This one is a study in Xenobiology. And toilet jokes.

The Best of 2018
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
Project Frontier
A programming project where I set out to make a gigantic and complex world from simple data.
The Best of 2016
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2016.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
Wonder where they’ve hidden the person who thought of this.
This somehow reminds me of Yahtzee’s review of Call of Juarez: Bound in blood… something about eating danger and s…ting bullets.
I am reminded of finding unopened potato chips (or money) in the trash cans in System Shock 2.
I’m reminded of drinking toilet water in Fallout 3 to heal yourself.
I just picked up on the title: “The Circle of Ammunition”. Awesome.
But now I have The Lion King’s theme stuck in my head…
A little bit off-topic, but I wanted to say I like the new Stolen Pixels logo… it’s been there for a couple issues or so?… with sorta the stolen “O” look — did you make it yourself? (…and, your banner ads here for Stolen Pixels need to be updated, too :) )
I really like the idea of a society of people who eat nothing but guns and poo bullets. I would imagine it’s a very manly society.
From reading the title, I totally thought this was going to relate to the soldier turret’s magical ring of ammunition generation. Anyway, one time while I was driving through northern Texas with some friends, I found a half-dozen 22 bullets in a rest station urinal. I decided to leave them there for the next guy. I guess, in some respects, Texas is somewhat similar to Pandora.
Well, if my memory serves me right, I found my share of shotguns and 10mm pistols (with their respective ammo)in refrigerators in fallout 1 and 2. So, nothing new here. Well, except for the toilets.
