Isn't it weird how we never got a Star Wars video game where you play as Luke and run around with a lightsaber.

Like yeah the old platformers on NES and SNES and whatever but all those Jedi Knight, Shadows of the Empire, Force Unleashed, Bioware RPGs, terrible prequel games, and I can't think of a single one where you play as The Guy From Star Wars.

Oh hell I didn't know that. I was using right and left on the dpad which... maybe does the same thing? Hard to tell. There are a lot of things about the controls the game doesn't outright tell you.

Also why am I doing errands for a guy who laughs like an evil man? It seems like maybe not the best plan of action.

But I would like this person to choke to death on their own bullshit. I can accept that terminology evolves, but I can't accept that "role-playing doesn't make for a Role-playing game". Like now stats make for a role-playing game also, but role-playing is in the loving name.

Hey, all you old-school Doom and Quake players, I have a question about Doom...um, the new Doom. Not called "The New Doom" but just "Doom" for some stupid reason. That's strike 1, new Doom!

I've never been into multiplayer games because I'm a misanthropic agoraphobic human hating fire bombing loner. So this question is specifically about the single player. Also, I'm playing with a proper mouse and keyboard, not the NES Advantage or whateverthefuck incarnation of that homophobic racist Linkin Park kids use with their 30 FPS games.

I want to pick up Doom, but I'm not entirely sold on it. I haven't actually seen any videos of it since a little bit before its release, and I wasn't really liking what I was seeing. What I saw was some frantic, wonderful running and gunning, jumping and splattering and blowing away demons and it looked like a proper update to the Doom classic, a Doom for the new generation. But then I saw that switching between weapons brought up a weird UI and it brought the game into slow motion. Well, this offends me. Doom didn't slow down for nothing. Leaping behind cover and swapping your weapon and then leaping back was part of the chaotic fun. I know it was pretty simple back then; you didn't have to reload your gun or anything. But I don't LIKE the idea of time slowing down to swap out my weapon. So I am wondering, 1) can this be disabled and 2) if it can't be disabled, do you find this hurts the gameplay, especially coming at this from the thirst for Doom-like nostalgic ultra-violence?

My next question pertains to finishing moves. I think I saw a Youtube video with a guy playing a beta of it (or something) and he said that doing finishing moves makes you invulnerable during the animation, and he went on to say that that becomes a rather necessary gameplay element, with so much going on one needs a brief break of random invulnerability. This offends me. I've been playing some other games wherein performing finishing moves makes you invulnerable, and I use this to my advantage. If it's part of the game, I'm going to use it, but I sure don't like it. I think it pulls me out of the immersion. Not the finishing moves -- that's fine -- but let me be at risk doing it. So I am wondering, 1) Does it still make you invulnerable, or was that an early build feature, 2) are there multiple finishing moves for various monsters? I don't want to see the same finishing move 100 times, and 3) do you have to initiate the finishing move, or does it just happen mid-combat?

Oh, and final question: How is health handled? Is it like classic FPS games where you have to monitor your health and go get medikits and such, or is it like pussy boo-hoo modern FPS games where you just squat behind a table and wait for your health to come back you loving pussy wimp?

American Lagers are just water with the homeopathic memory of being beer, they're not beer. Avoid them. This includes Budweiser, Coors, etc. The "Light" or "Lite" versions are even worse. Never drink them.

Beers for people who don't like beer: Hefeweizens and Belgian Wheats. Nice tasty beers.
Stay away from dark Stouts or IPAs until you have a strong taste for beer.

Shock Top is pretty good stuff that's widely available. Blue Moon, anything by New Belgium Brewing Co. (Although again, avoid the IPAs for now)

Sweet Baby Jesus I haven't had but googling it, its a Dark Porter with chocolate and peanut, I probably wouldn't drink that as your first ever beer unless you wanna be turned off.
