Exactly. It's like those kids' toys that are trapped inside an egg-shaped lump of clay. Throw it on the concrete hard enough and Pan loving a goat will just fall out.

You should probably just assume every fresh body of water you see in Florida has at least one gator in it. While flying over Florida it doesn't even look like a single landmass there's so much water everywhere.

This is 30 min long so not for everyone but it's about a 6.61km race every hour on the hour until you DNF. There is no set distance or time length - you just keep running until everyone else can't. Then you do one more lap.

You should check out The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young. It's about another ultra-marathon but across terrain mostly consisting of hills with no paths. A strange amount of people with physics PhD seem to take part for some reason.

Glad you liked it, it's a bit quirky so not for everyone. I'd like to actually run it one day but given 50k is the furthest I've ever gone in a day I'm a long way off winning. Just need roni to settle down a bit and give it a crack.

I can recommend this too as Barkley is another strange one. No one even finishes it about half the time. Seeing someone in tears at the end of the race because they got DNF'd thanking the organiser for putting on an awesome race is certainly something.

quote:

In 2017, Gary Robbins of North Vancouver, British Columbia, reached the finishing gate a mere six seconds after the 60-hour cut-off, almost becoming the 16th runner ever to complete the Barkley. However, he had taken a wrong turn in the final stages of the race, thus cutting two miles off the course; he would have been disqualified even if he had been faster.

Is Barkley the one where the organiser sets the "entrance fee" as whatever item he needs that year, so it could be socks, or t-shirts, or whatever ?

The one and the same. It's just delightfully insane. I really love the part where you need to tear pages out of the books to prove you've been to the points, then people get dq'd for having returned with the wrong page.

I read in some interview he did recently that he'd consider making a feature length live action movie.

I'd watch the gently caress out of some 3 and a half hour long epic mind gently caress he created.

It'd be like some Christopher Nolan-esque creation on LSD that would have people wondering just what the gently caress they'd seen for a decade to come.

its already 12 hours of terrible cutscenes, I can't imagine what that story would be with an editor.

I did really like the delivery gameplay but the cutscenes and boss fights were terrible.

I don't understand why he is worshipped by game nerds. I guess I didn't have a playstation as a kid so I don't get it? His plots are loving stupid. He's got a character who has magic skin or some poo poo, so of course she has to be essentially nude.

Hideous* Kojima has this amazing talent of taking ideas that sound really loving dumb on paper and making them into incredibly fun games. I haven't played Death Stranding yet- being unemployed sucks - but it holds true for the rest of his games, Imho.
