Quote from the homeless dude outside my work today:

@XavierHarkonnen: That's not always true and is a complete blanket statement. A good friend of mine could be considered an achievement whore. But his console is never even signed into XBL, and he doesn't go around bragging about his score. The only reason any of us knew about it was cause we went over to his place…

@meowcat: Are people attracted to disaster due to some strange human condition that makes them curious in the face of others' misfortune? Absolutely, I won't argue that point. But the fact that so many different people, companies, countries and organizations are coming together to help and provide what little…

@deanbmmv: But wait...then they sold their souls to the devil to get the French out! If it's hell...then...the devil doesn't live in hell anymore! Yay, we win!

@meowcat: Well I'm sorry, the news networks must not have gotten the memo that we needed more information about Simon Cowell leaving American Idol and where Jay Leno is going to take his putrid show. I'll be sure to drop them a line and chastise them for providing information about one of the worst natural disasters…

@deanbmmv: My office is providing direct assistance and crisis management support to the US' efforts to help, and I can tell you that while it's simply impossible to know the toll right now, I would not be surprised if we're looking at around half a million. Yeah, it's that bad. Not only because the various…

@OrwellJames: Actually...the Protheans AREN'T anything like The Builders, a fact which would have been evident if you had actually played the game to its conclusion (and therefore by extension were qualified to pass judgment on the universe as a whole). Your argument is like someone watching the first half hour of…

@Skyman113: Victorian England called, they'd like their code of ethics back.

You know, every time these articles are posted, there's the avalanche of comments along the lines of "well if they don't like it, they can quit!" And while I understand where that sentiment comes from, it's completely ridiculous. Just because such conditions are common across the industry now doesn't mean that…

@bakagaijin: Ha well maybe your story will be mine further down the road. I got my undergrad at 24 and immediately entered the working world. Now I'm 27 and I want to get my Masters, but I have no idea what in yet and it's so hard to leave a good, well paying job and stability for such uncertainty. But eventually…

@bakagaijin: You're right it's never too late, but as time goes on it also gets harder to just up and move to another country. I love the life I have here now and wouldn't really want to trade it in. So my advice to you is if you've got the time and the opportunity to do it now, take it. Don't wait, cause you don't…

@bakagaijin: From what I've heard dude, the JET program is fantastic. I had every intention of doing it when I graduated college a few years ago, but life got in the way. I still think about it every now and then, and wonder if I made a mistake not doing it.

@Bialia: I'm not Canadian, but I'm well aware of Kids in the Hall...what is this NEW mini series of which you speak?! I always found Kids in the Hall to be hit-or-miss...but when it hit, it was a goddamn grand slam. I actually got to see them live in DC when I was in high school.

So here's a weird situation: I just started a new job last week. As such, I don't have any vacation time saved up. I work for a government contractor at a goverment-site...so what that basically means is my place of work is a government building and some of my co-workers (who do the same work as I) are government…

I'll agree that it's an awesome sweater, but for some reason he has the body posture of a dude who just shit his pants.

@Tanneseph: Kinda like the last time I had sex! HEY-O!

Ineed, the music is incredible. And the game is pretty decent too. But, as stated, $15 is way to expensive for this.

@i.roboto: A Mass Effect MMO would definitely be awesome if done right. But I doubt BioWare would want to release such a thing before the trilogy is completed, so you'd be looking at a 2013 release at the earliest. Still, it'd definitely be an awesome idea to put on the back burner.

Hooooooo boy, there's gonna be a bunch of angry and confused high school English/World Lit teachers.

@KamikazeSim: Well the original logic behind not doing KOTOR 2 was because the original BioWare team didn't like working within the confines of an established IP, especially one such as Star Wars. They wanted to have complete creative control over their work, which is admirable and something that simply would not be…
