Q: What did the rape say to the rape? A: To get to the other side!

I suppose I could play on "easy"?

Thumb wrestling.

Did you actually play it on a computer? Like: emulated? Or did you play it back when it was new? I'm interested to hear your perspective on it if you played Super Mario Bros. somewhat recently, for the first time.

Another awesome moment: I was escaping from a hostile military base through the woods, but the army had called in a helicopter. It was shooting at me, but wasn't doing well, because I had a lot of cover from the trees, so it came down really low. I grappled to it and commenced the "entering a helicopter" quick-time event in which you smack the pilot around so you can throw him out and take the controls. While I was doing this, the chopper smashed into a tree and we both died. It's as though the game recognized that...oops! no one's actually controlling this vehicle right now! and responded appropriately. Another Loony Toons moment, I suppose.

Just want to step in and say: maybe you don't want to make this kind of generalization about "every company." That's kind of extreme, you know?

For Killzone 2!

Oh, ok. I forgot about the UK system of higher education.

My former statement stands.

Computer Nerd Alert!

Word is bond, kid, 'na mean?

Have you been accepted by any schools yet? You probably shouldn't get too dead set on one in particular before you know what your options are. Also...unless you're wealthy or something, you'll probably want to wait and see what each school you're accepted to offers you in terms of scholarships and financial aid.

What the hell is all this?

The HP Mini looks cool. Am I dumb for saying that? I don't know about computers.

What a weird, ambiguous law.

Oxford Cambridge And...St. Andrews, but that's a common name so I don't know if I've ever heard it being used to describe an English university.

Do you think the 360 version would be scaled back too much to get the full experience?

That sounds like a terrible disease. YES. multiplayer. deathmatch.

I've been to Canada twice and I really like it. Harvey's!!!

Cool, man: to both of the thing-a-ma-bobs that you said.

You guys should be getting paid for this thread.

Who got drunk...anyone? I would like to see or hear Chris or (especially) Jake drunk. It would be funny would it not?

Or the Half-Minute Hero of flash games? By the way...have any thumbs played Half-Minute Hero? That shit looked really awesome but I don't have a PSP and I really don't want to buy one. Also: Patchwork Heroes.
