They must learn where Buu eats breakfast, lunch, and din din.

The early Tony Hawk games got me into ska. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

I'm indifferent, though I will admit the Funko Dead Yamcha one I saw was pretty good.

Ben_H posted a message in the forum topic How often do you drink enough alcohol to consider yourself drunk?. on the Off-Topic board Jul 4, 3:05pm

Never should be an option. Drinking is an issue with my dad's side of the family so I stay as far away from alcohol as possible.

Ben_H posted a message in the forum topic Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013. on the Ryan Davis board Jul 3, 9:40am

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 ...

Ben_H posted a message in the forum topic What are some older games that you think still hold up gameplay wise?. on the General Discussion board Jun 24, 5:02pm

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 ...

Ben_H posted a message in the forum topic Im hating this game right now lol!!. on the Mario Tennis Aces board Jun 24, 3:02pm

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. Someti...

Ben_H posted a message in the forum topic Does Game Marketing Work on You?. on the General Discussion board Jun 24, 2:57pm

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 t...

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!

Hoping for the best for him!

180 degree screen rotation was always a good one. We did that a few times.

I saw this on Twitter. I'm so sad to hear this. TB was a massively important figure in the StarCraft 2 community and kept supporting it well past when others did. He was also an innovator on Youtube....
