I still don't understand.

Shoot, we have to speak in iambic pentameter?

What would I have to do for you to tell me that I broke the rules? Edit: I'm not having fun yet.

And in an unexpected twist, the bullies were from another country.

The character who died annoyed me because he/she couldn't control his/her emotions and resolve the relationship problems he/she was having. I don't like those people, which may be a projection of my frustration at my own deficiencies.

I rented Dead Rising. I recommend at least a rental if you have the 360. It has its ups and downs, but there's nothing like mowing down hordes of zombies with a chainsaw in the middle of a mall.

I'll Occam's Razor you!

Yeah. I'm overreacting anyway. I don't hate Lord Acton, I just get annoyed by the quote, when people misquote it and use it smugly. I hate smugness in general.

It would've been better for everyone if Lord Acton had never said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." People fallaciously use this aphorism as if it were an axiom. I hate that so much. Especially when they quote it wrong, like, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." When quoted incorrectly like that, it makes it even more stupid, because power doesn't always corrupt. Acton was making an observation, and the only reason I don't hate him more is because he says "tends to" in between power and corrupt. How do we know this isn't post hoc reasoning? What if the person was corrupt before they received power? What if they sought power because of their corruption? What if the power allowed the previous corruption to manifest itself? People say the phrase frequently any time there is an argument about government or the like, and it annoys me so. They act smug, as if they are contributing to the conversation. I also feel like I have to address the fact that nobody can have absolute power anyway. So go on, world. Ignore me and use this stupid phrase as a poor placeholder for an observation a child could make. P.S. That's right, Lord Acton said it. Not Voltaire, as I've heard someone say before. Seriously, as if you didn't make me mad enough by using the quote, you misquote it twice by attributing it to Voltaire and not using "tends to". But it's okay, we can still be friends. In fact, I'll quote Voltaire now, "A witty saying proves nothing," which is kind of hypocritical of me, but fitting given the context of stupidity.

Tool- Sober

?

You didn't?

Rodrigo y Gabriela- Orion (Metallica cover)

Good joke. The thread has turned out poor though.

Got Kilt?

True, but it may make the criminal think twice before trying anything.

Yeah, I'll be sad if that happens. I really don't want game developers to tout their emotion-making characters for the sake of it and them look really shallow. NPC: "What do you want?" PC: "Maybe we should go this way?" NPC: *Face furrows, foams at mouth, looks ugly in general* "NAOW!" PC: "Okay. I was just asking." NPC: *Face normal, as if nothing ever happened* "Is there something else?"

Comic relief?

Maybe a Mooninite lighted peg board?

Yeah, take a look at Traveller's Tales. They put up with Lego and Lucas Arts at the same time and come out with hits.

K2 wasn't that bad when I played it. I remember being just as addicted to it as I was with K1. Although, I concede that K1 was better in the end. I haven't played NWN2, so for all I know you are correct. I have recently played NWN1 OC, though, and I know that it sucked a lot. So Obsidian really must have screwed up if it is that bad.

Penpals- Tell Me Why I've been watching Berserk, and I like the theme song, even though it is plagued with atrocious grammar...
