I wonder how long it will be before someone tries to fly a private drone into North Korea. No doubt they will try to shoot that sucker down, but this somehow made me think of that situation.
I think someone told me that one of those sequels is actually worth watching because it is better than the first one. I refuse to believe that, though. Still haven't watched them.
Oh... I also left out that Cosmic Encounter is a game with basically zero downtime, since everyone is usually involved in everyone else's turn. That can be something that keeps people happy in games when they HATE waiting for their turn. I am far more patient than some players, since I can handle old-school wargames that take all day to play, but I am easily in the minority.;-)
Games where there is a lot of variety and games with negotiation are golden in my book. This is why I adore Cosmic Encounter and Dune. Both games are made by the same guys and they were far ahead of their time. You will never play two same games of Cosmic Encounter or Dune. Such great games. Cosmic Encounter is definitely far easier to get to the table because Dune basically is best with exactly six players... and Dune can be too long for some players. I should also add that Dune was reprinted as Rex (rethemed sci-fi game in the Twilight Imperium universe) because the Herbert estate wouldn't give rights to use the theme again, so if you want to play a proper copy of Dune, it can be pricey. The Dune theme is also a big fun-factor for me, so I will always prefer to play Dune over Rex. Theme is usually a huge factor in me liking a game or not. Games with light theme tend to be lower on my list.
I also really love cooperative games, but I know that some people HATE those types of games. Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island is a 10/10 for me. Dripping with theme and so fun to play. It also plays amazingly well solo, so that is always a plus for a game.:-)
Sony is likely contractually obligated to give it a theatrical release. A lot of actors have it in their contract that the movie will have some sort of theatrical release, so even having it open in one single theater in Texas would count, for instance.
I know one thing for sure... HFCS doesn't taste exactly the same as regular cane sugar. It was the mid-80s when most of the major sodas converted to using HFCS and those of us who lived through that remember that it tasted different. In fact, I have recently discovered Mexican Coca-Cola (in glass bottles!) made with cane sugar instead of HFCS and it has totally won me over. I feel like I am drinking a soda again from 1984. Unless there is more going on in that formula in Mexico, it shows me that sugar tastes better than HFCS... no doubt about it.

We are Legion... and we are many... and we will bitch endlessly.
Great analogy! Wish I had some points today. :-)
Call me when there's a Leeroy Jenkins class. I want THAT expansion! ;-)
Ah... the Dualshock 2 was the one from the PS2... I actually skipped that system (I got the Dreamcast instead), so I guess I missed the pain. heh ;-)
So when is Be Cruel To Animals Week?
You piqued my curiosity. What is bad about the DualShock? I thought it was pretty nice. What is flawed?
Had no idea it won an award, though. They make awards for controllers? heh What is it called? THE THUMBY AWARD? :-P
How many gigawatts will that thing run on, though?

Hey, I wonder if they will go way back and mine the old animated TV show. Now THAT was some gritty fantasy! ;-)
Oh man... I used up my points earlier or you surely would have gotten one. heh :-)
That looks like an inventory list for an Infocom text adventure game. heh
Ah... I liked Moon Patrol. Just start it on Q or whatever the higher level start was. That avoided the overly easy (boring) bits at least some.
Landing was even hard in the old Lunar Lander arcade game from back in the day. heh *feeds it more quarters for fuel*
Also, the double-column menu wasn't a thing until Windows XP, I believe.
Poor Edge... Oh well... at least U2 doesn't have a bass player named Cortana.
I'd definitely give you points if I had any today. heh
Something like Snakes & Ladders (or Chutes & Ladders) is definitely worse than Monopoly. At least you have choices in Monopoly.

Oh man... Supremacy! That game can be fun, but it always ends with nuclear winter when you play with my friends. lol

Thanks for the clarification, Woz. Someone mod the man up! (No points here today.)

Didn't this not work for Sheldon?
