Funso Banjo: Dec 22, 2003

A really good game is free if you grab it in the next two days.

Limbo - http://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/ - is a solid, nervy 2d game that I paid about $8 for a few years ago, and really enjoyed and felt it was money well-spent.

No hoops to jump through, apart from having to have a steam account. Everyone should grab this.

What are the odds they'd just release GTA Online as a free standalone game?

Why bother now? They are giving away GTA Online bundled with the single player game here free. The complete deal. So why later on make GTA Online free, without the single player portion. I think for most people, the single player part gets you hooked and makes you play the online part. So it's more profitable to pack the solo part in with the multi, just to increase engagement.

Gonna get sidetracked here:

"Lefty loosey, righty-tighty" made no sense to me as a child, and to a lesser extent today, and I got in several shouting matches with my mother because of it.

No part of this is going inherently "right!" Like, east, east-northeast, and east-southeast are all going primarily down, and the southerly bits are going left, and it's a full fuckin' rotation, there's no reason to say it's going one direction over another. I guess some weirdos look at the top-left of the faucet or wheel or whatever like they're reading a fuckin' book, and when looking at that small bit they're like "Look like it's going right to me!"

Anyways, when you look up you're loosely rotating your head, the back of it is going down but the front is going up, etc.

I use the righty tighty thing with my daughter when teaching her about screwdrivers. The bit of the screwdriver (and hand/wrist) that you can see (the top) is moving to the right. One child I knew, this didn't make sense to. But it turned out later in life, when she got tested, that she suffered from Dyspraxia. She struggled to know left from right, it takes seconds for her to know which you mean when you say "right", even into her early 20s. I sometimes wonder if it affects more people than we think.

I�m hoping that with Madden finally getting ported this year is the one where NHL finally gets over to PC. I don�t think it�s going to happen but I can hope.

Madden has been on pc the last few years, I think.
