There is a pretty huge difference between quirky pixie girls and crazy/bipolar ones in movies and IRL. the quirky pixie will take you to see their stand up routine at an open mic (or in a movie their ukelele band). The crazy one will make out with her friend (boy/girl) then yell at you then make up with you later in sexy ways (in a move this would be possibly doing it on the street on the way home or more likely in a car).

Ive dated 2 of each, long term, and i'm still with the last quirky one, we have been together for a really long time now.

The crazy ones are way more work you and they seem to gain all their necessary sustenance from attention, but and its a really big but, for like a significant period of time, its never boring, ever, there is no down time.. If shes moody then there's drama and if shes up its 24/7 fun.

Quirky pixie on the other hand is way more even keeled they are just generally normal girls with non-traditional hobbies and a bit more uniqueness in comparison to "regular girls". You still get regular girl problems but they most assuredly aren't crazy girl problems.

I only have one guess why the trope of crazy girl is loved by the academy, thats because acting as an actual crazy person is probably kinda hard. and most movie roles people are playing likeable characters or 1 note characters, they might feel like they need to reward actors who bring to life more nuanced characters.

From around 1998 to 2003.

its when I first really got into PC's, I was playing alot of FPS and WRPG's and MMO's but I was still playing huge amounts of ps1 JRPGS (silver star story, suikoden) and 2d fighters (alpha series)...oh and the Dreamcast (soul cal and skies of arcadia, Jet set) slotted in nice, right in the middle.

Either that or the commodore 64 period in the mid to late 80s....but those games dont hold up nearly as well apart from the music.

Hmm if the aways online thing is true I guess im out, I have bandwidth caps and short but frequent drops in service.

Im gonna miss those xbox controllers, cant stand the dual shock.

Possibly PC will be the way to go.

In regard to PC I haven't had a decent one in years but if this happens i might build one, and alot of people are pointing to PC as a viable alternative in this scenario but I thought PC's were worse for this kinda crap, it was one of the reasons consoles were "better" back in the day, and I thought Steam, which everyone always gushes over had always online DRM?

@mariachimacabre: The new Dredd isn't good despite its source material its good because of its source material.

Nope, there were a few issues for me where I kept trying to use iron sights with the left trigger, but that's on me, not the game.

The game is solid, not the best game ever, but i enjoyed it from beginning to end, its been a real long time since i finished a significantly long single player game in one sitting but, i did it with this game yesterday.

The story isn't as amazing as id have liked but it is still better than 99.9% of game stories.

And Elizabeth is way better than Alyx btw.

I levelled to 50 recently but nothing seems to be dropping at my level, everything is L44 or below in TVHM.

Because my damage output is low i'm having trouble with 48+ level quests and enemies..I'm dying alot. Apart from the golden chest is there anyway I can fix this..or is anyone else having this problem....

In comparison to last year or 2010, this year wasn't mediocre, it straight up stank.

Jeff mentioned he was after great Amiga games to play I had one as well as a SNES back when I was a tween/teen and there are only two Amiga games that I look back with fondness on, and only one that I think should be considered a historical milestone.

One is Hunter, its a 3rd person open world game in which you steal a variety of vehicles, boats, tanks, jeeps helicopters...and it came out a good decade before GTA 3, sure it ran slow and looked worse than minecraft but it was revolutionary, well ahead of its time and worthy of respect from anyone who considers themselves a gamer.

Second is moonstone, a hack and slash multiplayer game, I spent many hours playing that game with friends and i fired it up about 6 months ago and it holds up pretty good.

Anyone else got any Amiga games to add.

Listening to last year was a great time, while personally I thought SR3 should have taken home the 1 spot, especially at Giantbomb, which is why I was a little bumbed by Ryan's reasons for voting against it. ( I S ranked both Skyrim and SR3 just so you know im not some biased asshole ) both games were totally deserving.

This year will be interesting for me as I feel like I wont have any skin in the game,I know the game i really enjoyed, Sleepy Dogs, wont even place. There were alot of good games this year, but if I was in the room I don't know if I could go into bat for anything other than Sleepy Dogs...and even then I don't think its GOTY material.

Make it feel like NV. Fallout Hawaii.... Beach blanket bingo, with muties and a swinging 60s vibe
