I worked directly outside of Brian Fargo's office for a couple years, and my social anxiety was so bad that I never even spoke to him more than the occasional greeting in passing. I'm such an idiot.

He's a really nice guy too.

Bill O'Reilly is consistent in his presentation ...

Star Citizen: From Pupil to Planet

Having worked with Chris Roberts in the past, I would take everything sold with a grain of salt until you actually see it in the final product. If you ever do.

He is a fantastic salesman though, I'll give him that. Nice guy too.

Ronald Jenkees - Try The Bass (Latest single)

yellowc says...

This is one artist I heavily recommend. I'm super pumped for this new album.

His already released albums are really quite great, my play count is probably in the thousands on some of the older tracks and I've never been tired of them.

Naturally I'm a bit of a bias fanboy but I dunno, his music just works for me. You can listen to all of it on Spotify but he's a small time artist, so if you can spare the bucks for a purchase I know he appreciates it because I've emailed him a decent amount and he's a genuinely nice guy, very humble.

My First Figure Drawing Class

robbersdog49 says...

Many many moons ago when I was seventeen we started doing life drawing at my school. there were a few models they used but the most common two were a lady about thirty, nice looking, slightly plump but attractive and Alan. Alan was a thirtyish year old gay guy who was just very average looking. Physique wise he was 5' 10" or so, maybe just under 200lbs, slightly balding, wore glasses. Nothing offensive but as a seventeen year old lad I obviously started off preferring drawing boobies to schlong.

Thing is, I always drew better when drawing Alan because I just wasn't as distracted I suppose. He was a really nice guy and we got to know him pretty well over the year or so we did the class. I'd grown up doing a lot of sailing at a club with communal showers for the men so naked guys were no mystery to me. I wasn't offended by him and he certainly never did any poses like the guy in this video.

Fast forward ten years and I'm at a friend's house party. I know about half the people there and there's a lot of people from her work that I don't know. She worked at a medieval castle as a wench for their banquets and a lot of her actor colleagues were there. I kept catching the eye of this guy, forty years or so old, 5' 10" and just over 200lbs, pretty bald. You know when you get that feeling that you know someone? The face is familiar but you can't for the life of you remember where you've seen him before. Worse was the feeling that it was someone I knew quite well, not just someone I'd bumped into in the supermarket or something like that.

He looked puzzled by me too and we eventually got talking in the kitchen about where we knew each other from. We went through everything, from what we did for a job, where we'd worked, where we lived and drew blanks every time.

We went further and further back in time until he stopped, grinned and said 'you didn't go to Woodland's school did you?'

In that instant I knew exactly who he was, laughed and completely without thinking blurted 'Alan! I didn't recognise you with your clothes on!'

Of course it went quiet and I had to explain to my wife why I didn't recognise the gay guy with his clothes on (not helped by the fact that it was an all boys school). I still have paintings and drawings of him in my attic somewhere, which my wife was 'thrilled' to be shown!

Life drawing is great, and you don't need a 'fit' or attractive model. Anyone will do, in fact the more normal the better I think. It helps you look at what's there rather than any sort of ideal you might have in your head.

Cop Caught on Camera: "Call The Cops. They Can't Unrape You"

speechless says...

It's pretty obvious dude. The Koch bros are just nice guys trying to help protect the average shmo from corrupt cops. And he's right. Sometimes I get upset thinking to myself god damn there is so much corruption and manipulation but then I console myself knowing that the Koch bros are out there having my back. Thanks Koch bros!

Hating on Phil Fish, the polarizing FEZ developer

sixshot says...

I really wanted to watch the video... but... I just can't. I love the game FEZ for how well designed it was. And I thought I could care less who it was designed by or who thought of the concept.

The biggest problem with Phil Fish is the fact that he shows little restraint or has very poor choice of words when speaking his mind. I am all for being outspoken as long as you do it w/o pissing your playerbase off.

When FEZ was being promoted in various big name conventions (I forgot which), I posted a comment that perhaps it's better to try to finish up the game rather than promoting it and showing it off. Usually when it comes to games and unknown ones, it only takes some good word of mouth to help promote it. People will find out, one way or another. What I get is a rude reply from him.

It's unknown to me as to whether or not Phil is a nice guy or genuinely an asshole all around. But given his response to that one comment I made, I think it's the latter. I don't need the internet news media to promote the notion that Phil Fish is an asshole. All you have to do to know if he's an asshole is to disagree with him on something, no matter how small or how trivial it is.

Heya Dag

Hope you don't mind a banned user infiltrating your sift-up. I'm a nice guy, and would be fun to have a beer with you (and whoever the secret person is flying in...Lucky?)

If you think it's inappropriate, I'm fine with that.
