On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.

The original PS1 game had both main character options, if that makes you feel better about it.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Guild Wars 2's World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you're at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it's a grindfest now.

Crusade. The story was just starting to get interesting but JMS had used all of his pull just getting the fifth season of B5 on the air. I'm cautiously optimistic about the animated series that was hinted at by The Road Home but I'm also not holding my breath.

Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It's not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.

It's not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can't design hardware for shit.

It's facepaint, and it comes off with soap and water.

Absolutely, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be the fossil holding up the entire self-checkout lane because the retinal scan can't see past my cataracts, and not one of these kids can stop me!

I'm more than a little sad to see it happen but it was only a matter of time. At least we can still download past purchases and play multiplayer.

This was track #1 on my work from home playlist back in 2020. Such a weird time.
