Thanks for reading the NPD top 10! Nice to hear the brief commentary. GTA5, right?!? Talk about a long tail on that game...

Props to Cheapy for the great music intro tracks. Seems like you would enjoy some tracks from "Above and Beyond." I highly recommend their tracks "Naked", "Another Chance", and "Peace of Mind".

Remembering my own experiences as an adolescent boy I was expecting a completely different narrative when Cheapy mentioned finding the shirt balled up in the back of the closet in his son's room...

Conversely, I was painstakingly ironing some aloha shirts I'd stored beneath my bed for the winter while listening to this episode and wondering if a steamer wouldn't work better...

Funny,t here really is a board name called Dragon Castle

Re: the armchair psychology bit-

Big life changes like a new baby disrupt homeostasis, and things like jealousy are normal. People usually don't know how to verbalize it and often end up acting out their feelings. It's possible that's what this guy did in some kind of subconscious protest. I'd be more concerned he has a substance abuse problem, since it becomes a problem from a treatment perspective (in part) when substance use begins interfering with responsibilities / obligations / etc. There may be a really good, circumstantial reason for why it happened, but as a clinician, I'm pretty skeptical.

Just a heads up, the link on the main page header goes to 534 instead of 543

Jumanji really did have a lot of dick jokes.

Would like to hear your opinions on God of War once you all make it through. As a father my self i thought Atreus was well done as an NPC he is never in your way, and he is very useful once you get some good upgrades for him. And personally i enjoyed their whole journey from start to finish. Plus i think him being by you side had a nice payoff to the story as well.

I guess this came a few weeks ago but I just saw it today, what is your guys take? I know Microsoft needs games this year... is this enough if this is true? I know it originated from 4Chan, so take it with a grain of salt, but knowing who microsoft has had deals with in the past, a lot of it seems likely.
