Yeah, that too.

I think the key to a good 3D Sonic game might be a slo-mo button...

I think the key to a good 3D Sonic game might be a slo-mo button...

Or a mini game that lets you play the original three games. Egg man, what a crock of shit. I'm nostalgic for the original Sonic games but I don't think they stand the test of time at all. The core mechanic of speed platforming seems like a doomed concept from the outset.

Back in high school, I had a bit of a crush on a girl. Her name was Tammy. Asked her to the prom but she declined hoping another friend would ask her instead.. He never did so she went alone..
Later after graduation she got married to some redneck with the last name of Elmore. She got a job at a local credit union where a few years later she was caught embezzling some $24000 dollars. Fast forward to this years prom season and her son was just arrested for a string of break-ins:

The next generation hasn't learned that crime doesn't pay apparently

All of this could have been avoided with one time travel trip to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.

I lived decades in Ohio, with very regular rainfall. Today in Texas was the first time I ever had to call off work due to rain. Never even got to check the roads because I wasn't willing to wade out to my car.

So....my boyfriend caught me telling a completely useless lie, and now he is worried  because he "doesn't know what else I might lie about." So, in my dealings with him, I know he wants me to do something to help him feel better about me. I have no idea what he wants. I explained to him that I have a fear of intimacy and I lie because I have been trained to do it since birth (I had a very dysfunctional family). Neither of these things mattered. So.....yea....advice?

I feel like only he can tell you what is going to make him feel better. Was there a reason for the specific lie? Are you able to explain that to him?

Honestly, lying is such a habit with me. I spent my entire life needing to lie to my father or other family members to protect myself from emotional abuse. Being transparent 100% of the time is a VERY hard concept for me.

We finished our talk. It's better it happened in such a small way, so I can learn how much a deal breaker it is.

Second round of dying

You scared me for a bit.  I misunderstood what you meant by dying.  Looks great, by the way.

Recently I started playing Batman: Arkham Knight again, and my wife walked in and recognized a voice. Something I hadn't noticed is that Commissioner Gordon is played by Jonathan Banks in that game. If you don't know his name, he's the actor who plays Mike in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I laughed and mentioned that makes him the second Breaking Bad actor to play the part, since the animated Batman: Year One movie had Bryan Cranston as Gordon.

Coindidently, that weekend we noticed that Batman: Year One is playing on HBO this month, so we recorded it and I watched the other day. Then I noticed something else odd, recognizing the voice of Batman in that movie is Ben McKenzie, a.k.a. Jim Gordon from the show Gotham.

Not sure what the next link in this odd chain is going to be.
