The Gaming Den

You literally cannot make this shit up: http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/16/media/donald-trump-snl/index.html Yes, how dare Saturday Night Live do what it's always done and throw jabs at everyone. How dare they make fun of him when he screws up or says something awful or parody him. This week's wasn't ...

I got to field-test my halloween costume early this year. After much consideration, I felt the cheapest option would be to buy a fake beard and be a ZZ Top member. The sunglasses were also cheap. So cheap they were free. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb70/Theliterator/14656279_1575511325808355_...

So... yeah. http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37667924 6 days later and we are back to 'rigged election,' (the inevitable lawsuit is going to be painful) and some bonus crazy: she was on performance enhancing drugs, so Hillary needs to be tested before the next debate. At least Vegas is the ...

And then any settlements out of court with an NDA, or cases dropped because the accuser couldn't afford to keep at them... Not to mention, and I don't know how true this is, one of his favorites MOs for 'business' is to hire some small company to do a cracking lot of work, then not pay them because ...

Well, the way the election's going, I could make a killing scalping alcohol here in the redstate. I need to buy booze now and hang out around a liquor store on Election Night...* *this is way illegal in my state and I'm not going to do it. But still. Not familiar with the term in this context and G...

This is more rhetorical, but it's frustrating to see people view Trump's flaws as mere rudeness. People going on about Clinton being some kind of existential threat, and Trump posing no more than short-term damage...no idea how to respond other than just stew and ignore. Just remember they cry over...

So FNAF and others have turned horror games into "don't look at the monster!" and just noise and startlement. I'm tired of it but want to be spooked. I'm looking for something slower and maybe more psychological. Anyone got some good recommendations for anything sort of Lovecraftian? I mea...

It's a supplement setting thing that's basically The Dark Side of Anime: The Game.

Fucked-up anime, fucked-up hentai, they both get representation.

Leress did an OSSR of it, I think.

Kaelik wrote:Apparently someone on the apprentice staff for seasons 1 and 2 tweeted that there's a lot worse on those tapes, and if someone pays the 5 million penalty fee, we can all hear Trump say the N word.

I'd put fifty bucks in on it.

We can hope. So we'll see how it goes and what else shows up. I know CNN has dug up Trump talking with Howard Stern (not that those were buried that deep). McCain has said he can't support Trump, supposedly Pence is considering bailing, who know. My favorite quote so far has been from Ursula Vernon....

On third party candidates, protest votes and strategic voting: I am an adult, old enough that I had to compromise my principles to vote for Gore over Nader -- and I live in a swing state, so my voting choice is pretty obvious this time around. However the Electoral College is a thing -- and if I di...

Reminds me, I got a backlog to update...

Anyway, looking forward to more of this

I finally got to see Kubo and the Two Strings.

It is a tragedy that this movie did not make all the damn money. I loved it.

Go see it.

Is it just me, or has Amazon shipping for non-prime users turned into complete and total ass? An item I ordered five days ago still hasn't shipped, which is shaping up to be worse than the last time I ordered from Amazon, which in turn was the worst wait I had ever had. I am pretty sure this is all...

The Jedi system as presented in the movies always seemed a way to minimize their presence and impact. In a good way. Force-users, despite the power, are still ordinary people psychologically. The Jedi temple system seemed a way to scrub out out ego and selfishness and fill any prospective young supe...

I'm normally tolerant of self-expression. Man-buns? Whatever flats your boat! Wearing a full beard and a lumberjack shirt when the most you've had to do with cutting down a tree is breaking a match when you try to strike it to light your long-stem pipe? Kinda goofy, but okay. But that. That. I would...

I fucking hate disassembling and reassembling PC's. I'm sure that hurts my nerd cred, but it's honestly pretty annoying. I've had times when I'd have happily taken a kick to the nads rather than keep working on a computer. Especially when a bunch of my buddies are computer enthusiasts who ask quest...

Okay. I guess what you need here is a bit of headcanon and expand a bit on what they represent and why. First off, it's more-or-less canon the Chaos gods derive some power from certain emotions and acts, as well as direct worship. Spilling blood makes Khorne stronger, getting angry makes him stronge...

Which segment of the fanbase? I mean, there's lots of fans who got ran off or they're interested in the universe but not the tabletop game. For my sins, I'm one of them. Not to mention Koumei has Dungeon Crusade, which could make for a good starting point on this: I really like the Assault-Tier and ...

I don't know why this particular piece of terminology fail bothers me more than Krynnian Paladins swinging hauberks at people, but it does. Is it perhaps because paladins swinging hauberks at people is a hilarious mental image? As someone who's been hit with a large, wet mophead, I can testify it c...

Shadow Warrior is pretty fun. It's not quite Painkiller, and I think the enemies got a bit bullet sponge-y toward the end, but it's mostly an enjoyable bit of ultraviolence. It's also funnier than the normal shooter. Our hero's name is Lo Wang, and he owns it. Shouting, "DON'T SCREW WITH ME IF...

He correctly called 50 out of 50 states in 2012, and 49 out of 50 in 2008. Whatever witchery he does, it evidently works.

My interpretation was that he wanted to pretend that games can be designed for "gamers" in complete disconnect from who those gamers otherwise are. Because what you want from RPGs is completely independent of your background and generally the rest of your life. The fact that he was purpos...
