last part of my dream was talking to people in an elevator about times i've said bizarre fully-formed phrases in a dream, spurred on by me comforting a woman about communication issues by saying "data is a silent orator and loneliness is the data" followed by "i've never said that before in my life"

so in eternal daughter, you need the sub-weapon that sticks into walls or the familiar's flying ability to get this upgrade, but if you double jump and then wall jump, and one of those guys on the leaves happens to spawn above you, the damage will knock you back into it so you can get it way earlier

"while you were surfin' USA i was studying the blade"
"i'm surfin' her pussy, you're surfin' USA. we are not the same"
"drank from the hose until there was no water left for surfin' USA"
"surfin' chibi USA"

solely wishing that ivy the kiwi got sequels because the title is written "Ivy the Kiwi?", meaning its sequels could have names like "Did You Just Say Ivy the Kiwi?", "Is That My Homegirl Ivy the Kiwi?", or "Ivy the Kiwi?

very funny that guild wars 1 is getting gamepad support before guild wars 2
Ah, interesting - they're doing a slightly polished up re-release of the original Guild Wars (with all expansions built in) - out in a couple weeks for $20.
Always good to see legacy games like this getting some love. Especially as there's still nothing like the OG Guild Wars. One of a kind game.
