I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

The court of public opinion sadly does not follow courtroom procedure.


It’s basically the same way Tale of Two Wastelands works when combining Fallout 3 and New Vegas.


Borderlands 1 and 2 still look great in comparison to a lot of games that came out around the same time. The stylized cel-shaded textures help hide the lower-poly environments and really make the world stand out. Most games at the time were trying to go for a “realistic” look that just resulted in bland brown and gray environments that look terrible.


This is why so many indie games are awesome. The graphics don’t need to be great when the soundtracks and gameplay more than make up for it. Those are what actually matter. I have most of Undertale’s OST committed to memory at this point lol



The poker game in both games is in a very obvious casino environment. PEGI is smoking something.


Corpo-speak in general is absolutely frustrating to read.


There are a lot of issues with New Vegas that I never would have been able to solve without the community section. It’s got good reason to be there.



I really don’t think they can top Handsome Jack from BL2. He didn’t overstay his welcome and was genuinely entertaining with how much of a douche he was. The Calypso Twins weren’t “villains you love to hate”, they were just “villains you hate” because they never shut up and are too two-dimensional to be entertaining.


I’ll vote with my wallet by not buying from companies with ties to the Chinese government, thank you very much.


On Firefox there is also the BlockTube extension that lets you block videos or channels entirely. You’ll never see them again.




“Our tech is cutting edge as far as I can tell, the Creation Engine’s aging very well! We’re not planning on doing anything about it.”




I found the maps to just be too big. Doing many of the story and side missions are an absolute chore (the Bosun’s ship in particular was a low point in this respect) because of how much running you have to do. At least in 2 the maps were filled with things to do and had varied environments that kept things from feeling same-y. I’ve beaten 2 many times, but never felt the urge to replay TPS. The game just feels like a slog.


Torgue weapons also can’t get critical hits, which really lowers their potential damage output. I never use Torgue unless it’s something like the Unkempt Harold. Especially frustrating are weapons with Torgue barrels that shoot these terrible grenades or rockets that (again) can’t crit. What good is a Jakobs rifle with a Torgue barrel over literally any other barrel?


I’ve been playing a ROM hack of Pokemon Emerald called Pokemon Emerald Rogue, and it’s been a blast. Every run is a new opportunity to use Pokemon you’d normally never use, and every fainted Pokemon hurts as once their health is depleted, they’re gone for good (mostly). Items and Pokemon are reset every time you lose, but you also get money to buy items to bring into new runs and also the opportunity to catch a new “starter” Pokemon. It entirely changes the way you play the game and there’s a ton of choices on how to progress. A new version is currently in the works which’ll make it even better. The trainers are also no pushovers and have well-built competitve teams unlike the main series, so it’s not a total snoozefest. Highly recommend.


I used my DSi so much the battery nearly exploded. Swelled so much it broke the rear panel… yet, I bet if I get a new battery it’ll fire right back up.


It was enough to convince a few others to do the same, however pointless it is. They’ve been told before, but don’t care either way and will keep doing it.


And this is why I haven’t bought anything Nintendo since the DSi. Fuck you, Nintendo.


Welcome to the place washed by Iliac waves

There’s two and a half peasants with the same ugly face

You’re not into small towns? Check out big-ass plains

Fifty times the size of Skyrim’s, twice as many pointless caves!


Ricco Harbor is a chore. Those damn clouds that keep knocking me off the sky platforms are the worst, especially when I’m near the end and get launched. I’m enjoying the rest of the game though the controls are definitely a lot looser than other 3D Mario games.


Ronto sounds like an excellent place for a Fallout game. There’s so much Canadian lore that could be expanded upon.


I ditched it for Lawnchair, and I have no regrets. Works just as well as Nova did.


GOG is DRM-free, so it’s the better option. They’re otherwise identical.


PC. The console versions only support mods from bethesda.net, and are far more limited in mod scope and availability. PC has access to Nexus and other sites for mods, and there are tons to choose from. Mod managers make modding your game pretty straightforward as well.


Been replaying heavily modded Tale of Two Wastelabds and have been having a blast. Fallout 3 is a lot better with NV’s mechanics.


I think they’re talking about The Frontier, which had a lot of… objectionable content.


Bad idea… responding to the call marks your number as “active” in their system and they’ll spam you with even more calls. I found that out the hard way.




If you’re playing it at an arcade it would cost a quarter. This is the NES console version of Tetris that’s being discussed.


Crashing the game was in fact the goal. It was discovered by using a bot that the game would eventually bug out and start trying to read tile data from the RAM, which gave a chance for the game to crash. No human player had been able to reach this game crash until now, which is why it’s a big deal. It’s the first time someone has technically beaten Tetris, as normally every single player will eventually top out and lose either due to mistakes or bad luck with the pieces.



Sinophobia? Bullshit. Being critical of the Chinese government is not being hateful towards its people. Find something better to be offended over.



TheDooo, Harry Mack and Marcus Veltri were still very much making Omegle videos as recently as weeks ago. Huge loss for them that Omegle is gone.
