Hah! Fuuuuck that. I only went to community college, and now I'm $5,000 in-debt. In New York I had to pay hundreds of dollars for classes each semester in addition to books/required materials. Of course, then I moved to California and added another $1,000 to my debt, though I payed that off. Keep in mind you'll be paying out-of-state tuition, which can cost you like 900% as much, no exaggeration.

I think you should say "On a typical Friday night I am... drinking with the buds." Then, five dates in when she realizes you're actually basking in the cold neon-glow of your monitor by yourself, drinking bourbon and laughing out loud with people who've never met you, it can all culminate into an appropriate level of depressing. It'll nip the relationship in the bud, for sure, but when you look at her bug-eyed face turning white, and can almost *see* her stomach wrenching in disgust... it'll all be worth it.

Ian should host

Has anyone suggested seeing a doctor? Because that's what you should do. Don't let them just push you onto some drug, though, 'cause that's not a long-term solution, and you obviously are just temporarily depressed and not congenitally bi-polar or something.

Maybe they're threatening to steal Sessler's legs. You can't do much without legs.

@abendlaender: You seem to have encapsulated everything I remember hearing about the game during its initial release. I never played it, but I watched the ending on Youtube after the GB staff talked about it. And... dude... I really wonder who the fuck thinks these things are good ideas. Like, take Outlast. It's a great game, but the last half-hour just fucking obliterates any possible merit gained from the story up to that point. How does that stuff happen? Did they honestly never read about Deus Ex Machinas during school, or do they think they're the special exception to the terribleness that they pose? It baffles me.

@epicsteve at 35:30 in that Tim Schafer talk. Good talk, too. Tim has a unique kind of endearing nervousness.

Well, since they're rescheduling North and South America, maybe the next beta can be some time other than the middle of the night.

Dark Souls II. Did you know they added torches?

The Ouya 2 is cancelled.

I'm here if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on.
