Hey everyone. I started a new job yesterday.

Maybe now I can buy the Witness and not feel guilty about spending the money.

Congrats! That's such a good feeling. Especially if you've been looking for a long time...

Hey congratulations on the job man, I remember you posting about the interview not long ago.

Hey everyone. I started a new job yesterday.

This was exactly how I felt when I started my current job the week The Last of Us came out. It's a great feeling to spend $60 (or even $40) and not feel like you're risking starvation. Congrats!

Congrats, so that ran well it seems c:

I've never been in OT's too often, are they always full of people complaining about, what seems like, the oddest things without even playing the game?

That's gaming side, and the internet in general.

Definitely not exclusive to the OTs

Awesome!

Random question: Is Ghost Trick worth the ~12 hour investment? Is the iPad version good?

Yes (I loved the DS version)

Cool I'll start it up during my break tomorrow. Also since you seem to be familiar with such titles. I've been interested in getting either a Professor Layton or Ace Attorney game for my N3DS. What would be the best place to jump in?

If you like chill puzzles in a charming package, try Layton 1, 3 or 4.
(1 and 4 are the start of a trilogy, that doesn't matter much though. 4 has a bit more refined mechanics obviously. 3 is the best story)

But I'd rather have you try Ace Attorney 1 first. Fun characters, interesting cases, great overarching story, the music, ..

Hey everyone. I started a new job yesterday.

woohoo awesome. I hope it'll be fun!

Congrats, now you should call in sick so you can play he game. Like a real employee.

So Layton 2 is the bad one, then? I loooved the first game, but couldn't force my way through 2 after multiple times returning to it.

no perfectly fine IMHO. But I can totally understand your feeling. The Curious Village was the only one I finished within days.
I'm often playing the games with long breaks, over several months. And don't care for the minigames or collectibles. Still haven't played the latest (Azran).

It also has auction and trade systems which must be used quite frequently and forces the all important social interaction.

.

The auction thing is straight from the board game. You are supposed to auction every unclaimed location anyone lands on, if the person landing declines to buy it. It makes the game go so much faster. It is usually ignored by families playing and then they complain that the games go on forever.

The ios/android version is decent too. Got it for 10p in a sale. The AI is busted on even the hardest difficulty level. It will happily trade with you to complete colour sets - even at the expense of gifting you the most valuable properties in the game.

 

[Incandenza]

More like THE WITLESS

 

[jaina]

ha, thanks! I almost forgot it unlocked.

 

[NumberThree]

Yeah I'll buy that stupid game then. Damn you, peer pressure!

Looks like Brad is even active in the OT.

That's exactly what happened with my family. I've played Monopoly my whole life and never heard about that rule before I watched the GT stream.

It's such a smart rule. Clueless parents setting up house rules.

finally the new gb hire is revealed

Spoiler

congrats <3

 

[Incandenza]

You can tell how much Brad has been bursting at the seams to talk about The Witness by all the spoiler-tagged posts he's making in the OT.

I played about an hour's worth this morning and already had several "oh shit, that's wild" moments.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I wanna play it

But gamestop hasn't sent me a DL code I ordered from their site, pending a 12 hour review ._.;

The pain

Well I have to go to the dmv in an hour, so everything is OK!

It makes me hope he's interested in doing some kind of spoilercast at some point to just talk about it with the rest of the guys.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Just noticed that a new Warhammer 40k game came out on steam today, I need a GBeast QL so that they can talk about Warhammer.

Ugh, coffee is so gross. Why bother drinking something so bitter and unpalatable that you have to add all this shit to it?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Cool people drink it black, though a little sugar can go a long way.

Ugh, coffee is so gross.

 

[LiK]

way healthier for caffeine in-take than soda. we drink it outta necessity. I've gone full coffee last year.

 

[justjim89]

I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm a bum and have never had a job, but I've always found a cold glass of orange juice is all I need to wake up early and get going.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Maybe you've only had bad coffee. Ever had aeropress-made coffee?

You learn to love it. I can't imagine anyone was blown away by the taste of beer when they first had it.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

That's real good, but it's not real coffee until you get it right off the vine from the next mountain over.

... My research in Costa Rica was fueled by literal fresh coffee.

The only downside to coffee is the horrible things it does to your digestive system.

heh, when you have a full time job in the future, you'll come to appreciate the godly drink known as coffee. I only drink one small cup a day.

Beer is always disgusting tho

Hard liquor is all I need

 

[Bowlie]

See, that's one thing I approve in NuDan.

I remember haaaaating it beer as a kid, fucking horrible. Now it's whatever (still can't drink malt beer tho)

Damn that sounds good.

 

[Incandenza]

Whenever I drink caffeine I start shivering and my stomach complains. Just give me 7 hours of sleep and I'm good to go.

 

[Archaix]

Cold brew coffee and add water or nothing to it if you don't want to add any cream. Still tastes great.

That's... that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

This! I loved liquor right away, no need to force myself to like something.

On a side note: Orange juice is fucking disgusting.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Never had a cup of coffee and I've never felt like I've needed to have one either.

People who drink it with pulp are literal monsters.

Nothing like trying to take a big gulp of a drink and feeling a lot of little pieces of shit sliding down your throat.

Natural orange juice is great. don't drink from concentrate or the fake stuff.

if you get enough sleep and don't feel fatigued enough to drink coffee, you are one lucky bro.

What is Sunny D considered? :lol

False.

True.

 

[Patryn]

That's why you don't add shit to coffee.

Black coffee is absolutely wonderful. There's no reason to ruin it with milk and sugar.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I tend to get around 6 hours sleep a night and that's often enough to get me through the day without feeling fatigued. It's kind of great.

 

[daydream]

let's hope the streak of latecasts is broken this week lest i become a laughing stock

 

[LegoArmo]

Orange juice with pulp. No coffee is good. No alcohol is good.
