Same here, I don't actually remember much of the movie at all, just brief images and the fact that I cried and cried. I also remember in 5th grade when I watched a cartoon of the original version of The Little Mermaid, desperately trying not to let the tears fall in front of my sisters until...

And I believe that, while historically exaggerated, there are general differences between the sexes attributable to things like hormonal differences that, while not greatly significant in itself, will over time result in significantly different outcomes from the same socialization inputs. In...

I don't believe in luck, but I believe that belief in luck affects outcomes in ways that could be mistaken as luck.

Its usage was extremely common among black students in Savannah, GA High Schools in the early to mid Nineties....its generally derogatory when used by anyone other than Southern whites, it could be either derogatory or a form of defiant cultural pride otherwise. 'Honky', on the other hand, I've...

I sometimes replay entire game series (several times) if I like them well enough. The last time was the Silent Hill series (this was more than the third time for many of those games), in anticipation of playing Downpour....which I subsequently dropped after a few hours (hugely disappointing...

Heh, I was just remembering that game! It wasn't enough to compete with playing outside yet, but it definitely made an impression.

I was born in the late seventies, and while I played a few video games before that (I even remember owning a stand-alone pac-man system), I didn't became a big fan until I played Nintendo at a friend's house in the mid 80's. I'm largely a retro gamer (and I STILL say 2D gameplay is usually...

Yeah, I couldn't finish it, either; I certainly didn't like that damn red/black space hole, but for me the biggest issue were the damn breakable weapons-having to constantly replace them was bad enough, but it also made exploration a chore by making me constantly pick up and put down crappy...

In common use, its generally a way of declaring allegiance to and/or promoting an irrational 'anti-heteronormative' mindset that is itself a gross overreaction to an equally irrational 'trans-gendered are immoral and should be kept miserable for my piece of mind' mindset.

Put me down as another Witcher 2 vote....if the one I experienced fairly recently was better than previous releases, I'd hate to have seen the original. I really wanted to like that game, but I never made it past the tutorial, and played Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning instead. Maybe one day I'll...

I deliberately forgot about Beyond the Beyond; it was once one of the few RPG's available on the PlayStation, so I tried it out despite every magazine review either panning the game as terrible, or (at best) going on and on about its almost impressive level of consistent mediocrity.....I wished...

The first half is a brutally honest admission of technological ineptitude; the second half is half irony and half defiant Southern pride. Also, I just like the way it sounds.

Are you a decent driver? Try to get a job driving a shipping or delivery truck, I've heard its practically the perfect low-skill job for introverts or people with anxiety disorders (sadly, I'm a terrible driver, myself).

Wait, you're an undergrad two years away from graduation, and you're only 3 months behind learning to drive? Did you mean to say you're still in high school, or is the minimum driving age very high where you live? Anyway, I would recommend trying to find at least a part-time job before...

I wonder if there's a correlation between which option you explore first and whether your native language is written from left-to-right or right-to-left? I should make a joke, but now I'm actually curious....can't say I ever paid attention to which bathroom was which, though.
