  1. The Idle Thumbs Chorus

    There is no way I'm putting my naked singing onto the internet without instrumental accompaniment (and other people embarrassing themselves at the same time).
  2. Riddle me this...

    A clock that, once it runs out of juice, droops its hands southward.
  3. I Had A Random Thought...

    Statistics show that as education levels rise and child death drops, parents worldwide overwhelmingly gravitate towards less children. A sustainable population starts with educating people and lifting them out of medieval health standards. The latest thinking is that mankind won't grow exponentially, but is levelling out for this very reason. We'll reach about 10 billion in 2050 I believe, and that'll be about it. There's more than enough room and resources for that much people, if we allocate it wisely and restructure our economies.
  4. Life

    That is heartbreaking. Shit, Subbes, I'll be thinking of you all.
  5. Riddle me this...

    No, no, I have it. The man, upon finally catching his breath in the train and enjoying the scenery, discovers a strange note in his pocket that hitherto he couldn't read and had forgotten he received weeks before. As he folds it open the blood drains from his face and his hands start trembling. His eyes dart across the lines and he reaches for the old-timey pistol in his coat. His lips involuntarily move along as he reads: "The last will and testament of the deceased, Thomas Wayne. In the event of my death, I hereby declare that all my worldly possessions pass to my son, Bruce Wayne..."
  6. Plug your shit

    Crawl has an amazing trailer, it oozes fun.
  7. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    Apart from the DLC, the Painted World of Ariamis is the marquee area of the game. So hauntingly beautiful and deadly.
  8. Riddle me this...

    A truly outrageous German.
  9. GTA V

    Thanks, I had no idea what this was. We have nothing similar in Nedderplattdeutschsprache.

  11. GTA V

    I'm with Clyde: what the hell is a sentence diagram and how can I make one?
  12. Batmazement: Knightly Man Bruce

    I'm heartened to read they are clearly going the excellent way of city regarding their approach to the open world: a smaller world with more stuff in it per square meter, rather than a huge expanse of desolate location. It's a huge reason why City worked for me, it felt so alive and detailed at all times.
  13. Riddle me this...

    Yes, that would be highly logical. Notice how the riddle states that all the leaves fall onto the ground, not to the ground, implying that every single one of them touches the ground.

  15. Riddle me this...

    How was this a hint for bookkeeper?!
  16. Batmazement: Knightly Man Bruce

    The things I recall from The Dark Knight Rises, in specific order: - It took a good six hours before Batman showed up - Halfway through I got nauseous for no other reason than watching the film and it didn't pass until the end - Bane was kind of cool - At the time I thought the Scarecrow inclusion was lame, but now I see it as the highlight of the film - Catwoman was in there and she did things like stealing and a bunch of stuff I don't remember - The Batwing was really ugly
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    He did? That's terrific. Do you have the interview somewhere?
  18. Batmazement: Knightly Man Bruce

    I feel it's now safe to assume that the entirety of Batman history is some sick machination on Thomas Wayne's part. The video cuts it off, but as Bruce reads on, his dad gets into crazy territory. "I have carefully put into place a chain of events that will in twenty years time flush an innocent man out into a chemical plant. That man, Bruce, will become the greatest enemy you've ever faced. But don't worry, I have arranged for you to be trained in the depths of exotic Asia. When you return, there will be a commissioner with a moustache waiting for you. If only this plan didn't call for my sweet Margaret to join me in my earthly grave, but alas, the strands of fate are indifferent and MY WILL BE DONE."
  19. GTA V

    By wotan's beard, only now do I see the hyphen-pocalypse in your original post. Is that a thing in your life? Are you struggling with hyphens? Do you seek professional hyphen-aid?
  20. Yeah, and under weird circumstances. She didn't go voluntarily, apparently? Interested to hear more.
  21. GTA V

    I didn't mean it disparagingly, it's a cool GTA observation!
  22. Riddle me this...

    Slanted text is the universal sign of a hint!
  23. Riddle me this...

    Well, then it's obviously not the answer you had in mind. It's a goddamn riddle, not a multiple choice query that must take into account any loquacious colloquialism.
  24. GTA V

    For the longest while I didn't know if the events you transcribed were real or took place within GTA5. Beyond that, the formatting of the post made me expectant of a spam link at the end leading to, perhaps, a dietary supplement.
  25. Riddle me this...

    «The Baffler» is funny because it sounds like a sexual perversion. Is the answer Woolloomooloo? I know that word because my sister worked in a restaurant with that name in Avignon, it's supposed to be some area somewhere.
