Just discovered that the what.if-xkcd articles have alt-text on all the images.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

The early ones aren't that interesting, just descriptions of the image. The later ones are good, especially the Interplanetary Cessna and the Indestructible Hairdryer.

[Skyrunner]

Yeah, I'm reading the hairdryer one XD

Hehe, I'm saving up for that and Mark of the Ninja.  However, I actually have a stealth game idea I want to work on, and playing the exemplars of the genre is important to do that right >:I

I just wish I knew why AC feels so much like Fable to me.

Mark of the Ninja is awesome. And from what I heard from people talking about PAX it'll have more awesome soon-ish.

I enjoy the AC games for running around and murderizing people in various ways. I was especially amused when I tried to do one of those jump-kill things with the hidden blade but was interrupted by a bar hanging right above the guard I was trying to kill.

Now that you've mentioned it, I can't shake that feeling. How bizarre.

Mm, I stopped playing the series at AC2, which I did enjoy quite a bit (mostly for the same reasons as Mirror's Edge regarding the awesome nature of a properly executed run). All the talk about Brotherhood put me off, and 3-4 give off a bad silly vibe (Look! You're a native American/pirate assassin this time! Isn't that different?).

It's a shame, too, because the backstory with the Apples and such could have been taken in a much more interesting direction than the rather kooky thing about the Classical deities being aliens and the Church being a giant conspiracy. Or something like that, it's been a while.

Momdad box is best box. 


The set of alt texts for all the different airplane tests on various planets/moons is awesome.

There is substantial danger of distraction from the point here.

I needed this today, really I did.

"Reelect President Benford, because a rotting undead corpse is probably a better choice than most politicians."

Saw the redheaded girl from work today. Aaand I'm apparently an adept flirt. At one point, I said, "Quit checking me out, I'm working here!" Then I put on some sunglasses and walked away from an explosion. But in reality, it was good. I find myself very easily able to talk to her and apparently I know how to flirt very well, but also not so flirty that it's an overt advance. She invited me to go bowling with her though, so it's a start.

Good job, though I'm unsure of your goal in this.
At least it'll be good for your psyche.

I'm not really sure either to be honest. I'm not exactly into the whole one-night stand thing, but I'm also not sure if I'm ready for a relationship. So. Confusion! But I can still be happy.

Many politicians don't let morality get in the way. This one doesn't let mortality get in the way.

For me, I think it's the extreme blandness of the NPCs, coupled with the general similarity of quests, coupled with the dull ever-expanding economy, coupled with . . . well, soft blandness in general (most of the viewpoints are built on repetitive copies of the same model, so that they don't become distinct challenges but rather exercises in similarity; my feeling is that the mechanics of stealth games should be built more like Metal Gear, with the feeling that in general each section of the game is unique and the game is to be replayed many times in order to try doing things in different ways).  But I expect to be a walking, talking murderhorse before long, so I'll keep playing.

Interesting video. Now they need to test with much larger groups of animals and see if they form cliques.

She just wants to check out how you handle your balls.
