SOCOM kicked ass. One of my first miked experiences. Nothing more fun than sniping people in their spawn with an m4 in the jungle map and then hearing people whine that you’re cheating after. “Stop sticking your head out of the gap in the middle of spawn and I won’t shoot it.” Paintball in the oil rig warehouse… Shotgun duels on the roof of the desert map… Good times
Oh yeah, it’s in my first post, but here’s the main page. Just read more this morning before work. I had no idea you can kill the soldier in the violence district or the wolf in the temple. You can also ride the train and ferris wheel in happy town.
I was looking through that wiki and apparently there’s events and stuff that are triggered depending on certain conditions being met. The other night I was watching someone play it for Halloween and they got a super long cutscene for filling in the face in the middle. I always thought the board was just for showing the kind of dream you had and that everything else was pretty much random or dependent on the day counter. I’m gonna have to load it up now and see what I’ve missed.
Funny that they claim the hat man comes from 2008. LSD for the Playstation had the hat man, though he was called The Gray Man, all the way back in 1998. I kept trying to figure out what benadryl had to do with a character from an obscure game beyond both being sleep related…
Ahhh, that would explain the weird fibrousness of the paper.
The whole pic gets weirder and weirder the longer you look at it. I really want to say it’s AI. Like, read the text underneath it, it’s all like weird engrish.
SURVEYOR
“… colonel hearted ferrars. Draw from upon here…”
PROJECT MANAGER
“…way get cold spot its week. Almost do…”
Then there’s what appears to be a scantron fish behind the torn off paper. The glossiness of the paper for what appears to just be a torn out newspaper want ad. The weird texture of the tear…
“Honey? I don’t think my meds are working!”
“Why not?”
“The words on the bottle are trying the run away.”
Yup, he and all of his race throw whiskey bottles as their main attack.
Used to beat it over and over on the NES. Pain in the ass trying to get the crystal ball before it disappears.
Piss off both sides and just spell it. G.I.F.
It’s apparently the American pronunciation. Though, half our population can’t read anyway, so I’ll just keep saying it the right way. Or maybe we just go back to the original Greek, Epochē.
My wife does this at work with those little clear plastic ducks…
I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I still vividly remember being at a buddy’s house, there were like 4 or 5 of us taking turns playing Playstation, Marvel VS Capcom, and watching it on his other TV and all of us stopping to watch as they feed the guy in… That scene made me so queasy.
Based on who’s morals? The ones who are shooting women and children as they try to get help. The ones killing aid workers and doctors who are trying to help? Those people’s morals?
I bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don’t want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library’s stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.
Not a news article, dude, so expect the post to be taken down. This is better suited in one of the gaming channels, but I totally empathize.
Also, expecting a public response is a pretty big wish, G2A has always been sketchy at best, use at your own risk. If you can manage a refund, count yourself lucky. Otherwise, take it as a lesson. Call it an idiot tax and stay away.
Definitely more of an estimate just cause I was eyeballing it and trying to remember what I did before I forgot it all.
Lot of the stuff I cook for work just kinda gets a little of this and a little of that based on how much I need to make. Then when they like it, I have to go and remember weeks later what it did!
Thanks! I don’t really have a problem with mayo either. I’ve never been a fan of mayo based “salads” - potato, macaroni, egg, coleslaw if you want to throw that in there… It’s just not a texture I’ve ever liked. Same reason I don’t do pasta salad with dressing. Cold and slimy just aren’t my thing.
And in case anyone wants a really vague recipe.
Slice and rinse the potatoes and boil for about 25mins until they’re fork tender.
I only had precooked bacon crumbles, so I rendered them down a little more along with some olive oil to use that to cook the onions. Bacon gets chopped and goes into a large bowl. Onions go into the bacon grease/oil mix along with maybe half a palmfull of chives and parsley, couple half teaspoons of black pepper, half a palmful to a full palm of sugar, a few shots of ACV, maybe a quarter to half cup, a good squirt of stone ground mustard, maybe half a teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions down til they’re browned. Drain and mix the potatoes with the bacon, then pour the onions in and mix it all together.
The asparagus is literally just cento balsamic glaze and some extra bacon crumbles. Chicken was nothing fancy either, adobo, a brown sugar bourbon spice mix, and some old bay baked 2 hours then topped with Aldi BBQ sauce. Too hot to grill so it went in the oven.
My clients destroyed it though.
Remembering this on our old CGA PC… I’d have to sneak out into the garage to steal time when my dad wasn’t using it.
I never realized this is where I got my thing for bright pink, cyan, and white… Even playing through Starfield, my ship was those colors. Next time I play it I’m gonna have to make a Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket.
