How thin do you want to stretch it? Dragonball is based on the old Chinese myth of Journey to the West. Neon Genesis Evangelion is based on Christian myths.

Huh? I wanted to see whether Portal 1 and 2 are free as well to recommend them to family and friends but for the life of me I can’t figure it out. They don’t show any info on purchasing them whether I’m logged in or not.

Tons of books. Basically anything made before the 1900s.

My cousin programmed a simple labyrinth game on my C64 by randomly placing symbols on the screen and you had to get the cursor from the upper left corner to the lower right without bumping into a symbol.

I was so impressed.

I see “your age” similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are “my age”. I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased “my age”.

And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid’s schools “my age” is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it’s off the chart.

Delicious!

A sweet bread figure. The white thing is a pipe. Sometimes it’s substituted with a lollypop. I have no idea why they are sold for this feast.

They are supposed to look more like this:

Although I’ve never seen them with nuts.

My mom sent me a Weckmann for the St Martins feast because we don’t have those here.

It’s fat and ugly and missing an eye (ugh, raisins, don’t like them anyways) and I love it!

Definitely 1. The second one wasn’t bad. I mean, nothing beats a katana fight in trailer a flying through a tornado. But something about that game was always missing for me. I couldn’t lay my finger on it (apart from Cate’s actress changing). And I hate the endlessly respawning enemies.

Either way I think you need a cold shower!

No One Lives Forever

To this day I have no idea why I bought it. And I bought it close to its release date. I would only do that if I had been absolutely obsessed for months with previews and stuff. But I remember none of that.

And still it ended up becoming one of my all time favourites.

I haven’t been through this but I did cause a small oil fire in a pan once. Putting a kitchen cloth over that took care of it. You can buy special fire blankets. I think they should be in every kitchen even if you’re not afraid. If you know not to put water on an oil fire they are just annoying, but they can damage your equipment.

So yeah, my advice would be to hang one of those blankets into your kitchen.

Fuck.

I kinda want this.

$ 39.99

LOL, nope, the classics play just fine as they are.

Holy shit, that’s awesome! Finally Epic is doing some good. Let’s hope Sweeney doesn’t swoop in to stop it.

Aiming in MP3 is done through the IR pointer. I loved that game. It has the best FPS controls on the Wii. But it has absolutely nothing to do with gyro aiming.

With gyro aiming you do the large movements traditionally with the right joystick and only make micro adjustments with very small natural tilting of the controller. I thought I wasn’t using it until I deactivated it. It has nothing to do with picking up the controller and pointing it at the screen. It has nothing to do with making any gestures. An outside observer might not even notice that you’re using it.

Yeah, the trouble was that this show was explicitly produced for Amazon. Maybe the writing was already on the wall and that is why they didn’t put in any effort.

Then you have never used it for aiming assistance. Still not as good as a mouse but it finally comes close.

The bad rep for movement controls comes from too many poor implementations. As long as it is subtle and meaningful it’s awesome.

That shit was even bad if you had it ad-free through Prime. Watched a show there and it would have a half second black screen at the place where an ad would be. Sometimes in the middle of dialogue.

With any luck they actually want to bring true innovations to either Windows or Xbox. Getting support for gyros, accelerometers, back buttons or touchpads into Xinput would even benefit gaming on Linux since most games seem to default to that as a lowest common denominator.

As someone with a crippling disease that forces downtime upon them let me tell you, it’s not as nice as it sounds.
