Chuck Testa...swear to god.

There's being good...and then there's having a complete lack of sportsmanship and class. At the point when it became apparent that the one team was going to lose, they should have called the game or the other coach should have told his team to take it easy. They had already won, so it's not like...

I for one, love the hell out of New Vegas. I've put way more hours into that than Fallout 3 (which, granted, is nowhere near as much as a lot of people). I feel like NV just..."clicked" better for me. I actually cared about the characters and story, rather than just seeing the main quests as a...

The way I see it, there's a certain hierarchy to the response to a tragedy, at least here in the US. The severity of the catastrophe is part of it, as is where in the world it happened, and whether it was of human doing or an "act of god", as it were. 9/11 resulted in a fairly severe loss of...

While I'm sure lack of maturity blah blah blah IS partially responsible for the trend of higher likeliness of accidents among the 16-20 crowd, I feel like a big part of that is also a result of those being the ages when many people here in the U.S. start driving. Driving's like anything else...

Liking the Jack the Ripper idea, but maybe with the Templars planting agents within the ranks of the otherwise Assassin-allied prostitutes, with the protagonist having to weed them out to prevent some kind of schism. I think that would give it an interesting twist. Also pretty much anything...

Why thank you. I might look into one of those story-posting sites that have been shown here, and if I get that far and remember this thread, I'll post a link.

I wrote a story about this ex-soldier who, through an unfortunate turn of events, is sent by the CIA to do a sort of "ride-along" with an assassin working with the Russian government. Basically, he's sent to go with this assassin to kill three targets that both the U.S. and Russian governments...

Gotta side with the OP, pumpkin is the greatest. In fact, I'm getting some for dessert tonight 'cause I leave for college tomorrow.

Gordon Freeman, after killing his 500th well-trained soldier: "...Pussies."

Agreed. I saw it for the first time a few days ago on TV, and then I saw The American last night, and I wish I had just watched In Bruges again.

This needs to be put as a banner across the homepage or something

I find it odd that people want to go back in time and prevent major tragedies like the Holocaust when doing so would almost certainly cause all of us to cease to exist. I mean, something like the Holocaust had such a major impact on the entire world, even through the smallest day-to-day...

UCLA all the way bay-bay. Sorry for that =P

I want to see something where the "bad guy" does something absolutely horrible in order to create a much better society (in the vein of Adrian Veidt), and the story focuses on the aftermath. In essence, the "heroes" who were fighting the villain before the tragedy are defeated but not killed...
