I don’t think it was this game, maybe the first Ghost Recon but as a kid it was frustrating to play. I couldn’t get past the realism of the gunshots. I thought typically video game logic would be applied, letting me get shot many times before dying.

There were a lot of upset investors who bought Nintendo stock when Pokémon Go launched, to learn The Pokémon Company was not public, or the same entity.


I once contacted EA support over a used copy of the Mass Effect trilogy (the trifold case that held each game). I thought my game had a glitch, which turned out to be a common Xbox One backwards compatibility issue. I kept getting an error telling me I needed the DLC installed for ME1 to play the base game. All I had to do was reinstall the game.
EA Support just said go buy a new copy. I don’t think I could even find it. I didn’t even have the complete packing. They straight up didn’t want to help me.


This reminds me more of the movie Vantage Point.


It’s already fucked up that he legally gets to call himself a co-founder for simply being on the board.


I saw it at a Scottish Games.


I don’t know. Have you ever watched competitive sheep herding? I wouldn’t want to step in between that dog.
I was expecting a murder.
EDIT: I realized I was thinking of Benoit Blanc.


There is a whole fictional language in the game.


I’ve lived my entire life reading about this in Masters of Doom but never seeming a single screenshot.


Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.


They honestly lost me with the fitness platform they were developing with the hardware they tried launching before they got bought by Fitbit.
I’m too baked into my Apple Watch to use a Pebble today. I don’t have any of my old watches. I would not mind a circular Apple Watch. I loved the Pebble Round.
I’m not defending either organization. Just clarifying that the roles they have are different.
Yes, it is an excellent movie. My favorite of all the Hanks movie I have seen.
Unless you are actively traveling from outside the country, you won’t ever be encountering CBP.
This is not ICE. CBP is Customs and Border Protection. They deal directly with the border and other entry points like airports, border crossing and ports. The easiest example of what they do is to point you towards the movie The Terminal. In that movie, Tom Hanks plays an Eastern European, Viktor Navorski (fictional country) who gets denied entry to the U.S. upon arrival when a government coup sees his visa invalidated mid flight. The film depicts head of CBP at JFK airport in New York, in a struggling battle to keep Hank’s character in the international terminal, the only legal area he can occupy after determining that they can’t send him back amid a civil war which the U.S. has yet to recognize a formal government. The conflict directly centered around the recognition of his country’s government. While in mid flight to the U.S. the civil war began and the government was dissolved. Upon landing at JFK, he no longer had valid paperwork to enter the U.S. After determining he could not enter the country legally, it is made frighteningly clear that without a government that the U.S. recognizes, he could not legally be returned home either. The movie depicts Viktor’s struggle to continue his life inside the international thermal of JFK, awaiting the day he can finally leave.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deal with immigration and customs enforcement. So this organization works inside the borders of the country. They deal with immigration and customs violations, and trafficking and cross-border crimes.
These are not the same organizations and they serve different purposes. Both fall under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. People are conflating the two organizations since they deal with the legality of being in the United States but they have different methods of operation.
EDIT: CBP try to stop you from entering the country. ICE try to eject you once you have gotten inside.


Well they have to be convicted first.


There is a secret level in Doom II described in the biography Masters of Doom by David Kushner. It was made as a prank, where the boss had the face of one of the Johns and moved at 200% faster speed than the player. I’m not sure if this made it into the retail or shareware versions they shipped.


Okay, but how far back does this go? It can’t really be that all games in existence that ran on Windows is being counted. Is it?
There is a new (not certain) platform called UpScrolled that people are moving to.
