Hbomb's a stand-up dude. Although, it's funny: even after seeing him hit high 6-figure view counts on his Youtube channel, routinely pull in thousands of retweets on Twitter, and then raise so much money for charity there's still some dusty corner way in the back of my stupid brain where he's still "the guy that did that fun but kinda crappy STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Let's Play on the Something Awful forums like 10 years ago."

BEST GODDAMN NES OST RIGHT HERE

And Gimmick's spiritual predecessor Trip World has probably the best Gameboy OST ever (which shouldn't be too surprising considering the composer did the soundtracks for Megaman 1, Megaman 10, and contributed to Shovel Knight's soundtrack):

@yummytreesap: Came here to ask this as well:

"So, you've made it this far. Not bad, girl. But I'm not letting anyone leave my town! Everyone's gonna die!"

The delivery on the last line really puts it over the top for me. It's one of my favorite quotes in anything, let alone games. The casual "calm down, chief" response adds a lot too.

Deus Ex Human Revolution. I've started over from the beginning 4 times and I don't think I've made it to the second boss fight more than once.

it's from neogaf iirc

A whole hell of a lot time messing around with mods. SGM, Misery, AO, OWR, you name it. Testing them, playing them, even dabbled in making them (though not seriously like some other mods that fuck with the actual engine itself like Gunslinger). I was really deep into all things STALKER for a while. It's still probably my favorite video game series of all time.

To be honest, I've probably spent twice as much time with Shadow of Chernobyl but Steam doesn't reflect that because most of it was spent on a disc copy. I didn't get it on Steam until my physical copy of it finally gave up the ghost and I had no choice but to buy it on Steam (which I actually regret since it pushed through a patch that forces v-sync when I used to play it at 100+FPS). I would bet I have somewhere near 1000 hours in SHoC, including stuff like 1935/old builds and Oblivion Lost Remake.

Well, speed problems continue to persist.

Again, no other sites are affected. Nothing has changed on my end. I've tried multiple browsers, flushed my DNS, multiple speed tests, contacted my ISP, the whole nine. Just like the last time this happened. Nothing has been fixed. The only conclusion I can make is that the problem is on GB's (or rather Amazon's) end. I still can't watch premium videos, something I'm paying actual money for, on this site because of constant stuttering and speed issues. It's been well over a week now. I would appreciate at least some kind of support or acknowledgement.

The site has been incredibly slow for me lately. It's made watching any premium videos basically impossible because the player has to buffer for 15 seconds for every 5 seconds of playback. I'm getting sub dial-up download speeds as well. My connection isn't the greatest - 4G - but there's no way it should be this bad because up until recently I could watch streaming videos on the site in HD without incident. GB is also the only site that's behaving like this.

I've had this problem once before in the past and it seemed to fix itself after a day or so, but this has been going on since last Thursday.
