The Thread of Uncomfortable Truths

[kikon9]

If certain things happened, I could become a killer. And enjoy it.

I'm sorry to say that's true for me too.

Let it be known: One day, when you least expect it, George Takei will have sex with you.

I laughed my ass off.

Every year on average you swallow about 3 spiders in your sleep.

This has been proven as bullshit... goddamn rumours.

I agree with Zyst on this one.

 

[Krythe]

Spoiler: This will never happen to you.

Deep down, at the very core of my soul...I know I could be the bad guy.

I don't think I'd be alone in saying I'd pay to see that for a day. The sheer size of the juxtaposition would be enough to tear a hole in space-time.

I took this in another way. Looking at your own life and the complex web of interaction and effect on the people you meet, are you the villain in the trite little melodrama you call your life? After all, Al Caponemay have been a criminal who helped create the Mob as it exists today, but he also tried to help the community through charity. Adolf Hitler was responsible for great atrocities during the war, but he also helped an impoverished and unjustly punished Germany rise to its feet and become apowerful player on the world stage once more.

True, of course, is that you likely will never greatly affect anyone or anything outside your sphere, but the idea still applies. You could be thebad guy and never even know.

I like to wet myself.

Me too. I think it feels about as comforting as taking a really good poop.

Just to clarify, I don't like pooping myself(unless its Fable, where its very funny) but nice to know I am not the only one on the Escapist with that fetish.

You're not the only one with a great idea for a video game/movie/TV Series/book that will one day become incredibly famous and get amazing reviews and have armies of fanboys etc. almost everyone else is thinking the same thing and chances are your idea has already been done.

...

thanks for that, and I was aspiring to be a manga artist.

Now, I will die.

Trust me this forum brought that same crushing realization on me, everytime I posted a game idea someone would always quote me saying "Oh I saw something like that in Game X" its annoying but unfortunately true. There seems to be only a set number of scenarios that the human mind can come up with.

Here's an uncomfortable truth:

The greatest allies we have in our fight to keep gaming protected by the First Amendment are Bobby Kotick, John Riccitiello, and the rest of the game CEOs we constantly yell at over DRM, lack of innovation, and everything that's wrong with gaming.

They are our BEST ALLIES.

If you really fear nothing, you're crazier than a shithouse mouse. Fear is what keeps you alive.

Then again, I live in a constant state of fear and anxiety.

 

[wellhereiam]

Everything you do no matter how amazing, life affirming, legendarily intelligent, or life changing will eventually become meaningless and be forgotten. You'll die and the people who remembered you will die and the entire human race will die and our planet will die, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

How's that for an uncomfortable truth.

Every year on average you swallow about 3 spiders in your sleep.

So if you have ever woken up one morning and your tongue had a funny taste/texture for that whole day, you know you got a particularly juicy one the night before. Just be glad it wasn't carrying eggs.

 

[nofear220]

Beautiful women in fact, do poo.

Really?

 

[havass]

You'll never be younger than you are right at this moment.

 

[PissOffRoth]

The best thing for this planet would be a World War that claimed the lives of over 70% of the planet's population.

 

[deathandtaxes]

No matter how much you believe your god is no more likely than the average purple unicorn.

Most people are to some extent bisexual, very few people are completely straight or completely gay.

Nature abhores a vacume.

Friendly fire isn't.

 

[Jettling]

Nudity is going to be illegal for a few hundred more years D=

 

[Krythe]

There is no such thing as "friendzone". For anyone. Regardless of how long you've known each other.

"I like you as a friend"/"Don't feel that way about you" is the sugar-coated version of "You're ugly; get away from me."

You rationalize this by saying "I won't go with someone who's only with me for my looks."
But guess what? That girl you kinda like and sometimes fantasize about asking out? She's pretty, isn't she? Prettier than you.

And odds are good that she'll give you the above response in the unlikely event that you actually do work up the courage to give voice to your thoughts.

Bethesda is working on a secret project that most likely won't be a new Elder Scrolls game...

 

[Ham_authority95]

most will never choose to participate in the political system.

I think its good that most don't participate in the political system.

If everyone did, we would be fucked because the majority of the world don't know, and will
never know shit about politics(Myself and you are probably included.)

 

[rabidmidget]

Humans have probably killed off more species than we have discovered. (not sure about this one, but it seems believable)

That is literally impossible to prove and seems more like a thought, than a truth.

Portal is shit.

Again, they're uncomfortable truths

OT: No matter how high your post count is, chances are no one on this forum really cares about you that much.
