The Guard. "We'll choke their rivers with our dead!" Plus I love the voices of the Kraskins and the Commissars -- Victory is Assured!

Fight Club. The book had the same themes but didn't hit on them as directly (or eloquently) as the movie.

Hey at least it's not the fish that holds up in your urethra. Seriously. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru

What's the reward for 100% completion? Is there some sort of extra plot twist that I get to see? Do I get to see Yuffie's tits or something? Unless there is some awesome pay-off, why the hell should I bother?

Oh they do that here in the US, too. But you also get taxes on property, stocks (aka capital gains), rebates for giving to charity, tax breaks as a student, etc. etc. meaning it's essential to sit down and calculate out just how much you've paid, how much you owe, and how much you may be...

This. Also, a report I read a few months ago mentioned how high the rates of PTSD and mental problems are among the Taliban. Doesn't matter which side you're on, fucked-up stuff will have an effect on you're mental health, period. Also, read "On Killing" by Lt.Col Dave Grossman for a...

There are. But it's not worth it compared to what you could get for a gaming desktop/DIY rig. If you want a laptop to take to class/be portable/etc. buy a cheap Dell. If you want a speed machine for gaming, get a desktop. Also, I'm assuming this is a 64-bit Windows 7 installation, no? I...

Well, if they're American girls, then they probably are. 2/3s of USAians qualify as overweight; almost a full 1/3 of those overweight ones qualify as obese. Assuming then that those statistics affect men and women equally -- that is, there is no gender skewing -- then yeah, most of them...

And this is a good thing? Now the Gears of War writing -- not exactly that great to begin with -- is going to be brought on par with the Expanded Universe tripe.

Calling people "brother" from the goofy scottish guy from Lost.

Pubs. Skinny Irish boys don't dance---something I've tried to explain to my last 3 girlfriends.

You'll live kiddo. Dust yourself off, get back on the horse, and in a few days/months/years you'll realize that this was, really, not that big a deal. "Everyone's gotta learn sometime."

Ya know, if I smoked the same amount of weed I used to smoke in college, I might be able to find it funny. But as a sober, sane, (mostly) rational person, I think it stinks.

I suspect that having your feelings hurt whilst being in the Army is one of the lesser injuries you can suffer, all things considered. Also remember that the drive to recruit from the Commonwealth countries is due to low recruiting numbers at home. I suspect that there was a political...

Indeed. You learned something about grammar. But I'm also a big dude from upstate NY, so the sentence (more-or-less) applies.
