Taco Bell is like the album The Downward Spiral; I understand why I enjoyed it in my younger days, and hell, it's something that I can eat every now and then for old time's sake. But for the most part, those days are behind me.

Stuffed crust pizza, however, is still something I can very much get down on.

Pizza Hut.

I have a couple of GBA games I don't want anymore:

Super Ghouls N Ghosts

Wade Hixton's Counter Punch

20 for either, shipped. Or, I am looking for a copy of Pokemon Red or Yellow, would trade for either of those straight up.

Deep cuts, all bangers. I love it. Well done!

 

 

I mean, if it was the only car you had, you'd probably put the time into it rather than saying, "wow, I'm bad at this thing I've only just tried to do"

Sure. I'm just saying, the scenario of "this is the only car I have, I must learn this skill!" is becoming pretty rare. And that's fine.

 

My dad bought me a 5 speed truck when I was 17. So I had to learn how to drive a manual transmission if I wanted to drive at all. 
Also, Bikes are manual. 
My current daily driver is a manual transmission. I would not choose to have an automatic if I could avoid it.

 

Obviously I can see why you learned to drive a stick, but I can see no logical reason for you to try hard to avoid it at this point. Whatever shifts your gears, mate.

You know what's funny, though? I always choose "manual" in racing sims.

I guess for me, I spend so much time in traffic (2+ hours everyday) that driving is rarely a leisure activity, and I care not for authenticity of shifting in daily driving.

Well, the Classic Tetris World Championships (from Portland Retro Game Expo 2019) aired on EPSN2, so I guess Tetris is a legit e-sport now. I watched it start to finish. The whole thing was very well done, in terms of video production (capturing the players hands was a brilliant, if obvious, move), commentating, and competition. You should watch the whole thing if you can find it in it's entirety (or just piece it together on YouTube), but here are two great matches:

Yeah, this is real good, by the way.

 

What will we do now that The Shizz is a post-Within the Giant forum?

 

I believe norg still owes FoxxDragon the entire F-Zero soundtrack...

 

Check this man's veins.

Cold.

Fucking.

Blooded.

(laughed so hard at this)

You could learn if you had to

Thankfully nobody really has to. Even a lot of high end sports cars nowadays only have pseudo-manual shifting. Which probably disappoints the dick-wagging stick shift drivers, but computers can do most things better than we can.

(I have also tried and failed to learn how to drive a stick, but I also never really had to)

I wonder about the other songs on that list...

This short clip let me know that I am not missing anything by not watching AVGN, and it took less than a minute of my time. Thank you!

There are only 4 instruments, but norg had to do a separate track for every punch in.

S-Tier ball-busting. I approve!

If anyone can appreciate this it's you guys. Having to explain what this is, or what Metroid is, is already difficult in normal music circles. Mana and I are finally releasing this next Friday, and it's a very different take on a soundtrack we've all heard a LOT

YEAH I AM EXCITE!

So Zelda 2 Maker...?

 

Welp, might finally be getting Super Mario Maker 2!

Kind of tempted on that pelican mondo-selector, but I've got enough stuff to Frankenstein it all together. And there's an odd sort of satisfaction in doing that.

We just bought our own house, and I get part of the garage for my game room. Should have pics in couple months.
