Wow it's been 5 years, hasn't it. I still think of Ryan frequently, and thankfully, with Giant Bomb Infinite, he has become much more prevalent again on the site and now newer folks can be shown just how amazing he was.
The original Mafia on PC still does. I played it recently again and it's still really good!
I also played Medal of Honour: Allied Assault again a bit and it's totally good too. I'd say it feels like a Call of Duty game but I guess it's more Call of Duty feels like Allied Assault. Graphics are a bit rough though.
KOTOR is still great. I was playing it on iPad the other day a bit and I think I'm gonna play through it again.
Ok so it's not just me. That ghost mansion boss is abysmal. I spent over an hour trying to beat it and still haven't. It feels like for the second and third phases, where you aim is irrelevant. Sometimes it'll hit and sometimes it won't. And they don't give you enough time to recharge your meter before trying again so you can never do a rebound attempt if you fail to hit it (which I think is the implied thing they want you to do). Also, it's 5 minutes long and you can't restart if you screw up early.
I'm very close to just quitting the adventure part and only playing it online.
I tend to be apathetic to most marketing in general, but given that I find most games marketing stuff to be extra cringy, I do my best to ignore it all. I don't really watch trailers and don't tend to watch E3 stuff. But I've also never been the type to preorder games, get limited editions, or even buy most games on day one.
In elementary school I missed 3 weeks because of surgery. In high school I missed I think one day max at a time? I basically was never sick for some reason and I hated missing class.
University was a different story. Anytime I got the sense a prof was phoning it in on their lectures, I would inevitably start skipping and just using that time to read the textbook or work on homework. One prof I had for two classes, for the first class I attended the first two weeks and skipped the rest (he just read from a powerpoint that I could go through and read myself in about half the time). When I had him again for another class, I attended the first lecture, the lecture before the midterm, and the last lecture. I got the highest mark in that class of all my major courses. It also didn't help that my other classes were from 8:30am to 11:30am and this class started at 4:30pm.
Though in general it seemed like my university marks were inversely related to my attendance as I got into upper years. Classes I didn't attend I tended to work harder on readings and studying the material, and classes I did attend I often slacked off on readings for because I thought I knew the material. I always attended mandatory stuff though like labs.
Uncle Amiibo. I'm not sure what he would do for attacks or how it would work but it needs to happen. Maybe different Amiibos give him different move sets?
At the very least they could have went "YO TENNIS" and showed some of the new Mario Tennis, but they didn't even do that. What a bizarre thing they had.
That's excellent to hear! It's good that they found what's going on. Hopefully they can get him started on getting that fluid out of there and he'll be feeling better soon!
