your girlfriend sounds awesome, is she single?

When the opinion involves telling someone else what to do with their body? Yeah, that's a problem.

So you're saying that Twitch should have higher standards than what you can see in public. You want viewing video on twitch to be safer than viewing whats outside your front door? Dumbest thing i've heard all day.

When did this happen? when I was young it was always: "Damn, I wish girls played video games" Now that this strange concept is getting a modicum of media attention, there's literally a fucking war on women...WHAT THE FUCK GUYS, YOU'RE FUCKING IT UP!

The Catholic Church does not approve.

I never said I'm vehemently against them doing this, I just find it silly that's all.

Not so much fire as chemical burns and a slow smoldering caused by the oily rags he was buried in. A rushed funeral left too little time for the drying process, so he was interred while the some of the oils were still wet, and oily rags being oily rags, they eventually combusted.

Dragon Age is the present and Mass Effect is the past AND future!
