It's kinda neat and kinda wierd how now people on my steam friends list can just kinda hop on and watch me play whatever I happen to be playing at the moment, straight through the steam client. Already had one guy watch me play Dead Island co-op with a RL friend of mine and kibitzed in steam chat.

I.. uh.. might have to go through and sanitize my skyrim plugins...

Me: "I think I'll play some Hunie Pop today."

We already know what you were doing with that MLP mod.

Yes. That is what I was talking about. That mod. That's the one. MLP. Yes. Definitely that one. And not some other mod or mods. This mod. Shame on me. Yes.

At least it wasn't Thomas the Tank Engine. That's just freaky.

Yes. Truly there is no skyrim mod creepier and more unsettling than Thomas the Tank Engine. Absolutely. Yes.

Spot the contradiction.

One of the millions of kids afflicted with Digi-Poke-Mon-itis.

For pennies a day, you can help these children get their shit slapped.

Won't you call today?

Yeah, you know what I'm going to say here.

You loved the pokemon series and own the entire run on dvd, after having watched them every week as they aired?

Yes, 100% exactly !that

I own most of Pokemon on DVD, but not the May seasons because they haven't been re-released. I also justified this by first getting my daughter obsessed with Pokemon.

Side-note to @AshburnerX : I stand corrected on Kirby and the Rainbow Curse; it's only $40 despite being a Wii U game. Looks like Mario Party 10 will be $50.

I often justify most of my "non-adult" purchases in this same way ("it's for Li'l Z!") and will continue to do so until I can't get away with it any longer.

I justify my girly purchases with "they're for my wife."

I justify my porn purchases with "It's for Lil' Poe!"

I'm just kidding, obviously. Who pays for porn?

Bubble181 · Mar 17, 2015

I don't justify my childish/silly/girly purchases Who are you to judge what I like to spend my money on, huh?

GasBandit · Mar 17, 2015

In my experience, if you go to the counter carrying tampons, snickers, and wine, you get no odd looks other than possibly sympathy or pity. No explanation is needed.

Yeah, but you go to the counter with cucumbers, condoms, lube, and dog biscuits, and all of a sudden you're a weirdo.

Mr. Z did something like that once. I sent him to the store to get some things and the cashier asks,"New baby at home?", so Mr. Z goes "Nah, I just like things kinky." The cashier's face was priceless.

I approve of this. Mischief that does no harm is a delight to sow.

My dad does this stuff. It was so embarrassing when I was a kid, but now it seems so awesome. Like asking the best way to cook parakeets at the pet store.

First, you put the oven on 200°C....no, wait.
First, you pull out the feathers, so...
No, wait. First, you twist the neck...
No, wait. First, you buy a parakeet instead of borrowing your neighbours'.

Because, unfortunately, a lot of shovelware went to the Wii.

Given that I'm a huge Gremlins fan, I'm honestly surprised I'm only hearing about it now.

Though I'm also simultaneously grateful I'm only finding out now.

I'm also surprised I never heard about that. I thought WB had abandoned the franchise entirely.

In Amiibo sorta-news: wave 4 is supposed to be releasing in April, and there's a possibility of Rosalina re-stock. I wonder if that one guy will try to buy them all again. I just want the Fire Emblem duo for Code Name Steam.
