    A casual dilemma between the customer and the marketing department

    I just read this on http://penny-arcade.com/2011/12/26 (look under "just wow") A customer asks Ocean marketing why his pre-ordered controller hasn't arrived yet, but the exchange of emails starts to turn sour as one of the individuals starts to troll a tad. Eventually Mike himself steps into...

    The memory that you would relive forever

    Hell, that reminds me of the time when I walked up a mountain and then walked straight back down. I was furious to have failed my driving exam for the second time, so I thought of proving to myself that I don't need a car to get around. It was an exhausting trip but in the end you had a...

    The memory that you would relive forever

    very touching, you have my condolences for your loss. My pleasure, though I'm pretty sure you must have at least one memory worth reliving. The best finds would be discovered in childhood memories, when you were young and naive :)

    The memory that you would relive forever

    Alright, first let me give a bit of context: Last night I watched "After Life", a Japanese movie by Hirokazu Kore-Eda. Not the greatest film I've watched, but it introduced an interesting idea about what happens when you died. You are given 3 days to think of the most meaningful/happiest...

    Why isn't a gun considered an elegant weapon?

    Depends also on the gun...in video games at least. Shotguns are just savage, and assault rifles are effective yet boring. Snipers on the other hand...while I am useless with them there is nothing more satisfying than the explosive sound of a fired shot. I loved playing the infiltrator in Mass...

    Games That Disappointed You...

    Brink was the only game that I regretted ever getting. It had a lot of promise....but there were too many flaws for me to bare.

    Dick Moves in Gaming

    Bad Company 2: They had the wonderful idea of forcing you to level up your character several items before giving you the class-features you ought to have in the first place.

    Your favorite songs from disney movies

    Interesting, this is actually one of the songs I liked the the least. The music was nice but the lines were too cheesy to my taste. The film itself was still very enjoyable. :) Yes! I was going to add that to my favs, but I thought of just keeping it to 3 suggestions. It's the hellfire...

    Your favorite songs from disney movies

    Well the last few threads I've participated in were rather dry and grim, so let's try to brighten each other's days. My favorite ones are: The Jungle Book- I want to be like you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEEPaYD5KZE The Princess and the frog- Friends on the other side...

    Meat eaters should have to kill for their food.

    You got me a bit confused there, are we talking about renewable energy or French culture? When I said nuclear energy I also meant nuclear weapons. And yes, nuclear energy is useful but it's not the solution to the energy problem. Quite simply, it's god-damn dangerous (Tchernobyl, Fukashima...

    Meat eaters should have to kill for their food.

    Don't know what film you are talking about, so I really can't comment. I will add though that while the videos on meat.org were quite insightful, their suggestions to stop eating meat, milk, eggs or fish are just borderline insane. At this stage why not just cut out the plants too, and feed...

    New TF2 update: Soldier goes sci-fi?

    A good sentry gun can hold off an entire team. An uber heavy destroying 4 senty guns? Impossible even if they were all level 1. Besides, you need to build the uber first, and even then you might die before it gets launched. Also, without dispensers or teleporters, the entire team will be as...

    Recommend me some music.

    If you are in the mood for some swing, try the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big bad voodoo daddy. Otherwise, I recommend Elbow, John Butler, Movits! and Brad sucks (despite the name, they don't suck)
