Aw, you didn't write that as "Oooh... soar-ry."

That's like asking why films or books exist. Literary classics hinge on violence, like The Great Gatsby and Moby Dick.

Way back when I was working in a game store, I managed to bring at least one parent to her senses. She asked if Grand Theft Auto 2 was good for her 10 year old. Though the game is tame compared to later iterations, I informed her that the title was "Grand Theft Auto" and that you aren't playing as a cop. I pointed her…

Most music I buy is from bands that no longer exist.

Most times I just buy an album on eBay. It'll cost me $2-3 (incl. shipping) and I can rip it myself.

I feel that Fallon is closer to 30% crap (usually the musical guest) 50% good, 20% great. Conan is about 50% crap (most musical guests and some non-reoccurring sketches) 35% good, 15% great.

I'd rather use a Voodoo Doll and lots of pins.

My advice, based on experience: Travel light.

I have a tough time hearing, let alone concentrating on what people are saying. When I get in a crowded area, it's just like having earmuffs on. Everything just fuzzes out unless I stare at the person.

I'm in the same boat as you. I get 8 paid "National Holiday" days off, about 2 weeks of personal business/sick/vacation time and that's it.

Thought about doing it several times. The only thing that ties me to where I currently live is my wife's job. If she didn't have that, we would have moved a long time ago.

I have a sound generator called Easy Relax for iOS. It's a great program with customizable features, and I use it almost daily. It's been "gone" from the iOS App Store of ages now.

Graphics aside, which can be modded on PC, the game is overall a better story than GTAIV.

Good to know. GTA4 driving is difficult to get used to when San Andreas was so buttery. GTA4's driving felt cumbersome.

I am psyched for a new GTA, though for me nothing will revive the magic that was GTA:SA.

I think there is a similar NY law regarding motorcycles requiring a lantern to be affixed to a pole sticking out in front.

At least STO has something to do that's in-character. Home is just a costume party. Second Life... well, someone might break into your house, hide in your bathroom and assault you with a taser when you come home.

I messed around with it for about a month off and on around the time the Infamous area was available, then again when the Arkham City batcave area was live.
