    Twisted Metal 2 is one of the best games ever, and the point of that game is to blow EVERYTHING up. Yet, I don't shoot anything. Huh.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Paris and the Netherlands are the best levels. Use a remote, topple the top of the Eiffel Tower, then drive on the rooftops and collect stuff, including a health recharge.

      I also played that game. Mom was not a fan.

        The cheat codes were the best: remote napalms for the win.

          I had Vigilante 8 instead - still on my all-time underrated game list.

          Car combat game set during the 70's oil crisis - bad guy cartel leader is trying to corner the market, a group of vigilantes are trying to stop him, they all end up breaking into Area 51 and stealing all kinds of goodies and having car combat.

          Best car by far was the disco dancer in the AMC Gremlin lookalike - the special was a black box on the trunk that popped up a disco ball and shot flares everywhere within like a 20-foot radius. Anyone hit by the flares would be juggled and take a crap ton of damage, along with being susceptible to weapon combos (which had a damage multiplier if multiple weapons hit the same car at the same time.) You could wipe out the weaker to middling cars from full health in one volley. And it had no recharge whatsoever.

              Some data from the FBI

              From Emily Miller on FB..

              I did some research on homicide by rifle for those calling for a federal "assault weapon ban." You can see below that the law from 1994-2004 did not reduce rifle murder, which trends with overall gun violence.

                          Data is data. You draw interpretations from the data. One fact emerges - while gun homicide deaths are going up, the % by rifle holds steady. The fact that we're killing each other by gun, knife, explosives, etc. is sickening. We have to address the sickness.

                          What happens when I stand for my Particular Judgment is between me and Christ. Not you.

                              Watching CNN, and a survivor is apologizing for crying, because it's "sissy." Makes me mad/sad that he feels he has to apologize for that. Dude, shed tears. It shows you care.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                Trump actually giving thought to red flag laws?! I'm treating this as simply noise right now, but if he actually follows through on this...whoa. To say I'd be surprised would be an understatement. FTR, not holding my breath.
