We played "European handball" all the time in gym class here. Always a favorite, everyone always got really into it. So much better than doing basketball drills or running laps.

e: wait, nope, thinking of something else
Assuming it's the same thing, we called that Slapball, which is far superior imo

I've played handball in gym class before, i'm american
granted, nobody ever dribbled the ball like you're supposed to, but still
the true king of gym class was matball

I've never thought about it before you wrote that but people here in Iceland love handball and when Iceland is playing 70% of nation watches but I've played handball maybe 4 times in gym class.

This is art.
Man everything can be art these days.
I bet Taco Bell could call themselves an "Art Facilitator Store".
Here in Portugal we have the national league that has some following but nothing major.
One of the sports we had to learn in gym class was handball. It had the same time as football or basketball given to it.

Now imagine eating $90 worth.
I had no idea there had been mention of doing a GB crew, I'd totally be up for that.
You act like it's both not true and also a negative thing.
I'll join if there's no separate EU region

I was more referring to the fact that I effectively fell for a marketing department's dream- someone who pays them to sell their products.
but now that you mention it, it is kind of sitting like a rock in my gut.
Here in Brazil is football > volleyball > handball/futsal (I don't think english even has a name for this last sport) in school/university.
Just finished Her Story. That game is really cool. This is making my GOTY even harder. I'm surprised at how much I completed in the database without any help.
I feel like Hannah or Eve (or both if they're one person), is a serial killer. Florence falling down the stairs and then "Eve" burning the diary, and the parents dying from mushrooms is too convenient. They really made a point to focus on the mushrooms and how the parents wouldn't make that mistake. Simon isn't the first and won't be the last.
I've never felt sick. But all I ever get is regular crunchy tacos.

in college i would eat chipotle at least twice a week and never got the whole "lol rip your butthole" stuff. I was always fine. maybe a little full but otherwise ready to roll.
I agree that's
the more fun team but I think it makes the less sense after reading the spoiler thread.
Either way it's an excellent game.
If you are a fan of niche games, it was great. The Yakuza 5 date and 0 Localization news were amazing and the later was really unexpected for me. Rez Infinite seems cool and I'm glad I can just ignore the VR part. FF7:R info wasn't that major, but I liked what I saw. Also really happy that Ni No Kuni is getting a sequel as I liked the first game flaws and all and I want to see where they can go.
Overall, given my specific tastes, it was way better than I expected it to be.
I'm with you, I like the twins thing. There's good arguments for both sides too. For split personality you have the situation where both their names are palindromes and she has the tattoo of the apple and snake symbolizing Eve, the tapping code that says "Bye Hannah", and the fact that they never got caught that they were twins. But then how does that explain the disappearing tattoo and bruise in the interviews. Also the guitar playing and driving discrepancies are apparent, she goes back and forth on that. It's interesting.
What the was up with that song though, weird choice to sing an oddly incriminating song to a detective.

It's a great conference with many diverse games. It's just that most people were in it for a Demon Souls remaster or Crash Bandicoot coming back(It seems he will in E3 based on Shawn Layden wearing a Crash Bandicoot shirt).
Oh yeah, the fact that they showed FF7 was shocking.
It further pushes this agenda I've been behidn that I think Japanese console makers are seeing the West as a more viable market for their home console stuff rather than just outright saying 'Well only mobile doesn't work over here so let's see if we can get the West interested' without going into Lost Planet 3/Bomberman Zero mode

Neither are true, dog, she's playing us all.
And the song was cute and creepy. She revels in her victory. The very first search in the game is "murder", and the fourth video of that set is the last one of all of the videos, wherein she is grinning and telling the detectives they have to let her go cuz they ain't got shit. She's enjoying the hell out of her victory.

I thought double fine announced a remaster for full throttle way before psx?
Yeah, and specially the way she nonchalantly smiled at him. She very much enjoyed toying with the detective through the entire interrogation until the end, when she said that everything was just a story, and they got nothing on her.
It worked even better for me because I thought while playing that it was a song that she wrote to tell a little bit of their story, but then found later it's just a version of a real muder ballad.
It's all thanks to her acting and the writing. I wonder why Sam Barlow didn't receive the awards at TGA

You might be thinking of Day of the Tentacle
That was Day of the Tentacle. At E3 I think.
Edit: Beaten as heck.
Well, the game won for both Best Narrative and Best Performance. Unless you mean why he didn't show up. In that case, I dunno, Viva Seifert did, which was cool.
Her name is also very fun to say.

Jeff's talk about Rainbow Six on the Beastcast certainly is Jeff talking about a game he doesn't like that it seems like he's played for all of 15 minutes.
It's an amazing game if you're into the type of gameplay on offer. I won't defend the booster stuff but it's also extremely overblown because it's very easy to earn enough renown to unlock all the characters without boosts. If you play through the situations first (tutorials basically) you'll easily have enough to buy 6-8 operators.

I was quite amazed that the Remake is that far along in development: gameplay, environments, the fact that they are already thinking about english dialogue and possible actors. Square is operating like a company that actually wants to put out games again, I like it! I'm getting hyped for 7:R, I like what I see.

Weird, I was under the impression it was both.
Agree.

Yup feeling that kind of disgust too. Had a big sigh as I was about to open the door. First time I've had TB in about 10 years or so, it was ok.

It's not Jeff's type of game at all since he looks for the fast mobility and movement in an FPS game.
Edit: I've been playing the game for the past 3 days, haven't been hooked to an MP game since COD4. Really damn fun and satisfying with friends.
I agree with you.
I would never in a million years think Jeff would like it though.
He likes quick speed focused multiplayer. He doesn't like sitting out rounds.
I think Drew might really like the game

Yeah no I'm not at all surprised Jeff doesn't like it, but as a result of that and him not having played it a lot he doesn't really have anything meaningful to critique about the actual game so he totally overblows the Booster stuff when it isn't at all a big deal. If you play without paying a cent in-game you'll never feel like you're actually being held back unless you want to unlock ugly-ass gun skins (I personally could not care less about them)

Does it need one? It already looks great and has full voice acting. Unless they fleshed out the final part a bit more.

Heck, leveling up has almost no meaning to it since it's there only for you to reach level 20 and it'll unlock ranked multiplayer for you instead of casual only. Otherwise it's there for you to reach 50 and unlock that trophy/achievement.
