The truth of the matter is the Mayans never 'predicted' that the world would end in 2012. As the OP said, the Mayan calendar resets. I'm not sure of the specifics of the Mayan calendar, or how it differs from our own, but I took a course on it in college, and have no problem acting superior...

I have type 1 diabetes, no medical insurance (thanks a lot, college), and a low paying job (thanks a lot, Gamestop). The girl I'm in love with won't talk to me because of a lie told to her by one of my former friends, and that same person caused the majority of my friends to avoid and/or ignore...

Have you heard About the word? *Cthulhu slapped* Seriously, though, I've been addicted to Street of Dreams by Rainbow. The Blackmore's Night version with Joe Turner is particularly awesome.

A double edged sword for either opinion. If you say there is an afterlife, that human consciousness lives on after the body, you would need to prove your statement by dying, returning to life, and telling us. If you say there is NO afterlife, and thus, human consciousness dies with the...

To OP Gotta admit, when I read that opening statement, I thought it was going to be an idiotic ramble (spelling, of course). But I do agree with you. In fact, a few months ago I wrote a short story on the subject. So in short, there are people that feel the same, and we are attempting to...

Lincoln. If memory serves, he ran with a member of the opposing party as his vice. He knew the system required the input of the opposing forces to run smoothly. Either that or it was a bid to get votes from both major political parties. If only modern presidents (and people in general)...

I remember a few years back, when they rereleased the Dragonquest and Final Fantasy games, you know, the ones where they told you NOTHING about where to go and what to do. Que the people complaining about how hard the game was because it didn't hold your hand. Humorously enough, this was after...

Things like that are why I rarely play games online. Typically, the companies in charge of the game are trying to do something about it, banning cheaters and hackers, but they can only do it so quickly. But on another note : Aren't video games supposed to be fun? Are achievements and...

I just don't answer them, much like everyone else, I suppose. If I don't already know you, I am not talking to you via the internet.

I sold a lot of games that I miss now. So much so that I am now trying to determine what happened to my OLDER (SNES) games. My house is a mess right now.

do I know you or something?

Three blondes are walking in the woods (yes, a blonde joke). Along the way, they see a set of tracks on the ground. One says "Those are deer tracks." "No," another retorts, "those are bear tracks." "You're both wrong," the third replies triumphantly. "Those are tire tracks." They...

I honestly think the term 'hardcore gamer' has lost its value. I've always considered a hardcore gamer to be one who plays a variety of games, but now it seems the term is used only for people who play first person shooters. During the last console generation, a game was released called...

Basic answer. We can prove that we exist. "I think therefore I am." However, there is a problem with this. How do I prove to you that I think? I could just be voicing opinions you yourself hold deep within your subconscious. Back-up question: How do you prove to me that you think...

I have a hatred for most western RPGs (in stark contrast to most posters here). I find that JRPGs have (for the most part) far more interesting stories and characters, though sacrificing the ability to free roam, while western RPGs which sacrifice story and character development for the...
