The only potatoes I see at Mexican restaurants are when they make breakfast burritos with ham or chorizo, eggs and cheese or offer hashbrowns for some breakfast plates. Or of course fast food Mexican that offers fries that can be smothered on all their super nacho fixings. Basically all Americanized shit.

We have one of the highest density cities for authentic Mexican food per square mile. I just read an article where this guy ate over 100 tacos all over the city and chose the top 10. Also, Tex-Mex is garbage.

I wonder if Mr Richy Rich will give you a similar type response.

 
Some people have already finished Assassin's Creed Syndicate  Fallout 4. I'm still playing Metal Gear. Mission 43.

Can Asshole Rose sing still? The little I have heard of him didn't seem like it. Hopefully it isn't the train wreck Van Halen was with Diamond Dave.

I saw Van Halen over the summer and Dave's singing was embarrassing. It was just terrible. They had presumably cancelled a show the week before because he was sick or something, so maybe it was attributable to that, but that's not a great excuse. Eddie was fucking on point, though. So overall the show was enjoyable for me. I saw them when they first got back together and started touring (5 years ago maybe?) and he sounded fine.. or I was at least too drunk to notice. Not sure what happened between then and now.

I'm not surprised to hear about a GnR reunion since there is a shitload of money to be made. I saw "GnR" a few years ago and Axel sounded okay. Not amazing, but solid. I would definitely go to the reunion show if it happens.

Hey, as soon as I'm done with BLOPS 3, I'm going back to MGS V to start on the (agonizing) process of finishing all mission tasks, though I'll probably play FO4 every now and then.

...Oh, right, then there's Just Cause 3 on 12/1 (HYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPEEEEEE).

Fallout games to me are a slow burn type deal. I'll play the thing for months, not in any hurry to get done with it.

 
I do love me some authentic dog or cat meat.

I'm curious what we call it when Mexican restaurants here serve dog or cat meat and get shutdown. Is that considered authentic or Americanized shit? Korean-Mexican?

Missed this earlier until the quote. Isn't the correct question did he learn how to sing? They made some decent music, but just like Rush the lead singer needs to shut the fuck up.

 
9 more dark world levels left. I have 3, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, and 20 left in hell, all of rapture and about half of cotton alley to pick from (I think I'm spent there).

Vig - any of those options seem like easy pickins?

It's all still better than that Glee shit or any Disney produced concoction. I remember swing choir in school and that shit should just stay right there.

They were talking about GnR on the radio this morning.  Apparently Rose is worth $150 Million and Axel is only around $35 Million.  Even with "only" 35 I am not sure why you would want to bother with touring.  I guess these guys are bored?

I saw them in late 1980s or maybe early 1990s. They showed up a few hours late. Show was pretty decent and the girls I went with loved it but that was enough for me. Listening to him do these songs with buckethead and the others he doesn't sound very good anymore.

I guess he has multiple personality disorder? Separate accounts for each identity?

 
GnR just wants to jump on the $100+ for a concert ticket. I have no interest in this as I'm sure Axl will get pissed off and leave the stage.

Sure, there are a few (use The Kid unless otherwise stated):

Hell 3x: Use Meat Boy and go fast. There really isn't much else to it.

Hell 13x: Go clockwise to get the first two keys, then slide back up the newly-opened "shaft" and get the remaining keys counterclockwise. I was having trouble with this one until adopting this strategy and it becomes much easier. Just be sure to catch the third key quick because it'll fall into the spikes after it bounces once.

Rapture 1x: Use Alien Hominid's special move (hitting the dash button in midair makes him shoot) by jumping and mashing Box/L/R while aiming downwards to bypass the gears at the top and get right to Bandage Girl.

Rapture 6x: Use Ogmo (the weird dumpy-looking Meat Boy who can do small double-jumps) to skip all of the switches except the last one by dropping below pillars and double-jumping to their other side. You'll need to be careful with your jumps at the very end to avoid the gears and get through before the walls regenerate.

Rapture 10x: Double-jump straight up as soon as the level starts to snag the first key and stay in that column until you have all of the keys. Then you can fall and double-jump to the left wall to get to Bandage Girl.

Rapture 14x: Lure the first three oobs (meat-balloon-things) to the left side then double-jump up the right outside wall to get to Bandage Girl, dodging the last oob on the way up.

The rest are a bit more difficult, so if there are any besides the ones above you think you can beat but you want to know if there's a strategy for them, let me know. Which Dark Cotton Alley levels do you have left?

Now I use to be a huge fan of Rush. I had all their tapes! Part of me still has a soft spot for them, but I don't listen to that stuff any more.

there's a few in dark cotton alley that I know have hiding places or something like the laser beam/shooting mouths. I can't find the timing on the way back for the one that has a constant circle of sludges in the middle that's a single screen (go to the right, get the key, go back and get bandage girl) but I bet watching a video for any of those three would get me there. and I picked up two in rapture before I went back to work so I'm almost there. tough as balls though - at this point I'm just looking for shorter levels to keep the frustration to a minimum. the worst are the levels where there's 2 or 3 tough parts and then when you get through them you either have to go back through them or there's a 2nd half that also has some tough ass parts.

apparently I got an A+ on all of cotton alley except the first level which made me pretty happy but I'm missing at least 6 or so in rapture. I guess I should go bandage collecting since I only have 10 and I'd like to have alien hominid in my little collection.

blah blah blah blah can't you make one post today that isn't an essay jeff yeesh

thanks for the info!

Love em or hate them (I'm on the love side) Appetite for Destruction is definitely one of the best rock albums of all time. Use your Illusion 1&2 could have been 1 really great record as well but they stretched it into 2 with some crappy filler tracks. 

Rush is one of the best bands I've ever seen live. They pull all that shit off. It's amazing to watch. I get not liking Geddy Lee's vocals as it's either a love hate thing too but the talent level is obscene. 

 
That Axl video was way better than anything I've seen from them before, because he wasn't singing and the band wasn't playing. And he was even offering to go home early!

Appetite for Destruction is a great album plus Robert Williams artwork is a big plus. This is the only GnR album I need for my music library. The other albums only have a song here or there that's good. Axl threatening to leave the stage was always good for a laugh.

I'm sure it's legit and all, but the font made me think of those advertisements in magazines that are disguised to look like articles, but have to use a different font.

I have had the tape used on me when I was in college for a hip flexor injury I had. tape was applied ove the leg and almost acted as a ligament. helped to stabilize the hip muscle so that it wasn't used as heavily. I was able to run and move much better with it and was able to practice and play while it healed.

The licensed part is more about the effectiveness of it. If it isn't put on the exact right way, it does lose some of its effectiveness and while may work, won't be working as hard as it could be.

 
Ok, so was I the only one that didn't know that strange dude that talked super fast that always was in the videos at cons was not just some random dude?  Apparently, he works the Nerdist and is on a program with the chick that licked the PSP.  I was looking for the gif where she licked a Vita instead and found where she did a show on Nerdist.  When I clicked the link I saw the crazy dude instead.  After doing a search for the name he was going by on there, apparently he has worked for them for a while.  I am sort of surprised there was not anyone in the group that was a big enough fan of Nerdist content to point this out in the past.

Alienation HYYYYPPPEEEE!

Housemarkee, you can have my money even though it would be nice to get it for free!

It'd be foolish if alienation was day one plus since there's got to be a lot of people willing to throw money at that game after resogun was kickass and fans of the genre are hungry for a proper twin stick like this after helldivers.

In summary, PS+ is shit if alienation isn't free.
 
I took Tylers advice and got a statement credit for my amazon visa, but now I feel like it's just saving me money, instead of being carte blanche for me to buy shit I don't need.

Website (or I think it might be many websites now) started by Chris Hardwick some time ago. I never really payed much attention but he always plugged it at the end of The Talking Dead. Searching for Jessica Chobot made me realize that more than a few of the old Tech TV and G4 people seem to have ended up there. It is popular enough in nerd culture that I am surprised that nobody in the thread followed it. Then again, maybe we are just all too busy wasting time in the thread and playing video games.

 
There's no TRU's around here any more any way. They closed a few years back. Not that there's none, but none convenient.
