thanks dad landis

yeah he's a good filmmaker but he didn't indirectly get those kids killed, he directly murdered them through his own negligence and ego. then he spoke at one of the funerals and mostly just plugged his movie. john landis is a pretty bad person and the fact that he was found innocent is mind-boggling. there's a good book on it http://www.amazon.ca/Outrageous-Conduct-Twilight-Zone-Case/dp/087795948X


anyway do steam pre-loads unlock more quickly on an SSD? because last time I tried to decrypt a game it took like an hour

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

murder requires intent, negligence is an absent of intent

how did they not render the inside of mouths

like half-life 2 has that

like it's not even that the textures are poo poo, it's that the art direction and the concept for how a person should look is fundamentally flawed

e: does the dialog change depending on your choices? I'm probably not going to play it again but I'm wondering if the surveys, mercy kills, etc have any effect or if they're just there to make you think

i don't think so, the ending is always the same at least

I have no experience with preloads because you shouldn't preorder video games, but I assume the majority of the performance issues come from seeking between reading the encrypted data and writing the decrypted data and that's not an issue on a SSD.
