Where are you from Nur? But it's all the US fault of course

Ack, that scared the crap out of me when I posted my message....wasn't expecting the horror!

I saw an ad sponsored by PETA that was trying to say that milk causes impotence. If that was the case, I shouldn't even be able to get an erection! I drank so much milk as a kid (and continue now, at the ripe age of 24), and I have no difficulties "rising to the occassion." I know Ender has concerns with them because of their second hand smoke episode, but I really enjoyed the episode of Bullsh!t that addressed PETA. It was particularly interesting to hear that in a corporate document, PETA recognizes that sometimes putting an animal to sleep is the only ethical treatment left for an animal....yet they have no problems smashing through the windows of a dude that's in charge of an animal shelter and terrorizing his family. I also find it interesting that the Vice President has a pig valve in her heart.

It looks so clean and purty. That's it, no more red meat for me!

Pirhana Bytes........Gothic right?

I certainly was NOT wondering that. Thanks for putting the idea in my head.

Oh noes, "most" of the "evil" people that "you've" met are "white." Therefore, most of the evil people must be American

Seems like the USA is quite the cesspool now doesn't it. It troubles me because I have images of Indy saying these things.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and they shock us with a huge content update, and that's why it took so long. And it also completely nullifies the work of the Restoration Project

Dammit, I too had to confirm such a claim!

Errr...."interesting"

I shook my head a little when the Islamic community began protesting that the badguys in the latest season of 24 were [supposedly] Islamic. Maybe I'm unique, but I don't watch a TV show and start hating/stereotyping muslims because there are some "bad" ones on television. Especially considering in season 1 the badguys were very white as the Red Herring, and Eastern European at the end, in season 2 they had Muslims (though no one seemed to care then) as the red herring, only to learn about a more nefarious plot by a third party. Meh...people get too worked up about small things IMO. But maybe I'm just an arrogant/ignorant white man.

Bioware and Obsidian come to mind. I guess Square-Enix as well, although they don't make the same type of RPGs. Would you count Bethesda? After that I'm starting to draw a blank.

Most times? What happens on those other occassions?

The good ol' days when it was ok to say "We'll have a gay old time" in cartoon theme songs.

Yeah I guess it is. I thought it was a dog at first. But still....wow! She does seem quite happy.

Hahahaha. I've always liked the work of ILM, ever since I learned about them while watching a making of Terminator 2

Wow...just wow.....although I hope nothing has happened to Fionovar

RIP Troika

Although I was impressed when I heard that Kashyyyk was 100% CG. But after thinking about it, I can see it. You don't have any faces or anything, which are usually the most obvious indicators of a scene being CG.

Agreed. I really like Arcanum, and its setting as definitely a neat idea. I loved the bitterness between those that cherished magic and those that preferred technology. And it's neat, because I've seen people say magic is overpowered, and I've seen people say technology is overpowered. Although I hated how the game made you specialize TOO much, but this is the case with every game. Why is it on the last act that absolutely no doors can be opened with only 5 skillpoints in lockpicking (for example).

You need 1600 posts to hit level 5. I know because I had it happen about 10 minutes ago

Heh, I *should* go to bed, but the few discussions I'm having are too interesting.

On the topic of aid, I was pleasantly surprised when Canada dropped the debt for the 10 poorest countries. U2 even rewarded us by releasing Walk On in Canada first

LOL! I still pirate the occassional song, but given that I would like to make video games as my career, I found it a bit hypocritical to pirate computer games. The only games I have pirated since late 1999 have been older games that I cannot find in a store.
