Dude, I got the same free Dragon Warrior NES game from Nintendo Power. It was only like the second or third game I had on NES, and we were pretty poor, so I played the hell out of that game.

Music composition major—> knocked up girlfriend—> dropped out—> raised two kids by myself—> ten years of office jockeying—> back in school for math/actuarial science. According to my college, 75% of my fellow actuarial majors are working in the industry within 6 months of graduating. So I have that to look forward to.

I'm working on a degree in actuarial science, so I am decidedly not a scientist.

Fuck science, I approve of any tv show that sends a water heater shooting several hundred feet into the air.

I have no judgment for people who like this stuff, but I decided recently that torture-related horror is not my bag. I really like scary movies like, say, the Orphanage, that tell a god story and scare you a bit while doing it, but putting myself through something that's just designed to make me squirm and be…

Sometimes I like to mix things up and go with a little Cambria.

I think this is kind of like how I thought Black Swan was going to be a huge movie, playing everywhere, only to find out it wasn't playing anywhere within 500 miles of my town last weekend. I could have sworn I saw a million commercials for it, but really I just saw the same one a million times on the avclub.

Mario Sunshine was good, until that one level where you had to clean off the beach that was completely impossible. Honestly, I don't get why Super Mario Galaxy is supposed to be "amazing". It was quite fun, but I think I had about the same amount of fun playing Sunshine.

I saw the last one on the last date of a dying relationship at a theater/bar/restaurant. I didn't even get laid one last time, and I spent like 90 bucks on food and Guinness.

I still say watching them all in order is the way to go. I saw Pi not long after it came out on video, and it was interesting enough for me to make a mental note to watch for Aranofsky's films in the future, and this was before I went through my film geek phase.

Actually, I was just thinking he looks a lot like Elijah Wood, only expanded a bit. The eyes and mouth are similar, like they could be brothers.

Seriously, no one is going to mention the use of the phrase "JK Lolling" in the parent post?

It takes me about 3 weeks of shitty office work to make $1500, this guy did it by drawing some cats. I'd say he came out ahead.

My family is mostly comprised of men of mild bigotry, and my experience is that they don't think that the liberal side is being portrayed as tools, they just come away from it as thinking that those characters are actually the way liberal people are.

857 cats = $2571. Guy just made some bank. How fast can you draw cats?

I always wonder why no one on any of these shows ever takes ten seconds to google lie-detectors to find out that they are complete bullshit.

No, those "stare-at-the-camera-and-speak-your-mind" programs are just mimicking the state of conversation in america in general. The only thing we know how to do is bleat our uninformed opinions at each other and pause for the other guy while not paying any attention to them.

Picture
Is that guy wearing a half-assed Kratos halloween costume?

Doesn't Black Ops have that Xbox ranking thing so that you're only thrown in matches with people of relatively even skill?

Conan's talk shows have always milked every topic, too. If he's getting a laugh out of something he'll do jokes about it for 2 or 3 weeks, no matter what that topic is. Late night talk shows don't move at the same pace as Internet.
