I don't keep up with the young people these days. Is that the panty sniffing game or something else?

A friend of my dad's commented on his Facebook status, then "signed" his comment by tagging himself. Old people are so cute.

They buy it for the lolis.

To be fair, those characters don't look anywhere as loli as the ones in Hidamari Sketch, Yotsuba to!, or Ichigo Mashimaro. Freaking middle- and high-school girls drawn like kindergarteners.

Key games and iM@S are generally better about this.

Turns out I simply accidentally unplugged a connection providing power from the motherboard to the on button and DVD drive. I just got my PC working again a couple minutes ago as of typing.

How I feel witnessing the ongoing dramapocalypse of the two-year Gamergate Arc. This is the best late-series rally since The Shield. ^__^

Being around the same age and also from the West Indies, this makes me smile and also a little nostalgic (or perhaps homesick). Totally the deference and reserve I'd expect an upstanding Jamaican chap to show in such circumstances.

NEWLY-INSTALLED Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has reiterated his tough stance on crime by urging the public to not only kill drug dealers, but addicts as well.

His remarks came barely a day after he was sworn in as the country’s 16th president in Manila on Thursday, Vice reported.

Speaking to a crowd of 500 in a Manila slum, Duterte said: “If you know of any addicts, go ahead and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful.”

He added that, “These sons of whores are destroying our children.”

After claiming victory in the general elections in May, the former Davao city mayor said medals would be given to citizens who shot and killed drug dealers.

His words look to have been put into action since he took presidency as bodies of drug suspects piled up over the last few several days.

According to PhilStar, 18 suspected drug pushers were killed in separate incidents over the weekend, while another 952 confessed drug users and pushers, fearing for their safety, surrendered themselves to authorities in the past two days.

Three suspects were killed by policemen in Duterte’s hometown of Davao and another five suspects were shot in Quaipo.

Lawmen in Caloocan also killed a former policemen and suspected drug pusher.

One man was shot in Tondo, Manila on Sunday and another in San Pedro, Laguna. Another six suspects were killed in Quezon province.

The latest deathtoll brought the number of drug suspects killed to 30 after Duterte was sworn in as president on June 30, PhilStar reported.

I dunno if I should post this in the ... and it made me smile Thread as there is no HO FUCK Thread, but it's as close as it gets

When I was sitting on a park bench (it was pitch-black in there, night), listening to the radio idly, a fox (!) came around (at approximately 1 metre range), got a sniff of me, then walked away. Not my first wildlife story from the area, either.

They really should have had someone in makeup mop the sweat off his face during that stair-climbing scene, though.

Time Magazine's "49 Popular Games Everyone Knows, Also King's Quest III"

Representing multiple generations of gamers

Read as:

We are unbelievably biased toward the last three console generations and have no idea who Sega are

We're going to ignore the fact that shmups and 2D fighters dominated the arcade scene

We think Namco failed to contribute to gaming in any way after 1981

Capcom and Konami get only one game each but Nintendo gets eight because Nintendo

Widescreen old games

Fuck Europeans, we don't know what an Amiga is

Are Galaga and Space Invaders really the only shmups on that list?

Mortal Kombat and Smash are the only fighters, too. Thanks for reminding us why we ignore these.

I need to go lie down.

[Sumez]

Their text on Mortal Kombat is the best ever

[atheistgod1999]

Rise of the Tomb Raider is better than Fallout 3.

In fact, there are only 17 games in existence that are better than Rise of the Tomb Raider.

[Sumez]

I'd be disappointed if Rise of the Tomb Raider weren't better than Fallout 3. Top 50 though? That's ridiculous.

[pestro87]

Their text on Mortal Kombat is the best ever

Yes! I never thought that I would ever hear someone claim that MK had "smooth controls".

I think the article should be renamed to "50 Video Games We've Heard of". I think they forgot to include:

- Snake (Nokia)
- Minesweeper
- Wii Sports
- Bejeweled
- 3D Pinball Space Cadet
- Pokemon GO

First day of my Junior year of High School wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Turns out they went back on the aide thing. I also felt somewhat more comfortable talking than before.

First day of my Junior year of High School wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Turns out they went back on the aide thing. I also felt somewhat more comfortable talking than before.

Would you mind never mentioning anything about your school life ever again.

It has some relevance in the Gamergate thread, but everywhere else, not really.

[Lord Satori]

This is a thread about things that make you smile. His first day of school made him smile. I'd say it's relevant.

[Blinge]

Nah. i'm with skykid on this one.

STAR TRAINS

Train Brain Brian swam like an Olympian through the tides of bone. His foot shredded to gristle, tears streaming down his face, plowed with his massive arms through a veritable ocean of clawing skeletons. Train Brain Brian’s skin was flushed and shined with steaming sweat. His BRIAN suit was shredded to mere scraps, exposing his finely honed body. Brian’s muscle was tight and wriggly, like beefy snakes wrapped in pink cellophane. His abdomen was built like bricks colliding in a black hole and his magnificent pecs dawned like twin suns over hills of ropey, bulk-filled muscle. Massively swole sheep grazed on hard and plump grass from the hard rocky ground. He also was really angry.

Brot Charles leapt up onto his throne, gliding across waves of churning skeletons like a surfer surfing with a throne on an ocean of vicious reanimated mayors, or a brick skipping across a roiling backwoods pond. He came nearer to Dord Schausmann, raising his claw-like hands in anticipation.

Dord raised above the tides of skeletons now. The undead reached towards his feet and disintegrated as they neared too close. Dord’s du-rag had fallen, his dark brown locks blowing back in the wind. The very fabric of space shook around him, and it was beginning to take its toll. His body was bruising and scratching from the sheer eruption of space around him.

Brot laughed.

“I should have known. Your psychic muscles aren’t strong enough to sustain such a Blap.” he smugly droned. “Go ahead! Waste your pathetic power on me.”

Train Brain Brian leapt up from the raging calcium tide. Blood seeped from lacerations all over his body. Like a panther, he gripped Brot’s gaunt arms and pulled hard, locking him over the back of the throne. Brot struggled to get free, but it was too late. Train Brain Brian’s sunglasses had fallen from his face; his cybernetic eyes beaming white light into Brot Charles’ sunken black eyes.

In only one moment, Train Brain Brian activated his laser eyes and Dord Schausmann clapped his hands together, initiating the final stage of his Blap.

White energy crackled and whirled across the battlefield. Bones crumbled, and the source span wildly. The white hole, pulled with the force of infinity trains. It was a force like none other since the big bang, which was assumed to have had (sqrt-1) trainpower.

In only a moment, the entire Trainspace and everyone there was pulled into the white hole. Screams were hushed into silence as quickly as they began. Trains wildly flailed through space, loud as ever and then completely muted. The silence was the only thing Train Brain Brian could experience.

It was terrifying to him. He felt adrift, senses dulled and the air pulled from his lungs. He felt… cold.

Train Brain Brian’s cybernetic eyes adjusted. They were still damaged from the laser blast. Brian had lost his facial hair in its entirety. His skin was chapped and hot.

Train Brain Brian was floating through the orbit of a massive, luminous gas giant. Its surface was patterned in layers of bright white and desert orange. Chalky fragments of rock pattered at Train Brain Brian, and he saw that he floated through a belt of dust circling the planet. A second belt reached in a band further out from the planet.

Brian, helpless as a goldfish tied to a lite brite, flailed hopelessly. His limbs were almost frozen stiff.

Brian saw the stars all around him. Great nebulae of red and blue gas bloomed through the galaxy. He saw another figure, perhaps one train length away. A dark figure, wearing tattered black robes and gleaming basketball shoes. Black fluid cascaded out around the body, floating slowly and freely in the low gravity environment.

Before Brian blacked out, he saw a train approaching. A train of gleaming chrome and great speed, rocketing through the cloud of chalk toward him.

Then, Train Brain Brian closed his eyes.
