Oh no they call me all the drat time, but I never answer.

I called the number, the man said the cops were on their way to my house. I recorded it and had some fun with the man

Sometimes they call me on my business line and I get a kick out of that, trying to get their address so I can send them an invoice for my time. 5 minutes of my time is worth $20 minimum and I can actually prove it.

Too bad they always move offices every few days. I managed to get the landlord of the office they were using on them one time.

Here have some really awesome music from a Sonic game you probably didn't play and even if you did play it you still might not have heard this music because the night stages stupidly constantly interrupt their own awesome music everytime you get in a fight.

Don't the night stages have their own unique combat music per stage but you never get to hear it because it always starts with the same notes? Or maybe I'm misremembering and thinking about the stuff you said.

Waiter, this band keeps shooting pearls at me.
Kb+m sounds really unintuitive for moving your guys direction around. I'm not even sure how that works.

Controls are nice when you start remembering what skills you have equipped and the buttons that do them.

I'm not touching MMOs again until I find one that isn't focused on mindless grinding and stupid raids.

So I guess I'll just never play an MMO again.

Ff14 is like a final fantasy game, story and all, but with goons when you have to do poo poo! A lot of people don't even top tier raid, you really don't have to. Like you really really don't have to, but it's there for people who enjoy that.

Doesn't FF14 pretty much require grouping, though?

GW2 is generally more solo friendly and makes cooperating with random folks you encounter a lot easier. It also just released a new expansion which has a lot of cool stuff and shows some learning from the mistakes of the previous expansion (primarily godawful map design). They'll probably add raids again down the line, but there's little reason to do them beyond cosmetic stuff.

But at the end of the day there's no overlap between the mmo genre and games that respect the player's time.

I watched someone stream FF14. Its literally mindless grinding and raiding. There's some other stuff on the side but the core of the game is everything I hate in MMOs.

Granted they never got to endgame, which people say is better, but that's what people say about basically every MMO. And I don't want to have to spend dozens of hours to reach the actual fun part of a game. They aren't supposed to feel like a second job.

My favorite bit of music in Gun Hazard is a racist diatribe from a British song they sampled during one scene for some reason.

Anyway I just want to say that Rise and Shine, Ursine is now my favorite Dangit Ron Paul song.

It is. I don't mind having it on as background noise though while I do some reading, easy work, or am playing a game that doesn't require my full-attention at all times.
