"It's not fair! I had time now!" "Oh hey, look, it hit the moon. Overzealous pricks." "Don't Panic" (alternatively, "at least I've got my towel")

This ruined the entire concept of the Angels to me. The weirdest/creepiest part of the Angels when we were first introduced to them was that, even when people turned away from them, they remained as stone while they were on screen. It gave the audience a sense of immersion, as if as long as WE...

By "lie," I don't mean to suggest you yourself are intentionally misleading the rest of us, but perhaps just unaware of what the pricing was back then. Way Back Machine be damned, I know I never spent more than $50 USD + sales tax for a new PC game (or a console game before my 360). I wish I...

Whoa whoa whoa, am I the only person here who got caught up on the "$60 here in the US, like Warcraft III and Diablo II" lie? I bought both games on release day, and they were $50 each. $60 is the price we have to pay for 360/PS3 titles - and originally, MS had promised that MS-published games...

Oh, and last-ditch desperate food source: I have 2 cats and all the various food they eat.

I'm in a 2-story with a mid-level front entrance, and we have a TON of construction materials in the basement because we've been remodeling since we bought it. Some wood over the window in the front door, and some 2x4s to blockade the door. Has a dead-bolt, so I should be fine there. Basement...

I never read the "proper care" portion, but I have taken very good care of making sure it's been well-ventilated. My 360 has frozen a few times since I got it, but never really died. And for the record, mine was one of the Every10Minutes.com launch lottery/sweepstakes consoles, so it was one...

I'm torn between the door sound in the original Doom and the door sound in the original Resident Evil. Both made me gnash my teeth. :shudder:

Thanks for the good clarification there, GyroCaptain. Still, I'm surprised that concern was raised in Australia before I ever even heard of this bill. I live in the midwest; agriculture is everything out here, so it's amazing that the various lobbyists and panic groups haven't been...

I find it amusing that an ignorant GameStop customer has got everyone on an anti-GS rant. The games were $5 and 18 when they were bought a little over a year ago? It's a wonder they paid you for them at all. Game resale value depreciates FAST, because demand drops quickly and supply...

I enjoyed the land-sharking glitches in MoH:AA on multiple occasions. My squad would look for every landshark access point we could find, and then we'd customize the map to have map-border "landmines" in those areas. It was fun to watch people blow themselves to little bits trying to exploit...

I really hope this doesn't end up hurting Stardock. They're a great group of folks over there, and I always try to show my appreciation of their (a) hard work and (b) support of our community whenever I can. Stardock is one of those very few companies that I won't even hesitate to hand money to.

Oh god, tell me about it. I live in Kansas, the epicenter of all things misogynistic, racist, or otherwise ignorantly biased. Woo Midwest. :(

Typos, be it accidental or of an ignorant nature, pisses me off to no end. Im/I'm, then/than, they're/their/there, your/you're, its/it's... ugh. Too much of that going around. I agree with s3cur1tr0n, even though he had some himself. ;)

I just noticed, though, that I have 2 badges in my profile, but none showing next to my posts. Oh well. I guess I need to protest now, too? [edit] Sneak copter, you have the badge. Check your profile. Its next to Trinity, for not incurring the moderator's wrath.
