We weren't able to put my cat to sleep. She had been with me for a short time over a decade, and living in Canada, on a ranch no less, that's quite a feat. (Animals tend to meet untimely fates around here. Larger beasts, vehicles and more. You know.) Anyways, it was in the middle of winter...

Thanks, I'll do my best at that. I can work, but I'm just scared of failure. I cannot stand the thought of not meeting someones' expectations, it scares the hell out of me. Oh god, I'm a failure at life. It is my first job...Thanks for the tips. Dammit, my original post sounded so drama-e...

Hey, Escapist, maybe this is a good time. I'm a 20-year old shut-in. Well, 19, but I'm turning 20 on April 28th. I've been given an ultimatum by my parents: I either get a job, here, now, somewhere, or I get out. They're selling my computer tomorrow, and I don't even have a phone. They...

Bullets are pretty dangerous, yo. Even something of low caliber will result in death by blood loss after 10+ minutes, possible less if the bullet hit and splintered the bone. Especially if you're shot in the thigh. You'll be just as dead as a gut-shot.

I'm still recovering from the time that I opened a chocolate bar at lunch-time when I was walking past a playground on a week-day. I still can't look at a Twix without remembering the agony I suffered. But, to be honest...If they were just, you know, kids, I probably couldn't really hurt...

I grew up where there was no "Easy" mode. There was "Beat it, or die trying. Probably the latter." Nowadays, I usually make my first run on whatever "Hard" would be classified as, and if I can't handle it, I re-roll and go on "Normal". I play video games for a challenge. I don't play them if...

When people tell me that "Feminism" is about making "Games for girls", and not about trying to save impoverished, raped or humilated women in countries that treat them like dirt. When I see a thousand facebook posts every day about "Sexual harassment" from someone seeing a video game that they...

Well, sure. Of course, it'd be voluntary. Pedophiles are classified as having a mental disease. Zoophilia is, too. Necrophilia as well. These people obviously need help, so if they want to, why not help those who are struggling with homosexuality? I mean, I'm A-OK with it, and I'd never classify...

That's a good question. I'd go with "Freedom". Take it as you will. I don't really feel that what the word "Freedom" is supposed to mean, is actually what it DOES mean. And this bothers me to no end.

Hm. I can't say that this game interests me, and the controversy that it has created is similarly off-putting, but I might check it out if it goes on sale. $20 for a roughly two hour game isn't...The greatest deal that I've ever seen. Heck, I paid $10 for Minecraft years ago, and I'm still...

Maybe it's because I'm in Canada, but I've never tipped, never seen anyone tip, and never been asked to tip. I live in Saskatchewan, so things may be a bit different around here, but I like it. I rarely eat out as it is, preferring home-cooked meals, but when I do I pay for my food, eat it...

I live in a small town in Saskatchewan (That's a province in Canada, just so you know), in a town known as "Eastend". It's actually pretty popular, believe it or not, and is a GREAT tourist hot-spot. But the town is very closely knit together, and newcomers are treated harshly, rather than...

I've actually never even had a PS3 or 360, but I am planning on getting a PS4. When I first watched E3, and they started revealing all that stuff about the Xbox One (Always online DRM, no used games and etc), I decided, right then and there, that I wasn't going to get it. Why? Because I have...

Oh, jeez. Cry of Fear. I was playing the Co-op with three other friends for the sixth or seventh time (It's honestly really difficult, so we never made it past halfway), when we finally managed to get to the next area. (We were having trouble fighting a Giant, since we had no ammunition left...

People who constantly over-use smileys in text-based conversations. Really, people, adding "-_-" ":D" "XD" ":3" ":<" and etc don't really add anything to your statement. I could understand a simple smiley face here and there, but anything more just makes me upset, and I don't really know why...
