@Tyranexx trains, Nazis, rice made from Smurfs, @ryu_niiyama s Ferrari needs parts, pineapples, and crackdown 3, and Bethesda. I might have missed something.
@NEStalgia It sounds like a crazy mashup of GTA, Wolfenstein, and Railroad Tycoon. The final boss is clearly Gargomel, who is hoarding all the pineapples while commanding his army of Freaks.
Made by Bethesda. Inspired by Mario Is Missing and a lot of something else.

I’m going to buy a weed eater today. I don’t have any grass, so it’s one of my most important yard work tools. I’ve been getting by for many years on an ancient weed eater I got from my grandpa’s auction. It’s heavy, leaks gas, takes roughly 10,000 pulls to start, and dies every time I release the throttle. It’s going to be a really nice upgrade, and merely thinking about purchasing equipment like that kind of makes me feel like Clint Eastwood. I’m gonna stroll into Home Depot with a hundred yard stare and pretend like I know exactly what I’m doing.
@gcunit - It's a grass type starter! Actually, I’m not positive how to post pictures, but imagine a four foot aluminum pole with a big u-shaped handle and squeeze throttle right in the middle. On one end is a small, two cycle engine which spins a bladed head at the other end of the pole. You hold it at 45 degree angle, with the motor up in the air while you sweep just above the ground with the bladed head to cut down weeds and other vegetation. The “blades” are often just sections of braided plastic weed eater string, but I’m looking for the upgraded head with three plastic blades. I’m in the woods, so I’m hacking away at vines, stringy plants, and volunteer trees.
But seriously, tell us what @Anti-Matter e-mailed you. Is it about Arnold Eagle? It is, I know it.
@bimmy-lee I go all yuppie battery powered on such things. Can't stand gas engines. They're fiddly, messy, you smell like an oil rig when you're done, half-deaf, and if you're unskilled at maintaining gas engines they break constantly, cost a fortune to maintain and are painfully inconvenient. And it was bad enough before our darling government "fixed" the design of gas cans from their "broken" state of a jug with a spout into the failure-driven spring-loaded disaster based cap-less contraptions they are now, so every time you fill a small gas engine you dump about a pint of gasoline on the grass and your feet, before it soaks through your hands from running down the side.
Plus....I've got most of the batteries around from most of my other tools already, except for the big special batteries for the really powerful outdoor tools....
@gcunit Weed Eater is a name brand, used commonly like Kleenex for tissues or Frigidaire for refrigerators (more of a '50's, '60's thing.) Also called weed whackers, string trimmers, etc.
@bimmy-lee@NEStalgia Got ya. I know those as strimmers (for the smaller, plastic line cutters - I have a corded electric one) or brush-cutters (that's what my Dad calls his engine powered bladed version).
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
