AOL’s dial-up internet service will shutdown today. This marks the end of an 33 year era. Just 163,401 households reported using dial-up in the most recent Census data.
Arisu – a listless, jobless and video-game-obsessed young man – suddenly finds himself in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which he and his friends must compete in dangerous games in order to survive.
I’m like what’s the difference between this and the other one, Squad Games. That one is Korean, this one is Japanese. haha.
So the whole, everyone gets murdered when they fail a game is starting to get really old after 6 seasons between the two shows. It’s starting to get played out like Zombie movies/TV. In this one, I’m glad i don’t have to play any of those games because I’d have no idea what to do. It’s easier to die than to figure out how to play the games. haha.
In this one, I think they’re just randomly killing way too many people for no reason. It’s not even mistakes they are making or if they’re failing the game like Squid Games. They are just gruesomely dying for no reason.
Absolutely terrible. I would not recommend. It’s like a crackhead art piece.
They thought they’d be “realistic” and make the zombies naked.
They did the “alpha” zombie thing, which has been done about 20x after the zombie movies got saturated.
This one is the most amazing yet. “Double Stuff Orio” . She’s about a month old.
It’s a super friendly kitten. We beta tested 3 other ones before picking this one. We’ve never been so happy in our lives everyday with this kitten. She has a black chin and a black dot on her nose. Matches the other kitten “bandit” (8 months). She meows hi whenever you grab her. She loves all the other 3 cats. We spend all day going where is she, and we want to pet or play with her. She has eyes popping out of her head. Bug eyed cat.
The 2 kittens love each other. (Bandit & Doublestuff Oreo)
The 8 month old one doesn’t know it’s full sized now. Our last one “bandit” is really nice to look at but is hard to pet and runs all the time.
Bandit does make all these interesting chirp sounds I’ve never heard a cat before. She loves running around or on the outside “catio”.
“Bandit” Looks like an owl.
Dexter Morgan awakens from a coma and sets out for New York City, determined to find Harrison and make things right. But when Miami Metro’s Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast.
This is by the main designer of Blizzard for all of the classics including SC: Brood War, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch.
That was pretty much your only shot of ever getting a real Blizzard game again. There’s no one left at the old company Blizzard who just hired all new people and call them “Blizzard” for 5-7 years.
I really wanted these guys to do well. I had nothing against them and some people I really liked worked there.
These numbers are just insane. There were more people playing a flash/web based game than these numbers. There were more people playing the Pirates of the Carribbean mobile game 5 years later.
You have to add all 3 games together to get to 2,000 players.
Sunderfolk, developed by Dreamhaven’s Secret Door studio, was critically well received but amassed a peak concurrent player count on Steam of just 890; Wildgate, released a couple months later, achieved a peak of 7,799 concurrent players, but that figure has since declined to just over 500 right now.
Dreamhaven also published Lynked: Banner of the Spark, developed externally by FuzzyBot, which currently has a 24-hour peak concurrent player count of just 11,
So I’m sitting there thinking about John Candy and how sad it is he died. Then the next day there was an article!
On March 4, 1994, he was cruelly struck down by a massive heart attack aged just 43, leaving behind a young family and a world in mourning.
His breakout role came when he played Tom Hanks‘s character’s womanizing brother in 1984’s Splash, which garnered universal acclaim.
I end a movie where the ending has John Malkovich killing a guy. Burn After Reading. I go ok let’s switch to a TV show: Six Feet Under. I scroll down, scroll through some TV shows. The TV show starts, and it’s the same guy who got murderd as the first actor. Richard Jenkins. How insane is that. haha. Then he dies in the first few moments. Died a 2nd time! I mean maybe Netflix is filtering it based on what I’ve watched and that’s the reason but he wasn’t even a main actor in either.
I keep running into Ed Begley Jr. too. My daughter was watching Arrested Development behind me and he’s there. He was on Portlandia. Then now he’s in Six Feet Under as well as Better Call Saul.
Sometimes there’s some crazy ass coincidences.
My other crazy story was I had an eye doctor for 20 years. I lost my insurance for that person. I go to a health care provider, try out their eye doctor and I get there and it’s the SAME GUY!!! He works both places. He has a personal business and he works for a health care company too haha.
Give it a try. Since the show, the place has turned into a total shithole so the premise of the show is long gone but it’s still entertaining.
You can totally do it.
We spent $23 on this steak and the aholes doused it with salt so bad, you could only taste salt. It was inedible. So what I did was grab a ziplock, put the meat in there. Froze it. Then returned it to the line. I did forget my receipt though but they found it.
Some say you don’t even have to bring the meat back to return it. But they didn’t say to do that when I went.
250 players. There’s more pageviews for the pages about the studio than actual players playing the game. haha.
This is another game by the original Blizzard people and their new studios. https://frostgiant.com/
