  1. I've got a DS lite, but I keep expecting the games to be really really cheap, when in fact they are not, so I only have two games for it.

    The important thing here is that everyone should be treated the same as regards legal standing whether they are married or entered into a civil union, so that marriage doesn't net you more than anyone else. Marriage is a religious institution, if gays don't like being singled out and discriminated against by the Christian church, I'm sure there are more accommodating religions out there somewhere.
  3. In Oblivion my equipment would start disappearing randomly somewhere around lv 20, there were numerous quest bugs as well, although the main quest seems to have gone free.

    Why can't these people find something a little more worthwhile to do with their lives.
  5. coincidentally, i had wild rice last night for dinner. my wife brought home some dinners (i still haven't figured out the scoop on that) with wild rice in them. my favorite long-grained rice. tough call between wild rice and the shorter grained risotto stuff, which i also love. btw, have you actually ever quit smoking and if so, how much and for how long? the first 24 hours is, if anything, the easiest IMO. i guess your brain still hasn't figured out what's up. it's the next two weeks that are horrendous while your body withdraws from the nicotine, then the mental addiction takes a few months before the anxiety leaves. even after years of being off nicotine, people still report having desires when they smell someone smoking. terrible habit to get into. taks I must have quit and started again 10 or 20 times. I guess I'm slightly different in that I don't crave cigarette breaks like most smokers. I never smoke at work or at uni. Unless I'm hitting the town, or having a drink, or relaxing in front of the computer or tv, I don't feel the urge. Quitting actually hurts me more because my lungs start to realize what what I have been doing to them and they slowly start to expel the tar. The healing process is painful, you cough a lot and spit up brown loogies
  6. I don't understand people who like Mario and Sonic. I mean we were all kids once, this is true, but those games were never ever cool, not even with the power of benign retrospection.
  7. Quitting smoking is not hard, all you need is 24 hrs of cold turkey and the worst of the craving goes away. The trouble is finding something to do with your hands, they seem to be fidgeting for a smoke long after you have lost interest.
  8. i hate brown rice. it tastes... wrong. just about every other kind of rice is cool, just not the brown stuff. taks What you want is wild rice, the long stemmed kind, it's almost impossible to make that stuff taste bad. Brown rice brings back memories of growing up in a vegetarian hippie commune without a single set of working taste buds among them. Me and my dad used to sneak off to the hot dog stand.
  9. You are getting paid half a pound, wowsa, that's like, almost 5 bucks.
  10. how does outsourcing help employment.
  11. I wonder if it's phonetically based.
  12. And you can't have two prestige classes, either that or the rule is you can't have more than 3 total. I played SoZ with 3 dwarven cleric weapon masters and one Figther, thief, weaponmaster, It was only just possible because clerics are so starved for feats and skills.
  13. Vats had shorter range, you could pick em off as soon as you were able to see them with the scope. Also heavy weapons you were not proficient with still did a tolerable amount of damage as long as you didn't use vats.
  14. Is that the artificial river that runs across Seoul I watched a documentary on discovery channel about.
  15. 57.2% There were a lot of black and whites that are probably considered classics, but that you would never see unless they happened to be on tv.
  16. I could believe that one of the passenger jets was shot down and the action then covered up, for various reasons. I don't, but it's feasible. That the twin towers were destroyed by the military industrial complex is just retarded. Or maybe there is some interesting psychology behind the prevalence of these theories that is worth examining. The symbolic act of terror achieved on Sept. 11, that is to say the whole of the media spectacle and it's impact on American consciousness, as opposed to the disaster in the 'physical world', appears to have been so successful that a whole culture of denial has sprung up in it's wake. Maybe there is a point to be made here that the relates to the Kennedy assassination, when an act of political violence becomes so charged that one cannot separate the physical from the symbolic impact, a mass investigative movement initiates that does not stop until a psychologically acceptable answer has been found, and of course there may be no psychologically acceptable answer, in which case it does on for decades. As regards Sept. 11, one part of it obviously is the love of a good conspiracy, the other, that many (relatively of course) Amerians would rather believe that their own government caused the terrorism, than admit symbolic defeat to Al Kaida.
  17. The piece of **** should have been dropped as soon as he threw something, much less be able to throw 2 objects at the president. Way to be on top of it secret service. I think Bush is rather relieved his security were experienced enough to see the situation for what it was. 'dropped as soon as he threw something'.. .lols, you have been watching too many movies.
  18. If I were to change my name I could be a 'Tom', hard to pull off I know, but who wants to be a Jacob, or Michael, a mister everybody If I lived in Eastern Europe I would so be a 'Goran'. Asia, hmm.. Gichin Funakoshi, after Gichin Funakoshi Africa, Mobabe something.
  19. Remember that math whiz who could recite phi to the umpteenth digit, or was that a movie. In any case the reason it was so easy for him is that he saw numbers as having distinctive shapes, colours and even textures, to him he was merely describing a strange landscape.
  20. I dunno maybe being jaded and mistrustful is method acting, if they are not perpetually capping foul mouthed 13 year olds, the odds are they are trying to scam you somehow.
  21. Buffy had one good season, otherwise completely mediocre.
  22. You made a new account just to post in one thread. ...
  23. The thing is that everyone knows Jean-Luc Picard/Patrick Stewart is the ultimate captain, but people like to argue so some people pretend they like someone else better. Edward James Olmos as William Adama in BSG is an awesome captain aswell but he doesnt have the same charm and character as Picard. Yes, until that regrettable day that happens to all adults, when you have to admit to yourself that Star Trek simply doesn't rate. Until that day, Picard is the bestest captain.
  24. Anyone notice what tune Omar is whistling when he's stalking someone.
  25. Futurama somehow got really crappy, from really awesome no less.
