Luftwaffles

You have Liverpool FC polos in your wishlist. I don't know if I should make fun of your taste in soccer teams or fashion.

That was a hell of a game. I'm really disappointed I didn't choose to drive down for it.

SteamID: Luftwaffles USA USA USA! General Criteria: While I'm usually into flight sims/Arma when I have a desktop, right now I'm stuck on a Macbook Pro for gaming, so I'm down for pretty much whatever. Mac compatible is not mandated, though, I have a rather dusty dual boot going on that works alright. What are your favorite genres? Usually sims, RTS, and sports. I like indie games that aren't platformers usually. What are your favorite games? Arma, DCS World, whatever the newest FIFA is at the time, Red Dead Redemption, EVE Online, Starcraft II, Wargame: European Escalation, Rise of Nations, Fallout 3. Counter-Strike anything, Dirt 3, VVVVV. There's a lot more, that's kind of a hodge-podge list... What are your least favorite games? This isn't on the list, but I'm adding it anyway because it's usually pretty representative. Braid, Fez, Train Simulators, anything else made by Jonathan Blow or Phil Fish. Are you looking for any non-steam gifts? Sure, why not. PSN codes are good, but I only have a PS3. Will you take games not on your wishlist? Definitely. I keep meaning to update it, but I'm sure there's still things I've missed.

It'll be very interesting. It's got all the pieces to be a hell of a group. Portugal, who barely qualified, but always show up for tournaments, Germany who are solid, but have a super high expectations to meet and a somewhat questionable coach in Löw (who took over for the now-US coach Jurgen Klinsmann), and Ghana, who knocked the US out in 2010. It should be fun.

The 2014 World Cup groups are out.

I disagree, found this gif of you.

I'm not sure if I should laugh because I live in North Dakota, or be slightly ashamed because this is the most relevant ND will be for the next 5 years probably.

I'm not usually one for cover albums, but this is a good one.

$25 on Amazon last night.

I don't really buy that. My pair of Shure's are designed for studio work, and as a result designed to be worn for a while too, aren't they? In my albeit limited experience I see no real comfort benefit to gaming headsets vs. a nice pair of regular headphones. All of them might start to hurt your head after a bit, if anything the gaming headsets are worse because of the extra weight up there.

Rediscovering this after the recent re-release.

EVGA for Nvidia, XFX for AMD.

Pretty sure we're still playing A2 mostly. A3's netcode really doesn't lend itself well to anywhere near 40 players.

Man, I really want to do this, but I don't even own a PC anymore. Maybe I'll toss my hat into the ring just so I can gift to someone else; that's usually fun.

Just a tip, there's 3 speeds in cars. Q makes you inch along slowly, W is a bit faster, and E really make you haul ass. Not sure if you know that or not, but it's not very well explained and most people forget. Edit: If you ever want a group suggestion, I kind of run one with a group of guys. We don't get tons of players each weekend (25ish) and I'm sort of MIA right now without a computer, but they get my wholehearted recommendation.

Just ask yourself if you really care what 14 year olds think and you'll be fine.

1080p is so last-gen.

The main reason I drink my coffee black is the commuter cup I have is really hard to clean, and if I toss tons of cream and sugar in there it gets gross much quicker. Just kidding, I drink black coffee because I'm a real man.

It's a documentary about the US's occupation of Iraq, free on Netflix. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. Granted, it came out in 2007, and its subject content may have been slightly more fresh in everyone's mind then, but I caught myself throughout the entire film just going "yeah, alright, the Bush administration was incompetent, whatever". The interviews were good, and I'm not even going to pretend it didn't push a message; it just didn't feel quite as relevant now as it may have upon release. Or maybe I'm just overly apathetic. Also a personal pet peeve of mine that came up in this a few times: when the director/interviewer interrupts or argues with the person he/she is interviewing. Keep your trap shut and make your point when the interview is done.

Curse you Humble Bundle sales.

Divine Fits is the bomb diggity. Anything Britt Daniel turns to gold. In other news, Arcade Fire has a new album. I don't know how I feel about it. I was never a big Arcade Fire fan, but I can't help thinking the new album is a step forward in sound and a huge step backward in lyrics.

Knock knock. Who's there? To. To who? To whom.

I see Ethan went as a downvote arrow.
