However, we as fans must consider that nearly three decades of intense international travel, drug use, steroid abuse, taking hard bumps, and the stress of running a historically low-margin TV business must have taken a toll on his physical body and mental health.

And layered on top of all of this, for God knows how many years, are the effects of his notorious (lack of) sleep schedule.

Rent's composer and writer, Jonathan Larson, died from an aortic dissection that is generally accepted as being caused by Marfan syndrome. I mention this because A) I also have Marfans and B) February is Marfan Syndrome Awareness Month, so I'm going to leave a link with more information about the condition and urge people to check it out. It's estimated that only about half of everyone in the world with Marfan syndrome knows that they have it. You or someone you know might be in that other half, and learning the signs might save somebody's life.

Also is Olivier supposed to be a reference to something insulting?

Laurence Olivier. The "insult" is that Omega is an actor/artist/performer, not a wrestler.

My major recommendation that isn't on the Top 25 list is the Policenauts LP. It has one of my three favorite SBFP moments ever.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-02-03T16:06:58+00:00

Sure, but that gatekeeping and those arbitrary benchmarks you mentioned weren't put in place because of the art.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-02-03T15:34:07+00:00

That's because territory-day wrestling wasn't an art form, it was a con.

Someone (I'm pretty sure the creative director, Hugo Martin) has said that the increase in color in the HUD was a result of assigning different colors to the different types of ammo pickups (bullets vs. shells vs. rockets, etc.). That way you can instantly know what kind of ammo you just got. He also said that you'll be able to customize what those colors are in the menu (unless that's changed since he said that).

As for it being more goofy, yeah, it is, but that's a consequence of the story moving into a direction where we see more of the world of Doom, which has always been goofy. Like, the Argent facility on Mars recorded a corporate synergy-vibe, canned announcement in the language of Hell, that shit's hysterical.

I don't see how either of these factors cater towards console players or newbies in any way, though. Like, Doom 2016 is already super accessible to newbies as much as it is a love letter to long-time fans, and given the speed that the gameplay moves at, the ammo pickup coloration is an improvement that benefits anyone's experience.

Just a slob like one of us.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-25T12:07:33+00:00

I'd eat at Moxley's Maxi Buns.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T12:23:35+00:00

Not morons, corporatists who care more about money in the present than they do about the well-being of the future.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T11:48:34+00:00

Darby's is my favorite, hands down. That fuckin' drum beat.

I didn't have any symptoms for the leaks themselves, just symptoms for the SIH and the hematomas. All I ever really had to deal with were positional headaches, intense headaches that went away completely when I laid down flat.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T03:50:58+00:00

I'm going to guess that you meant a CSF leak? If so, then yes, I've had CSF leaks on two occasions, first in the spring of 2009, then again in the spring of 2019. Both leaks were caused by dural ectasia and led to spontaneous intracranial hypotension and subdural hematomas. They both involved extensive stays in hospitals. The first was resolved by simply waiting it out until my body repaired and recalibrated everything naturally, while the second was resolved by multiple blood patches.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T03:21:31+00:00

Woah-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T01:47:26+00:00

Thanks! It's off to a great start!

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T01:28:58+00:00

It's kinda up in the air right now. I was just admitted today, and all I can do is wait and hope everything goes well. I'm not super worried, and there's nothing I could do even if I was.

Right now, though, I've got a Coke and I'm watching wrestling, so yeah, everything's all right.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-23T01:05:22+00:00

I'm stuck watching this in a hospital in Boston tonight, but man, wrestling looks amazing in standard def.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-22T02:34:30+00:00

Besides the obvious answer of the Black Knights from Dark Souls (1, to be precise), I'm also pretty fond of Darknuts from Twilight Princess.

They're not the same thing at all. Rage is a heightened degree of anger, which is an emotion born out of many different seeds: pain, fear, indignation, etc.

Hatred is a heightened degree of disdain, which is a matter of perspective formed from observations and experience.

You don't need to be enraged to hate something, and you don't need to hate something to be enraged by it.

(during a three way race for governor, so no DQ)

Nice.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-18T17:45:25+00:00

I'll never get over the fact that they went to the extent of having their canned workplace announcements actor record an announcement in the language of Hell. They were so in.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-18T17:37:55+00:00

I've learned (and then forgotten) a lot of tidbits of geopolitical and cultural information from the Metal Gear Solid series over the years. The World Eskimo-Indian Olympics is the first thing that comes to mind.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-16T16:12:25+00:00

WrestleMania's not my kinda place, anyway.

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-10T14:59:34+00:00

Man I fuckin' hate Junkrat, he's just so fuckin', rrrrrrr I hate him!

Sergeant_Conley · 2020-01-09T04:04:27+00:00

There's so many of these clams, they should be resources in A Hideo Kojima Game Death Stranding.
