cat doter posted:I kinda wish Tomb Raider did turn out to be a horror game, because it has The Descent references all over it. I'd play the poo poo out of a The Descent game. I remember like a year before the game was even unveiled a bunch of concept art leaked featuring these really gnarly Japanese ghost designs, so it actually was supposed to be a straight up horror game at one point. I wish that had been the case, because while I do think it's a good game, it really lacks any kind of personality.

Costco has surprisingly good 'bad' pizza from their food court. I mean, you have to drop a few napkins on it to soak up the 1/4th cup of grease first, but after that it ain't bad.

Yeah for birthday parties Costco pizza was the go-to and they are really cheap. Better than any of the chain pizzas.

Jackie D posted:But seriously gently caress Papa Johns A long time ago when I was in the military and living on base, Papa Johns was the only pizza place that would deliver on base. I hate a lot of Papa Johns. Usually, I'd order a couple large pizzas every Friday night and that food would last me through a weekend of playing World of Warcraft. One night in probably about 2008, I didn't realize how hungry I was and how fast I was eating the pizza. I ate a large pizza in just over an hour and was sick as loving dog for the next 72 hours. I haven't been able to eat Papa Johns since. Even the smell makes me nauseous. Their pizza is awful. Though, I really do like their garlic breadsticks.

Weird, the mailbag came from Grand Rapids (I live in Grand Rapids). I think this is actually the second mailbag from here as well. Who knew there was such a large giant bomb fanbase in GR?

I've been thinking all year, "Man, I should really go back and play more of Tomb Raider, I didn't get that far". As I watched the Quick Look, though, I kept having flashbacks of ghost samurai and poo poo. So I looked up a plot synopsis, and I guess I had apparently played all but probably the last hour of the game, but had completely forgotten almost all of it. I know it was almost a year ago, but I feel like that definitely says something about Tomb Raider.

I see Tomb Raider and the Last of Us as two sides of the same coin. Both AAA games made under massive budgets at the twilight of the cover shooter boom, one made a story to serve a good video game, and the other used a video game to serve a good story.

It's fun to play but there's really nothing that sticks with you, and that intro part where you have to get Lara to hunt and kill a deer was memorable for a couple months until TLoU came out and made it look like a joke.

I've always thought the magical sci-fi stuff in Tomb Raider games was really out of place. Like, I know it's been a part of the series since the very beginning but it was REALLY stupid in the first game and has barely gotten better.

Uncharted was a revelation for B tier developers worldwide. You had to copy it down to every detail to get any recognition with some developer circles. Even the dumb sci fi parts.

I couldn't tell you a single loving thing that happened in the single player campaigns for Battlefield 3 & 4 and Medal of Honor. Like, maybe I could vaguely describe some setpieces but that's about it and I beat BF4 less than a month ago. e: also I just started played DmC: Devil May Cry and Brad was well correct to include it in his top 10 from last year. that game is goddamn stylish as hell Yodzilla fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jan 29, 2014 |

"Takes itself too seriously" is a pretty dumb complaint since the funniest and most enjoyable, yet stupid stories are often the ones that take themselves seriously. And DmC sure as poo poo isn't guilty of doing that anyway, with all the winks to the player and in-jokes.

I know I'm a page late to the pizza discussion, but I feel this is important: guys buy a pizza stone. Even if you don't want to make your own pizzas, I've had leftover delivery pizza that tasted way better after reheating it in the oven on a pizza stone than it did when it was fresh. If you eat leftover pizza cold or from the microwave you are missing out.

Tomb Raider borrows from Uncharted pretty shamelessly, but at least the series has its roots in stupid supernatural poo poo. I agree though the slow build up to end of game reveal was very Uncharted-like in execution.

Like all I can think of when I read that is my late grandmother getting pissed off at Total Recall and saying "It takes itself too seriously" because Arnie is genuinely acting like he's in a strange situation on Mars.

Also Jeff poo-poo'ed it a couple podcasts ago but the fry a slice in a covered pan for a couple minutes trick on reheated pizza completely works. You'll want to heat it in the oven first but if you love a crispy crust there's no better method.

If you put a cup of water in the microwave with the pizza it will make the crust stay good. That said, room temperature is definitely the best way to eat old pizza.

Why would you put effort into eating old junk food? It's like you don't know what junk food is for. Pick it up and put it in your mouth. Done.
