If I got the name right, yes.

The more you know.

When you're trying to go as cheap as possible, yes.

The funny thing now though is it was like $60 for a 500 GB hard drive...I can get a terabyte for that price now.

And yes, that's $120 down the toilet in 2 years.

Isn't it true? PC gamers are somehow arrogant. In my place. They usually commenting on a game's while playing the game with dirty words. And they still in elementary school! And they are playing in Point Blank.

It doesn't come as a surprise to me at all, and I'm surprised it comes as a shock to you. People are gonna generalize anything. That's how the Internet rolls.

And the PC Master Race bullshit IS out of hand. And some PC gamers are arrogant just like with console gamers. But of course generalizing it as "PC Gamers Are Arrogant" is stupid.

The vocal minority is arrogant. Who cares. People who judge me because I say I play games on PC are the kind of people I don't want to be friends with anyway.

Well, I've always attempted to be an inconspicuous paragon of humility and modesty when I present myself as a PC gamer. So I can't understand arrogance and generalization.

I probably missed it at any rate Aloha is starting soon. As someone who loves FTL and Artemis this game combines some of the best of both.

Of course, but I don't want to start flipping the second I pull the trigger. Unless I use some Heavy Armor blocks as a counterweight.

I doubt that the force of a bullet being fired is enough to significantly accelerate a warship that likely weighs tens of thousands of tons.

One bullet? Of course not.
Thirty Gatling guns firing all at the same time? Different story.

So Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an avant-garde masterpiece.

Definitely GOTY 2013 material.

Every anti-console argument you've made has always had the unsaid implication that you don't believe that people reading it have any idea what you're talking about.
