15-minute wait at my advanced polling station, and the line behind me almost tripled.
Every age demographic. Even a fellow Millennial poll worker on shift!
Remember middle-ageds and younger: if you don't show up to decide what sort of future you want for your society, then the olds will. #CanadaSky

Options. Ya know, things you don’t have to do.
That’s like being mad the grocery store sells food you don’t like.

Getting every gold gem in this was one of my two perfect games on the N64. (All 120 stars in SM64 was the other)
This is your reminder to stop whatever you're doing and go play Mischief Makers.
You're welcome.
SHAKE SHAKE!!

The Y-chromosome human wildlife at it again, huh?
I would wager that at least half of these tiny-dick syndromed bozos have some weird "sexy Angela" mod installed onto their PC copy of SH2R.
Heather Mason is one of the all-time greats among survival horror protagonists, bar none.

People getting mad at Silent Hill f for its themes are truly showing their true "biggest fan" colors so bad. Im not joking, these four PS2 classics with a girl protagonist share those (or similiar) same plot points described by F. Exploring the horrors of being a girl is not new.

Excellent question, #vanityplate.
For me, the best SLR is any body that has a swiveling live view screen. In my newspaper days, they helped me see what I was doing with my Hail Mary shots during press scrums.

I've always been intrigued by the concept of an organic Otherworld that's overgrown with vegetation.
Absolutely excited for Silent Hill f, been waiting patiently to hear anything new about it since it was announced. It looks amazing and like a visual feast of horror and beauty combined.

Recommendation from peeps over at Gamer Threads. No harm in having a plan B platform, especially considering I was suspended in error at that place last week. 🙄

Probably not, because algorithms suck at contextualizing when it comes to making moderation decisions.

Didn't look at it this way. I've always nicknamed this game "Pac-Man Of Suburbia," chronicling his slapstick-comedy adventures as an excuse to get out of the house whenever Ms. nags or screams at him.
No game captures the experience of living with untreated ADHD as well as Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures

Fabulous! Hope it plays great and sells well. Terminator game adaptations always made the most sense to me as arcade games, first and foremost. The early films' set pieces just plain work as blueprints.
Terminator 2's back as an arcade side-scroller, and it's coming later this year www.eurogamer.net/terminator-2...

Gauging to see if there's any interest in YT #shmup #gaming land in watching new player "progress" videos vs. the same-old of vets waiting till the oh-so-coveted 1CC. Still pretty new to @danboland.net's incredible title, Blue Revolver, and am having a blast!
