  1. nah grimes got him on that meth pipe and he hasn't looked back
  2. it's actually worse (better?) in the game. you spend the whole game wading through blood of hunters, zombies, etc to get her to that point. then they (make you?) really unleash joel. there are hints throughout the game of what joel is capable of doing. he has a whole sordid survival history we aren't fully privy to but we know he's done some bad shit. in fact, tess frames this as his redemption. which it might be but he does some bad shit to get there. the game really holds up a mirror though. you kill the entire game sometimes in really monstrous ways but only at the end with joel's rampage does it suddenly feel gross. no spoilers but as joel you kind of have to shoot the doctor but you don't have to shoot the nurses. i shot the nurses because i was in for a penny but yeah. and then joel lying about it. twice. and the okay at the end. so great. also thought the pacing was perfect. your last real boss in the game is that fucking psycho cannibal. everything after that is denouement even your rampage in the hospital and the giraffes and all that.
  3. think this dude might be on drugs
  4. nah, they got wetlands and national oversight and shit. florida people are trash, don't get me wrong, but they do seem to care about their wretched swamps.
  5. harry carey was my father's spirit animal. they were like best friends. they would get drunk together nearly every afternoon and watch the cubbies.
  6. ha was traveling last week in Barcelona in the Gothic quarter with a colleague. he's mostly strict halal, so we wander around and find a cool looking place. we go in and he looks at me says "sorry too many white people" and we ended up eating at a place with hookahs. goddamn that place was fucking great.
  7. he's all they got and we are all lucky to have him.
  8. i'm not even an employment lawyer, much less a lawyer of any kind, and i had a for real pavlovian response to the idea of suing elon based on this twitter exchange. hoisted by your own petard indeed.
  9. reading this thread has been interesting. i'm about as pinche gringo as one can get, but i've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world, and i tend to be drawn to sketchy ass areas in general because they are more interesting. i stay in whitechapel area in london. i don't think that's a big deal, but some people are shocked when they hear that. i like to think i know how to keep my head on a swivel, appear on guard enough to not be worth the trouble, etc. i'm a very experienced traveler. that said, i ain't traveling through mexico. in recent years, i've been to a 6 star resort there and felt safe enough walking through the local town, but i have no illusions as to why i felt safe. but yall gringoing your way across interior mexico these days are brave or comfortable or something else.
  10. the game was released in 2013. i only recently played it, because i have kids and am very picky with video game time, and it was a fucking masterpiece of storytelling plus gameplay. the only other game experience i've ever had that was so good was maybe mass effect 2. but then that went and ruined everything with the original end of mass effect 3. but honestly, the game is so good, because you can play it on a stupid impossible level and have zombies all up in your shit everywhere, but it's really the down time in the game that makes it. ellie reading the puns, or just asking about things we just think about as normal. it's also the space in between the words. the show captures it perfectly. it's hard to nail down, but they just got it perfectly. also, that fucking psycho chasing you around the restaurant took me fucking forever, especially once he started ducking. how she kills him in the show is pretty much how you feel as a gamer. but everything, the grooming, the hand touch, the "oh," god it's all so fucking creepy. i could barely watch it in the game, and it was even harder in the show. my wife couldn't even.
  11. yeah, deb got sideways with the owners - that happens, whatever. she's going to be hard to replace, but i'm sure you can give it a go. what i don't understand is this slavish need to do a music talk hybrid in the morning. if i want music, i can get music. if i want local content, i gotta wait through the fucking foo fighters my hero? get out of here. i'll listen to the podcast, thanks. i do not understand the business, as outlined earlier, but it's broken af. i wasn't a jason and deb guy, but they were local content which seems to be going away so we can hear some more pink fucking floyd.
  12. yeah, but this guy is the elite. i guess we have mattress mack. i stand down.
  13. this is my impression. he's not overly argumentative, but he does manage to fire back without sounding too petulant. i honestly thought he would've already broken by now. he's playing the part of "i'm a bad guy, i've done bad things, also addiction, but i didn't kill anyone" very well. i mean, as a neutral observer who hasn't followed this as closely as my wife, i think this guy is guilty af
  14. also, prosecutor richard dreyfuss from what about bob is coming across as richard dreyfuss from what about bob or maybe richard dreyfuss in let it ride either way, it's not a great look.
  15. alls i know is i've never once been to south carolina, but if this is how folks there are generally, i'm not interested. who has kennels? everyone has two names (as a guy with two names in my family, i sympathize), nicknames, spit cups, chickens to eat or some shit. what the hell is going on in this trial?
  16. so i was kind of watching this just now before they broke for lunch. i wasn't paying super close attention. what kind of shit are white people doing in south carolina? what grown ass man on the witness stand refers to another grown ass man as "t pop" or whatever the hell that was. anyways, he's shifty af. he killed them.
  17. as someone who was the last holdout on a guilty verdict iin a jury room, it takes more than an idiot to hang a jury. it takes a brave person. i only held out as long as i did because i just wanted to make sure that the prosecution covered all the bases. we ended up doing right in the end, but i'm not sending a guy away for life without asking a few questions.
  18. no worries! anyone on next door anywhere near ben white probably saw it
  19. yeah, that looks to be accurate. it's fucking bollix though. what sort of shit was happening on a saturday morning at 8 fucking 30 that they couldn't spare a unit to check out an actual crime? oh, right, when i left, a cop had someone pulled over at stassney. THAT must have been the emergency. not a stolen fucking car with a methed out lunatic at the wheel.
  20. god, it's been more than a week, and i'm still fucking irate. it's not about me, it's about my 70 year old mother in law. just send a goddamn uniform by to fucking pretend to give a shit and give her some level of comfort that the taxes she's spent to keep her safe give any kind of shit about her HOME. her house, where her grandkids come over to play. just pretend to give a shit. it wouldn't have mattered to me, it's become obvious that from city leadership onb down, policing in this community is a fucking joke. and apd treats it like a joke. apd is a joke. fuck austin police.
  21. https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2001-03-02/80723/ fucking chronicle whitewashing the riot that the fucking cops started. i was there for that one too. i still maintain that the city hated mardi gras and wanted it shut down and sent out its thugs to do just that. and they did. fuckers.
  22. holy shit, i didn't even see the reaction to the street racers over the weekend as a serious news story. some dudes doing donuts? my in laws got burgled, their shit stolen, their home invaded, their car stolen, their neighbor assaulted (with a deadly weapon, a car, also attempted murder probably), someone hit head on in a traffic accident and hurt. oh, and they have footage of the guys who did it. but some kids with fireworks and doing fucking donuts? better call the fucking lege and get a press conference going. fuck you, austin pd. fuck you forever.
  23. joe biden showing up to ukraine out of nowhere in his aviators and just being a badass is so refreshing. not bad for a doddering old coot, right republicans?
  24. yeah, i imagine it's all over next door. i edited your post, i dunno why, but i took out the make and model of the car. but yes.
