It seems like a lot of people on this thread hate literature :S (then again, I am the type of person who actually goes out of my way to read classics that have been deemed good) I pretty much loved everything I did back in English class, with the exception of Jane Austen's Emma. So...

It's too bad L4D2 didn't net any awards, but then again I'm very biased

You know what? That's exactly what my mum says to me every half a week. It's just what mums do, I guess. :\

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm just tired of it all. I've been trying to make friends for a mere 20 years and I'm still tired of it. I've decided at this point is if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I'll probably end up moving to the mountains and becoming a hermit, like Spider...

Believe me. I'm bubbly in company. I smile. I laugh. I make jokes. No one ever seems to respond. It is rather disheartening. I look at everyone else who are in their groups, having fun with their friends, and I'm immensely jealous. I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me.

Here's one of my reasons. It's because people stick together in their little cliques like its life or death, and it's very hard for newcomers to get inside. Also, I'm quite paranoid, always saying to myself "should I call/email/text this new person I talked to or will s/he think I'm weird...

What if there was lots of booze and gaming consoles! :P

Yes. A la in this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1uVi41I1oc, at 1:47

Broke my mouse once (a flimsy one though) playing TF2 while drunk, and slamming it on the desk. I also raged many times in MW2 which is why I only played it for a few hours before stopping

Feebas is one pokemon that is tricky to get (only appears in a few water tiles in the game)

Yeah, my headset gathers dust (unless I'm playing with a friend) because most guys are a bunch of douchebags online

L4D2 is worth every dollar in my opinion: - Better characterisation and script (where the original had little to none of that, really) - Better (and prettier) maps - The new SI make versus much more interesting - Gauntlet crescendos make versus much more interesting - Melee weapons are fun...

Methane is a problem, but you forgot to mention the absolutely titanic amount of water and soil expended to grow crops to raise the cows. And eating the vegetables would be a much more efficient way to feed the planet than feeding it to cows and eating the meat. There is also the problem of...
