Imagine that you’re having the best dinner of your life. Everything you like, jizz-in-your-pants delicious, served by beautiful people of your preferred sex. Then dessert comes, a massive cake, but while you’re enjoying it, you notice a different flavor. And a smell. You look and in the middle of the cake, there is a half-consumed turd.

Would you still rate it “9/10 great except for the turd”? Or would you remember it as the restaurant that served you a turd?

Dragon’s Dogma 2 launches to “Mostly Negative” reviews criticising previously hidden microtransactions, and man, what a bummer

I celebrated when they broke away from Activision. They aged like fine milk.

I’ve never served on a sub, but I’ve seen videos, and “luxury” is probably the last thing that comes to mind in relation to submarines.

Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.

Sounds good, let’s put it in charge of cars, bombs, and nuclear power plants!

Sandstorm. I want to see the dude run some more.

I’m pretty sure that would be a massive due process violation. Don’t get me wrong, I’d happily violate the board, but cutting corners like that would torpedo the prosecution’s case. A mistrial or an acquittal resulting from prosecution’s fuck-up would probably be the worst outcome – after all, that’s the reason Cosby is a free man now.

One does not simply walk into Mordor. One has to build a spacecraft because even the eagles can’t fly there.

“Get rotated, idiot!”

The shark decomposes into a finite number of points and turns into two identical sharks. Stefan and Alfred chuckle in their graves.

Barbarian: PUNCH. If you hit the chicken enough times, eventually you’ll impart enough energy to cook it.

Read the article. The jail can provide vegetarian, but not vegan.

Jail isn’t fun.
