Thyroid

I used to like pigeons, till one of them took a crap on my burger. Things just went downhill from there.

Yeah, Chris. Why are you so smart? Why do you not think like the rest of us?

I laughed a lot. But I think you meant either this or this for the XKCD comic.

I love The Onion. I really do. High school shooting: we should have seen the signs. Of course there's always the genius in the comments who thinks this is real. Speaking of which -- (Heh. Funny AND cute.) -- "DUDE! are u some kind of sick person to watch those hamsters spin around over and over on that wheel knowing that they can get hurt! u sick bastered!!!!!!!!!" I love YouTube.

As opposed to most games. I wouldn't be too worried. If I remember properly Katamari was $20 on full price.

For Ico fans: wtf is this? oO

It's like watching a train wreck, sloowwwwwly falling from a bridge down into the gaping waters, so horrifying you can't look away. And then this came along and made me laugh about it. Should warn it has men kissing, I guess.

I've seen that video before, and it never gets old. It's her accent that gets to me: "popotame" or "baricelle". Only a kid could mis-pronounce something like that and make it cute. Westboro Baptist Church doing what it does best: live in the dark ages. The fact these guys hate Obama makes me that much more happy that he's in.

The original Half-Life. I just couldn't get into it, it was so boring. I went back to it when I was sixteen, found it enjoyable. But my brother played half of it (mostly the second half and all of Xen), and I never finished it - even though I later found out I was at the end of the game (that big child alien thing).

It's not, but having the attitude of "I'm offended by your use of the term BC" is on par with saying "Islam/Christianity/Judaism/whatever is wrong". I just drew a bad analogy. It's not like believing that there is no god will solve anything, mind you. If we all decide we're atheists we're going to find something new to fight about. You know: skin colour, origin, heritage. I may be wrong but didn't the Tutsi and the Hutu essentially slaughter each other over nose-sizes? Fanaticism is the real problem. I agree with you. I was thinking of the God of the three major religions, who wants people to worship him. Hell and all that.

They're really good. Not as good as Sam and Max: S2, but so far they've been great. I'm at Ep 3 right now. I dunno why they get a bad rep, they've been nothing but fun. The race part in Episode One was hilarious - that could only have come from Mike Stemmle. The second one is great too, Chuck Jordan shines. I just love this idea of having different people handle the different episodes, it's refreshing.

What I meant was all of those games can be played as stand-alones, with no prior introduction to the universe, and no continuation. I mean it's not like Hit the Road ends on a cliffhanger.

I'll say this about atheists: although I'm not an atheist myself (laugh at my ignorance), I can respect what they're trying to do. That having been said, the atheists going around trying to get more people to be like them and who plaster posters all over walls, telling people how to live, and are offended by the term "BC", are no better than the religious fanatics who'd kill children to make it to heaven. Stop telling me how to live. If I decide to believe in God but there isn't one, sucks to be me; and vice versa for you. (PS: Also, that having been said, I DO have my doubts, like any human, and I do read a lot of physics/biology/philosophy books in search for an answer. I'm on a Carl Sagan kick.)

Sure thing. . Probably NSFW.

I agree with the Team ICO games. Psychonauts. The original Metal Gear Solid could have been sequel-less. Errr...Sam and Max Hit the Road?

Only thing I know about Vancouver is that it has a very good band called Black Mountain. Umm, so yeah. If you see a Black Mountain show, go in.

Trust me, it's a lot bigger than you think. E.g., if you follow the rebels after a certain point and don't bother afterwards (say the power plant) you'll find yourself in a completely different area/kind of gameplay than otherwise. I snuck past the power plant, for example, and my brother helped the rebels take it. I went straight ahead and into the largest trap in the world (swamps and helicopters abound), he simply went around the forest. So on and forth. Needless to say he's great at that game and I suck.

Or something that won't end. But it does! So, good! Woohoo! So, on the PS3 wishlist: BioShock, Brutal Legend and whatever Team ICO is doing.

Well that kills any point in getting the first one. No way in hell am I getting involved in another endless series.

Because my PS3 is in another country, and my parents won't hear of a router, much less wireless (the PC is in the living room). And the reason I live with them is because I don't, I live alone in Canada and they live in Jordan, but I visit them in the summer (I left my PS3 for my younger brother).

I really want to get this - really really - but I have to know: does the fact that I have a lack of internet when it comes to my PS3 mean that a. I won't enjoy the game, b. won't enjoy the game as much, or c. totally not experience the game fully and should go weep - weep for heartbreak, and sorrow, and everything that is EVIL and STUPID and WRONG in this world -right now?

The lack of Sam and Max: Season Two disturbs me.

Hmm. Well, I'll say this: Metal Gear Solid 2 was the one that showed the potential of video games to. It's convoluted, yeah. It's a total mind-fuck, yeah. Is it brilliant? Yeah. The whole twist with was brilliant. All the games had a lot of needless cutscenes, bad pacing, some face-palm dialogue - even though there's a little that gets lost in translation. The series is an emotional whirlwind, but it takes itself too seriously. It can also get a little boring (e.g.: the ending scenes of the tanker chapter in MGS2). Also sometimes unnecessarily weird: why isn't the Cobra Unit just a bunch of very good soldiers...why does the Pain control bees, etc? It's just so out of place. All in all, a very good series, but man does it have its problems. Does it ever.

Schafer looks so...thin. Wow. oO Where'd you get that picture from?

It's actually just a really bad demo. A really, really bad demo. And it's chock-full of bugs. The actual game's rather good.
