I don't much care if he succeeds or fails, I just want him in the league in a place of prominence for the entertainment value. I agree the situation in Buffalo is less than ideal, pretty similar to the situation he's leaving actually; solid defense, very questionable offense, and particularly QB, situation.

My contempt for Torture Porn Raider is well known around these parts, so I agree with Luridis in that regard, but that's going quite off topic, isn't it? To bring this back on topic, TotalBiscuit very much liked Torture Porn Raider, but also very clearly told people that it is a Tomb Raider game in name only. Some other reviewers alluded to it too, but only in passing, skimming over the fact that this is a VERY different game than its predecessors, which is failing their readers IMHO.

Rex Ryan has been hired as the new Bills head coach. This makes me so happy. Rex Ryan has given me an almost endless amount of entertainment during his coaching tenure with the Jets. I don't care where he coaches, I just want him in the league as a head coach.

Grey Goo looks cool. Not my cup of tea since I don't usually play RTSs, on account of sucking horribly at them (I generally like to take my sweet time in tactical/strategy type games, which is fine in turn-based and not at all fine in real-time), but I appreciate the genre and the skills necessary to excel at them.

Youtubers are whom I mostly go to for game related stuff these days. A certain Cynical Brit is my go to source for game impressions since his WTF Is videos are extremely informative and thorough, he wears his biases on his sleeve, and he takes the time to try to see things from other people's perspectives. Angry Joe and Yahtzee I watch for entertainment value because I enjoy their shtick, but not for information purposes, since their videos are piss poor in that department, IMHO. I'm pretty indifferent toward Jeremy Jahns and PewDiePie straight up makes me want to claw my own ears off, so I avoid his stuff like the plague.

After their mismanagement of Broken Age (aka Double Fine Adventure) and the Spacebase DF9 fiasco, I wouldn't even consider getting a game from Double Fine before it's finished, since I've lost all faith in the company. That said, I've heard good things about Massive Chalice, so maybe Tim Schafer was hands off enough with this project that it managed to stay more or less on track. Hopefully it turns out to be a good game, it certainly looks interesting.

Io Shirai - Wrestler With her sister Mio And some action shots for good measure

Ugh, Rakshasa. They are a super pain in the butt to deal with. I hated them with a passion back when I played this game.

My new Atomic Lamborghini Gallardo Evo racing wheel and pedals setup Sorry about the blurry pic, I'm a terrible photographer. I don't much care about the Lamborghini branding, though I don't mind and it does look cool. The biggest downside to this wheel is only 270 degree rotation, but I would have had to pay at least double what I dished out for this to get a wheel with the full rotation like a real car. Less rotation is common with less expensive wheels, some have as little as 180 degrees. Beyond that, it has a bunch of buttons, well placed, including 2 buttons on the back of the wheel which are very useful, and the standard sequential paddle shifters. Gas and brake only, no clutch, but again, to get pedals with a clutch I would generally have to spend a lot more. Pretty cool so far. One bummer is that I didn't realize that the power adapter it came with has a European plug, which is my bad, I mean it's a European company after all. No problem, I ordered some wall plug adapters which will get here Monday, and the AC adapter can handle US voltage. Until then, the wheel works, just no force feedback until I get the plug adapter. I'm mostly using it to play Euro Truck Simulator 2, but I'll break some racing games out too. Once Project CARS comes out this bad bod will get tons of use.

Archery is really powerful in Awakening with the Accuracy passive. Some would say overpowered. It still has the speed bugs, though. ... To which I recommend this fan patch: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/1601/? The only component of it that I don't use is the "no helmets" one. Also, in Awakening warrior archers are potentially better than rogue archers, whereas in Origins rogue archers were clearly superior.

Bokishi has the same Thrustmaster Hotas-X flightstick I have. It's okay, I like it. It's no Saitek X52 (but nowhere near as expensive either), but it does the job.

Nope It's Jagged Alliance: Flashback, so you're basically correct.

Still playing Jagged Alliance: Flashback. I'm starting to get used to the mechanics and the interface. It's been a long time since I played a JA game, plus the mechanics here aren't exactly the same as either JA or JA2. There is something wonky with the game where all my female mercs start in the prone position when entering a new zone. It's not a big deal to make them change stances to either crouched or standing, but it's weird. The interface could use some definite work, the delay on tooltips is strangely long, and I haven't figured out if it's possible to turn in place, which is a big deal for line of sight reasons (as it is I have to go an extra spot then walk back if I want to face the other way, burning AP unnecessarily). Hopefully it's possible and I haven't figured out how to do it yet, because not being able to turn in place sucks. Beyond that, though, I'm finding the game fairly enjoyable. I'm a big fan of turn-based squad-based tactics games.

Boobs for the win!

I'm playing the Jagged Alliance: Flashback that a certain Mr. Sands so graciously gifted me. I'm just starting out. It's okay so far, seems more like JA1 than JA2 to me, but that's from a super small sample size. I dunno, the game hasn't made me pump my fist and say "hell yeah!" like I did almost immediately with Wasteland 2, but I do want to keep playing it, so there's that. I'll say this for the game: At first I was pretty disappointed and put off by the graphics, but the simplistic art style coupled with the vibrant colors weirdly works, and rather well in my opinion. It's certainly not going to win any awards for graphical fidelity, but the look has grown on me.

Being a "victim" is good money, it seems. And here I am working for my money like a sucker.

Keep in mind that console versions are usually much better optimized, since they're optimizing for a single hardware spec (per console) as opposed to hundreds of different hardware configurations for PC, allowing the devs to get a lot more specific with console optimizations.

I could never get into Dark Sun back in the day. I'm still not sure why, I mean it was a pretty cool concept and completely different from the usual pseudo-medieval Europe fantasy stuff, which is great, but it just never clicked with me.

Those are some pretty beefy requirements.

They can do whatever they want with Thor just as long as they don't take my Hiddleston away. Thor could be a double amputee, hermaphrodite from Tanzania, for all I care.

Doesn't the game have auto-drive? I thought I remember a certain Cynical Brit alluding to as much.

Insane arcade cabinet:

That potentially covers a lot of ground. What's in it? I'm a big fan of stews, so I'm curious. My families version: spaghetti noodles, minced meat, carrots, celery, cream and onions. And for some strange reason it tastes considerably better if left in the fridge overnight and then re-heated next day. That sounds great. There some foods that taste better then next day, not many, but they exist. I think it's usually a case of the tastes of the different components having time to marry.

Probably not entirely, but San Francisco is most definitely the SJW capital of the United States, if not the world.
