If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

And entirely off topic, an attempt to make Phil a little jealous:

About this Sealion business - There is some substance to the idea, in that over-politeness can indeed be used as a form of dramatic tactic. It's possible to adopt a reasonable tone simply to enrage an emotional adversary further, and to illustrate a contrast between them and yourself being the reas...

They should move along home.

Apropos of nothing; I've observed that there are 3 times per day wherein my cats are irresistibly drawn to me. One is of course feeding time, that's self explanatory. The other 2 are mysterious and cannot figure out what is the attraction. One is whenever I'm on the toilet. They come in and sit by ...

Have played about an hour and a half of Sunset Overdrive. Was not overly impressed for the first hour or so, but that final half hour I spent grinding and jumping about the city without any mission, and that was actually fun. I even somewhat got the hang of shooting things while moving, although I t...

So I've been watching some of Penn & Teller's show Bullshit and not impressed at all. I'm disappointed because I like Penn & Teller. There's a lot of appeals to authority, a lot of indiscriminate derision, and(I don't know the actual name of this fallacy if indeed it is a fallacy)dismissing whole c...

Okay, so I finally got around to play Murdered: Soul Suspect myself. Verdict? Not good. That's a shame. I've heard some good things about The Vanishing of Ethan Carter though. I hope that's good, because that's a damn good title. Have played most of the way through Ethan Carter but kind of lost int...

Also really enjoying Shadow of Mordor. I've become very attached to these orcs, some of them we're trying to keep alive because we love 'em. 19 hours in (with something like 52% completion) and still can't wait to play more. The mark of a good game in my book, because after twenty hours I'm usually...

Steers is also another Pitter who doesn't get jokes that easily (plus, he seems to have problems with some pop-culture references at times, though he's correcting it). He's doing great here, and is welcome more often than not. MKG (where the fuck are you, Michael?!?) is on the autism spectrum (and ...

I once ate the still-beating heart of my kill. But it was a very small heart (of a fish) Did you gain it's power, womanlet?

Thinking of expending some shekels on Alien: Isolation. From what I've read of it so far, looks like it could actually be the Alien game to finally dispel the arse-prolapsing disappointment of Aliens: Colonial Marines. The only substantial complaint I've heard about it is the save system. There are...

Some exercises might help. Try finding rhymes for common simple words like: Orange Please weigh in on a long-running argument that I'm having with my daughter.

RE: Tolkein's Orc problem. One of the things I'm enjoying about GOT is how morally ambiguous everything and everyone is.
