  1. I'm not going to look it up, as I'm on my phone, but I believe Bush is the third president to win despite losing the popular vote. Kennedy was another when he beat Nixon.
  2. If you vote for this guy, you are a douchebag.
  3. I'm pretty sure almost everyone has created something, so that really doesn't narrow it down by much.
  4. Heck, just the act of introducing your partner is awkward when you are gay. My former principal has been with his partner for 30+ years, but he can't just introduce him as his husband. I know GD and maybe some other folks have had bad experiences with marriage, but when they work, it can be wonderful. Gay couples aren't recognized by society in the same light as a man and a woman. I see that as extremely wrong. Obviously the government stepping in isn't going to magically change our society, but it is an important part of the process.
  5. Sanitarium was hands down my favorite horror game. Doesn't Max Payne have some messed up baby crawling on the ceiling or something? As for RPG's, I remember Ravenloft in the old D&D goldbox being pretty solid.
  6. I've gotta say, that is dead wrong. I know quite a few gay couples, in pretty much every stage of their lives and relationships, and it is a big deal to every one of them that they cannot tie the knot. It is a major part of a person's life, for better or worse, and it is very messed up that an entire group is not legally allowed to take part in it.
  7. Typical. Why would they seize the inventory? Seizing the profits from the sold inventory seems a lot better from a business standpoint.
  8. That sounds more like a short term backlash than an actual increase in racial intolerance. That is to be expected with any change, and if anything it drives the people who are on the fence about the issue into the tolerant camp.
  9. I really think you should play AP. I'm not saying you are going to love it, but I think you might be a bit surprised by it.
  10. I had a Fat Burger awhile back, that was a good burger.
  11. Hot Tub Time Machine - Pretty funny. I imagine it will only be enjoyable if you lived through the 80's. Kick-Ass - Extremely good. I would love to see a bit more of this universe, it was a great ride.
  12. Interesting take on things there, mkreku. As usual. I don't think anybody who posts in this thread hates FO3. But maybe we define hate differently. Oddly enough, I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and defend it frequently, but I've never bought any DLC. Of course, I really am not looking for a game to last me for a long stretch, I'm just happy if I can beat it in a month and move on.
  13. If you really want a fair popular vote over the matter, then only gay people should be allowed to vote on the issue, as it solely affects them. As for the Federal government stepping in being a sign of the apocalypse, that is just not going to happen. The Federal government has stepped in on much larger issues. I don't see how a Federal decision on marriage is larger than slavery, or segregation, or Jim Crow laws, or even Health Care. State versus Federal power has been disputed since the founding of our nation, and it will keep being disputed long after I am dead and buried.
  14. I'm soooo tired of the 3D craze. I can't watch movies in 3d without being uncomfortable, and my wife is the same way. I don't see why Hollywood really thinks this is a good idea.
  15. Can't go wrong with a naked top hat wearing ****ney guy who pimp-slaps random people on the street. Plus the pimp slap animation is epic. The storyline ain't half bad either. And the car customization is insane, I've got a whole stable of tricked out rides.
  16. If RDR is a lousy game, then I am a big fan of louses.
  17. Fascinating. But in a train wreck sort of way.
  18. Fat and stupid people get married all the time, the Lifetime Network has a reality show about it.
  19. I think I'm going to have to give up playing WoW due to my internet connection. It is just really crappy. Sometimes I get around 200 latency, but it shoots all over the place if anyone else in the house is even online. It's bad. LotR Online is bad too, about 150 latency, but it is more stable. WoW just drops out after awhile. I need to move.
  20. Arkham Asylum was brilliant, but why are we going to another prison? Wouldn't it be cooler to explore a section of Gotham City itself? Maybe the Wayne skyscraper or even his manor?
  21. Thanks man. It's all stress related we think. He's been out of a job for 6 months now, and we've moved into my grandfathers place (more for convenience than financial reasons) but he's still gotta worry about my college tuition and my sister's. Not to mention my mom death, which was probably where he started going down hill a little. That is a lot of stress. Is he getting regular checkups?
  22. I'm confused what you mean by the 70%. Prop 8 passed with 52% of the vote. While 7 million people voted for it, and I agree that is a huge number, there were also 6.4 million votes against it. That is a very large minority.
  23. I'm sure they've already got it written up.
  24. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100804/ap_on_..._marriage_trial Thank you Judge Walker, for protecting the individuals and minorities against the tyranny of the majority. I know we still have two more courts to go through, but this is a great start and I have a hard time believing the Supreme Court will side with religious groups over civil rights activists and fellow judges.
  25. I sense much anger in that thread. Wow seriously, that is hard to read. I've never actually looked at the Codex forums, very interesting dialogue up in there. Now I see a bit where Volourn's anger comes from though. Everyone here is fairly cordial to the guy, but he definitely gets beat up on there. Makes me feel even worse for the guy.
