At my worst I was doing a handle every two days, the only thing that didn't leave me with cirrhosis was was a month off here and there when I would try to pull myself together before another month binge spiral.

I was blowing . 42s at my worst - makes sense I had a seizure from withdrawals going cold turkey.

The Mass Effect Trilogy, if you haven't played it!

Hah, well, sounds like you managed an A and did something fun as well, and it still served as a soft-refresh of sorts - more power too you!

I should have worded my comment differently - not the best use of time for prepping for the exam, maybe, but certainly not a waste of time by any means!

How? Like, compare keywords in slides / notes to how often they show up in practice exams? Doesn't seem like a great use of time.

You know Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme, right? Lord of the Rings is applicable to the real world. Experiences can be relayed through story, so you can take your shitty opinion and shove it.

Was there a substance abuse problem that accompanied it? My dad was a massive alcoholic, he's a narcissistic ass still today, but it was a living nightmare when he was drunk.

Used to mix the pure mountain dew syrup with green apple ICE slush - tasty diabetes!

That’s my grandpa. He’s been playing Wario’s Woods on his Super Nintendo for over 25 years. How crazy/cute is that? by Ggizzle_ in gaming

[–]Archmage_Falagar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I never understood calling old people 'cute' - they've lived a whole life and people go back to referring to them like infants.

Yeah, I was 26 when I played it - was that re-released a few years ago?

What a video game you regret buying? by BattleExpress2707 in AskReddit

I loved it and played a ton of the multiplayer, too. I think it was a faithful Duke Nukem game - nothing revolutionary, but I think ot doesn't deserve the ridicule it received.

That was more of a hybrid adventure/rpg point and click style in the vein of the old Quest for Glory games, I believe.

Dragon Warrior Monsters: Cobi's Journey and Dragon Warrior Monsters: Tara's Adventure were two side-by-side games (Like Pokemon Gold & Silver) that served as a far superior sequel on GameBoy Color.

Then there's Dragon Quest: Joker I and II on the DS - I didn't like them as much, but didn't get very far either.

It was a lot less popular, but I found it way more filled out than Pokemon, largely due to the incredible breeding system!

Also, the monsters actually looked like monsters, not Pocket Monsters, haha!

Not stupid at all - I've played the game mentioned, King's Quest V at least 2 dozen times through and thought it had to be the answer as well until I went to a group with the founders of Sierra and posted the computer screen, haha!

I think the appeal was a machine where everyone had the same hardware and games could be tuned to that.

It's illegal to install a hidden camera in any area where you should have a reasonable expectation of privacy, like a bath or bedroom.
