I took it less as "hiding" what I play and more about what I don't advertise playing.

They're both $10

Viva Pinata and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. I'm hesitant to admit to them because at first glance they look like shitty little kid games, but among people who've actually played them they're pretty well regarded games. Also The Sims series, like Johnny said.

lol, use currency symbols, you got me excited there for a second.

Mass Effect. Again. I'm working on getting all my characters through and ready for ME3. I've decided for the last three though I'm just going to do the main stuff and ignore the sidequests (I've already got 3 characters that I've done absolutely everything with in both games). Trying to get this done before the Arrival DLC comes out on the 29th.

"Passengers in some stations are being asked to take the stairs instead of the escalator." Can't you just turn off the escalator, thus turning it in to stairs?

Oooh, Darksiders is a good one.

That's why I put wrong in quotes. It was wrong at first, but then it became commonly understood and accepted and so was no longer wrong.

That's a question you'll never get an answer to. On the old forum we had like a 40-page thread that was largely just arguing over what over-/underrated meant. *Edit* - I'm gonna go with Halo 3: ODST, although really that's more polarizing than actually "underrated".

I thought "lore" was just British for "law"?

Man, I am so out of touch with the Batman lore...

That would be my point. You can only argue against something being God's will if you already don't believe it was God's will. If you do believe it was God's will then no matter what happens you can just say it was because it was God's will. It reminds me of a time when there was a bad avalanche across I-70 in Colorado, but luckily earlier in the day a tractor-trailer had jack-knifed across the highway, blocking traffic so no cars were in the part that had the avalanche, when ordinarily there would have been dozens of cars there. My mom said it must have been God's will. When I asked what about all the other avalanches that aren't fortuitously saved by a jack-knifed semi she said that the lord works in mysterious ways.

Nuclear reactors in quake zones should be built on giant shock absorbers like the command center at NORAD is.

I'll stick to my ball-point pens, tyvm.

I'm going to preface this by informing you that I'm an atheist. But for the sake of argument, how can you be sure that it wasn't God's will that allowed the Jews to bring this plan to fruition? Just because it was directly accomplished by the hand of man does not mean it was not God's will that made it so.

Yeah, I mean obviously if the word can change meaning one way there's nothing stopping it from changing back, it just takes enough people switching to the other meaning.

From what I hear, arbitarty, the consensus is "wait for a price drop." What's there is pretty good, but there's not enough there to justify a full-price game. That's just what I've heard though, I haven't played it myself.

I began to seriously question it at "whimsy films mark and scribblers", became more sure with "cold on a cob", and then knew something was definitely up with "rooty-tooty point and shooty".

Gordon Freeman is a non-character...

So, I have a question about No Man's Land (just read the plot summary on Wikipedia): Why does an earthquake make the government decide to quarantine Gotham? That part isn't made very clear. It just says Seems like there's a gap in the reasoning there.

Ah yeah, I've heard California has bad roads.

Could you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I understand.

Fireworks go off here too.

From the BAFTA thread: An American would say "going on" there.
