| Topic | West Virginia teachers planning state-wide strike |
| Vertania 02/20/18 11:45:32 PM #2 | West Virginia has teachers? |
| Topic | Which museum do I visit tomorrow, CE? |
| Vertania 02/20/18 11:44:07 PM #8 | Both are amazing, but I liked the Met better. Kinda mad we spent most of our time on the western wing (Greece, Africa, Americas) before realizing how much more there was. The Asian and Egyptian wing was the best part imo but we were too tired to see it all. |
| Topic | CE's Official Minecraft Server: Yes, Minecraft in 2018. We have stuff. |
| Vertania 02/20/18 11:03:52 PM #84 | I haven't been able to play in almost a week :/ Like I mentioned on the server, we just had a baby a few months ago, so I only ever get to play on my laptop and for short amounts of time. I definitely plan to get back on when I can though. |
| Topic | Call of Duty: Ghosts sold more copies than Breath of the Wild |

| Topic | For Whom the Bell Tolls vs. Hell's Bells |
| Vertania 02/20/18 10:55:25 PM #13 | Hell's Bells, but it's close. also AC/DC > Metallica |
| Topic | Hey give me a Dark Souls 3 build. |
| Vertania 02/20/18 10:40:55 PM #7 | Non-magic bleed build. Use a hollow-infused Barbed Straightsword with a bleed-infused Bandit's Knife as a backup. Bring Str/Dex/Luck to ~40 and Vig/End to about 20. |

| Topic | Phoenix Wright currently reminding me why I love video games. |
| Vertania 02/20/18 11:28:29 AM #8 | Just finished replaying Justice For All last night. Been about 8 years since my first time, so I had forgotten a lot of the details. I played that Layton vs. Wright game last year, then finally had the chance to play through AAI2. After that, I replayed AAI1 and started replaying the 3DS remaster trilogy. Still never played Dual Destinies or Spirit of Justice, so I'll get to those after the Apollo Justice remaster. |
| Topic | Kingdom Come is so grounding |
| Vertania 02/19/18 9:43:04 PM #2 | It's nice that food and sleep actually have a purpose now too. Then there's the difficulty. I actually died a few times in the intro |
| Topic | NES vs. SNES vs. GBA Mario. |
| Vertania 02/19/18 9:38:06 PM #5 | I'll only play SMB3 on the NES. Had both the NES and SNES versions growing up, but the SNES/GBA graphics just look ugly to me now. |
| Topic | Guys I need a good scary movie suggestions.. (recent ones) |
| Vertania 02/19/18 9:06:26 PM #43 | TheGrindery posted... The Babadook I'll second that Southbound was really cool, but not super scary. Blends together a few shorter stories like V/H/S, but in a more unique way and without the found footage style. The Invitation was also a pretty cool "social thriller." Kind of like 10 Colverfield Lane, but more tense. |
| Topic | When will people realize that they have to enjoy their jobs to make it in life? |
| Vertania 02/19/18 9:57:13 AM #6 | I love my job for the most part, but they definitely don't pay enough. That makes life very stressful. I mean, they require a degree to get hired, but then pay minimum or close to minimum. Hell, they're trying to hire a supervisor and the main candidate has a fucking Master's degree and they want to pay her $30k a year. |
| Topic | Impractical Jokers is hilarious, but makes me so uncomfortable. I literally... |
| Vertania 02/18/18 10:51:45 PM #46 | My sister and her friends were actually recorded for the show before the first season aired, but they were all 17 at the time and couldn't sign the release. It was that "Misinformation Booth" but in Times Square. I remember her describing the show to me and thinking "wow, that show sounds stupid as fuck." My family started watching it anyway to see if they'd air the clip and we ended up loving it. |
| Topic | Best, most overrated and most underrated Zelda game? |
| Vertania 02/17/18 10:10:11 PM #34 | Best: Ocarina of Time Overrated: Wind Waker Ubderrated: Oracle of Seasons |
| Topic | Cash or Nine Inch Nails? |
| Vertania 02/17/18 12:16:11 AM #22 | I don't really care for that song, but Cash in general is a hell of a lot better than NiN. |
| Topic | Did you have National Honor Society at your high school? Describe the kids in it |
| Vertania 02/17/18 12:07:44 AM #6 | Pretty much the usual nerdy, rich, church-going type kids. I had all the advanced classes with them, but I absolutely refused to do volunteer work, so I didn't bother applying for NHS. Think I was in the junior version in middle school though. |
| Topic | Misheard lyrics |
| Vertania 02/17/18 12:03:12 AM #41 | GATTJT posted... War Pigs I spent like two years hearing "treating people just like pawns in chess" as "treating people just like poison chairs." |
| Topic | worst job interviews you've ever had? |
| Vertania 02/16/18 11:58:44 PM #41 | ProfDE posted... Out of curiosity was this American Income? Because it sounds a lot like the interview I had with them. I made the mistake of taking that job and it not working out so now I'm struggling to get by back in the retail business again. I actually can't even remember, but that name doesn't sound familiar. The interview was back in 2012 and the office was in Binghamton, NY. |
| Topic | physical copy of bayonetta 2 is $60 for the switch |
| Vertania 02/16/18 11:51:03 PM #19 | chill02 posted... why is a 3 year old game still $60 Skyrim is 7 years old and it's still $60 on Switch. You can find the original release for like $5 pretty much anywhere and even the "Special Edition" from 2016 was on sale for $25 within the first few months. |
| Topic | The worst Nintendo-made 2D Mario platformer will always be Super Mario Land |
| Vertania 02/16/18 9:01:27 PM #17 | The only 2D SMB games still worth playing are SMB3 and SMW. |
| Topic | Americans want a white supremacy but don't want to clean the waste |

| Topic | worst job interviews you've ever had? |
| Vertania 02/16/18 10:52:45 AM #14 | donkeyjack posted... Why didn't you? For one, it was a straight-up pyramid scheme. The guy told us that you only get paid comission and that he (the supervisor) gets paid more for employees selling more. Hell, they had to be intentionally vague and dishonest about the "interview" just to get people to show up there. Second, it was literally door-to-door life insurance sales. Like, how do you even handle that with any amount of tact? *old lady answers door* "Hi ma'am, you look like you're going to die soon; please give us your money." |
| Topic | worst job interviews you've ever had? |
| Vertania 02/16/18 10:30:50 AM #8 | I drove an hour for an interview only to find out it was a group presentation for life insurance sales. They did offer me the job afterwards, but there was no way in hell I was taking it. |
| Topic | Controversial Opinion topic. |
| Vertania 02/15/18 11:34:10 PM #19 | Aristoph posted... Only if you're referring to the Scholar of the First Sin edition. I'd still disagree, but I could at least see the argument. The original vanilla Dark Souls 2 was kind of a mess, tbh. Part of what made it good was that people could choose which version they liked best. SotFS was a fucking pain in the ass in a lot of places, especially in the beginning (statues everywhere, multiple Pursuers, Heide's Tower, etc.). I got all the achievements in SotFS and played through the last gen version a few times, but I still prefer the latter. |
| Topic | Controversial Opinion topic. |
| Vertania 02/15/18 11:26:09 PM #17 | Uncharted 3 is the best in the series. Dark Souls II was the second best Souls/BB game. |
| Topic | C/D You were scared of speech/public speaking classes |
| Vertania 02/15/18 10:59:13 PM #3 | Hell yeah, and I still am. I started just getting drunk before speeches in college and that helped a ton. Don't know if the speech was any better, but at least I wasn't nervous about it. |

| Topic | Vigil for Florida shooting breaks into chant of "No more guns" |
| Vertania 02/15/18 10:53:51 PM #27 | Come on, Republicans. Making heroin illegal stopped all heroin-related deaths; how come guns aren't illegal yet too? |
| Topic | Why is the singer of Korn worth $50M and System of A Down singer only $20M? |
| Vertania 02/15/18 10:40:30 PM #22 | KoRn is still touring and probably has been consistently. SoaD split up like 10 years ago and only rarely makes a reunion appearance. Both Serj and Daron were releasing their own albums, but I feel like most of the SoaD fan base weren't even aware of them. SoaD was superior in every way though. |
| Topic | Tinder plans to add a 'women must message first' feature. Sorry, incels |
| Vertania 02/15/18 10:35:32 PM #51 | Wish they would have added that 2-3 years ago when I tried it. Used to get a fair amount of matches, but I'd never message first because it seemed like a waste of effort. |

| Vertania 02/14/18 1:27:03 AM #5 | I'd be enjoying it tonight too if I didn't have to wait for the 20 GB update. I'll try it in the morning. |
| Topic | Im drinking, lets have a little fun ce ;3 |
| Vertania 02/14/18 1:25:10 AM #14 | I was planning on having some Jack tonight, but I ended up rereading my old copy of The Satanic Bible instead. |

| Topic | Trump administration wants to dictate what kind of food poor people eat |
| Vertania 02/13/18 2:01:53 AM #160 | pegusus123456 posted... I refer you to: Did you even read the original post?: The USDA believes that state governments will be able to deliver this food at much less cost than SNAP recipients currently pay for food at retail stores thus reducing the overall cost of the SNAP program by $129 billion over the next 10 years. idk about you, but I'd put a little more faith in the USDA's estimate than a random CEman's speculation. Whatever the specifics, I really doubt they'd make that estimate without taking those factors into account. |

| Topic | Is there anything more disappointing than the modern story in Assassin's Creed? |
| Vertania 02/13/18 1:52:35 AM #20 | AvantgardeAClue posted... What they did in 4 was clear, but the fact that they essentially turned the modern-day plot into "references references REFERENCES" in the subsequent games makes me feel like they're not committed to it as they were before I mean, what else would expect? The loudest fans were the ones bitching about Desmond and the modern day stuff with every release. I don't blame them for just taking the "fuck it" approach. And what made AC2's The Truth thing so interesting for me was that it was still a mystery. Brotherhood and AC3 didn't have the surprise factor going for them as much. |
| Topic | Is there anything more disappointing than the modern story in Assassin's Creed? |
| Vertania 02/13/18 1:45:06 AM #15 | Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate all had some important modern day story parts, they just weren't laid out as plainly as they were in Desmond's story. It was actually a sensible approach, if you think about it. So many "fans" bitched about Desmond and the modern day story anyway. The way they did it, players didn't really have to sit through those parts anymore, but there were still plenty of hints about what was happening for those that cared enough to pay attention. Spoilers for those four games: |

| Vertania 02/13/18 1:29:29 AM #30 | He wants humans to enjoy their time on Earth, instead of wasting their lives waiting to die. |

| Vertania 02/13/18 1:25:27 AM #129 | sktgamer_13dude posted... I see this totally unrealistic thing happen EVERY MINUTE! We must stop this unrealistic boogeyman!!!!! It happens. Find a friend or family member you know IRL that worked at a grocery store/Walmart/etc. and ask them. I used to work at a small convenience store and I'd have people come in and get piles of overpriced junkfood on EBT, then pull out their wallets and spend $20+ on cigarettes, alcohol, and lottery tickets. Literally happened on a daily basis. |

| Vertania 02/13/18 1:17:37 AM #119 | I still say they should do it like WIC. Give them a very specific list of approved items, then put given amounts on printed checks. |
| Topic | CE's Official Minecraft Server: Yes, Minecraft in 2018. We have stuff. |
| Vertania 02/12/18 9:31:50 PM #65 | WTH I just found out about this today. Been wanting to see the CErver revived for years. How long has it been since the last CErver went down? Last time I remember playing on it was like 5 years ago. Everybody just started leaving to go play other games together and I never saw it again. Hate playing MC on my laptop, but I might check it out tonight. |
| Topic | Is Minecraft any good? |
| Vertania 02/12/18 9:23:51 PM #14 | I've been playing it on and off since it was in beta. Probably my most played game this gen tbh. The best version is, by far, the Java Edition. Finding a custom server you like can be really rewarding. Other versions (especially the console ones) really limit what you can do with multiplayer. Kombucha posted... it can be Oh shit, it's back? I played on that years ago, but everyone abandoned it. I might get back on, but I hate playing on my laptop. Once the Switch version gets the Better Together update, I'd like to get a CE realm going. |

| Vertania 02/11/18 10:28:50 PM #26 | _MorningStar posted... Drangleic? It didn't physically reset in DS2 though. Drangleic is a different part of the world from Lordran. Yes, the souls and certain things do cycle, but the world itself only ever comes to an end in DS3 |

| Topic | They should make Dark Souls 4 |
| Vertania 02/11/18 9:41:34 PM #22 | boxington posted... idk, with the Dark Souls series, we're talking since the beginning of the world, and the world going through many cycles and ages The only time the world really "started over" was in DS3. That's why everything was converging together and getting warped. The endings of DeS didn't really start a new cycle though, things just gradually turned into DkS/BB (according to the theory). |
| Topic | They should make Dark Souls 4 |
| Vertania 02/11/18 9:20:42 PM #20 | Tezlok posted... before that was a world full of mist and monsters. i'm talking about the very beginning of the cinematic when it talks about "life and death. heat and cold." and shows "archtrees" everywhere. that is the promordial world I mean. and I am saying the ending evil cinematic to demon souls leads into that world That mist mentioned there is supposedly the same colorless fog from DeS that brought all the demons avout in the first place. Lordran is a separate part of the world from Boletaria and DS1 takes place a long time after DeS. What really sold me on the theory is that DkS3 had the damn Storm Ruler in it. It's not like the Moonlight Greatsword that From throws in every game just because, it's the same sword with the same exact powers from DeS. |
| Topic | They should make Dark Souls 4 |
| Vertania 02/11/18 9:07:45 PM #18 | boxington posted... didn't things go dark in the Dark Souls series because Gwyn and the other lords killed off the dragons, which led to the world starting to age/decay, or whatever Killing the dragons didn't cause that. |
