Pop

I have a wasp phobia. I also have a mild fear of heights and a mild fear of wide open spaces, and when I'm high up in an open space (say, on top of a mountain) I freak out a bit. But those are little things. What I'm really afraid of is sleep paralysis. There was a TV show or a movie I saw a long time ago, I can't remember much about it except it featured a guy who goes into a coma and everybody thinks he's dead, but he's fully conscious but unable to communicate or move. That freaked me out. So when I experienced sleep paralysis, it really ****ed me up. It's a really rare occurence, though, and it doesn't last for more than a few seconds (they feel like minutes, though)

'nother NIN leak - Survivalism

Back and then gone. (Actually, they're going on a UK tour now, IIRC) And just to clarify, I was being kinda sarcastic earlier. Peter Gabriel > Phil Collins.

Playing Indigo Prophecy again. Fun, but I'm dreading the inevitable descent into nonsense. Good to get friends into, and relive your initial disappointment over and over. What's the status of that new Quantic Dream project, again?

When JFK was running for president, a lot of people thought he would lose because he was a catholic, and there was even some libel being thrown around that he would be the first president to ever swear allegiance to something other than the country he was running (in this case, the papacy) but the sky didn't fall when he got elected and the pope didn't run the government. I don't give much of a **** where somebody is on Sunday morning, or if they pray five times a day, or refuse to eat pork. I do give a **** if they bend the law such that such things were required of the populace. I would also give a **** if they bent the law such that such things were prohibited. In the modern nation-state the law is God, and the law's chosen people are those who obey it. So long as an elected official recognizes this, I cannot object to his holding office on the grounds of his religion. Furthermore, atheists are just as capable of bad judgement and horrendous wrongdoing as any other group. Atheist Russia under Stalin or China under Mao were just as terrible as any unified Christian or Muslim or Jewish state could be. I would not support an atheist candidate because of his atheism. I would support him on his policies.

Nine Inch Nails - My Violent Heart Mmmm intentional leak. Music's interesting, but ol' Trent will never, ever write good lyrics.

I believe one of the first mods released for NWN2 addressed that. Look it up in the Vault.

Does "global warming" imply cold weather to an expert? Warming in some places, cooling on other places. Makes sense if you've studied metereology or climate change in general, even cursorily, but at this point it's a shapeless menace to most people, if that. But they don't call it "global cooling".

Even if they were, the irony would be lost on most people as "global warming" doesn't imply cold weather to a layperson. That's why they don't call it "global warming" anymore, but use the term "climate change" instead.

Ah, so that's why I saw the ghost of Chris Avellone lurking about the boards the other day. btw admins, the new deathstar forum icon things are not an improvement.

Directed by this fine man I'm sure. Boll wants to, obviously, but Hideo Kojima has explicitly stated that Uwe Boll will never come within a mile of the project. That having been said, some of the names attached to the project even at this early stage are not encouraging. I think one of the producers is the big name behind Ghost Rider. Metal Gear Solid is a good game, but it'd make a **** movie. Unless it's an anime, in which case villains taking a breather before a fight to explain their traumatizing childhood and tragic, tragic losses would be normal or even desired.

Excerrent.

Hope you like purges! I know you do.

The Crackdown demo. BORING.

I had my money on Genesis. None o' that Peter Gabriel ****, neither. Pure Phil Collins magic.

As much quality lingerie as you can collect.

FFS, is "mines" some kind of joke?

That was the reason I went out and bought C&C The First Decade. It's just so much easier to have everything on that one disc instead of having to go hunting through your collection for that one disc you are missing. It's a good idea, but as I remember the C&C set suffered a bit due to the older games making a rocky transition to XP. I'm assuming that wouldn't be the case with BG.

Not if we have our senior citizens patrol the border. They're a vast national resource that we haven't put to use yet.

She has gonadal dysgenesis, meaning she has testes where her ovaries would be, but everything else down there is normal woman stuff. However, it makes her barren. That's why all of her kids are adopted. It's a genetic thing, much more common than the fabled simultaneous hermaphroditism, which is on the other end of the spectrum. They also tend to grow abnormally. It's speculated that an uncommon number of supermodels are genetic hermaphrodites.

The reqs are pretty steep. I haven't had the opportunity to try it out, but the impression I've gotten from the few people I know who've played the demo is one of disappointment. But that's to be expected, what with all the hype coming off of TA.

Jamie Lee Curtis can't have kids. Or was that the joke? :confused: But hey, I remember this part from Van Buren!

Mocking up a "Seven Deadly Sins" mix for another forum's mail exchange. Once it's mailed, I'll probably post it in its entirety here, but until then, other stuff. Boards of Canada - June 9th Andrew Bird - Scythian Empire Buck 65 - 50 Gallon Drum Boards of Canada - Audiotrack 11

It's fun to track all the Wiki-trolling. I wonder how many times a day they have to remove "murder" from the abortion page.
