Funny how I'm an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

If the modding tools are as good as NWNs level maker then that's even better as far as I'm concerned. I don't exactly need a relationship with Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine, haha

Yeeeah... I vaguely remember that. Granted, he was never meant to be a role model, he's a drug addict (although that doesn't stop certain men from thinking he's a badass to emulate?).

So I guess the real episode would go: one of the cool interns makes the recommendation when brainstorming around a white board, he shoots them down, and then assigns all manner of psych drugs that kinda work until the intern does the treatment themselves and get canned for it (but two seasons later we see they're a doctor doing a great job).

Oh my, the next Skyrim of modding is upon us.

Oh no, House always has to screw it up 3 times before getting it right. And it's never a reasonable thing, you'd get treated for lupus for some reason.

I guess you could say since earth is part of the solar system, the earth phenomena are space related (it's all about diversity anyway, why not include algae?). Plus what amateur astrophysicist hasn't had to deal with a cloudy night ruining a night if star gazing?

True, if and when I ever get around to replaying things that could be a problem (although the industry has seen to remaking everything I cared about, sometimes poorly, but that's another problem).

Another shout-out to the nerds running retroachevements though because they thought it that; they have an encore mode that let's you redo achievements. Although honestly you could just make a second account, that stuff is for emulated content anyway and it's not like it's DRMed, haha.

Only silly people flaunt achievements. I use them as a meta-gaming guideline, which in a good game leads to interesting and fun challenges. In an RPG, it's like a check box for getting every ultimate weapon, fighting every boss, etc.

Can also give me something to do in a game I've played but loved. Retroachevements for instance encouraged me replay SaGa (aka Final Fantasy Legend) with only one character in the team. Wasn't too hard, but definitely a second playthrough thing.

Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.

Hey that's the same as my place; let me join you in saying fuck landlords!

Reading the comments, this is more an uncool guide.

There's a couple of mods that do that, but I remember watching a streamer nuke a small town for the luls (his fans were on server and were cool with it). Nowadays most packs have anti-greving stuff, though, which is a double edged sword as claimed chunks can't even get damaged by creepers.

That said, I think my favorite is Thaumcrafts oopsies--- too much magic, you get eldrich horrors tearing the very fabric of reality. It's very unsettling and does turn every block to a corrupted stone that's a pain to break.
