On the edge of a nervous breakdown here...

I finally managed to get to Olmec with the way to Hell unlocked, and had my best run ever ($300k+, jetpack, shotgun, ~70'ish bombs, etc.), beat him, and then flew around for a bit to make sure I hadn't missed anything.  When I headed down to continue to Hell of course that giant golden asshole had already disappeared.  

All the tips and tricks and research I've read/watched about Spelunky and I totally zoned out about having to zoom in to the door asap.  My fiancee came running to see if everything was ok because I screamed like I was being murdered.  Which I was, by a lava man who clipped me and sent me into the stuff.  Couldn't even get to the regular exit properly...    

 Well, if I did it once it means I can do it again, but man I fucking love hate this game...

Yeah gotta fly up and get everything first. As soon as you beat Olmec he starts sinking into the lava. Only a brief window to get into hell.

Well I'll be damned (and not a woman):

"Fiancé vs. Fiancée: No, these spellings are not interchangeable. There is quite a significant difference between them, in fact. Fiancé refers to a male engaged to be married, while fiancée refers to a female engaged to be married."

Rest easy Quinoa; you remain the token PSNOT Amazonian :D

They don't bug me.  I'm just a fan of funny jokes.  Penis jokes/gay jokes = watching Two and  Half Men or Big Bang Theory.  Dull repetitive jokes repeated over and over.  

There's so many things to make fun of me about, get some new material people.  Even if your gay jokes were funny it would be ok, but they're so forced  and juvenile and don't even make sense half the time. They just make you look stupid when you go for the low-hanging fruit and still somehow miss.

EDIT: Topside's Tootsie pop joke was pretty decent.

Jesus, I'm so pissed at this Call of Duty game.

Lost my checkpoint apparently, so now I have to restart the mission I was on. Great. I thought this was next gen?

Played a round of Exo Survival and NO ONE fuckING REVIVES! We're in wave 6, get ambushed and two of us go down. Another dude comes in the room, clears it out, and then just stands there and watches us bleed out. He goes down, and the other guy basically does the same thing to him. People are seriously fucking retarded.

I don't revive. It's not my problem your dumb ass got shot.
 
It's ok, because I have to play 50 games for the trophy, and if they all only take 5 minutes each, this will go by a lot faster than I thought.

Ha, the "wine cooler" story in there is fantastic:

Short story:

EGM92 had like 5 or 6 of his Xbox360s broken, and he kept making threads about it. He was getting pretty pissed, like anyone would if they had six 360s in a row broken. This part, at least, was true.

So one day he posted a picture of his 360, to prove that he wasn't making it all up. Everyone looks at the picture and is like "uhm, you idiot, you have your 360 on top of a subwoofer. No wonder it keeps breaking." And so we have a good laugh. But then he comes back with the implausible excuse: "that's not a subwoofer, that's a wine cooler. I swear, a Thompson brand winecooler." Later on someone finds an picture of the RCA Subwoofer that was in EGM92's picture, and it was an exact replica of what was in the photo. Thus: EGM92 made up the wine cooler excuse to cover his own stupidity. He kept the story going for a while, saying he'd take a picture once his camera got back from Fujifilms :)lol), etc etc

But basically, that's the story. EGM92 kept having 360's breaking claiming it was Microsoft's shoddy hardware, and while it might have contributed the reality was he had his 360s on top of a giant subwoofer (and he tried to claim it was a wine cooler). :p

Did you already get the other Co-op trophies? I think you have to get to round 50 in one session. So far with randoms, I haven't even gotten past ten lol.

Nope, I'm going to be doing that one with people I know. Randoms are so retarded it's not even funny.

Another awesome update, after every game it's telling me that I lost connection to the host. So I check my stats, and it says that I've completed 10 rounds. Well, I've done about 5 games now, and made it to round 5 in each one and apparently most of those aren't counting.

I'm not sure, is this a next gen experience? Because it seems like other than the graphical updates, this is the same shitty, lazy development as the last 30 years of call of duty.

 
The graphics look nice at some points but then rather bad at others.  The pool during "Atlas" has water that is just a flat line with no movement at all.

Yeah this is way thicker than Guinness. It was weird, the first three swigs I took I was expecting Guinness (because of how dark it is) and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't taste exactly like tree bark.

What is the beer? I missed that bit of information. Would love to try it.

- Lack of HP/MP pickups from the bushes in-battle (bushes give light refills only for Igniculus)
- Faster enemy speed on the timeline
- Greater enemy HP
- Greater attack damage done by enemies
- 20% decrease in XP earned
- Igniculus heals less per glow (Eg: At around level 17, he heals 7 HP on normal and 5 on Hard)
- (Unconfirmed) Decrease in potion strength
- (Unconfirmed) Decrease in item drops

Sent a message to Matt around 930 asking what the plan was and didn't hear back.

Where was this message at? I never got a message from anyone about the raid. I looked at like 10:45 or so and Cro was running it with Stellars group, you weren't online, I switched back to basketball. If you used PSN, need to stop using it, it sucks balls (but its never taken 3+ hours to show a message) Didn't you say around 10:30?

Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptist. It looks like they do distribute to Maryland Virginia and DC, but it is likely to be much tougher to find there than in Utah since that is where their main facility is.

Most barrel aged imperial stouts like that are pretty tough to find in general. That one just hasn't gotten hype like so many others, so you can luck out and find one around if you are in the right states. I'll try to think of something else similar that might be more readily available for you, but nothing is coming to mind at the moment.

ETA: Their distribution map had the states they go to in white instead of filled in as I expected so I had to change up Maryland.

In my defense, I didn't join in on the "tyler's gay" jokes until they had been ran into the ground and you started to speak out a little about it, which in my eyes made it all the more funny when I ran them further into the ground.

Note to self... learn what the phrase "in my defense" means

I was busy playing Pigeon Sex Simulator. Which shockingly is hardly about sexy avians and way darker than I ever could have anticipated. Probably one of my favorite games of the year, no joke, and everyone is free to laugh at me all they want because I probably would have too prior to playing it.

So your team is an example of my biggest pet peeve in fantasy football. You're fourth in points, right behind me and Omaha, but 11th in standings because you're unlucky as sin in your head to heads. And people will say you can fix that by going roto, but then you don't get the fun of head to head trash talking (not like we do any in this league, but still).

I think I'm just coming to the conclusion that fantasy football is about to run its course for me. Of course, the problem is that I've been in my main league for years, and it's one of the only ways some of the guys keep in touch in that league after people have moved away, had kids, etc. So I guess I'll have to suck it up and keep doing something I don't really enjoy that much any more just to stay in touch.

Oh well, pointless bitching over.
