All salespeople talk out of their asses five minutes before closing time. Fact.

While this thread is still knocking about, perhaps it's a good time to ask about Evon. What was her purpose in it? I didn't really understand why she was in the movie...

That sounds pretty awesome. How much is it setting you back?

My avatar is awesome. Just thought I'd point that out. Kingz has no problem with mine. Just thought I'd point that out, too. Yeap, pretty much just dropping by to point that out...

I started playing Doom 3 the other night, and I spent about 3 minutes trying to get out of a room by leaping off objects trying to catch hold of a ladder that was just out of my reach, in the dark. Then I realized there was an elevator. I think the elevator was pretty dark, too. It surprised me that there was an elevator. Come to think of it, why are games designed so crappily, most of the time? Do people really leave barrels of gas lying about Underground Laboratories? Do you really have to navigate high tech facilities by use of a network of ladders that often require you to leap to reach them? What must it be like to work in L'oreal, where I'm sure they have plenty of scientists and barrels of petrol? Is there some kind of secret Staff Entrance that allows workers to avoid the death traps that await the casual infiltrator? Do people at Laboratoire Garnier have to put up with this shit every day? No wonder their Shampoo and Conditioner is so crap; they probably piss in the formula by way of protest against working conditions. That, or the main ingredient is Petrol. Or crates. Or Crates of Petrol. Or Crates, Petrol and Ammo. Or Crates of Ammo covered in Petrol. I mean, even in Doom 3, there seems to be a lot of rooms that exist for the sake of being rooms. I don't think they serve any real purpose. If I walked past a Staff Room or a Games Room or a TV room or any kind of non-underground lab-looking room at any point, I was probably too shit scared to notice it. But I don't think I did. No, wait. There was that one Arcade Game. I think that was in a canteen. What could they possibly use all that petrol for anyway? Not in Doom 3, mind. I don't think I've blown up one barrel of Petrol yet. I'm sure there'll be some eventually. I mean, they must use something to fuel all those neat flashing lights in the walls. And if it's not Barrels of Petrol or crates in general, it's something explosive. It's like they're actively TRYING to make it dangerous and unpleasant to work underground in secret weapon facilities or something. And where do all these generic scientists come from? What are they doing at their consoles? How do they get IN to the building? This brings me back to the idea of Staff Entrances. Considering that it's so hard to become an Architect, they fuck up BIG TIME when it comes to Secret Underground Facilities. And they wonder why the Staff Turnover is so high (well, that and the whole infiltrator-randomly-shooting-people thing). That said, Doom 3 is alright. It's still an abuse of basic human rights, but at least there are no barrels of petrol. Yet.

I'm laughing at the people with the shifty eyes, not the fact they shift their eyes when you say, "black". And I'm not laughing with them, I'm laughing at them.

Dear god! You're taking me seriously?

While we're on racism... I think it's hilarious the way people in Ireland treat racism. Until about ten years ago, I guess there wasn't an awful lot of non-Irish people in the country. Then, all of a sudden, there was a LOT. The Irish people are nice, if not a little shallow. They tried very very hard to accept all these new people. Of course, to me, it seems pretty normal because I spent a lot of time growing up in London. If you're describing somebody as "a black guy" or "indian guy" or something in Ireland, they look around with shifty eyes and say, "Shh! Coloured!" Even the police. I think that's funny.

He named his dogs Barney and Spot??? Spot? And BARNEY?!

Alright, I don't have an hilarious error to contribute. But I had to say this somewhere. Your avatar... you look like Sean Connery in it. I'm sorry. I've wanted to say that for ages. You probably don't even really look like him, but I think you do. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But there you have it. Oh, wait. I do love that one error message I get sometimes when doing various different things. It's simply a big question mark and a blank box, and a "yes" or "no". If I recall correctly, I mostly get it when trying to install games. I mean, what am I agreeing to here?

I made a pizza with no ingredients and fed it to the Mafia in Pizza Tycoon. Oh, and in Theme Park, I used to built the HIGHEST HILL YOU POSSIBLY could on a rollercoaster, and then have a sharp turn at the end of the hill. Disaster!

Don't you guys feel that maybe there is some kind of Government Conspiracy going on, that's going to ensure Bush wins again? I mean, how can an entire nation of people not see how stupid he looks, and in fact is?

Yeah, so does the "Virgin" Mary. That should tell you all you need to know about Cookies.

What the hell is hard to pronounce about 'The Thumb'???

I'm going to save this information and use it as a weapon, one day. P.S. Pie. I don't know, but you Americans seem to be pretty big in to your cookies. They're not special. They're just not. But pie is.

A certain somebody that just broke up with his Girlfriend (much to my delight) was telling me how he'd got a tattoo of her name on his hip, and now he's gonna have it laser removed because he ultra super regrets it. On the other hand, since you don't have personal relationships with stars... I really like your toes. Mine are crap.

I'm looking for a song from The Frames. I think it's called Star Shining. I'm not sure. I keep getting Window Frames and HTML frames returned in my google results. I'm looking for a midi file, not an MP3. Anybody point me in the right direction? I think it's called Star Shining anyway. I don't know.

If you pissed directly into the fridge as apposed to all that aiming-into-a-can shguff first, you'd probably save quite a bit of energy.

I didn't do anything. I don't know what you're talking about. The honesty ship has set sail, and I'm standing at the starboard with my hair blowing in the wind. The wind of Honesty.

I'm just messing with you. I haven't even seen the trailer yet. I just felt like saying something outrageous. Psychonauts is awesome. Peace.

It looks awful. This is a real big letdown.

Right at the very start of the game, before there were even any monsters... I got so startled while turning a corner that my hand jerked back on the mouse and I fired several shots into the wall right beside this poor, innocent scientist who had only been trying to greet me. Or something. I don't know, I wasn't really listening to what he had to say because I was trying to find my inhaler. (P.S. I don't have athsma, I was just saying that for dramatic effect).

You suck!!! You spoiled the game for me!!! Man, Hell? I would never have seen that coming. Thanks a bunch, for nothing.

I don't know about you guys, but I nearly pee'd my pants when I first stepped out into Mars.
