As someone who's done selfies (both the kind that are drawn and the kind taken in a bathroom mirror) and taken art history, I <3 this thread so much. :)

He definitely needs more duckface. Or I'm told squinching helps. ;)

I totally agree. In a very real sense, I feel that 'selfies', however pejoratively that term is often used by those who seem to equate it or associate it with a societally-pervasive narcissism, is merely a modern form of the portrait of the artist as a (usually) young person.

Just because a young woman or girl didn't…

I can definitely appreciate your point of view, and I think I do take selfies (not so much now, but I did take some when I did feel relatively good about myself) as a form of self-validation. But I realize that I'm not female so I still get off pretty lightly in terms of societal expectation of how I should look,…

Sorry, I meant to say 'match', i.e. average length of a CoD match. ;)

This is the first time I am hearing that the 360 can use SkyDrive?! And all this time I've left my SkyDrive empty because I was using Dropbox and Google Drive...

Wow, I thought you could record more than that. I'm not sure how useful that would be for me, considering I record hours of gaming footage @720p (with the average game lasting about 10 min).

Hehe, yeah, I save my favourite player-kills from my MUDing days, even though it's all text. ;)

I care... at least with my own clips. I mean, we all need something to fap to. ;P

/Avermedia LGP is currently non-functioning, unfortunately

Yeah, I have a friend with OCD and it's really tough for him.

By comparison, I do have elements of OCPD, but it's pretty mild. I have met people with more extreme OCPD though, and it can be debilitating for them.

I agree, there is a huge problem with the public conflating and/or confusing OCPD with OCD, when they are very different disorders. Most people when referring to OCD, clearly mean to say OCPD.

Yeah, I don't really like the St. Patrick's Day celebrations either, as it tends to perpetuates some offensive and negative stereotypes about the Irish, such as alcoholism.

/wish there was a gluten-free Guinness though ;(

*sigh* Yeah, I still remember being put in ESL class when I was little because they thought I couldn't speak English. You know, as opposed to just being painfully shy. ;P They kind of wised up after I aced all my tests and put me back in regular classes. ;( All my Canadian friends used to come to me to check their…

I agree that camping is a valid tactic, and I don't hate on people for camping, unlike some people I've played with who will literally rage if the opposing team is camping, but yeah, it does get boring for me, both to be the camper or to be the one being camped. At least some people will camp tactically, and will…

Yeah, I think I'd prefer to do that, in a crowded, loud club... I feel bad yelling into a server's face, or worry that I'm spitting into their face or into their ear, and so I do my best to make my order clear by cupping my hand to my mouth and speaking clearly but not yelling my order.

Honestly, if I owned a bar/club,…

Meh, doesn't really work: I once gave a $10 tip on a less-than-$10 drink, and they even rang this bell they ring for good tippers, and the bartender who served me even called out to give me special treatment... but it didn't happen. It was a busy bar, busy night, and they quickly forgot who I was. I can't even…

Is Extinction good? I haven't tried it yet (or Zombies in BLOPs 2 for that matter) I'm not much of a co-op gamer, because I prefer playing against human opponents rather than having to work with them. I suppose that makes me a bad Lone Wolfer in Team Deathmatch, but I'm willing to ruin my k/d if it means I can…

I always thought it was a hidden gem... but then, I'm a Julianne Moore fan. ;)

Well, after Mr. Orth, I'm pretty sure Microsoft have banned anyone who is not a marketing spokesperson from commenting publicly on anything... which is probably a wise thing, at least where Microsoft is concerned. ;P

Not like frame rate matters on Ghosts when everyone's freakin' camping... me included. ;P

Run 'n' gun is no fun when there are people camping with thermal/target finding snipers at every conceivable bottleneck, spawn point and darkened corner... it feels like playing against clans on Halo: Reach all over again. ;P

And…
