrayal at Krondor. I had forgotten that game existed completely and I'm not sure it belongs on there. I wonder if anyone else here has played it

49 beaten out of 90 played, but Krondor was one of the ones I had never heard of before.

Looking at what people said back when it came out it was a revolutionary RPG and was setting the bar for its day. It's the same as having something like EQ on the list, these days EQ is nowhere near as big of a deal as it was back in its heyday but it still matters historically.

while a lot has been said on the JRPG front, it's Divinity: Original Sin at 90 that seriously stands out as "what the fuck?" when you see the rest of the western love.

the biggest JRPG joke on that list by the way is totally Legend of Dragoon even being on the list.
insult to injury that it's ranked above games like Valkyria Chronicles, Divinity: Original Sin, Illusion of Gaia (where's Terranigma?), KH2, and SO2.

Terranigma is a European and Japanese only game I doubt we see it on their list.

Yeah, the major problem with going by the Japanese release date is most people would get really confused since their memories might be like oh man I remember when I got Link to the Past for my birthday in 1992 type of thing. If the game pops up in the 1991 column then it throws people off.

People might not even understand why when 1992 faces off against say 1988 or something games like Link to the Past are not listed. So basically going by Japanse release dates just makes the whole thing way more confusing for zero benefit.

I still have the original cartridge.

This was roughly my case also, my Dad went out of his way to get games I was really hyped for.

Earthbound on release
Mario 3 on release (We drove around for hours trying to find a toy store that had it in stock.)
Chrono Trigger on release
