Quoted for truth. As a general rule, I don't trust anyone who invokes "big government" and similar/related terms. 95% of those who beat the drums of smaller government are hypocrites with no sense of irony; these same people are perfectly fine with shit like the Patriot Act (or at least they...

I know I should, but my faith in the police goes below zero and into numbers only expressible in scientific notation. It's not like she made off with a load of cash or jewelry, so I doubt they'd care. The local cops are too busy fulfilling ticket quotas or going after homeless people to be of...

So picture this. You've just done an eight-hour shift, busting ass and cutting your fingers up in the process and the one thing you want to do is grab a drink, climb into bed and put on a really trashy movie. You get in the door around twelve-thirty, raid the kitchen for some quick munchies...

Technically, I don't start until next week, but it's a gig that I've had before, so I shall answer this in the present tense as if I was already working. My employer is a company that specializes in mid-scale gift items and sells a lot of junk food and I toil somewhere in the belly of the...

I've had fairly good days on past Friday the 13ths and yesterday was one of them. I got the job I'd been waiting all bloody summer on, I got on the bus in decent time even after taking the long way up (there's some construction going on a few blocks down the street, so every time I need to go...

Sounds like a plan. Some things just don't deserve to be dignified with responses. And in any case, this is coming from fucking Fox News. Everyone knows that it's an echo chamber for conservative wingnuts that panders to the paranoias, biases and fears of its audience. It's in the business...

Just beat Catherine moments ago. And by that I mean the credits are still going as I type this. I'm kinda pissed with the ending I got, but at least it was a believable and somewhat realistic one, given everything that happened.

Keep a cool head, don't let your neuroses get the better of you, don't put the guy on a pedestal and remember that there are worse things than being an "awkward silent weirdo," as you put it. Well said.

If you haven't already used it and ~400 pages isn't too long, then Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews might work. There's much, much worse out there (put it next to some of the books already mentioned in this thread and it'll look like the fucking Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by comparison), but...

There's never a hard and fast rule or a clear-cut answer as to what relationships are based on. Some are about love and others are about money or status. They may be the result of pressure from outside, e.g. arranged marriages in Middle Eastern cultures or random people being shipped together by...

A drinking thread! Now we're in my part of town! A few words before we start: Drink responsibly, pace yourself, know your limits, don't drink just to get drunk, yadda yadda yadda. Now that that's done, let's get down to brass tacks: When it comes to beer, the best ones are usually the...

If you liked Butcher Bay, you'll enjoy Assault on Dark Athena. In essence, Dark Athena is Escape From Butcher Bay 2: Electric Boogaloo in terms of design and story progression, but it doesn't fuck with the first game's winning formula (and judging from the other games of theirs I've played...

Out of the early CMC episodes (this meaning the episodes before the Cutie Mark Chronicles, which is where the staff found the beat with the CMCs, in my estimation anyway), this is probably the best of the lot. But yeah, the "cutie mark = puberty" metaphor is a little shopworn.

I beat Bulletstorm a couple days ago. The verdict: one of the best first-person action games on the 360, or at least part of the upper 10%. It's the game Duke Nukem Forever should have been. Next on the itinerary is Catherine. I'm on the second floor of the Quadrangle as of this typing, so...

Maybe it's the Hennessy talking, but there's an awesome game set in the Abarat universe in my head right now. It's like the Elder Scrolls or KOTOR in style and structure, but the combat is pure Zelda. Come on people, let's put this thing into the world.
