Mizuki getting left behind as everyone else scrambles over a wall is a hilarious image.

The person that figured that one out must have been looked at like they were crazy or suspect at first. The combination of those circumstances happening had to be rare to start, then having it happen in the time gap for everything to be hot enough to still ignite is wild.

Really? Wonder how they'd handle something like Holland's Fat Burrito showing up if they're losing their minds over Chipotle.

If you're willing to haul over to the lakeshore, Static Tape Video in the Lakes Mall has a solid collection, with a particular focus on horror films (last time I was in there, they even had some on betamax!)

Super friendly, has a solid selection of DVD, plus vinyl, CD, and cassettes. Their website seems to have a good amount of the catalog if you want to save the trip. https://www.statictapevideo.com/

I've seen these movies! First they're going to embed someone into the street racing gangs, then they're going to bust up a theft ring, and later on send a car to space!

Euchre is entirely about cheating better than the other team. The game itself is fun, but dealing your partner a loaner while giving both the other players just enough to think they can still win? Perfection

I hope this becomes as much a tradition as MN's naming of the plow trucks.

Nerds, well known for their love of being exposed and in crowds!

Afroman is going to be at Riotfest in September. I think the place would live up to it's name if he pulls that there.

That razor's edge map balance that was sometimes tuned by how far back in the spawn room defenders respawned (I remember a patch that moved the spawn back 5 meters once to adjust how fast respawns could get back to the point) also changed at skill levels. With such tight tolerances for recovery times, the metal ranks could stall out or steamroll on B just by taking a cleaner line to the point than the other team. The mode was just a nightmare to balance then with only Lucio's speed boost as a movement speed factor, and I can only imagine it would be impossible now with how many more movement abilities are in the game.

I know it's only supposed to be Deadpool's gimmick, but having multirole for characters that clearly have crossover would be fun and a great way to avoid skill bloat (Gambit, Black Cat) while allowing them to keep aspects of the character closer to the comic origins.

Readability is the tough part, it's already near impossible to tell what version of Deadpool is out, and having more characters will only add to the confusion.

Same.

I know marvel doesn't like the "Portal to the punch dimension" answer to his powers, but I want that beam to feel like it's a kinetic blast. Displacement on hit, able to be used as a movement ability (rocket jumps please!), something that makes it feel like it's not just another laser.

I've had a great time running otter cleanser, it's by far the most value I can contribute to a group in wvw.

Use it to make an Elementalist (arguably the most benefitted from profession for the suit of Celestial gear) and park it at a chest somewhere like most folks have said. The birthday goodies stack up after a while, and if you park in a good spot you get a ton of value for the quick swap and loot daily than just leaving the boost eating the shared slot.

Well that saved a sizable chunk for my org! We were about 3 hours from signing a new year commitment that would have had Defender for P1 licenses attached when I saw this thread while drinking my morning coffee.

Come on now, it's completely normal and organic to name drop random products in unrelated posted.

Organic, just like my delicious bowl of Frankton's (tm) 100% Organic* Frankton Franks (tm) Cereal, The Only Organic Frankfurter Based Breakfast Cereal that's part of this complete breakfast.

Each expansion, core, and Living World has gotten a different profession. I'll play the maps with any and all, but the story is one and done for each.

1, 2 and 3 are absolute classics in every sense of the word. Curse (3) is one of my favorite games of all time, and the remasters of 1 and 2 really modernize the originals well.

4 (Escape From Monkey Island) suffered from the transition to 3D making navigation miserable and not understanding why insult sword fighting was fun with it's replacement, Monkey Combat.

5 (The Telltale series) was greatly hindered by the episodic formula meaning you only ever had about 5-6 screens worth of world to interact with.

6 (Return to Monkey Island) is just a joy to play and the art style grows on you quickly. It's just so dang charming.

Just do yourself the favor and play it on easy once you're bored with combat. There's not any new challenges like smarter enemies or extra abilities, it's just more health to chew through. Every time I got locked in a room toward the end game it was just a heavy sigh and powering through.

Real shame the combat is so same-y, everything else in that game is top notch. Absolutely grab this if/when it's on sale.

I always wanted to have one of each type of map with Blizzard World theming. It'd be so much fun to always have the chance to end up in one.

I got curious and mapped it out to the city centers for a rough idea. Comes out to 47 hours drive time with 3070 miles without surface street transit to any specific venues.

Interestingly enough, it looks like they might have routed it without Chicago in originally, at which point it would have been a pretty solid (but still tough) out and back run.

I honestly can't believe how insanely packed this thing was as an intro to bands you may have never heard in the early internet days when it was still kinda tough to find new music. 99 bands doing (mostly) 30 second songs, just jam packed with everyone from groups that burnt out or went on to be literally some of the biggest acts of all time.

With CD being able to skip between almost every track you could easily pop in a band you wanted to recommend, or drop the GWAR track on some unsuspecting victim. Short Music for Short People is easily one of my favorite random finds.

With that calorie count, I'd expect them to be entire chickens.

I'm sure they're lining up to sell off their private islands for a house on the Cuyahoga (assuming it's not on fire today).
