Iron Giant

I feel compelled to share a gaming goof of my own:

Having come from Morrowind, I didn’t realize Oblivion had a fast travel system until WAY later in the game. I felt totally dumb for having missed that somehow.

On the plus side, my athletics level became alarmingly high.

I hate to say it like this, but people are cashing in on nostalgia.

This isn’t a new thing. Pretty sure this happens every decade.

People always assume I’m pretty smart because I work with computers and such.

I usually prove them wrong pretty quickly.

Digital games, published to Steam.

I’d love to make a table top game eventually.

I’ve made a few games.

Oh wait, something cool? Well darn…

Yeah that was it.

I played a LOT of Project Eden on PS2. It was such a quirky (and buggy) game but I still have a lot of great memories playing it.

Ace Combat 4 was one of the most legit games of all time.

“I’m too tired for this.”

Also Konami dropping the P.T. game, which was being made by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.

Despite being just a little teaser trailer, it quickly showed itself to be one of the most promising games and made many ‘best-ofs’ lists at the time. An extremely frustrating ‘what could have been’.

The Halo games.

I think Bungie fumbled a bit but overall did a good job telling the story of Master Chief. Halo 3 really felt like it was intended to be his end because MC was right back where he started - A super weapon kept in cryo, only this time drifting indefinitely into space with very little chance of ever being found.

Then Bungie did Halo: Reach as a follow up and showed you could have a good Halo game without MC as the protagonist, telling a new(ish) story with new characters.

Then of course Microsoft ditched Bungie and kept the IP, now looking at now the vast amount of Halo novels and comics and other media, decided to dig up Master Chief again and shoehorn him into a bunch of other game plots.

I won’t say Halo 4/5/Infinite are terrible or anything to that level but I don’t think 343 nailed it.
Even more frustrating now that Microsoft seems keen to remaster the whole Halo Master Chief story arc (again).

They looked like aquarium tanks but the glass was a little thinner and some were quite tall.

I’d presume they were for display cases like you’d see in a museum exhibit or something.

I found having a scissor jack and some stands came in handy.

MrBTongue

His video on Shandification was quite interesting though I think YouTube removed it from his actual channel.

He hasn’t posted in like 8 years though.

Monster Hunter World.

First thing I’d do is head directly to the canteen and get something served by those cat chefs, because that food looks insanely delicious.

For a mildly obscure one: (Also, mild Outer Wilds spoilers that are listed in the game’s store page)

On your first time playing Outer Wilds, if you manage to get yourself killed before you do the [plot event that gets you into a time loop], then you simply die, game ends, and you get kicked out back to the main menu.

While not a satisfying of an ending, it unfortunately makes sense.

So, yes*.

I have a few objects of importance that have been passed down but I don’t like to horde stuff. For me it can’t just be something they owned but something they valued or actually used.

And admittedly something that isn’t outrageously large and/or broken.

Hmm… I know a certain grocery store chain that got acquired by a bigger store a few years back, that’s located in the Midwest, and has been having a significant issue with leaving expired items on the shelves…

But no I don’t think its normal. Its very likely margins getting thinner because everything and management or the owners trying to keep the numbers looking good.

Without looking it up, I’d somewhat presume they pulled those URLs from people’s metadata if they’re using the Chrome browser.
