    282: Ghost-Type Story

    I would love to have a shot at playing that game. I'd dig up my old gameboy for this any day.

    Poll: Do You Use the Word "Gay" as an Insult?

    People like me are bad apples? Just as you say I have no idea about your life, you have no idea about mine. I'm not going to get into a big fuss with you about this. I was just trying to point out that some people outside your group of friends - who "make you use" the derogatory term - might...

    Poll: Do You Use the Word "Gay" as an Insult?

    Having a gay friend doesn't make it any less hurtful and insulting to the people around you. It doesn't make it "okay" to insult someone's identity and lifestyle just because someone of your acquaintance is alright with it - which they may not be and just may not tell you (that's always a...

    How much make-up is too much?

    Not that my gender really matters, but I am a woman (yes, more estrogen in the gaming world). I'm gay, and I personally don't find women who wear a lot of makeup attractive. I tend to go for women who don't wear any at all, or so little that I can't tell. It's not attractive if you're hiding...

    Collegiate Quidditch Players Seek NCAA Recognition

    I think a lot of people view the whole Harry Potter trend as kind of a vent for all the would-be baby Trekkies in the world. I mean, I enjoyed the books to a certain extent, but it's hardly the end-all-be-all that these people are turning it into. Wow. Seriously? It's pretty hilarious to watch...

    279: Homeward (Earth)Bound

    Watched a couple of the videos... This looks decently amusing. I kind of want to give it a whirl.

    Friends With Benefits

    Essentially, friends who have sex with each other, or are otherwise physically intimate without entering into the whole emotional mess of a relationship. It's a mutual benefit kind of thing.

    Friends With Benefits

    Most definitely. I'm female, and the majority of my relationships with men and other women have been the type of "friends with benefits" relationship you're talking about. Sometimes it develops into more, sometimes it's just that - a friend that you are physically involved with. It all depends...

    Super Mario Bros. Birthday

    Haha, yeah, I know it's odd. Just what we grew up calling it in my family. The ES versus the 64, etc. Hard habit to shake sometimes.

    Super Mario Bros. Birthday

    I played some old school Mario Bros on an old Nintendo ES held together with electrical tape the other day... Brought back memories of my childhood. It was one of the first video games I ever played. Well met, Mario & Luigi.

    Super Mario Bros. Birthday

    Laughed so hard at this. Couldn't help making a pointless post about my mirth.

    Naming your PC

    I'm currently working off of a pretty nice Asus laptop rig, which I've tentatively named Zeus, until I find a better name - if I do.

    Google Apologizes for Buzz

    I can't even begin to describe the bugs I've had to fix on friends' computers after they started using Chrome. So many viruses... It was like working in a robotic triage center. The worst part, some of them have even kept on using it, claiming that it wasn't Google, must have been something else...

    Google Apologizes for Buzz

    Facebook certainly does have a corner on the market, and while there are privacy concerns, they are no where near the level of those experienced by Myspace and the like. I joined Facebook back when it was only open to college students - it was a fantastic networking tool at that point. It's...
