Well, I guess I've sort of been working up to this lately; I think it's time I found my nutsack again and got the nerve to start taking on the controversial issues again; the ones ass-deep in politics, religion, all that good stuff. I've stayed away from them, mostly, in public debate. But I think it's about time I started bringing this shit up ( Read more... )

Well at this point I honestly don't know why I'm going to bother saying anything about this, but I guess it's my ceaseless optimism and vain hope that there's still a chance for humanity. Odds are I'm either going to get no intelligent responses to this or it's just going to get ignored, but, fuck it, I have to say SOMETHING or I'm going to go ape ( Read more... )

Okay, this may come off as rather ill-informed, since I admit right up front that I've not seen the movie Avatar, but that's because I feel that from everything I've seen from trailers, heard in a review from The Escapist and heard from others who have seen it, I really don't need to go see the movie to get the major gist of it. And what I've heard ( Read more... )

As a gamer, I've found myself for the last couple of years gravitating towards MMO games. I've tried a number, such as World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, Neocron, Fallen Earth, even a couple free ones like D&D online and Runes of Magic. As a result of my experience, I've noticed pros and cons about both types of games. So, first off, let's look ( Read more... )

So, I was doing some cleaning in my room just now and came across a copy of "Wired" magazine. I've been receiving a few complimentary copies of this; I don't know why, probably came with some game I bought or some online subscription I've got. In it was an article called "New Rules for Digital Gentlemen." This article was filled with little tips ( Read more... )

So, I've heard a new MMO is out, Fallen Earth. This one's got a post-apocalyptic setting to it, so it's somewhat original, at least as far as MMO's go.

If many folks I know are going to try it, I think I might too. So, is anyone planning on giving it a spin?

So, I've decided, since I've turned 25, to start experimenting a touch more and trying out some alcoholic drinks to see if I can find anything that suits my taste. My primary reason for doing this is because I'm not a total wuss and I'm not afraid to try new stuff, plus I think it would be a good thing to have an adult drink I can order in social ( Read more... )

Last year, a movie called "Milk", came out; a drama based on the life of Harvey Milk, the first openly homosexual man to hold a public office. He was a San Francisco supervisor who was an advocate for gay rights that, tragically, was killed by a disgruntled former supervisor, along with the mayor of San Francisco at the time. While I haven't seen ( Read more... )

A couple days ago I downloaded a new single player FPS off of Steam: NecrovisioN. Now believe it or not, despite the title, it's not a game mixing necrophilia with voyeurism (how the hell would they even pull that off? Maybe having you spy through a hole in the wall of a mortuary I guess...but enough of this disgusting train of thought). Instead, ( Read more... )

Well, in another week it'll be my birthday. On Aug. 11, I'll be 25, officially a quarter of a century old. A lot of people seem to treat this as a pretty big age; the impression I get is that this is supposed to be the age you're officially not a kid anymore. They certainly seem to think so in most of the music you hear these days, if I recall, and ( Read more... )
