    Unless you don't like Bullet Hell, that is.

    I don't perticularly like bullet hell, yet I still loved Undertale. The main point of the game is, well, the point it makes about games. And it does so in the most clever way imaginable.

    Really hard to talk about it without spoiling anything. It's the sort of game that you need to go into blind.

    Speaking of which, what is the deal with those two ladies? It looks like they change shirt between panel 1 and 2, and Goat Mom? What?

    Both shirts are Undertale references. The joke is that they think Grace is going to talk about Undertale, and she says Deus Ex instead.

    And since you didn't get the reference, that must mean you've not played Undertale. Go do so. Now.

    Edit: And it's currently on sale on Steam: until July 4th http://store.steampowered.com/app/391540/

    While this idea sounds playable and entertaining, it is based on a faulty premise.

    If the pizza is delivered within a specified and relatively large window of time, then the specific time of delivery has almost no bearing on the amount the customer will tip.  Most customers decide what they will tip when they are told the total.

    Crazy Taxi had customers tip you based on how many idiotic life threatening stunts you could pull off on the way to their destination. Video game logic is in no way based upon the real world.

    "Holy carp! You just jumped off the roof of a car park, flew 50 yards through the air, and landed on top of another building! It's a miracle you didn't get us both killed! Here's an extra $50, my good man!"

    ...I've also read The Cleric Quintet by R. A. Salvatore. I won that book as a prize in high school and thought it would be rude to ignore it, but I kinda wish I had.

    I've found R.A. Salvatore to be very hit and miss.

    Harry Potter, one of those series where it is assumed everyone has read.

    And that assumption would be wrong. I've never read any of the Harry Potter books, nor do I intend to.

    One series I'd recommend is the Honor Harrington series, by David Weber. It's really good sci fi on the harder side of the spectrum.

    And for the record, I HAVE read the Hobbit, and tried to read Lord of The Rings. I found myself too bored to get through the latter, which I find a shame, because I'd like to be able to say I've read it.

    Apart from the Tom Bombadil chapter, which is totally out of place, I don't find The Lord of the Rings boring in the slightest. However, The Silmarillion was a different story. That book is a snoozefest and a half.

    Given that Some Guy won the tournament, I'm betting he's a pretty good strategist and knows the importance of balance in a team.

    I donno. Sligh is a pretty good example of a Magic deck where every card basically does the same thing. It's a mono red deck where every card is either a cheap 1-2 mana creature, or a cheap 1-2 mana burn spell.

    It either kills you in 3 or 4 turns, or else you weather the initial onslaught, stabilize the game, and then dismantle it.

    ... apparently, the point of the game is to always feel like you should be trying some other character than the one you are just playing.

    That's actually not far off. From what I understand, the characters were designed to all have strengths and weaknesses such that your team should switch to characters that counter the team you're playing against, which in turn will cause them to change up their characters, which means that your team now needs a new set, ad nauseum.

    It's intended to make sure that everyone's constantly rotating characters, so the game doesn't get stale.

    Is there a problem with penguin?  And who is Ford?

     

    It's a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was a response to the previous post where you said you were pushing the limits of probability.

    Drop everything right now, head to your local library, and read that book, and you'll get the joke. As well as having read a really good book.

    Valve's been very catty and dropping vague hints about the possibility. On the other hand, it's impossible to tell if Valve's hints are just appeasing the fan theory, or if the theory was because of Valve's hinting.

    In June 2008, Valve hinted that The Pyro may be in fact a female, or may not be human. On the TF2 Official Blog, Jakob Jungles posted an image that referred to the Pyro as "he" in the description. Although clearly referred to as a male, the card ends with the phrase 'if he is even a man at all.' This most likely suggests that the Pyro might not be human at all, but is also likely to keep players guessing at his gender. Also, the recent spy update the sentence "When Pyro hears about this she'll be inconsolable." Was posted on the TF2 Blog. Which was changed a few hours later to "Pyro's going to be inconsolable now." In the "meet the pyro" video, a mini female gender sign is put in the sky of "pyroland", which is the land pyro thinks he/she is in.
