No. Mostly because I got sick for real when I started working (200+ people in an 'open office', air conditioning etc) and my boss said that I'll have to watch it if I want to keep my job. So since then I've been going to work even when I was ill. Right now I'm on a week-off cause the doc said...

That a full-time job means having more cash and no school means having more time to spend it. Oooooh boy.

"Directed by Kenneth Branagh"? Huge surprise for me, I didn't think that's his kind of movie. If I get the chance I'm gonna see it - for the special effects. I'm kind of a CG freak.

Agreed, but there is no subculture related to mainstream music/tv/cinema, th causal experience of these mediums, wile there is in gaming And that is something I'd print on my t-shirt were I inclined to print quotes on my t-shirts.

As far as I see it game enthusiasts try to create a separate sub-culture of gaming (or, possibly, someone who wants to profit creates it for them). Still, does gaming, as a medium, need to have a separate group of receivers of the medium? A sub-culture, or any other group of people who...

That. And maybe work on your consonant pronunciation. You gotta be unnaturally precise with those lil buggers. Still, this comes from a smartass who attended one public speaking course. A long time ago. Apart form that it's great. Especially the footage in the forest. Nice to see you...

I'd prosecute 1 and 3. The 2nd example is tricky. I assume killing the man is the one and only way to get the drug (though I can't imagine why). I also understand that the person is aware of the situation and is intentionally refusing to hand over the cure for no apparent reason (he wants to...

A British factory hireing Polish speaking workers is absurd. The fact that a lot of jobs in Poland (white collar jobs, that is) require you to speak English fluently is a sign of our times as English is the lingua franca. Making you speak a foreign language when you're a manual worker in your...

When I grow up I wanna be an AWESTRONAUT. Like an ASTRONAUT only more AWESOME. Heey, good choice! Keep it up! Get a good job! Then get fired over an unfortunate incident involving you, your employer's daughter and a malfunctioning watercooler so that they can hire me instead...

Uhm. You tell me. I'm having problems defining what is sci-fi nowadays, distinguishing between its states of squishyness is too much to ask. I enjoy Firefly and Doctor Who, not into Stargate, Galactica or ST. I like Blade Runner, District 9, Eden Log, Stalker, A Scanner Darkly. I used to...

That one balloon you have in your inventory through the whole of Monkey Island 3. And all those rubbish "distracting items" in the Kyrandia series.

The importance of getting laid is a shallow social construct and a cultural by-product of our times. And it's stupid. People who go all "omg ur still a virgin" are, emotionally, somewhere around 14. Don't treat such comments seriously. I suspect your dad proposed his option only to make you stop...

You might be bilingual. Or trilingual.

Spanish, widely spoken, could be useful. Note: I still get to keep English cause it's not my native tongue.

I'm happy to be the first arogant ass to type this: I. REGRET. NOTHING.
