It just occurred to me that I still lie about my age on all those age restricted things (putting that I'm 87 or something) when I haven't had to for years.

It's just a good habit, really. Keep it up.

The only difference is that it doesn't make me feel guilty anymore.

In the States, that's a resume.

To be fair, it's also a CV in some places as well.

Steam's Discovery Queue just showed me the same game twice in the same queue, and a game I already own. Still need two more cards for that Holiday Noir badge...

The only thing I've heard of having an effect from lying about your age is Dead or Alive 2. Apparently, it controls the amount of Gainaxing that goes on. Haven't played DoA2 yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to drum up a Dreamcast emulator. Plus there's a certain scene involving Survival mode's highscore, or so I hear...

It's not supposed to do that.  Like, ever.

My uvula seems to have become partially detached. There's loose skin dangling at the back of my throat. How the Hell would that happen?

It's kind of sore.

It will show you games you already own if you have, for example, the "game of the year uber edition" and the base game is a separate entry in the steam database. I don't know about the "twice in the same queue" thing though.

Anyway, my WTF:

Origin is also having a christmas sale, so I went to check out mass effect 3. I thought for $10 even if the ending is trash maybe it's worth it, ME1 and ME2 were fun.

But it's not just $10. It's $10, then $5 for the digital deluxe mega upgrade. OK, fine, maybe I'll buy that and get all the dl....oh, that's not all the DLC, if I want the (story only, not cosmetic crap) DLC I have to pay 4,000 bioware points (on top of the $15 for the mega deluxe edition) because points let them rip you off more. So I look at the point cost and it's $10 for 800 points, so I need to but 5 packs of points and spend $50 more dollars just to get the complete game, bringing the total up to $65 for a 3 year old game.

WTF EA, seriously? Now I remember why I never buy anything from you - I'll just google a video of the major plot points and use my money to buy like 15 other games on steam instead.

Not a different entry. Instead of saying "Add to cart", it said "Play now".

... sometimes it hits you, how far things can escalate. I just noticed, in the game I'm playing, that I just walked up and casually beat to death a larger-than-human, cave adapted velociraptor, which has a bite that flash freezes flesh and a hide that emits acids that are apparently can eat through full plate armor to devour the skin and bone beneath. They're capable of instantaneously leaping about eight times their body length and, though this was just two of them, tend to come in sizable packs.

This is basically my character's normal, now. I started killing green skinned midgets armed with sticks. Literal sticks. Now it's freakish acidraptors with deadly icicle teeth. Is this how you make a living in a fantasy world...?
