If you want some real nostalgia, there’s a great cover of the music by VomitroN. They cover the entire game but I’ve linked the end credits here.

W-w-w-w-what do you want? Why do you keep touching me? 🎶

The secret audio track on the Warcraft 2 CD was amazing.

Contra and Mario were games I had mastered. Contra I could do reliably with 3 lives. When I was in grade 2 I remember starting up Super Mario 1 and selecting 2 players because my friend was over. Beat the game without giving him a chance. The game didn’t even switch to Luigi after saving the princess.

FISSION MAILED

And

I hear it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

I still get a feeling of pride reading those words. Even more when I didn’t use the Konami code.

I loved Battlefield 2142. Walkers as well as tanks and a floating battleship to assault was a lot of fun. The launch pods were great too.

The only issues I’ve had with epic is controller support being nonexistent. And no avatar icons.

I have quite a few free games from there, some I’d probably not have played. 20XX was free a while back and I just loved it. Then bought 30XX on Steam when it came out.

I ain’t going to give Epic a cent, but I’ll take advantage of their marketing practices.

Hrm, so the driver’s face should be projected onto the back and sides of the vehicle. This would allow other drivers to see which direction the driver is looking and if facial expressions were shown the alertness or distractedness of the driver would also be evident. Would probably help a lot when you’re trying to figure out what another car is likely to do.

I was thinking about this the other day and came up with a theory. When you first learn to drive you are worried because you are driving a large vehicle that can really hurt or kill people if you make a mistake. There’s an element of fear when you get behind the wheel for the first time, and learning the rules of the road help mitigate that fear.

As you gain experience with driving, that fear becomes masked by driving becoming a more or less muscle memory task, but doesn’t go away. It’s always just below the surface. Then when you witness someone who breaks the rules of the road (yourself excludes because you’re a good driver now) the fear can’t come out (again because you’re a good driver) but gets transferred to rage very quickly.

I thought this when riding my bike in an area where cars aren’t allowed, which thankfully is a large part of my commute. People along that stretch are polite with each other and smile when going by each other. That doesn’t happen in a car and I think the riding of bikes doesn’t have that same basis in fear that allows this to happen. It’s only when cars get involved that bike commuting becomes extremely stressful.

M-M-M MONSTER KILL!!!

Ah so your issue is, let me see here… Ah, actually using Outlook like a normal user.

I’ve tried switching to Thunderbird myself but it doesn’t support Office 365 without a third party service. So I feel stuck with Outlook.

Is that dream too big?

Ah, but you my friend are at risk of infringing on my patent. I’ve patented the alphabet.

I listen to audiobooks, usually of a book I’ve already read so that I’m not too interested in what happens next.

I have a timer set to turn off after an hour. But I often have to rewind about 55 minutes the next day to find what I can remember before I fell asleep.

Oh… I never butchered because that just seemed wrong. Is there any way to just get to the friendlier version without butchering?

Hey! Rogue Legacy is cheating. You have to play new game +5 at least to say you best the game.
