At least it got a port for modern consoles. It had some QoL additions like rewinding, save states and trophies.

Ah. I didn't know it got even that much. The only thing even approaching some consideration I knew about was Dart was at one point going to be potential DLC for PS Battle All-Stars whatever the hell it was called. But even that didn't happen.

Fantastic game. Criminally overlooked as it's not gotten any kind of remake, prequel, sequel, any kind of love from Sony since its inception. It is a bit rough around the edges in areas, so unlike a lot of games that don't really benefit much from a remake other than fancier graphics, LoD could really shine if brought into the modern age with love.

$300 and it comes with four minifigs? And is basically a flat panel in the end? Pass.

Cuz it tastes like apple!!

Pretend to be ill so the guard comes in and then thwack him.

Pretend to fight with one of my companions so the guard comes in to break it up and then thwack him.

Hit the weak part of the wall with my weapon so I can break into the next room and escape.

Examine the bars on the window and pull the loose one so I can escape.

Read the note on the last prisoners' body about "a false brick" that opens a secret passage to the sewers so I can escape.

Just wait the time out until my execution and let my missing companion save me in a cutscene anyway.

You start eating hair they're gonna put you into FF7 Crisis Core.

Where is Crimson Angel?! What did you do with her?!

Does she have any comedic chops?

Get a mohawk like 80s Storm had!

Hey, points for not being all wishy-washy or trying to let you down so easy you think she's being coy. Gotta respect that.

AGAIN please....

I must!

Well, I could use it while I'm walking around the yard with the dog. Maybe it'll ignite a passion for hiking I didn't know I had.

That's the way! The dog'll thank you, too; lots of new places to explore, sniff, and mark.

I just picked up what I thought would be a good hiking stick in my yard, even though I know I'll never use it because I don't hike. Still leaned up against the house, though.

Maybe you finding that stick is a sign that you should start hiking! Listen to the sticks...

Sticks are one of humans' oldest allies. They helped keep us warm, helped us hunt, helped shelter us.

Thank you....sticks.

Take the money, have someone else order the food for me. There; I didn't order it.

I want to see this in a movie, but then the child comes back perfectly healthy and then parents are SO EMBARASSED and then some wacky hijinx ensue.

They tried KC Masterpiece instead.

You mean sugoi ?

No, I don't! I told you, I'm trying to purge it away! The first step is to scramble the letters up. You're messing it all up!

Accept, but then stab my eyes out and learn to function as a blind man.

Who?

The guy who owns that ice cream company.

Why? You'll get to play all those hidden gems that were never translated if you master it. Isn't that a reward in and of itself?

Because it doesn't make me feel very shagoy...

They probably are nowadays. But they've always come off as robots because they just madlib some corpo bullshit together with generic feel-good terms and other synergy paradigms for maximum productivity calculationisms.

I'm trying to purge myself of the little I do know.

I always pronounced it 'err-wuhbee'

Strength and Endurance (NOT Vitality) are pretty much the only consistent stats in terms of being able to expect what they usually do, in my experience. Every other statistic varies depending on the game/genre. For instance, in most games I've played with an Agility stat, it doesn't affect chance to be hit at all. It usually affects turn order, or dictates a resource allotment (AP in Fallout, etc)

Luck doesn't really deserve singling out here.

I mean really depending on the game even Strength and Endurance won't get the full scoop. Sure, Strength lets you hit harder in melee--does it also increase your carrying capacity? Does it increase damage for thrown weapons? For bow and arrow weapons? Does it increase your grip duration? Your climbing speed?

Does Endurance just increase your base defense? Your maximum HP? Your poison resistance? Your elemental resistance? The rate your food/water/sleep meters decrease? Your sprint duration?

Most games will tell you the main thing it does, or maybe a couple. Few will tell you all.

Some games Luck is the game-breaker stat.

Doesn't matter what you do. If you get any money from this in any way it disappears including gifts since that's still profiting. There's no possible way to profit from the free food.

Nah, you said you can't make money off the food. I didn't. Can't change the rules now since I beat your system. I already looked the other way on this 'disappearing food' nonsense.

LeoRavus posted...

You can't give it away or make any money on it.

I'll have the people that come to see the magic act pay me in assorted items they want to bring in that are equal in value to what I think the show is worth. Then I'll sell those items for money. There, I didn't make money on it; I bartered for goods which I later sold for money.

I hoped when the movie was going to first come out that it would be about a perfectly functioning Jurassic World theme park and like the big tense moments are things like 'can we get in line for the Raptor exhibit before it closes down at 4 pm?' and 'noooo the sodas are so expensive here!' and other things like that.

And you'd keep waiting for the point when The Chaos Begins and it becomes a traditional Jurassic Park movie and that just never happens.

They couldn't eat any of it. If someone tries it vanishes or something.

Then you can make bank taking your Incredible Vanishing Food on the road as a magic act.

Which half...?

How does the food know who's eating it? Like, say I get a free pizza, what exactly prevents me from giving someone a slice after it's already been 'paid' for? If I give someone a slice, I'm somehow billed for the pizza after 'buying' it?

i dont see an overt problem, thats why i used the word hinky. it's just got this weird nebulous juju about it

I don't see how, but okay. Everyone knows what they're getting into, CE's been on the up and up as far as coming through for the winners. Just not seeing any potential issue.

Not really following the logic of this topic. People post a message and try to get some quick, free, easy money. No one's debasing themselves, no one's going to get hurt doing it (except possibly CE financially, but they insist they're not), and it's fun to take your shot. Where's the problem?

THIS tired old plotline, god...

It's not always a bad thing to be selfish. If you don't look after yourself sometimes there ain't gonna be a yourself too long.

This Charlie stuff is weird too. It reeks of parasociality.

What, calling him his actual name? Who gives a shit? I'd figure people do it since once they know it there's no reason not to, and in fact there's a reason TO do it, since his internet handle is fucking stupid.

More like Aeris Gains-a-burial.

"Say her name..."

"Heisenberg."

"You're GOD DAMN RIGHT."

This is a horrible story but holy shit at this moment it legit sounds like a moment from it's always sunny

God damn it, basically along the lines of what I was gonna say. I actually laughed out loud when I read that part; it's amazing.

Like, a locked mineshaft tunnel or something? I don't know...

Say it verbatim in a Daffy Duck voice.

I tell my Pokemon that if they fail me, I'll return them to the dimensional oblivion that is the Pokeball and drop it in a lake or something so they simply...disappear...

To become a Pokemon Master!

Regurgitation.

Greg, schmeg. (seriously, congratulations!)
