Agreed. I finally watched the first one because it was the one film out of the franchise that people would defend as “the best one in the series”. Those people apparently had VERY low expectations, because it was fucking stupid.

Geez. People love to bitch about Amiibos and their limited DLC, but at least with the Amiibos you knew exactly which one you’re getting when you buy it.

I had a guy pull this shit with me. Why do some guys think it’s “romantic” to confess their love to a woman who has just been rejected—AND when they have been giving the woman advice on said failed romance with another guy before the confession?? Life is not a rom-com! People do not work that way! UGH!!!1 It’s fucking…

Ahhhh...Loki. You have strange powers over me... |D

I thought this too, but I also thought the dialogue when she reveals this wasn’t very well written. They made a point of calling most of the Avengers “monsters” at some point, so this was supposed to be the rational behind Natasha’s “monster” status. But the way it was written, it made her sound like she was saying…

Oh crap. I don’t even play this game, and don’t plan to start, but I think I’m going to need to buy Darth Maul and Darth Vader. (Because when I was a teen and Episode I had just been released, I had this huge, bizarre, unexplainable crush on Darth Maul.)

I have no idea. It happened maybe 2 or 3 years ago, so there’s not much point in worrying about it now. Even if I’d told him I thought his copy was fake, he probably would have just denied it.

Ahhh. Some days the only way to make it through your shift is by crushing the dreams of some entitled little brat. |D

I have worked the game department of a Best Buy for a couple of years, and oh the stories I could tell.

Ah, the tribulations of being a woman in video game retail. I work in the gaming department at a Best Buy, and I once had an aspiring young PUA kiss my hand at the end of a conversation. The thing is, we had just been talking about video games and everything had been just fine up until the very end. Then then he stuck…

One of my male cousins is one. He’s more or less the black sheep of the family.

Yeah, because in clothing terms, petite just means short. It has nothing to do with weight. :\

I would also suggest "The Vision of Escaflowne", as it was one of the first anime I watched. It was certainly the first all-around *high quality* show I watched (since Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors had some really cheap animation and corny plots). It is a really good example of the best things a good anime has to…

Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" fantasy world would be a terrible place to live. Apart from the fact that the book series takes place juuuuuuuust before the end of the world (and finishes with it), it's really not that great a place to live. Sure, if you're a woman and you happen to be a magic-user, you think you'd…

I've been working on a pair of demon pin-ups. I'm actually pretty far along on coloring the male (that's an old screenshot) so I'm hoping to have him finished soon. Right now, though, I'm taking a break and am doodling another pin-up for funsies (it's a gender-swap version of one of my OCs) because I needed to take a…

I lived in Singapore during the 90’s, and I remember seeing the “Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles” playing on TV over there. They even changed the opening theme song to sing “hero” instead of “ninja”. It was weird.

I like "defenestration" because when you ask someone if they'd like to be defenestrated, most people have no clue what you're talking about.

Van-samaaaaa~~! 8D

These aren't my personal possessions, but my parents used to be antique collectors. They have quite a collection of antique glass, most of it dating back to the 1700s. They do have a few pieces of Roman glass, probably first few centuries AD (they were never wealthy enough to buy anything super old and rare). They're…

Amazingly, something similar happened to my dad a long time ago. He didn't suffer from kidney failure, but he did develop kidney stones after drinking a fuckton of iced tea. He was apparently doing a LOT of yard work, and iced tea has always been his beverage of choice.
