Not-entirely-related question:

And....this is why I never buy games on release day. In a month, this game will be running like butter. I'll pick it up then.

I think I read once that 80% of all Porsches ever made were still on the road.

That is a REALLY nice looking Volvo.

Oh, this phenomenon. I was thinking about the same thing. I work as a hospital Physician and only just recently, we started to get all these patients admitted with their “Service Animal”, but the dog is usually a diminutive trembling ball of barely-controlled rage, not socialized, not trained in any manner, growls and…

The most important thing to getting my kids to be good is to have expectations of what is normal and then having a routine.

Thank god it's self-driven. You could hide a school bus behind that A-pillar.

In Olaf's defense, he doesn't have saliva. That cake is fine.

Gawd I loved the STALKER series. For all the faults, no game immersed me so deeply as that one did. So tough when I first started out. It was really the first game that forced me to abandon run-and-gun and fire from a stationary position behind cover, using iron sites.

Fanta was what happened when the Coca Cola plants in Nazi Germany couldn't get the necessary ingredients to make Coke. Kind of fascinating history, actually.

Is it weird that, as an atheist, I know a LOT more about what the bible says (or particular religious tenets) than the people that have supposedly spent their whole lives studying it?

Are you limited to one or the other?

I too, have suffered a home invasion. I felt so stupid at the time for not having a means of defending myself, especially as a military veteran. The 35-40 minute police response time to the 911 call was also a point of education. I will never be caught in that situation again.

That is a seriously fucked up thing to say.

My mom used to run all over LA using a bus pass when she was 9 years old. Went to riding lessons, then the library, then the pool and park with friends, and home before dark.

Good.

I know I'm in the minority in really liking the film, perhaps because I wasn't a comics reader. After seeing the fantastic trailer, I went and picked up the graphic novel and absolutely lurved it.

Yeah, I'm with you. I don't own anything really nice, but I love a cool mechanical watch. No one else cares, but I love wearing a machine on my wrist that can keep time, date, the position of celestial bodies, all with a spring and some gears. It's just amazing.

I wish minecraft looked as pretty as the doctored renders.
