  1. I Had A Random Thought...

    Years ago I was told it's something like "this is the point where too much of the plastic will have leeched into the water". That was how it was explained to me in passing forever ago and I have never bothered to look it up to confirm it or not. Use this information as you will.
  2. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    It took me a second look to realize what was happening. Holy christ that is evil.
  3. Idle Thumbs Tablature

    I will now attempt to play this. Also, I love that the tabs look like a series of wizard hats.
  4. Intoxicated:

    Yeah, Strongbow is great for the summer. There's also a local place in Calgary that makes one called Rock Creek which is pretty good. Osmosisch, Lagavulin is an awesome Scotch, but I likewise find I need to be in a mood for it. I can always, ALWAYS drink Talisker though. Love that stuff. First thing I did when I started making a decent paycheque and found myself able to afford good stuff was stock up.
  5. Rayman Origins

    Rocksmith.
  6. Intoxicated:

    I live in the West, which means I primarily drink whiskies and beers. I like both a lot, but am very particular about them until I've had enough to no longer care about drinking good things. I only just last month found a rye that I actually like, and still have yet to find a bourbon. Scotch and Irish though? Yes fucking please.
  7. I Had A Random Thought...

    A drunk man once stopped my best friend and I while we were walking down the street to tell her that she was "a lucky woman" because (pointing at me) "that right there? That's a pussy-eatin' jaw!" While years later it makes for a funny story, the question remains: what the fucking fuck is wrong with people?
  8. Diablo III

    Yeah, DIII and inFamous 1 are the only two games in which I turned up the difficulty mis-playthrough, and I found myself liking both more as a result. (Though honestly on your first playthrough, you can still only max DIII out at hard, which is still too easy.)
  9. Intoxicated:

    Fair play on the recovering alcoholic thing, but I have experienced many awesome vegan-friendly pizzas.
  10. Destroy Remo's Life in One Easy Step

    I got it! I own Wipeout 2048 (and by own, I mean "got free from PS+)! I just didn't say anything!
  11. Intoxicated:

    Yeah. He's a friend with a problem. If it's beyond your ability to directly solve it, all that is expected of a good friend is to be there. Gay doesn't matter, he's bummed about a relationship ending and you are there for him. If it helps you get over your "I was socialized into shitty views and have not yet fully overcome them" problem (one we all have, not judging. The difference is only WHICH shitty worldview we're each overcoming), just try to mentally replace the word "boyfriend" with "girlfriend" when you're thinking about it, remember to switch it back to "boyfriend" when speaking, and keep on doing what you're doing. Your duties as a buddy would be the same in either case anyway. EVERYONE appreciates beer, pizza, and a reliable friend. Keep up the good work.
  12. I Had A Random Thought...

    I am very frustrated by a world in which I can go out with a different female friend three times in a couple of weeks, and every single fucking time at least three people comment on what a cute couple we make. Three different friends, two weeks. Apparently friends have good chemistry, I guess? Fuck heteronormativity, and fuck everything. (Sorry, just saw came home from going to see Collective Soul [fuck yeah trashy 90s rock] with my friend and getting sick of saying "nope, not a couple" to middle aged women who kept insisting that we had to be) EDIT (possibly belongs in "Intoxicated"): Also, I really want pickles, but I just brushed my teeth and that would be the worst decision in the world. Why the fuck did I not realize I wanted pickles until after the toothpaste was in my mouth?
  13. Webcomics

    Living just South of there, having an uncle who still works there, and going to school at a university where the default way of paying tuition is "just go work in the 'sands for a few years", that hit pretty close to home. Fuckin' Alberta, man. I like Calgary, I like a lot of things about this city. The fact that it is ENTIRELY reliant on the oil from that fucking place to continue existing is not one of them.
  14. Transistor

    THAT'S TWO DAYS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY ...which means we'll be out of town celebrating and I'll be waiting a bit to play the game.
  15. Does Anyone Here Speak Russian?

    A Russian person: Po Russki? Mikemariano: DEET doodoodoo doodoodoo doodooDEE doodooDOO doodoo DOO doot doot doot.
  16. anime

    For whatever reason, the most vivid memory I have in that show is the family trapped in a lighthouse because if they went outside seagulls would shit on them until they died. Therefore, classic show.
  17. "You can unlock new goats..." ...purchased.
  18. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    I'm getting this free on PS4 apparently. Go plus. Is it worth playing for no dollars?
  19. anime

    I know it's not anime related, and I'm in entirely the wrong thread for me, but I happened to see this and holy shit do I miss running home from school when I was like 9 to watch Round The Twist on TV Ontario. I don't think I've ever known anyone else who watched it, but then I was a super dorky kid with an Australian family, so it was required. Was it actually a big deal over there?
  20. Twitter :)

    January 20, 2007. Pimping out my Animal Crossing Wild World town. Also, apparently I thought back then that because my name was at the top, every tweet should read as though my name were inserted as the first two words before the body of the tweet. Also, I'm still glad that a pun I made in 2012 can make me smile. "If I stop moving, I'll fall asleep. It's like a shark, but with sleep instead of death. I have sharkolepsy."
  21. April Fool's Roundup

    This is my first April Fool's as a teacher. Let's just leave it at "eight year olds do not appreciate the subtlety that a good joke would entail, and instead are asking about how much dickish behaviour I will tolerate tomorrow." I am bracing myself pretty hard.
  22. GTA V

    Wavves and Best Coast are two of my partner's favourite bands, so when either one is featured in a game, she takes notice.
  23. Batman: Arkham City

    I bought Origins during the holiday sale and beat it last month. 100% completion. I know this is largely considered heresy on the internet but... I preferred it to City. Yeah, they're pretty much the same game, but I really thought that what they did with the villains was kind of interesting. Mechanically, there is almost no difference, so if that's all you're looking for it's totally skippable. The window dressing in City made me feel like a sleazebag though, and Origins did not. I got a game that is equally fun to play but less gross. That's a win in my book. As for technical, it crashed to desktop like 3 times in the time it took me to get 100%. YMMV.
  24. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Wow. Just... wow.
  25. Feminism

    The fast food industry is secretly run by women trying to rid the world of men by giving us all heart attacks! Conspiracy revealed!
