    Dr Wookie response post in 3...2...1...
  2. Hooray, thanks tabacco!
  3. Adulthood, Age, and Modernity

    Pic please! (Also, well done on your new sig!)
  4. What the..?! The blue dots/stars have disappeared from Idle Banter!
  5. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    That's what I meant by: Also, I'm going to be extra annoying and point out that it's spelt "Shaun" Mington, you can't just hire a costume, that's lame. You have to make your own. My most recent one was Evil Scarecrow which required a burlap sack, some straw and some shit clothes. It was really freaky but very very hot. One girl came to that party as the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth, that was amazing.
  6. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Round these parts we specify 1977 or 1986.
  7. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Chuck and that thing he's in now (and wasn't he in at least one of the. Half Life 2 episodes?). EDIT: ninja'd
  8. A Super Fun Quiz for everyone!

    5. is A complete guess at 30. is
  9. A Super Fun Quiz for everyone!

    I've posted number 5 previously in one of our many video game music threads! Are we allowed to start posting our guesses yet? I have a solid guess for 14 and a wild stab in the dark for 30.
  10. The Idle Thumbs Store

    Maybe in a post by TychoCelchuuu.
  11. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Has anyone challenged them about that, seeing as it directly contravenes that promise they made about no comment getting deleted unless it contained personal details ("period.")?
  12. Adulthood, Age, and Modernity

    We also discussed that Slate article here. I said:
  13. The Idle Thumbs Store

    Goodness you lot, it's spelt Idle Vice, because it's an Idle Thumbs t-shirt with a colour scheme reminiscent of Miami Vice, but there is a punny aspect to it because it sounds like "Edelweiss".
  14. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    #nottheirshield?
  15. If you forget to use shift-ctrl-v, there's always the "Remove Format" eraser next to the light-switch as well.
  16. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    I think a lot of it was the latter. If people are going to engage with Gamers, they need to spot these tricks. There are far too many people jumping on and falling into his trap; this huge conversation should have entailed one person giving him a link for proof and then withdrawing once he ignores it.
  17. If Notch becomes a billionaire, you know Psychonauts 2 is happening.
  18. Post your face!

    Gwardinen, you skipped the Hitler moustache stage! Rookie mistake! You ended up looking a bit like Cillian Murphy though, so you win.
  19. Feminism

    I'll start off - yes, you do. It's Wikipedia's decision whether/to what extent to maintain the privacy of their contributors and the reader's decision whether to trust the site in light of that fact. If you contribute to/edit Wikipedia on the understanding that you will have privacy, then you should get to keep that privacy and not be doxxed. Unfortunately, that rule has to stand for people who "do not have any interest in a neutral, factual narrative", but that's up to Wikipedia to sort out, not for others to solve by doxxing. In other words: if you don't like a building, then just avoid entering it; don't set it on fire.
  20. Returned Vita :)

    Hooray! Well done for being one of those theoretical "decent people" that I always hope have found whatever thing I've lost.
  21. Happy Birthday!

    Happy Dishonored Birthday for tomorrow, Lord Chris!
  22. Who here likes video games?

    I was wondering if "video game" was popularised by an industry that wanted to be associated with home video players in the consumer's mind. I can't find anything about the history of the term(s), though.
  23. Shaving My Thumbs

    Hmm, well, I get none of those. Perhaps if I try a new blade I'll realise that I've been taking twice as long as I should be because of bluntness, or something...
  24. Shaving My Thumbs

    Huh. Am I the only person who uses their blade for months on end? What's the sign that its tie to change blade(s)?
