    So they are kicking me out of my job.

    While I've never been actually fired from a job, I did leave when I knew I was going to be. A couple years ago I worked as a general associate at a gas station which I won't name. My job was to keep things stocked, clean, bag ice when needed and fill propane tanks. The station was always busy...

    Poll: South Park... Ending?

    I'm a little torn. The episode that got me into the series, good times with ninja weapons is my all-time favorite and in my mind is the point where South Park peaked. Yeah, they had some good episodes, like Imaginationland where it went back to weird silliness, but this last season has been...

    Why the hype for Duke Nukem?

    Trolling? No. This would be pretty weak attempt at trolling. Most everyone I know are gamers, including the individual I mentioned earlier. But since he's a married man with a child, I guess I can't really expect everyone to want to step away from their computer and interact with things that are...

    Why the hype for Duke Nukem?

    Yeah, I get that. My point being, that at near 30 one would think people would be paying attention to real life rather than a game that a developer made the mistake of showing to near rabid fans who've had blue balls for 14 years. I say that because no 15-16 year old kids are likely going to be...

    Why the hype for Duke Nukem?

    Let me first state that I didn't own a copy of Duke Nukem when I was a kid. I haven't seen much of the series, since I only saw about two minutes of it as a friends place before getting bored and doing something else. I grew up with games much farther on the fringe, so I don't really understand...

    Is a higher standard a myth?

    I guess I must be one of the few people here who's a realist. While the practice of making new, innovative and awesome games is what we expect, it's just not going to happen with every singe release. In fact most games now have surprisingly poor quality. The big name releases like Halo, CoD, ME...

    Somebody explain horror to me

    I'm betting it has something to do with the adrenaline released when the fight or flight response kicks in. It's a rush to feel that you're fighting for survival without actually being in danger. For some people, they're drawn to it because they don't get the same kick out of your standard war...

    Would you prefer if games were blunt (Give up, you suck)

    GLaDOS does that regularly in the co-op of Portal 2. it made it that much more funny when my partner died for the tenth time and she told us she was keeping track.

    Your Favourite British Thing(s).

    Monty Python and the accents of the isles. I wish there were more girls over here with a non-american accent

    Girls and Guys

    The sexiest AND most attention grabbing is a girl in dirty military fatigues. There's nothing better than a girl who goes natural and gets her boots dirty. I guess the closest civilian equivalent would be backpacking/hiking gear or a casual outfit, like a t-shirt and jeans. And to all the female...

    Choose your firing squad

    Being the horrible, sadistic person I am, I'd pick my five closest friends and watch them squirm before they pull the trigger. That, and they're the only ones I trust to actually shoot well so I don't wind up getting hit in both knees and nads plus one free target.

    Things you feel like a jerk for lauging at but do anyway.

    *waits for the inevitable fallout from this thread* And so I can say I stuck to the topic, the worst thing I've ever laughed at was a waterboarding joke. And yes, I did feel horrible for it.

    Poll: Is it wrong to befriend someone that is attracted to you?

    The OP's story reminds me of one of the best quotes I've ever heard: "Strange how they always want to be friends after they rip your guts out." Yeah, in some cases it can work out. I've managed to do it after being used and spat out by a girl, so a lot of it depends on personal resilience...

    Poll: New Halo Game Leaked!!??

    That looks shopped. Even if it was an early prototype the HUD would look similar to the last few games, and the HUD in that pic looks like a pale imitation

    My Apple Gaming Troubles

    I got my macbook pro a year ago and it runs everything just fine. I think you have an old comp or maybe not enough RAM to make things smooth enough.
