Lawnmower Racing Mania and now Patrick has a raw tomato.

I don't want to know, but I also really want to know.

I already saw Jurrasic Park in theaters like 20 years ago. Poor goat...

Edit: They are going to do a RE6 PC quick look when they didn't do a Persona 4 Golden quick look. That's Bullshit! I want to hear what Jeff and Vinny think about the changes made in P4.

Patrick should watch Westworld if he likes Jurassic Park so much, since it's basically the same movie except with robot cowboys, romans , and medieval people instead of dinosaurs. It's even written and directed by Michael Crichton, and came out in the 70s.

I'd like to see some RE6 PC stuff. I got it recently and actually enjoyed it. I'm ready to be infuriated by your reasonable criticisms.

@branthog: Had to be playing on the jukebox!

Wait, are people here really not familiar with the poem "John Romero's Wives" from Cara Ellison over at RPS that was fire-and-brimstoned by Anna Anthropy to a cheering audience at GDC? I figured the event and the poem - yes, indeed riffed on Hadda Be) was common gamer knowledge/currency, now.

I would link the poem or the article about writing the poem or the youtube video itself, but . . . I don't want to set off one oft hose epic GiantBomb threads full of hot heads all around.

Can you please link? I looked and can't find anything. I'm just curious I'm not gonna make a rant thread I promise.

Why does Patrick bring up drinking so much for no reason? I hate it when people do that. You drink beers frequently. I get it.

Yeah, before he came along the site was real clean and sober living.

That's my point. Everyone on the site have been and are drinkers, but no one except Patrick feels compelled to bring it into conversation. It's like if you lived in a college house with roommates and everyone smoked and drinked, but one roommate in particular had a need to talk about how much pot he smoked or how much he drank into half of his conversations. That guy would bug you (or at least, he would bug me). It's clearly not that big a deal I know, it's just a personal pet peeve.

Are...are you SERIOUS??? Jeff talks about his drinking activities bi-weekly at LEAST, Ryan talks about them...ABOUT as often, Brad has talked specifically about "getting a slug of whiskey for courage" before panels and made multiple references to games that are better or worse with alcohol, the only one who DOESN'T at this point is Vinny, and that probably has something to do with the new baby.

@brighty Meh, guess that's a person-to-person peeve.

Can't wait for the spoiler cast.

Played through Bioshock Infinite between this video going up and now as I didn't want to wait to listen to it.

It was just something I was taught when I was brought up. Sort of like holding the fork with your left and knife with your right etc. I am right handed though so quite possible my parents were secretly left-hand oppressors and were instilling evil values in me. Or maybe they just didn't know.. either way if Patrick is left handed then that explains everything I suppose!

I'm right handed yet i hold a fork with my right hand and wear my watch on the right arm, even tho sometimes that's not that practical. I don't know what the current research on this subject is, but a couple of years back there had been some research implying that the development of a young brain gets hampered if parents try to enforce a specific use of hands on their children by force, after the child already learned to use it's hands in a certain way.

I guess in the end everybody should probably just use whatever hand for whatever it feels more natural. After all it's your brain that's coordinating your body, not social etiquette ;)

Unless I'm reading this wrong, I believe you are thinking about, "cross-dominance". I'm left handed in every single two handed activity, but right handed in most single handed activities, except for some reason with scissors and vegetable peelers. For example, batting in baseball I go left, but I throw with my right. And I'm only ambidextrous when using a mouse.
