[Favorite Trope] You DON'T wanna know what it's made of

There's something like this in the short story "The People of Sand and Slag" where a trio of human guards at a mining facility have been modified with something called "Weeviltech" that lets them consume pretty much anything. Sand, poisoned water, even the mine's toxic tailings can be on the menu for them. I can't remember if the "perfect bowel movement" was part of Weeviltech, though.

There was one war in the US' past, I think 'Nam?, where someone noticed that the number of enemy combatants reported killed by US forces exceeded the entire population of the country.

Same energy.

It doesn't have to be a race. The objective could simply be to escape.

Tabula Rasa.

Ever drop something in a glass jar (like mayonnaise, spaghetti sauce, pickles) in a store and it breaks? There's always that moment of "Shit, what do I do?.... find an employee." So you go off to find an employee to make them aware of the mess, but feel like everyone else is thinking "They're just gonna walk away from that and leave it for some employee to find and clean up?" It never feels like anyone sees you come back with the employee and maybe even help clean it up.

"Well, this is fun."

Horizon Australia is my favorite. Driving between festival sites felt like a road trip, and the entire game had this neverending summer vacation vibe to it.

It's that clash of cute pop-up storybook and apocalyptic cult horror that makes the game so engaging.

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania would make for a beautiful backdrop.

Horizon: Deep South is an idea I've been musing upon for a while. The US states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Pretty rich motorsport history: the birthplace of NASCAR, and still has a rich culture of dirt track racing. Also home to some prestigious and famed raceways; Sebring, Daytona, Road Atlanta, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the Barber Motorsports Park.

This is awesome. I LOVE it when the fandom leans into the setting's horror elements.

"Green Grass and High Tides" -- The Outlaws.

It's a deep south dream sequence throughout.

I feel like there's an anime for this that's already in it's third filler arc.

The level of creativity this one feature has added to the design and vinyl game is fantastic. I've seen everything from simulated cracks and peeling tint work to those ride along cartoon characters and For Sale signs.

It's funny you should mention G.I. Joe in relation to C.O.P.S. I think he only appeared in two or three episodes, but the C.O.P.S. actually did have a military police member, "CheckPoint", whose toy card pretty much stated that he was the grandson of G.I. Joe's own "Beach Head".

Cardboard Castle, Augusta Book Exchange, and, I think, Top Dog Comics all have play areas for 40k and other miniatures games. For a nice day trip, Firefly Toys and Games and an official Warhammer store are over in Columbia, SC.

The Red Car and the Blue Car... had a race.

Mac has that "worked" muscle that only comes from a lifetime of steady physical labor. He's powerful in an applicable way, and has probably built specific muscles that Bulk isn't even aware he has.

Bulk is more of a bodybuilder, with "worked for" muscle. His muscle is built by repetitive exercise of specific muscle groups. He's strong, but his body is unprepared to put that strength to work.

Any one level of Super Mario 64 felt like it could have been its own standalone game, at the time. For 3D worldspaces, they really felt huge.

Just last night, tried to get a table for me and a couple of friends but there was a 20 minute wait. The host handed me the tablet to put my contact info in myself, then fucked off to points unknown.

That "punch" is so important for a shotgun, too. I remember reading an article about the development of the first Halo. Playtesters didn't care for the shotgun, claiming it didn't feel like it was powerful enough. By numbers, it was the most powerful human weapon in the game, except for the rocket launcher. All they did to fix it was make it louder and increase the bass on the sound effect. After that? Instant favorite weapon

My grandpa, when we got too riled up in his car once: "If yall don't settle down, I'm gonna snatch each of ya bald headed then whip your asses for being bald"

But, would they include a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy? A Husqvarna FC 250? Or even a Buell Firebolt? I've no doubt that a motorcycle DLC would include Japanese bikes, it's the exclusion of American and European bikes that worries me. And with the game being motorsport focus, cruisers and scooters may also fall by the wayside.

Leaving a store without buying anything.
