Know what makes video game reviews even better? Some services, like Steam, let you change your feedback. So, say a developer like Wild Card. Guys who made ARK, a fairly popular and fun game people liked, make a lovely choice and release some dumb DLC for an early access game? Nerds get mad and the game goes from overwhelmingly positive to mostly negative in like a week.

Yeah, for all his saying it doesn't bother him, I think it really bothers him.

Ray-Ray McCloud's 74-yard punt return went to waste after the Clemson returner dropped the football prior to crossing the goal line, handing possession back over to Troy with a touchback.

Steam also doesn't do any of this incremental point bullshit, it's either thumbs up or down. Not only that, you can see recent reviews in their own separate category.

How is "Don't celebrate until you've actually accomplished the thing you're trying to accomplish" not something people just inherently understand?

Turns out M-W lays down some sick burns to their competitors, too.

I would say this is the death of dignity, but I'm not sure if Part 2 of this video will show him trying to buttchug to even more hilarious circumstances.

Never mind the possibility that there was a mistake on the vendor's side.

It's not about the tameness of the video, but how the humor of Beast has really shifted from amusing to sad over the last few years. Back in his really awesome days he was funny because all the bravado was a front for a guy whose common sense was just weak enough for him to do some crazy poo poo to himself in front of a camera. Nobody thinks of Beast as being mighty for chugging a bottle of tabasco sauce, we're laughing at him because he's all macho and into it right until the intro is over and he's trying to find reasons not to do it. You don't go into a Beast 'competition' to see him succeed, you go into it waiting for him to whine all the way through it even though the only one pushing him is his lack of self-esteem or common sense or intelligence. There's a sense of drawing the curtain back a little on the idea of these stunts or that there's a human being in there who knows just how foolish this all is even if they don't grasp that maybe they shouldn't. It's a perverse kind of showmanship.

But with the beer one, it's just the Beast being an rear end. The sense that he knows this is stupid is gone and replaced by someone living alone in a house hitting rock bottom. This is more Shoenice than Classic Beast, it comes off as sad. All performers evolve over time, but this doesn't even seem like performance as much as attention-seeking because he knows the 'walk across the nation' thing is something personal that has very little impetus to make it interesting. He wants to walk across the nation the fastest? Cool! But that's not the same stuff as what we have seen before. And watching him make this drill pump beer apparatus seems more like something he does to keep from dying of boredom in his spare time rather than the edited stunts he used to do. Not to mention he seems to be high a lot of the time gives this whole thing an air of pathetic desperation that really isn't needed. I suppose the schaden that could be grasped from this now is that Beast is either going to continue down this road until he hits rock bottom and we may get some freakouts, but that's very weak tea compared to the weird poo poo he used to do and have a bit more enthusiasm for that wasn't simply to get drunk/high/wasted faster.

I guess I want the lighthearted Beast back who would hurt himself. Maybe if he took off some time and recovered that would be fine, but all I see is an addict who now wants to drown his pain and thinks that showing what he does on a daily basis to do that is equal to what he did before. Which is some schaden, but it's a deeper and darker kind than watching some frat bro eating hot stuff and suffering for it.

I once ordered, and paid, for one 5.1 surround sound system and 3 turned up. About 3 months later I had a phone call from a very embarrassed sounding man asking if I had the 2 extra ones.

I love a good ordering gently caress up story.

I once ordered a box of books for my university student club and got said box of books and a box of really good quality soldering irons. I emailed the place about it and they said they had no record of it. I ordered several more times from them over the next few years and they never mentioned it.

I couldn't give them away because almost no one knows how to solder and had no use for them. There's one in my shed and as far as I know the rest of them are still in the earth sciences office, gathering dust.
