How good is Walking Dead anyway?
The interviews they had at the show were even worse. "Nerds love lesbians, so lets try to exploit that as much as possible!"

They fluff, no way did the woman deserve the scorn she got in those threads.

I use to smoke weed all the time in high school and undergrad but quit mostly once I got out of undergrad. The shit is a social stigma and the smell of it gets in your clothes.
Now I smoke maybe a handful of times a year when I know I can be by myself and have enough time to come down from it before I interact with anyone.
I've had some bad trips but now I just zone out and get introspective.

Those interviews man...goddamn
As for the Walking Dead, I haven't played it since I hate the comic, stopped watching the show, and was like, "an episodic point-and-click adventure? lol"
Buuuuut it's got pretty much universal acclaim at this point. And not just GAF HYPE kinda acclaim, but like, "It will probably win more GotYs than any other game released in 2012" kinda acclaim.
I guess I'm gonna have to try it out and see for myself, but on principle I do like seeing a smaller game starring a black man with a focus on good storytelling get awarded.

I had to stop watching when they started the symphony with the dominatrix violin and cello players then cut to a little girl singing "What do you do with a drunken whaler" it became to WTF.
I always assumed it was the production team that made her do most of that dumb shit in the interview.

TWD game has stronger writing than the show, by an impressively large margin. I don't know how it compares to the comic, because I haven't read it yet.

I'm on the very last part of the 5th episode and it's pretty good. Not Xcom good but good.

I think so. Pretty sure I've seen the same stage more than once.
Same exact stage or the elements rearranged?
MorisUkunRasik

Exact same. Different enemies and enemy placement.
Happened maybe 5 or 6 times in 35/40 hours of playing and I grinded like hell at the beginning of the game
Do they have those little robot tanks? I use to love cheating and getting those early and just vaporizing shit.
0 i was the one with good credit. But economy has been so shit i couldnt find a job after college and now its fucked

XCOM has 80 levels, and the enemies/enemy placement is randomly generated. A bit of a step back from the original X-COM's completely randomly generated levels, but it's fine.
I cant play Xcom on anything above Ironman Normal. I just wrecked

Most movie sequels are made because they found a hit property and they need to replicate that success, even if there isn't a story to tell. So they got keep everything people liked about the first one, and you end up retreading old ground, rehashing old jokes, or just straight up misunderstanding what it is that made the first one connect with audiences so much. Sometimes people fall in the trap of mistaking bigger = better now that you got a big budget to back you up, or rushing out two movies even though you don't have the best script in the world. All kinds of reasons.
Well I want to cover that and the seedy ulterior motives such as Batman and Robin's entire production revolved around toy merchandise and Die Another Day was put to ridiculous extremes to compete with the xXx movie.

So, I just tried out the demo for X-Com, because of you folks. Yea, I'm getting this for certain. I can already see myself raging, due to me leveling up a sniper and a scumbag alien kills them.

Yeah, but when that Sniper takes that 35% shot and hits, it's like you're pulling the trigger yourself. Everything is so personal in that game. It can go from completely satisfying to soul-crushing in an instant.

I can already tell. I use to play Command & Conquer a lot, but none of them made me feel how I did a minute ago, when I sent a unit past a window, and I realized the Aliens had on Overwatch as well.

That thread about those women being called 'fat girls' on their receipt is filling up with bans.
Thread became a slaughterhouse

"Alright I'll move my soldier here, great cover from the North and decent cover from the West"

SHIII My last post in that 'fat girl' thread was an accidental pun.
Pray for me.

But better.
Being Fat is some unholy sin that some people on Gaf can not forgive. Kind of scary.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I will get X-COM eventually. Waiting for the inevitable steam sale.
In reference to the fat girls thread, I find it genuinely fascinating how one line of thinking (certain terms are insulting and shaming people for their lifestyles is not productive) is perfectly understood in defense of a subject you find important such as gay rights but then suddenly it becomes hieroglyphs when people post use the EXACT same ideology about a different subject. That's a level of doublethink that would make Big Brother smile.
