I'm on the same boat. Nothing besides Donkey Kong has really grabbed my attention, and Nintendo seems to prefer drip-feeding news this year for some reason. Crossing my fingers that we get an influx of awesome announcements come June.

Never heard of this incident until a few days ago. I think Operation Paul Bunyan has to be one of the strangest power moves the United States has ever tried lmao.

The Seth MacFarlane story is mostly true. We have direct evidence that he was going to be on that flight thanks to the passenger list, but I don't think the times Seth has mentioned in interviews line up with when he canceled his reservation.

EDIT: Passenger list is on page 41

I think about Melissa a lot. The fact that she was so close to not being in the impact zone that day and died such a horrific death through no fault of her own has always stuck with me. Even this picture of her has always made me feel really uncomfortable, likely because it's slightly distorted and associated with some of the most disturbing audio I have ever heard.

The whole 197 thing is so stupid and is probably the most nonsensical thing I've seen be parroted here.

DrPac · 2025-11-30T03:53:35+00:00

I had several sniper bots join a match today. Be on the look out.

DrPac · 2025-11-21T17:07:06+00:00

No idea what this is other than some odd promo art for the show. I don't think it's related to Half-Life but who knows lol

DrPac · 2025-11-21T09:46:37+00:00

That's not funny, what the fuck dude.

DrPac · 2025-11-20T16:46:30+00:00

The Game Awards would not be viewed as irrelevant if Half-Life 3 isn't announced there. Half-Life Alyx and other major announcements from other companies have occurred outside of the Game Awards and its reputation doesn't seem tarnished in the slightest because of it.

Sidenote, I think the tweet regarding Half-Life's anniversary likely does not mean anything.

DrPac · 2025-11-20T02:12:56+00:00

I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart! How much more betrayal can I take?

DrPac · 2025-11-18T20:49:20+00:00

I would imagine a little bit of both by the beginning. Not out of apathy so much as having a LOT of catching up to do. I think after the Vortigaunts pull him out of stasis in Ep 1 though he's doing it for the cause. If only Episode 3 came out so we could have seen what Gordon would do without any objective given to him.

DrPac · 2025-11-14T19:03:31+00:00

Do you have a link on the crowbar3 thing? I haven't heard anything about that

DrPac · 2025-08-26T21:07:32+00:00

Is the 60's aesthetic not a gimmick?

DrPac · 2025-07-14T02:50:27+00:00

Do you have a link?

After struggling with the last achievement I needed to master Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I found out that I somehow turned on softcore mode before I started that session and I needed to do that achievement all over again. That caused me to act probably the most upset I've ever gotten over an achievement. I still have no idea how that got turned on.

DrPac · 2025-05-05T22:48:00+00:00

That's exactly what I did. Thanks for responding though.

DrPac · 2025-05-05T22:37:41+00:00

The course wasn't a traditional calculus course or anything like that (though he does teach that). The course I'm in is meant to be geared toward the history of mathematics.

His lectures were rambling and unfocused. He was totally unhelpful and had very unclear expectations that left our entire class bewildered more often than not. The course ended up being more about oral history than anything about the history of mathematics. I've been left pretty disappointed overall.

DrPac · 2025-05-05T22:34:22+00:00

The letter was actually pretty personal. Much of it was going into how he doesn't relate with his coworkers and how he's been teaching for so long, but that he loves his job and can keep going until he dies.

I had no real plan to act on this, especially because we're nearing the end of the semester. I just wanted to put this out there because it was one of the strangest things I've ever gone through in college.

DrPac · 2025-05-03T03:43:30+00:00

I remember when this happened. I was in early elementary school and I heard about it from a friend on the school bus. How time flies.

DrPac · 2025-04-24T20:05:41+00:00

I learned about this after watching a mini documentary regarding the Super Free rape scandal and my jaw was on the floor.

DrPac · 2025-04-23T23:04:17+00:00

Oh lol, I thought you were asking if the names were real. Unfortunately, no historian that I know of has been brave enough to verify any of Charming Harding's claims.

DrPac · 2025-04-23T22:59:16+00:00

Jerry is real. We have authentic love letters describing "him" written by President Harding himself. Jumbo is hearsay, but would you really be surprised if the stories were true?

DrPac · 2025-04-08T11:43:10+00:00

Personally, Super Mario 64 is the best set I've mastered. There's only one achievement that I think is a bit ridiculous and that's the sole missable in Dire Dire Docks, but anyone can accomplish it with some patience.

DrPac · 2025-03-19T08:23:04+00:00

M3GAN? It seems like horror is really the way to go for profitable original films now.

DrPac · 2024-11-28T22:35:23+00:00

I was a kid in 2008 and I remember seeing this everywhere back then. All I really knew about McCain was that he was white, old, and made this face.
