    Is this racist, does my teacher have a right to punish me for this?

    actually "person of color" had somewhat recently returned as the preferred term for a few years. i dunno. it's all garbage. if you had put "pale skin" it would be more clearly not a race issue, but i doubt ol' teach would have had an issue if you had listed "nice tan" or "dark skin". the...

    Middle-Aged Gamer Assaults Teen Over Black Ops Beatdown

    I'm pretty shocked so many of you are appalled at the thought of a 13 year old playing an M-rated game. Seriously? man alive. When I was 13, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ESRB. I was allowed to play pretty much anything I would've wanted to, and watch most any movie I'd care to (with some thought...

    A conundrum to drum. No-one under 18.

    I'm fairly certain a criminal record is not a sexually transmitted disease. And wtf, who knows what it's even for. We sure don't. You're aware she may be trouble. Keep that in mind but don't let it cloud your judgement. Keep a clear head about things, and tap that shit rotten. If you...

    Middle-Aged Gamer Assaults Teen Over Black Ops Beatdown

    I find this absolutely hilarious. Kid deserved it for being dumb. Guy deserves some help and a slap on the wrists, yes, but really? Kid mouths off online to someone who knows where he lives. What did he think was going to happen. Actions have consequences. He'd never do that sort of thing...

    Bethesda Loses Again in Fallout Online Legal Battle

    TLDR; Bethesda is still crying themselves to sleep that they let the MMO rights for Fallout slip through their fingers, and is still trying their damnedest to stop it from happening so they can produce their own Fallout MMO. Nothing to see here, folks. Just a big crybaby bully.

    Porn Stars Start Topless Gaming Site

    Very simple and clear point. He's saying that their profession -- a choice they have made -- has left them devoid of dignity and self-respect. A jock bullying a nerd might say the exact same thing. Both are simply idiotic opinions with no basis aside from a personal judgement call. Both...

    Escape to the Movies: Straw Dogs

    Don't forget Mr. Bloomberg's assertion that the Times Square bomber was probably mad about the health care bill. Whoops. Better add "wrong" to "guilty of but never charged with heading an interstate gun trafficking ring" to the list of things Mr. Bloomberg can be called. So far as...

    Non-Americans: How do you view us?

    The greatest trick America ever pulled was convincing the world it was retarded. My (first) college had a large number of foreign students -- mostly from Turkey or Japan. The new ones were pretty amusing. They were pretty sure they had a good idea what America would be like -- and gosh...

    Can you recommend a good drink?

    No, you have a good reason to *keep your damn mouth shut*. Nobody cares. Really. Not a single one of us care about the problems you had in the past. You wanna talk about it? Make a thread. Or mention that people should always be aware that they may have or acquire in the future a...

    Syndicate Remake Revealed as a Shooter - UPDATED

    are they? are they really? lens flare? check grey and brown color scheme? check bloom, bloom everywhere? check fog, mist, dust clouds partially obscuring things? check "realistic" motion blur? check I have a hard time calling these screenshots good, let alone great. They're...

    Non-Americans: How do you view us?

    Now now.. calm down. Let me explain. They're allowed to do it, because their characterization of Americans is of an arrogant, overbearing dimwit who loves to loudly proclaim to everyone who can hear that he's better than them (and punch anyone who doesn't want to hear about it). It is, of...

    Face-Chomping "Vampire" Attacks Geriatric At Hooters

    Folks, this wasn't LSD. This wasn't meth. This wasn't cocaine. This was drugs, yes. I'd bet my hat on that. Only two options here, really. The first would be PCP. Unlikely, but possible. The other option? Bath salts. Dunno if that stuff is still legal down in Florida, but this is...

    All Your Base Are Belong to Mom

    Here's a thought. You're a grown-ass adult? Your girlfriend is a grown-ass adult? Maybe your parents should face up to the fact that grown-ass adults have sex. Really, not a big deal. Have sex at home. Turn on the TV or something. So long as you're not being obnoxiously loud, what the...

    Fake an Alien Invasion, Save the U.S. Economy

    You raise a very good point. Making proper adjustments, I present: The Leesha Plan! Step 1: Invent alien force! Step 2: *blow up everyone else's stuff and blame alien force!* Step 3: Profit!

    Bethesda Claims Interplay Wants to "Undermine" Fallout

    So, I liked Fallout 3. It wasn't the Fallout game I wanted, but it wasn't exactly a bad game. I enjoyed it, I still play it on occasion. The ending is pretty damn weak, though. While there's a lot of freedom in *things to do*, there's not much freedom in all in *choices to make*, which was...
