Well that death just taught you to watch where you were going, and/or light torches ;p It's not like the game is a side-scroller like Sonic where you literally _can't_ see certain areas. It specifically has a light/dark mechanic that you the player can control, so "obscured by darkness" was up to you.

I know it's been said so often that it's a cliche now, but I think that's because the Souls games are hard, but fair. It doesn't feel cheap or ridiculous when you die. You know you could have dodged that blow better/found a better position/should have had your shield up going around that corner what were you…

People never wasted time on frivolous shit before the internet?

It was the opposite for me, but I know I'm probably the odd woman out. I was a fat kid, but as soon as I hit puberty (around 12-13 or so) I grew six inches in two years and lost it all. The difference between being relentlessly teased about my body to, well, being teased but not so relentlessly and not about my body…

Sure, but kid Sarah was pissed off that she was never actually called by her own first name. Heck, some of my old classmate Sarahs still go by their middle name to this day. Might as well've just called them that in the first place.

Nah, Olivia, Ava, and Sophie are the Jennifer and Tiffany of my generation - there'll only be two or three other girls in every class with that name, not five ;)

It's been the most popular girl's name in the US and Canada for over a decade too (thanks, Friends). And yet, almost every couple I know planning to name their daughter that thinks it's cute and original. Congratulations, you're dooming her to be the Sarah/Sara/Sera of her generation. Remember how thrilled the five…

I have... thoughts about this, from the perspective of a white woman who is definitely attracted to Asian men and has dated them in the past and knows many other non-Asian women who are and have, as well. I've also lived in Japan for years.

I went on Accutane because it was literally the only thing that worked for my (enormous, full body, scarring) acne. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. My brothers did it too. It was, however, six months of itchy, flaking, dehydrated hell and I don't tell anyone otherwise.

Yep, same. I finally stopped giving a shit sometime in my mid-20s only to find that no one else cared, either. I got dates and went on dates and found my husband in no make up. I got jobs and promotions in no make up. I think this notion of "it's expected of me" and "I have to for (work/my love life)" is something…

Maybe not eat out every day of the year (unless you're talking McDonalds) but I have to wonder how bad some of the people in this thread are at handling money if they think you can't afford a nice condo in a big city on 100k/year. Mr Cat and I live in one of the most expensive cities in North America and together we…

If you read the article, it points out that this is because of training, not an inherent characteristic (Mythbusters also tried this out and demonstrated the same thing). If you're willing to teach your daughter to throw, it won't matter.

How do you justify the Chinese guy then?

Oh I don't know, if it really was mostly advertisements, I'd thank him, personally.

Gotta' sell something that'll sell, right. Nobody's shilling whitening creams to white people who live in the Pacific Northwest because after one winter I'd be as white as a sheet at the cost of zero dollars. It requires no effort, let alone money. What does cost effort and money up here, for my ethnicity? Tanning. I…

and increasingly men and children.

It isn't odd, it's amazing and awesome. I started even younger than that and I would have killed for a mother like you to make it feel normal.

I don't remember my first time, but I do remember the first time my mother caught me at it, at the age of 5... she flipped out and told me that it was "bad" and that I should "never do it again". Later at Sunday School we were told the same thing, and that "God was always watching us". Too bad for her, and them, it…

I'm just curious as to why the company figures that men will enjoy having their egos stroked by showing pretty young women holding the hands of men older than their fathers, but figures that in the reciprocal ad that women wouldn't be titillated by the inverse (when, given the sheer number of twilight moms salivating…

Why are the women in the women's commercial all 20-30, and some of the men in the men's old enough to be somebody's grandpa? o_O
