    Gamestation Defends "Sexist" Ad

    Jeeze, thank you! It was seriously bothering me how many people were clearly not reading the ad correctly. Ha ha, you know what my favourite part of these comments are? Well, two things really. One, I absolutely love the argument that "well yeah it's kind of offensive, but there are other...

    The Worst Theatrical Slaughter Since Abe Walked Into Ford's

    Supposedly they have... the show got postponed until new safety measures could be put into place. They also said that they investigated the incident where the stuntman broke his ribs and basically said that it was the stagecrew's fault, not a mechanical error. Apparently they are going to...

    The Worst Theatrical Slaughter Since Abe Walked Into Ford's

    Ah, in reference to my earlier comment: "The intermission began at 8:19 p.m.; it was still under way 34 minutes later when some in the audience began to clap in unison, as they passed their two-hour mark inside the theater. Mr. White, the production stage manager, then said over the...

    The Worst Theatrical Slaughter Since Abe Walked Into Ford's

    At first I wondered "who the hell is Stage Managing this show, and why are they letting this happen", but... seriously, I would hate to be in their shoes; I imagine they are under a ton of pressure, and this show sounds like an absolute frigging *nightmare* to have to be in charge of come show...

    Is music, music anymore?

    Also, yes, thank you for posting that (the Lady Gaga Pokerface video, sorry, I fail at quoting things). I always bring this up when someone starts ripping on pop music today and Lady Gaga invariably pops up. Just because someone isn't always making music that showcases their full...

    Is music, music anymore?

    There are many things I want to reply to in this thread. For example, the guy who listed "Rappers, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Justin Beeber" all in the same category. Wow man, way to flippantly dismiss an entire genre of music while clearly having very little...

    Relationships and life.

    Just to speak from personal experience: My girlfriend was definitely not always interested in me. Back when we were sort of part of the same friend group in high school but didn't know each other, I told her through email that I really liked her, we should date sometime, etc. She rejected me...

    Poll: Social networking sites

    Fair enough, I can see your reasoning there I suppose. It just seems to be a strange thing to judge someone on, and a bit of an overgeneralization.

    Relationships and life.

    That's what I thought, and I can understand you thinking that way, but that isn't a mentality to have. You shouldn't be nice to people because you think you can get something out of them, you should be nice because they are another human being, and just as you deserve for people to be nice to...

    Relationships and life.

    I seriously feel your pain. I'm sure there are few that don't, we all know what it's like to be alone. And I wish I could offer you some good advice, but... the same things just don't work for every person. However, this particular sentiment in your post really bothered me. What do you mean when...

    Poll: Social networking sites

    Here's a question that always sort of perplexes me, and perhaps you guys will have more insight into the matter. I'm honestly not pointing any fingers in asking, but why is it that some people get so superior about not using Facebook? I mean, it's not just that, I find it in a lot of the gaming...

    Poll: Social networking sites

    Yes, meeting with people "IN PERSON" is lovely, and it is how I prefer to do things. But Facebook is invaluable for letting me keep track of events and student groups that I am running. It's a lot easier to message all the members of a Facebook group than it is to keep a long lis of emails...

    Old games that you think need a remake

    Deus Ex. It's not thaaaaat old, and it's definitely still playable, but... I don't know, that game sucked me in, and every year/couple of years I go back and play it, but it gets older and older. Maybe they'd make it so you actually have choices in the story... one part in particular, though...

    Poll: Where the hell did all these newbies come from?

    Well, I've been floating around the site for a good long while now, and even stopped by the forums to read things that looked interesting. But, I never actually joined because I know for a fact that I have no attention span when it comes to these things... no matter what the forum or online...

    Poll: Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?

    Indeed I do... it'll be two years in January. She has an old-school RPG pedigree that absolutely puts me to shame, too. Chrono Trigger, FF7, all those fun titles that I could never put the kind of hours in necessary to beat. She's not quite as good at the shooters... she's still not quick enough...
