that was fun, I enjoyed it.

@golguin: I'm weary of them already. I'd be wary of them if they weren't such an omnipresent threat.

the aliens are neat, but is there a story about why they look the way they do? I mean, in, say, the flood, they look like tumors because they're tumor squid diseases that take things over. Little shop of horrors aside. The covenant are austere religious zealots with ray guns, and then the brutes take over and they're…

this is tangentially related, but [gametrailers.com] pulled the fallout 3 trailers, because the ESRB told the publisher that they were too violent (despite being age gated). Then GT made their own trailers out of footage they had, and put that up (since esrb has no say in what a random fan site or media aggregator…

That's not a charity fund raiser, it's light from venus refracting off a weather balloon and illuminating swamp gas.

@taftsearlobe33: it's not useless, it symbolizes reuptake. If someone left for warhammer but listed another reason, you can't exactly credit warhammer for them leaving, but if they do credit it, then why would they lie? And if they resub, then all that matters is that they resubbed, it doesn't matter if they're still…

these people now own some of my money. I must reward their selection of animator.

Undecided is not the same as other, and eff whoever made that pie chart.

that have humidity controls on the suspension cables for that huge bridge. I think of this as being part of the same mindset.

Game postponed to get the 3d artist LAID. Like seriously, it's fine if you're pent up, but when you start bringing that frustration to work, we have to intervene.

@RashidaAcrisius: ... the guy who was in charge of violating the constitution at the behest of a the president for the sake of satisfaction and no other rational reason wrote a book claiming he was successful?

@RashidaAcrisius.@Repent: @skeeru_yu: : Right. In that case they're a criminal, and the laws of the country that captures them apply. For instance, the constitution of the united states, a document written by someone with more moral compass than any of YOU.

@deathbunny: upon further reflection... you *can* do all those things, but pretty please don't with cream on top.

Everything a torture victim says is garbled beyond use. The fact that this, of all the lies a person would tell to make the abuse stop is what bubbles to the surface is a testament to how utterly fucked we all are the next time someone with the will and the desire actually wants to hurt us.

@P-Flute: You can't ignore my premises and then act like I'm arguing without consideration for alternatives. I said that we can demand a standard of behavior—that you can punish someone for using violence in the wrong context. I said that violence does have a correct context, and I said that impulse control would…

Listen, the ant saved their money all year for this holiday release season, and the grasshopper frittered it away on whatever it is those things spend cash on, and when the summer came, the ant had all these games backlogged that he hadn't played yet, and the grasshopper was having sex with a lady.

@collusioned: thank you.

self reporting is self correcting. The idea is if someone submits a personal evaluation outside an environment where they're being judged, then their own tendency to lie will be just the overall human tendency to lie, and become extraneous.

Zombie nurses are a natural outgrowth of the inevitable victory of zombie society over nonzombie society, and the subsequent, immediate implementation of socialist medical programs, where *everyone* be they man, woman, child, rich, or poor... is entitled to get eaten.

The Scene: I a skeptic of the Silent Hill series sat down to play Silent Hill 4: the room, in a small room that I'd converted to a 'den' of sorts on my trusty Super Xbox (destroyer—A wings be damned). As the planet destroying but only occasionally disk-reading laser warmed up and I started through the painfully slow…
