Complain to the department head. Request to drop the course without penalty due to the circumstances (explain factual problems with his course material) and re enroll in a session taught by a different professor.

If the department head rebuffs you, go the next step up the bureaucratic ladder. You don't have to put up with this. Dogma has no place in a science course.

Sequence breaks (glitches) are a big part of speed running. If the sequence break makes such a huge difference to the game that using it makes it almost like playing a different game entirely, speed running community will split the runs into a couple categories. Lots of people run Ocarina of Time 100% because the any% is... well, you're not really playing Zelda, perse, when you go for the 20 minute any%. :D

Wind Waker any% has some glitches and sequence breaks but it's still a solid multi-hour run.

Yeah, just give it a once over with the paper towel and a mild cleaning product. That'll kill off anything that might be harmful to you.

Legend of Dragoon would be pretty awesome.

Yes.

And speaking of games with Dragoon in the title, I DEMAND a new Panzer Dragoon game. How come nobody makes rail shooters anymore? :(

Video games made me a better, and safer, driver. Not just the driving simulator ones either. Grand Theft Auto (and similar open world games) allowed me to practice driving in traffic. Taught me how to drive defensively and see possible collisions before they happen so that I can adjust accordingly.

Now, I know that may not seem like such a big deal for an ordinary person. But for me, it was huge. I am autistic, you see. I have great difficulty filtering out sensory inputs. This made learning to drive quite difficult for me. I had to learn how to filter out all of the things I would see on the road, and focus only on things that you must focus on in order to navigate traffic safely.

It is unlikely I would have been able to learn to drive without video games. :)

I did skip the first several years of PS2 gen. Not intentionally. Life was not pleasant for a while there.

You should put sriracha sauce on your burger. And your pizza. And your eggs. And in your sandwiches.

No.

Except for racing sims. I'm good at those. But even in racing games, my standard difficulty setting is sim physics/all assists off/manual shift and AI set to easy. I set the AI to easy so I can pass them all in the first lap and never have to deal with them again for the remainder of the race. I will take racing game AI seriously when somebody writes some halfway decent code for it. All racing game AI sucks.

I thought it was a not very funny joke and a lot of work put in for the not so funnies. Now I think it is a not very funny joke that has had plenty more work put in on it to where the resulting game looks like a lot of fun to play.

I have been wanting to see a 1-hit kill fighting game since Bushido Blade. I have always thought the move towards greater amount of character health/decreased damage per hit to extend the length of each round was kinda the wrong way to go, and made fighting games progressively less fun to play for me. Part of that I tried to make up for in character choice, moving to slower moving/big damage characters. But still I miss the days of SF2 Blanka. I throw you, you lose 40%. You do anything unsafe on the other side of the screen and I fly across it at speed of sound to hit you. I throw you again, you're dead. :)
