Personally speaking, I firmly believe that all drugs should be legal, and therefore government regulated in the same way that alcohol and tobacco are. I also believe that overall drug use would decrease if they were all illegal. Reason being, for a lot of people, the only reason they try drugs...

In addition to the ones mentioned, one of my favorite AIs is named Meridian, from a book trilogy by Michael McCloskey. He plays a starring role in Insidious, and is a secondary character in Industrious and Ingenious. That trilogy is the same story, told from 3 different points of view.

Kethani, by Eric Brown, is one of my favorite books, but it's definitely not for everyone. It will leave you feeling very depressed by the end of it. Just to give the briefest of overviews, it's about a race of aliens that come to Earth and offer mankind the dubious gift of immortality. I...

By midnight I probably would have been asleep for several hours and I wouldn't even notice the loss of power until I woke up and noticed my alarm clock was blinking at me.

Once a day, right when I come home from work, since I'm usually covered in scuzz from working on cars for 10 to 14 hours. My wife won't let me do anything until after I take a shower so I don't transfer the scuzz from my body onto the furniture and/or the cats.

I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian. Cow, very tasty. Pig, also very tasty. Deer, much tastier than cow and pig combined. Bear, almost as tasty as cow, just a little gamey. Alligator, kinda dry, but edible I guess. Kangaroo, not bad, not quite as good a bear...

Weapons and tools can be both. As far as less than lethal weapons are concerned, given the choice, and having experienced both, I'd rather have a taser used on me than OC spray. The taser I found was easier to shrug off once the guy holding it stopped squeezing the trigger. Don't get the...

Let it crash, let it succeed until the end of time. Makes no real difference to me, since I don't make enough money to have any disposable income to buy games outside of the bargain bin anyway. I think the last game I bought was Portal 2 for the PC, since it was on sale for $20.

"Where can we put this bomb where it won't hurt anyone we know or care about?" "Out the window Sam, there's nothing but strangers out there." San and Max hit the road

In the last two weeks I've read: Clive Cussler & Grant Blackwood: Spartan Gold and The Lost Empire Neal Asher: Shadow of the Scorpion, The Voyage of the Sable Keech and The Line of Polity. Currently reading Orbus Chris Wooding: Retribution Falls and The Black Lung Captain Douglas Adams...

What little of it I've played it's not bad. My main complaints about it actually have nothing to do with the game itself, but rather with the TV that I'm forced to play it on. The TV I've got is 8 or 9 years old. It's not even an HDTV, which if memory serves were available when my TV was new...

If you're going to pursue a taken person, don't expect to make a lasting relationship with them. It will only end badly. Once a cheater, always a cheater is the rule, rather than the exception. If you're going for the "hit it and quit it" type relationship, then that's all well and good, if...

Fable 3. It's the newest game I own.

I seem to remember reading something somewhere about a judge ruling that "drunken consent is still consent, therefore having drunken intercourse does not constitute rape". It's possible that my mind is imagining that though, wouldn't be the first time my memory has lied to me.

1967 Mercury Cougar: Project car given to me on my 15th birthday. Never got repaired and never saw and street duty. 1984 Ford LTD: First car I got to drive on the street. Totaled it 5 months after I started driving it. 1984 Ford Crown Victoria: Drove it for 2 and a half years, sold it...
