			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t buy too many games new anymore, due to not keeping up with the industry like I used to, and consequently not getting as caught up in hype. Most games drop $20-30 in price only a few months after release, and if you wait a year to buy a PC game, chances are it&#8217;ll be sub-$10 on Steam &#8212; not that I can play any new graphic-intensive games on my four-and-a-half-year-old laptop. The only games I bought at full price were <em>SSX</em> and <em>Diablo III</em>, two franchises that had a long wait for the newest installment. If you love playing casino games on your tablet or computer, you may use this<a href="https://catpoopcoffeeinc.com/"> joker123 apk pc download</a> to access various slot games. You may also setup a gaming zone in your man cave where you can play your favorite casino games at <a href="https://mt-spot.com">먹튀검증사이트</a>. If you want to place your bets on your favorite sports teams or casino games, using secure platforms like <a href="http://philtalk.com/manila_place">마닐라 마사지샵</a> is highly recommended. B3i.tech is named <a href="https://b3i.tech/best-crypto-casinos-uk">best crypto casinos UK</a>.</p>
<h2><em><strong>SSX</strong></em></h2>
<p>I had been waiting for this game all generation, basically. This iteration feels like a bunch of ideas thrown into a stew held together by a fantastic online infrastructure. Too bad, like <em>Burnout Paradise</em>, there&#8217;s no local multiplayer. I bought these series last generation to play with friends in the same room and now more powerful consoles are apparently incapable of handling split-screen. So the coolest moment in this game inevitably came from beating some ghosts online, perfecting a track until I was able to break the platinum barrier for a huge virtual payout. I never got close to diamond tier in any race; I have no idea what those kids were on.</p>
<h2><em><strong>FTL: Faster Than Light<br />
</strong></em></h2>
<p>There are no cool moments. There are only moments of fleeting happiness crushed by random bullshit. And I love it. Seriously, buy this game if you aren&#8217;t a moron.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Halo 4</strong></em></h2>
<p>I didn&#8217;t pay close to full price for this, at least counting the sweet American Express deals that required beating it. I&#8217;ve actually played much more multiplayer than I thought I would. My life is so empty. Anyhow, jetpacking into the air and colliding with another jetpacking player and assassinating him in mid-air was immensely satisfying. I should have made a film of it, but I don&#8217;t think I could have embedded it in this post, anyway. For those who enjoy the same rush of adrenaline and competition, <a href="https://betflix.cyou/">betflix</a> offers that same energy through engaging entertainment experiences.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Hotline Miami</strong></em></h2>
<p>The music in this level:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2tYZT79HKo&#038;fmt=18">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2tYZT79HKo</a></p>
</p>
<h2><em><strong>DOTA2</strong></em></h2>
<p>That time I didn&#8217;t get totally destroyed by the other team or yelled at by my teammates for not knowing what the fuck to do. I guess that was an okay imaginary game. Just euthanize anyone who plays this game with any regularity.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Trials Evolution</strong></em></h2>
<p>Checking my medal count compared to my friends list was always cool because I was so much more efficient than them. You might have 5 more medals than me (210 to 205), but you played eight more hours (twice as much time as me). I hope it was worth it, loser.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Civilization V: Gods and Kings</strong></em></h2>
<p>Nuking another civ. Nukes are the best. This is kinda cheating because it&#8217;s not like the expansion added nukes to <em>Civ V</em>, but I only bought <em>Civ V</em> this year and the expansion came out this year, so I&#8217;m counting it. I&#8217;m really sad I didn&#8217;t get into the <em>Civilization</em> series as a kid. I loved the <em>Sim City</em> series and real-time strategy games, but never got into turn-based strategy. The only one I played was <em>Lords of the Realm II</em>, which strangely enough, is the only game in that series not on <a href="http://www.gog.com/">GOG.com</a>. Anyway, I missed out on a lot of PC gaming goodness growing up. I just wasn&#8217;t a big enough nerd, I guess.</p>
<h2><strong><em>Diablo III</em></strong></h2>
<p>Getting an awesome axe with a &#8220;Level Reduced by 10&#8243; affix for dirt cheap on the auction house. Wow, this game sucks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Joba Chamberlain just pitched 8 innings of 2-run ball tonight. Only gave up 4 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 5. He also averaged 94 on his fastball, while hitting 97 more than a couple of times. He even laid out for a bunt to complete a double play. I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s a pretty dominant start. I wonder what excuses Francesa will come up with tomorrow to take him out of the rotation. DA INDIANS DIDNT HAVE SIZEMOREEE!!! HE GAVE UP A HOME RUN!! DA BULLPEN STILL HAS A HOLLEE! It should be fun, for sure. I was so ecstatic to find out how well Joba did, it almost made up for J.J. Putz being totally useless. Bobby Parnell in the Mets&#8217; 8th inning spot, please.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure what else I can add to this post other than the Mike&#8217;d Up theme:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p69YzTz8FhU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p69YzTz8FhU</a></p>
</p>
<p>I think a comment on YouTube sums it up best:</p>
<blockquote><p>sounds like music from a power wheels commercial</p></blockquote>
<p>I would go with 80s myself, but I think Power Wheels fits 80s perfectly. It works on multiple levels.</p>
