Assuming you haven't already downloaded the patches.

myggen pls
Haha, I have. But I guess I could just delete the patches (and if need be the whole game client and reinstall), since I haven't started playing yet. Are there any substantive benefits from the patches to consider?
Let's try that again: Giant Bombcast 01/12/2016 - Video Game Mountain
Since even the smallest lottery win would change the lives of a lot of players - makes more sense to spread that $20 over multiple draws over the year. This is less for you and more for some of the people posting in that OT thread who clearly can't even afford to waste the amounts they are spending on this one big draw.
I personally don't buy lottery tickets but my parents are one of those dumb people that the organisers love - the ones that picked numbers significant to them at the start and are now locked in to playing every week. There are more expensive vices I guess.

true story, I thought about buying a ticket and then bought a steak instead.
I feel alright with that decision

Even when considering all the cows in the world, you're more likely to get a good steak than win most major lotteries.

yeah it wasn't half bad.
Tough break for the cow though.

For like two minutes. If they aren't smart--and most lottery winners aren't--they're broke pretty damn quickly after winning because they really don't know what to actually do with their winnings. They make dumb investments or just give money to friends and family who didn't give a crap about them before winning.
The reality is that the lottery is a shitty thing all around.
I'd advise the cows to buy lottery tickets.
Globally there must be tens of thousands of lottery winners who won over $500k. The idiots who blow it all, the ones that make the press, must be a very small percentage of total winners. I bet there is also a correlation between size of win and propensity to blow through it.
Not a fan of lotteries but at least some of the money goes to good causes - depending on the specific lottery I guess - which is more than say vegas gives back.
Me too.
I got tickets and pho. Who wins now?
But the point isn't winning. You go into it knowing that you're going to lose.
The point is that the large jackpots let you dream big. That's what you're spending money on. It's more fun to dream about winning $1.5 billion than like $30 million.
The first rule of gambling is walking into it knowing that you're throwing the money away and you're not going to win.

I've basically never won anything in my life as far as bets or sweepstakes go so I can't even muster the false sense of hope required to buy into lottery tickets
e: one time as a kid I even saved up proofs of purchase to get a baseball cap and not even that showed up

You must not know many lottery players if you think that's what they believe.

What a way to start 2016. :/ and from what? fucking cancer again, RIP Alan. Yeah, Ryan bumped me out to the point not visiting the site anymore for a long ass while. I came back to new faces haha Jason and Dan.
Thats definitely true for people that do it casually. I gamble myself sometimes and its knowingly for fun, not for big money.
All valid points but you assume that most of the people, like you, are realistic about their chances.
Whatever. Wrong place for this.
Pfft, GAF Gold was the best 20 bucks I ever spent.

Has GB ever taken a look at Freedom Planet? Game is pretty fun and not what I expected.

Considering what all they said about Sonic and how poorly its aged on the last bombcast, I doubt they would look positively on a Sonc-like.
that doesn't matter when it comes to QLs. they did plenty of Sonic QLs.
Tommy Wiseau is not to be trifled with.
Drew is probably the best guy to do a Sonic-like. I actually played this for the first time the other day and was quickly made to realize that maybe I don't like Sonic style games as much as I remember liking them.
They get mentioned every now and again in here, but Game Informer's Super Replays are so good. I just heard the story of Dan eating so many pastries at an office meeting that he had to go to the doctor.

that stealth DMX reference in the bombcast was great.
Apparently during a Ninja Gaiden super replay Dan said he genuinely pissed off his old co-worker. Would love to see a highlight reel of that because no way I'm watching 4 hours of that god damn game.

Ha what a story Brad.
Hey, this dickbutt ornament was a gift!
I don't think the patches do anything negative as long as you hit decline on the startup screen. Pretty sure you don't need to disconnect the console from the net either.
I picture a dickbutt being a dick with a butt at the top, in which case, aren´t all dickbutts just normal dicks minus the poop?
