@Lex Luthor II: Have you ever been punched in the throat? It doesn't matter who does it, you're going down, hard.

@thekeith82:

That's actually a pretty clever ad. I like it! For all the fun you can have playing video games, you're not really rocking out with a plastic controller.

I can't believe I've actually seen this movie. I'm so ashamed.

@BiteKick: "The Stainless Steel Rat Returns" obviously. The first couple of chapters are free online!

I'm just glad someone still remembers the Stainless Steel Rat. And I guess there's a new book out... yay!

@The Man Roldan:

The RE movies are cheesy good times for the most part. I'm thinking that focusing on cool 3D effects instead of plot will actually improve the movie, because this sort of movie isn't about plot anyways.

@Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.:

@zegota: Empire was so heavy-handed that I threw it in the trash after maybe 15-20 pages. It read like one of those political emails that get forwarded to everyone by that one uncle nobody likes.

@RyaninCalgary: I didn't realize that "not using things without paying for them, when people expect to get paid for them" was some sort of exalted position that only a saint could hold. I used to even think that it was the default position.

The only real downside I see to this is in the pay-to-play aspect. Some people expect more from their money than an hour or two a day as a set maximum. I can see how that would be irritating.

The problem would also be solved if people would stop pirating... but I guess ethical behavior is too much to ask these days.

Anyone downloading pirated material deserves a new and uniquely vexing virus every time they make a new attempt to steal intellectual property from others... plus, I get to laugh at them! :)

If you read that stuff while staying in one place, you realize how terrible it is.

@ImprobableJoe:

Dragonball: Evolution

I've got a couple of pictures of this from my house... coolest thing ever!
