I bet 90% of probies I've had to give out are in the giant bomb thread because I guess the other one attracts the worst posters in history

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I didn't know there was one in the Imp Zone. Frankly I don't even know what the imp zone is any more. The other one seems to be full of bitter husks that hate every person and all content, as well as Majora's Mask and Mario Sunshine.

That thread was talking about the businesses who advertise through their podcast one time and I offhandedly mentioned I use dollar shave club and some guy got really mad about that for some reason.

Maybe he's against defacing the dollars by shaving them.

Diablo 3 becomes a surprise bullet hell game once you start getting into GR80+ or so.

I wish Spiral Knights didn't have a f2p model because the core gameplay is pretty fun. Imagine Zelda Four Swords but almost all enemy attacks are bullet patterns or AoE windups.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Yeah, they removed energy on elevators and replaced it with a pretty obtuse equipment system for diving deeper. Then they removed that and made a much better quest system where you can just click on a mission and get whisked away there, but that borked the f2p "economy" since you can grind whatever and whenever. The result was boosting the difficulty to Dark Souls levels.
