My mod was on the PC Gamer UK Podcast. They even mentioned it by name. I'm pretty sure I'm not famous. Yet. Yahtzee, though, gets millions of hits and ample press coverage. I think this is hardly far from his big break.

I'm probably going to move up there (from Eastern WA) in a couple years. My understanding of B.C. is it's essentially Portland II with more pot. This is not a bad thing, but really everybody I meet from there seems to be pretty cool, job market seems pretty decent, etc. Canada is just a...

Countries disguise aggression based on control of resources under the guise of fighting the good fight? You are aware this is not a recent phenomenon? And that we're not squeaky clean from the whole "meddling in elections" thing either? Iran? Nicaragua? Failing that, nearly all of Latin America...

I can see it now: "Who is John Galt?" *smirk* "Google John Galt."

This is propaganda and the only people that didn't see through it was the Drudge Report. If they wanted to blow up a pipeline they could do it - Iraqi insurgents do it all the time. This oil nonsense is pure conspiracy, with only grounding in the endless echo chamber of the Internet. But...

I never made that mistake! You can't prove it!

Yeah, that's my cue to stop taking this thread seriously.

I dunno. I know a few people that live in Singapore, and all of them found their mandatory service in the army..far from favorable. They talk almost like they have PTSD from it. I think mandatory military service, even domestic, could create a Hitler Youth-esque indoctrination scenario that...

Uh..the National Guard?

This movie would require the following: - An ending where all the characters launch themselves into orbit by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps - At least one backing song with the vocals: "fuck you I got mine", +5 if it's a aforementioned musical - A copious amount of rape and...

You are in control of a human army being attacked by two opposing alien forces: one organic and with lots of smaller, weaker units, and one extremely technologically advanced with extremely powerful and resource-intensive units. Ever since Starcraft..

Perfect setup, except grab the Xeon E3110 which is the same as the Wolfdale E8400, it's around the same price and is a much better processor. You can get a basic gaming computer for around $700 US if you look around enough.

It may be a reflection of it but it is not it. The sum of Japanese culture is not anime. In fact, while manga is relatively common, anime is very confined to the otaku population in Japan. Irrelevant to the point I was making. Four years and a bachelor's degree. That's a straw-man...

I got Wiimorse too. So I sold it. Problem solved - I can buy another one when there's some deep games. Sure, I miss playing GH3, but I can play it on my PC with the Wii controller, Trauma Center was fun but not _that_ replayable, and I was late to the Melee party a few years ago so I...

Anime has little to nothing to do with Japanese culture. That's as silly as saying American culture is summed up in Ducktales.
