I still have my original Nintendo 64 Gold edition that I purchased when I was 13 or so. I’ve recently got it hooked back up, and discovered that playing Mario Kart while on my recumbent stationary bicycle makes the time fly past. I speed up my pedaling cadence whenever I’m on straightaways, stop pedaling when I have to hard brake, makes for a more vibrant workout. In fact, it’s worked out so well it has me thinking about how well a gym/arcade hybrid business would do…

Also I finally figured out how to drift for a speed boost, so. come at me, bro

where do you buy your tickets?

When I first played Final Fantasy 7, it was a shining moment in my friend group. They had played the game years previous and had loved it, and they were introducing me to it. This was the first turn-based strategy game I had ever played, and I was legit into it. I’d be playing when they got home from work or classes, and they’d just chill on the couch watching me play.

This had been going on for like a week or so, and I was nearing this tumultuous. pivotal moment in the game. My friends, knowing this would soon happen, had been watching more intently, asking probing questions about who I liked more, Tifa or Arith, among other little jabs, hinting at their foreknowledge without spoiling it.

And that’s when it happened, a newer friend to the group walked in, shot a glance at the screen, looked at everyone and said “Oh, FF7. Arith died yet?”

The entire room went slackjawed, and I believe an assortment of random objects were thrown at him, but what was said had been heard, and when Arith died in-game just minutes later, I felt robbed.

Haven’t really cared about getting engrossed into a single-player game since.

Dude that Aladdin game sucked, I could never get past the flying carpet through the lava stage :(

is there a retailer I can buy gently used ones you know of?

Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”.

yes it is?

you’re thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.

Most people enjoy the social climate of an office? what??
