If you sit on a bucket to take a shit instead of getting up from the PC because you're playing a game, you have a gaming disorder.

An excerpt from a conversation with an old girlfriend, complaining about the guy she dated after me:

"I hate Everquest."
"Why?"
"It's sucking up too much of [insert idiot's name, can't remember it] life."
"How bad is it?"
"He's not giving me enough attention. Last weekend he was playing the game, and ignoring me. So I stripped naked, sat on his lap facing him, and started chewing on his neck. He kept trying to look past me, ended up asking me to stop so he could play his game."


An early twenties man repeatedly turning down sex for a video game? Sounds like an addiction to me.

If this is an online, survival type game...then I'll pass on it.

But...GIVE ME A REMASTERED INTERSTATE 76!!!!!

Hell, give me an Interstate 77 as a sequel with a short introductory cutscene to remind me of the events of I76.

I have the original I76 on GOG but, sadly, it runs very poorly on modern hardware.

The Constitution, meh, who needs it.

Mandating displays of patriotism are what they do in places like North Korea.
#BoycottNFL

Interestingly enough, the people demanding that others salute the flag against their wills are also the ones who lean towards a fascist dictatorship as their preferred governance, yet they are the ones who think they are the true patriots and "real 'Muricans". They couldn't be farther from the truth.

I loved Planetside, played it 1,000's of hours.

I tried to play Planetside 2 on 3 different occasions, never lasting more than 10.

Gave up on Lost in Space after surviving 4 episodes of that crap. First of all, it's "Lost On Planet", or perhaps LOST "in space", if ya know what I mean. Except LOST had... actors, at least.

Netflix's "The Rain" has been panned, apparently, and it is a thoroughly mediocre show, however it actually has a plot that seems to move forward, which makes it more watchable than "Lost In Space".

One of the worst sci-fi shows ever made, imo Will happily skip that sequel.

Cutter's post is spot on.

But I'll add that the books are very much about the neutrality question as well. The Witchers want to be neutral but Geralt finds that he can't, because he has connections to non-witchers in the world and he doesn't want to lose those. That being said, he still finds ways to play both sides when necessary or when it suits him.
I think the games did an excellent job of capturing the themes from the books, and I don't think that would be as compelling without Geralt as the main character. It's a love and friendship story really, those are his motivations in everything he does... the "witchers only care about money" thing is the stereotype he's overcoming and internally battling with.
