7:20 PMScrungle Humingsworth​normies – how are we gonna stay inside 24/7?!

7:20 PMScrungle Humingsworth​shitposters and introverts – *laughing in introvertness*

7:21 PMjordan thompson​I find supplies hoarding funny, if it all blows over youve got a ton of supplies for no reason, if it hits the fan the military will roll in a take people from their homes into a camp unable to us it

7:22 PMSusanne Christ​why would the military shove us all into a small enclosed area when we have an airborne illness O.O THATS my night.are

7:23 PMScrungle Humingsworth​Andrew I’ll trade you some toilet paper for some ration cards

7:23 PMjordan thompson​a controlled populas is less dangerous, separate the sick from the healthy

7:24 PMScrungle Humingsworth​its a jungle of hate down there, I rather not have to use tape

7:24 PMjordan thompson​how about go out and grab some leaves like the cavemen did

7:26 PMSusanne Christ​this is gonna make bidgets popular in the western world haha

7:27 PMjordan thompson​if kiddie nightlights went massively out of stock we’d all have a good laugh

7:28 PMjordan thompson​what is one item that if went out of stock fast would turn your head

7:28 PMScrungle Humingsworth​if stuff hits the fan I’m making rudimentary spears out of sticks and stones and going full caveman

7:29 PMSusanne Christ​trump bobble heads lmao

7:29 PMjordan thompson​the 1st

7:31 PMScrungle Humingsworth​I hope this panic buying shit dies down soon though

7:31 PMScrungle Humingsworth​I’m OUT OF A JOB NOW

7:31 PMSusanne Christ​I wish my school would cancel for a bit -_-

7:31 PMScrungle Humingsworth​no major events means no use for security

7:31 PMScrungle Humingsworth​I can’t buy games without a paycheck

7:32 PMSusanne Christ​France is still having their smurfs ralley

7:32 PMjordan thompson​i was in a sea of people at walmart stocking karts to the brim, I bought soda and a copy of man of steel on blu ray

7:32 PMaddictedtochaos​canceling E3 may ultimately be the right call but canceling it right now seems like it may be a little premature

7:32 PMjordan thompson​thank god for the smurf fans

7:32 PMScrungle Humingsworth​what about my e3 bingo cards Andrew, I love my cringy presentations

7:34 PMjordan thompson​back in the day in the infancy of things like E3 only press, investors and developers were allowed to attend maybe they should do that again

7:35 PMaddictedtochaos​this year for E3 all companies that would have attended should just do Direct style presentations and have all demos that would’ve been on the floor be on their respective storefronts eshop, psn, etc

7:36 PMSusanne Christ​I thi k they should do what playstation home did. you make an avatar and attend a digital show room and play demos that way ,:D

7:36 PMjordan thompson​[message retracted]

7:37 PMaddictedtochaos​yes opening e3 to the public was a mistake

7:38 PMjordan thompson​Andrew did you ever get any of the nintendo VHS tapes that marketed new games and consoles as a kid

7:41 PMjordan thompson​I found a review copy of hollwoodland (2006) at the pawn shop today its a pretty awsome find for my film collection

7:41 PMScrungle Humingsworth​Nintendo is the future cowards

7:41 PMaddictedtochaos​Ubisoft comes to mind on insufferable

7:43 PMjordan thompson​I swear if Diablo gets announced for Tiger eletronic handheld!?!

7:46 PMjordan thompson​and I thought google+ was a stupid idea

7:46 PMScrungle Humingsworth​Reggie becoming part of game stop is the start of game stop being good again

7:48 PMaddictedtochaos​BG&E 2 will be a trainwreck

7:49 PMjordan thompson​id like EA to make World Tour Poker but I’ll be okay with Madden21 its more or less the same mechanics

7:50 PMjordan thompson​I went to gamestop a week ago pretty sure the employee said pre order like 10 times within a few sentences

7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​i avoid all of that at gamestop

7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​i’m a frequent enough customer that i’m on a first name basis with everyone and they know to not ask me

7:52 PMaddictedtochaos​They are not supposed to put them on the cover art

7:52 PMjordan thompson​my local pawn shop is ran by people over 50 and they write number codes on cases to tell the difference between games and movie when they stock shelves

7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​the always online stipulation killed BG&E 2 for me

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​there was absolutely no reason to make it always online

7:57 PMScrungle Humingsworth​out of principle I try my best not to fund disney

7:58 PMScrungle Humingsworth​no more bandwidth caps? time to torrent
