Re: "almost as if BioWare wanted you to" - didn't Bioware give an interview about cutting gay romance out of DA:O? It was going to be in there up until they realized it was too many different-but-nearly identical dialogue trees.

I can has ADAM?

I have plenty of real-life friends that I haven't spoken to in years because our physical lives no longer intersect, and after an email change or what-have-you, I lost touch completely. The only reason I've lost touch with more online-friends than RL-friends is that it's much easier to "move" to a new online…

@Zelyre: Exactly! Cryptic is a shitty company, but all your usernames are tied together with the character@handle system. You ignore someone by their @handle, and they can't harass you from an alt - they're gone.

@AoE: Eh, Facebook doesn't make protecting your privacy easy or simple, but if you're patient and willing to sift through their maze of options, you can lock it down pretty tight.

@GeneralissimoFurioso: Exactly!

@DoctorWhorrible: Yeah, do you hand out business cards with your home name and address to everyone else in the movie theater, the grocery store, or to the crazy homeless guy outside the library who really wants to talk to you about how your hat reminds him of his third grade math teacher?

Didn't we already have this argument when Marvel released the Civil War series?

And through the empty vastness of space, a sound resonated: George Lucas muttering, 'Where's my check?'

Came for a reference to Six String Samurai. Leaving happy.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: FreeRealms isn't even really free anymore. It used to be "some jobs free, some jobs paid," but now it's "all jobs free to 5th level." I had all the jobs up to 15+ in the month I subscribed, and let the sub lapse 'cause I was fine with the free classes, but now I basically can't play at all unless I…

@AbKi: The rest of us have. I wish I still had the recipe for the mindbleach I used, but I may have used too much.

Physical CE content for a Molyneux game? I'll believe it when I see it. I'm still waiting for my Hobbe figurine, Sir Peter.

@FuuRe_cl: Uh, that's a scosh nihilistic. Take care of yourself, yes. No one wants to hitch themselves to a wagon that's on fire. Maintain yourself - physically, emotionally, financially. Be proud of yourself and your life.

@ChadCalhoun: And from the perspective of a person who's even particularly approachable or happy, even if you're not "great" you can still get laid without being a jerk. As I've said elsewhere: there's no such thing as too nice, there's no such thing as someone who hates compliments, and there's no rule against nice…

@YardanCabaret: To me, it means that one day, the excellent guest writer Leigh may end up at the bottom of a pit in Pete's garage, being told to rub the lotion on its skin. What I'm saying is: "nowhere near as bad as it sounds" is just make-believe. You have no idea how bad it actually is, because it wasn't you who…

@toto230: It's not nice to try to buy love or sex by being nice. It's not nice to fall in love with someone and never tell them. It's not nice to hate someone you "love" because they can't or won't be with you.

@slim934: Uh, well, I don't think anyone can speak collectively for all western women, but ... women have to deal with men trying to have sex with them from the moment they start puberty (and the unlucky ones even before that). The even slightly intelligent ones spot blatant manipulation really fast. You get stuck…

@slim934: See, I've run over my share of virtual prostitutes, but I've never done so because I was mad a real-life girl. How is that not creepy and psychotic to you?

@PuffyTail: Wait ... did he realize it's problematic? I mean ... I don't know Pete, but I've had plenty of friends like him, and one thing they had in common was a significant lack of self-awareness.
