R.I.P. So many talented people dying this year.

Pretty much, yeah.

Jimmy Johns is selling $1 subs today and there's a Jimmy Johns about a 10 minute drive down the road from me. Edit: I gotta hand it to them, they live up to their motto "freaky fast subs". I was only planning on getting one, since it was one per customer, though you could get another $1 sub if you wait in line again. The line stretched out of the door, down the sidewalk of the small plaza (Jimmy Johns was a centrally located building), and around the corner. I figured it would be a 25 minute wait or so, judging by the length of the line. It wound up being less than 10 minutes and when I got out the line was slightly shorter, so I just got right back in line and got another $1 sub.

Looks like Spike Chunsoft may make another Fire Pro Wrestling game if they get enough chatter from fans. Likely a publicity stunt for a game they were going to release one way or another, but I'm down for Fire Pro regardless.

Still not as nightmarish as Hillary moutheyes Sleep well, Obsidiant Forumites. Sleep well.

That game was a farce. The amount of blatant illegal screens and fouls not called during that game was comical. Dudes were getting thrown to the ground, literally grabbed and thrown, and nothing was called. That was basically Harlem Globetrotters vs Washington Generals. That said, Kobe's performance was still impressive, given his age and the mileage on his body. Given that it was the final game of one of the all-time greats and that the game had no bearing on the playoffs, I don't mind that much. But let's not pretend that was a real NBA game. That was an exhibition.

Adrian Carmack and John Romero were 2 of the 4 founders of Id Software. Adrian left Id and the games industry in 2005. John left Id in 1996 and created one of the most famous flops in vidya games history with Daikatana and is probably best knows in meme form these days because he was going to make us his bitches and make us suck it down, but before that he was the designer of Wolfenstein 3D, Hexen, Doom, and Quake.

I mean, I'm not opposed to sucking it down.

Dear Lord, that is ugly as sin. It's a similar, and just as ugly, design to the one Nvidia used for their Shield console. Still, it's there to power games, not to be gawked at, so as long as it performs it doesn't really matter what it looks like.

CD Projekt RED is like Valve and Blizzard. They work on their own schedule, they don't worry about deadlines, and they release things when they're damn well ready to release them. The common thread between those 3 companies is that they can afford to do that because they have steady income coming in from other sources.

That sounds like a delicious food coma As for me, I'm having a chopped salad with bacon and chipotle ranch dressing. This dressing's got some nice zip to it. One of the refreshing things about moving down south is that when I get something labeled as hot or spicy it's actually spicy. Up in Connecticut when I would get something labeled as hot or spicy 95% of the time it would be weaksauce.

Browns get a 1st, 3rd and 4th this year; a 1st in 2017 and 2nd in 2018. The Iggles get the 2nd overall pick this year and a conditional 4th rd in 2017. Overall that's a great deal for the Browns. They have more holes than a sieve. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15280364/cleveland-browns-trade-no-2-pick-draft-philadelphia-eagles-five-picks Yeah, but it's the Browns. They'll squander all of them.

That I fully agree with. One of the prevalent opinions (at least the ones they say out loud) of those on the left is that Trump is a blithering idiot, which he is certainly not. Egotistical? Yes. Audacious? Yes. Dangerous? Perhaps. Stupid? No. What Trump is doing is calculated and it's working. I do believe that he believes much of what he preaches, but he's clearly turning it up to 11 because he understands how to work a crowd and elicit a reaction.

And the A-Team van.

There is a wacky conspiracy theory floating out there that this is a ploy by Trump to get Hillary elected (sabotage the GOP then drop out or nuke his own campaign once he secures the Republican bid). I'm assuming it would be in exchange for a cushy cabinet position or some sort of favors for his businesses?

I can just, you know, not install that mod.

Th screenshot function is currently broken (not sure if this is a Linux-specific issue) so here's a short video from lev 2 of IS Defense instead. Note: The bit of texture flickering never happened before so I assume it's being caused by my recording software (Simple Screen Recorder). Edit: @Melky - Can you play as orks or do you have to be a boring human?

It's not revolutionary, it's a simple arcade game, it's just executed quite well. If anyone here is old enough to remember the old Beach Head games, this is a modern version of that. It's simple arcadey killing fun. My biggest gripe is that it only has 3 maps. On the other hand, it costs the price of a burger, fries, and soda at a fast food joint, so the price fits, I guess. It does have modding support, or at least it has a mods section (currently empty) in the main menu, so hopefully more maps get made by someone or conversions where you're shooting unicorns or, better yet, liberals.

I don't consider mail in rebates as part of the price: I've been screwed out of too many for literally no given reason for me to do so. It's also just such a crappy process in general. It is indeed a hassle, but of the dozen or so rebates I've sent in during my life, I've actually gotten money for all of them, shockingly enough.

Oh they're definitely milking controversy again, but the game is actually pretty good.

Got back to basics today. Slow cooked peppered pork tenderloin and boiled potatoes. Simple and delicious.

I'm playing IS Defense. It's from the devs that made Hatred, you know, the controversial game that was evil incarnate because you murdered a whole bunch of people in it, which had never ever been done before in video games ever. Anyway, you know the turret section that devs always feel compelled, for some reason, to put into shooters? This entire game is the turret section. Sounds terrible, right? That's what I thought too when the game was first announced. Who would want to play the ****ty turret section from shooters for an entire game? Turns out I was wrong. This game is really intense and quite fun. If the turret sections in shooters were anywhere near as good as this, I would actually look forward to them. The game doesn't have much story. Basically, it's 2020, ISIS has grown completely out of control and now they're invading your shores. You're a dude in a turret mowing down wave after wave of them. The turret is motorized and can rotate full 360°. Most of the attacks, so far, have come from in front, but the enemies will flank you occasionally. You have a machine gun and a rocket launcher. The machine gun has infinite ammo, but you do have to reload. The rocket launcher only has so many rockets. You can also call in supply drops, infantry, artillery support, air strikes, and helicopters to help you. You earn skill points during the game which you can use to give yourself bonuses such as faster reloads, faster moving rounds, incendiary rockets, more health, stronger infantry, etc. It's basically survival mode. You're eventually going to get overwhelmed. The goal is to last as long as possible and kill as many enemies as possible. To unlock the next level you have to (cumulatively, you'll never do it in one try) destroy a certain amount of infantry and vehicles. I've only gotten to the second level so far and I don't know how many there are, so I couldn't tell you how long it is, but it's only $8 and it's good mindless killing fun.

I think it's safe to say that Johnny Football's NFL days are behind him now. At this rate, I'm not sure he'll even have much of a CFL career.
