all i know about wardell is he said some creepy things about a female employee and the thread title for one of his games had something to do with beekeeping
He said that bee allergies weren't real so he brought a bunch of bees to work to prove to an employee who was allergic that he wasn't allergic.

I've watched someone die from a bee sting. it got him from behind his knee and he died within under a minute.

He only said "I've been stung!" and then just ceased.

the poison hit one of his major veins and/or arteries and worked that quickly.

I would not gently caress around with bees like that even if I don't believe that people were properly tested for allergies. Because real bee allergies will kill people before medical help can arrive.

The Taint Reaper is so superstitious his beliefs caused someone to die of a homeopathic bee sting, despite allergies being a myth.

Counterpoint: The Xbox One is the new Colecovision, which was the console that caused the great video game crash by having the wrong kind of RAM and making every game you put in it just play E.T.

Tomorrow is my birthday so I need to figure out what to buy myself as a gift. I'm stuck between Dragon Ball: Xenoverse or forking out extra and getting a N3DS. I haven't owned a DS since 2009 so I've missed lots of games on it.

I'm buying Bloodbourne regardless.
N3DS. There's a ton of good 3DS and DS games out there.

Also, last I checked he was like the department chair in charge of X-Box Live Arcade stuff at Microsoft, but that was awhile ago.
Seriously it's ridiculous what he was able to pull off. That battle messages are even occasionally coherent is impressive given that all he had was a text dump.

Kuja gets interesting toward the end but he's just some guy for most of the game. The story and characters are mostly really good though. I just want some endgame sidequests to give some closure to characters who get forgotten early on (Freya) and who have a lot of loose ends in their backstory (Freya) or who are Freya.

FactsAreUseless

Like I wish we saw more of Kuja early on, especially since he kills the character you spend the first two discs fighting.

I know. I just want more Disc 4 content.

Also the best party in the game is Zidane/Steiner/Freya/Amaranth. Or, if you want to really break the game and get rid of any conceivable challenge, Eiko/Steiner/Freya/Amaranth. White Draw is an absurd skill and it makes Freya crazy good.
