When I was visiting family at Christmas my 15 year old nephew said out loud 'lol' exactly as you would phonetically. He didn't actually laugh out loud he just said 'lol' in a very dour tone of voice. While the internet has made communication much, much more quicker, easier and far reaching it, along with text messages have a lot to answer for how some folks chose to communicate face to face.

It's usually thrown out preemptively by console warriors in every PC vs console thread.

It's filtered in here on a handful of occasions as well.

Oh right, there was a Nintendo Direct. And GAF didn't go down!
Hahaha as if 'Console Warriors' is any better. Though there are some who firmly wear their hearts on their sleeves or avatars in the case of some on GAF.
Personally I find it a tad unhealthy the levels of fanaticism some have for a technology company and the lengths they will go to defend or ridicule them. It's like a piss poor version of Rollerball playing out across gaming message boards.

I wanted to give Nintendo money but they said "No regular new 3ds for you!"

The most cringeworthy shit to come out of pc gaming. They are not unlike the GGers,

No way. The PC Master Race wasn't done as an attack on anymore like GGers are. It was a little bit of self deprecating meme. Totally for fun and not to mean any harm. Yeah I agree the meme is worn out and needs to be put to rest.

I mean in the sense that both groups are clueless dorks. In the case of the master race, using Nazi terminology.

I need a new main. Who will irritate people online more, Honoka or Marie Rose?
I was also taken aback the first time I heard that.
On the other hand, is it really all that different from any other language evolution?
Alternatively, just think of him as an Elcor.

I sometimes say lol out loud. But only when I'm alone.
Completed it a minute ago (9th finished game this year, yay), it's not very long and when you master a sequence of difficult jumps it's really rewarding but some ledges seem to be a few cm too short just to annoy the player. Also forget playing this with a controller. But at least they made one hard section later in the game easier.

"Console Warriors" doesn't has the same connotation that "Master Race" has though.
I thought the non-ironic use of the term was bannable here on GAF already.

It is, but there are still newer users popping in news thread about PC and post something like "Yeah! PC master race!".

Is it just me or that new girl looks like reference to Super Sonico?
Edit: not like pink hair and big boobs are original to begin with anyway.
Nah, she would have headphones then. She is looking more like Honoka from Love Live with whom she even shares the name.

Happy birthday old man!
Damn, she's pretty well developed for an 18 year oldWell then
Drank her milk steadily I suppose.
Honoka? More like Honkera am I right guys. Guys?
I know that feelingYeah, about that...
I play at 768p.
Playing Dark Souls at 700x394 but at least with enjoyable framerates of 20-30.
But sometimes I feel I miss out on stuff just because of visuals.
Ah well.
On that note. Is it possible for me to play a game via Steam Streaming from a friends much more powerful PC ? Like Onlive or PSNow.
I really would love to try that out.
I so often see joke reviews which are positive on Steam. Wonder if this will bring down reviews overall.
Is or was there ever confirmation that the game would come out on Steam at all?
Both SiN games, Gold & Episodes look really like fun games for people who enjoyed FPS during HL1-HL2 era. Hope it comes.

Never mind 18, she looks pretty well developed for any age, though by 18 she should have finished going through puberty.

Puberty goes through 21 regularly though.
Yeah very true, that or just shows how out of touch and old I am, hey probably both.
Though I did genuinely chuckle that he could have a touch of Elcor in him.
But that's just the thing though as it's thrown around without the thought of association just as some thrown around the word rape recklessly. Also the whole eye for an eye of trying to counter a pejorative with another is only going to perpetuate both ignorance and further usage, regardless if one carries more baggage than the other hence my post.

Nope (I e-mailed MumboJumbo but got a fairly useless response), however these days GOG exclusives tend to show up on Steam after some time if the publisher already has a presence, with the exception of Ubisoft and EA games.

Should have been a male character for DOA5.

That is weird as our med profs taught us that development of puberty into full adulthood is very often until 21 years. Hm. But yeah, not the place here.

Apparently Honoka has some cursed hand or something.
Maybe it's like Ryu's arm in Ninja Gaiden 3.
Oh jeeze...Of all the games to be reminded of....

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Morning fellow Master Racers!
Have we figured out any new and exciting ways to discriminate against the console rats?

I wish but nah. Spending too much time on the laptop in some uncomfortable position for typing but not bad for being lazy does that.
Also new DOA5: Last Round character video reveal.
