Honestly, considering how often you've said how gosh-darn confusing those crazy ladies and their silly emotions are, I figured it was worth pointing out. You're really not coming across very well, here.

1. This is not hard to understand. Put yourself into her situation -- if you liked someone, and she was acting like she liked you back, would you rather she told you upfront she was already otherwise involved, or would you rather she showed up with her squeeze totally out of the blue? 2...

There's a place near my house that does incredibly greasy french fries with cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions. Left to my own devices I usually eat ridiculously healthfully; eating a full order of fries usually makes me feel pretty awful afterward, but they are so, so good.

I am not sure what that has to do with anything. You can watch movies with people you don't want to date, you know.

Oh man, I adore Monae. I think this guy's pretty neat.

Which is kinder, telling her she's a terrific friend and you're glad you know her, or knowing she's into you and leading her on because you don't want her to be mad at you? It's nice that you're trying to spare her feelings, but seriously, letting her think she has a chance when she really...

One of the first threads I got involved in on the Escapist was one about bisexuality, and it was filled with pretty much every stereotype and insult about bisexuals and bisexuality you can possibly think of. I'm actually extremely okay with not rehashing that particular discussion. P.S...

Well, in most shooters I play as a dude because I haven't got a choice about it. In RPGs I tend to play women more -- I like badass, intelligent, competent woman characters, and they tend to be in short supply as protagonists, so I like to make up for it when I can. That being said, I...

I learned to read very early and I read a ton, so my written vocabulary has always been larger than my spoken vocabulary. I used to mispronounce a lot of words. I thought eh-pih-tohm and eh-pih-to-me were two different words for the longest time, and that Natchitoches and Nack-a-dish were two...

Bi chicks are badass. Well, I guess I'm technically pansexual, since I'm plenty attracted to genderqueer and androgynous people as well, but calling myself bi works just fine. O.o there are plenty of asexuals who weren't abused as kids, and most people who were abused are not asexual...

Tell them you're DMing a 4ed game and if they really want to play 3.5 to do it themselves? If you want to be more polite you could say something about 4ed being more streamlined and easier for newbies to pick up or what have you, but if someone really has a problem with 4ed, too bad. As for...

I was playing L4D2 the other day. One of my teammates kept calling all of us faggots, so I finally told him to shut up via voice chat. He heard my squeaky girl voice and changed from calling me a fag to shouting, "shut up you bi". It's not the worst insult I've ever heard, but it was the...

So HARDCORE GAMERRRRRRRS can feel superior? idgi, seriously. Why do people care so much? Why are "gimmicky" controllers that let (gasp) NON-GAMERS play such a bad thing? How is getting more people to play games somehow bad or wrong? If you don't want to play the games that come out for...

I use WASD, but I put my ring finger on W, pinkie on A, and middle on D. Crouch is shift and sprint is caps, and if I have to hit either I use my ring finger for W, A, and S. I had no idea until now people don't usually put their fingers on the keys like that.

Yes. My mom has a hard time with WASD+mouse and I don't have a console, so most games I play are not going to work for her, but she liked Plants vs Zombies and Peggle well enough. My dad has played Portal and Bioshock with relatively little trouble and liked them both, and I'm trying to get...
