What are you playing now?
I was bummed, I couldn't figure out how to defeat or sneak past or skirt my way through dozens of double-bladed Ubese warriors milling about the hidden base of Visquis just beyond the labyrinth of tunnels under Jekk' Jekk Tarr on Nar Shaddaa with only red-headed tight-assed Mira and her meager combat skills. Seemed hopeless, and then I was like, you know what, I don't have to look online, I can take a look, in a book, just like Reading Rainbow taught me. The bonus poster is still inside, still mint.

The general firearms thread!
What do you want to do with it - target shooting, concealed carry, competition shooting, do you want it to be eye candy or do you simply want a general purpose gun? I would enjoy a quality piece that looks good and is fun to clean. Breaking it down, cleaning, reassembly ... very relaxing. More enjoyable than shooting, I don't know why. Oh, I do know why. Because shooting introduces carbon that needs cleaning. Every round ... I'm like, that's gonna need some cleaning.

The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Wasn't going to relay the quiz because it feels sorta like a horoscope in veracity, but then I read the name of my Gaming Style score and thought, yes, exactly, now if only I could feel this way on the inside: Calm, Spontaneous, Relaxed, Independent, and Grounded. 51% Creativity, 30% Immersion, 20% Mastery, 15% Action, 11% Achievement, 7% Social.

I'd like to know, too. Also why are single companies referred to in the plural. 'Bethesda face an uphill battle convincing nincompoops Fallout 4 will be orders above what Obsidian have done'. And, in hospital. 'Have you seen Jane? No, she's in hospital with an eye infection. Oh, I thought she was on holiday. No, turns out she got her maths wrong while walking to the ministry of boffins.'

Sixty-five million copies, five million in the last eight months. Probably quite a few are playing. Who crapped in your Cheerios this month.

What are you playing now?
I made it to the 'green swimming level', as I recall, back when the game launched, and made an honest attempt to restart last month. It didn't work out. I'm enjoying Knights II now more than ever before. KotOR, I mean, the one with D&D laser swords and killer audio design.

I don't get it, is this irony, niche commentary where true Joker fans method-act heartless barbs into dead artists.

Romance?
Okay, great, now I can add completely philosophically underinformed and potentially mentally inadequate to my list of things. I swear, I once wrote a bangin' treatise on pragmatism with high marks. The professor was from Germany. Can't think of anything to add to the romance discussion, because decorum doesn't exist anymore and I feel it should be both the basis of and the antagonist for a memorable affair.

Massive KotOR II Steam Edition Update
I'll check the Steam forums, but I started the prologue on the Ebon Hawk, so weird, the camera angle becomes aimed at the ceiling and one of the buzzy background sound effects overpowers all else, particularly on menu screens. I'm still happy for this release, I just need to figure out what's happening that shouldn't be. Day late and dollar short edit. I'm not an idiot, I just play one in real life. Or I just forgot. If you hold the right mouse button and move the mouse forward or back, the camera moves down or up. For whatever reason, the first tool tip moves the camera toward the ceiling, but it is possible to bring it back down, on demand. Not a bug, just user error. Thank god, I'm so glad. Dumb, but glad.

The Funny Things thread
That seems odd, could you point me to the watercooler where that scuttlebutt originated. Or, I guess, maybe it's just odd to me, since I'm a dude for whatever reason, most of my Marvel books are female-starring ... Black Widow, Silk, Princess Leia, A-Force, She-Hulk, Angela of Asgard, Thor, Spider-Gwen if I'm honest but I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as Cindy Moon. I would literally have an aneurysm if Jennifer Walters cameos in the Civil War movie. Or Doctor Strange, or Captain Marvel, I can wait.

Got the Supes nostalgia. Man of Steel was such a surprise, I sprang for the '78-'06 anthology, including the first four movies, extended cuts of I and II, plus Superman Returns from 2006 and some cartoons and what-not. I seriously thought this franchise was resting in a sepulcher, but it's not. The John Williams score for the originals is gonna feel so amazing, I can't wait. I vaguely remember Richard Pryor, but I keep confusing it with Brewster's Millions.

I do, and have done, certainly, repeatedly. The wet washcloth is my new personal jesus. Someone to hear my prayers. Someone who cares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1xrNaTO1bI- What you did today
Ambient temperature, it's unfit for living, in the middle of the night. This storm and its heat and humidity and rain and frightening lightening. I don't understand why humans have such a small, three-degree Fahrenheit comfort zone ... what kind of evolutionary advantage is that. The answer is, it isn't. It makes people crazy. The reason world wars exist is heat. People lose their minds. I want to end it all and open the fridge and the freezer door. - What you did today
