  1. 1978; Kraftwerk - The Robots. 1992; Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Too obvious? =p
  2. Haha, well you beat my ass with Blanka and I did have a slight edge by virtue of the fact that I fiended on SF3 for a long time. That was fun man, more matches soon!
  3. Your life stuns, literally. I've been sat here, staring at the same Microsoft Word document for a week. Work can eat a dick.
  4. Fun games with Dyson just now! Hopefully we can get a 360 game with a few N-E peeps going sometime soon.
  5. I'm waitin on yo ass brah. Also, I suck so go easy.
  6. Sure, see you online at 11:30?
  7. I'm up for a game or few tonight if you are
  8. Oh, I'm pretty much exclusively a shoto player, although I'll toy around with Guile or Makoto from time to time. As for RDR; I pretty much hate Rockstar games, so I don't understand that trend one bit.
  9. Why is nobody playing this anymore? =(
  10. I think a little nonchalance is a good thing. Not so sure about acceptance, but might be a bit better than open aggression. As for me, I'm content to sit here and chuckle, grimace and lament my membership to a species so full of inconsistencies. And then await the singularity to happen so I can look back and laugh, as a post-op robo-sexual. Is there no other news? Politico fever seems to have died down a little recently.
  11. I was joking dude, hence the "=p". But still, I feel that when every option is available, people refuse to think carefully about their choices. In fact, people make demonstrably poorer choices the more things they have to choose from. I just think that a little social judgement isn't misplaced. I respect the fact that you don't judge these people, it's an admirable trait. In fact, this shit is so thoroughly unimportant that I resent it taking up my fucking time. Check this shit out, it's way cool:
  12. Boundaries have been pushed since the beginning of recorded time. All good things have once been bad things and vice versa. What these fools are doing is retarded. Feel ok in admitting their unfettered stupidity. You don't have to pander to liberal ideals when you know in your soul that you would rather look at goatse than these fools =p.
  13. There's a difference between challenging cultural and social norms and throwing every conceivable fetish at the wall and seeing what sticks. Hell, I'm the first person to disregard any faux pas, but I haven't had a fucking frontal lobotomy so I still feel like I need to call into question what kind of imperative causes these fools to do what they do. Culture should evolve in a natural manner, rather than because of some childish need these people have to differentiate themselves in the most absurd ways from the crowd. What are they adding to culture? Sticking tinsel to your tail bone and wearing black lipstick just strikes me as a (Patrick Bateman-esque) fantasy, pretty much on par with the way people in the 50's used to dress up as Frodo, to break from the monotony of their pathetic lives. It would even be fine if these people had some sort of cogent ideology behind their ostentation, but it doesn't look like they do. Of course, it doesn't harm anyone, but still, I'm pretty incapable of comprehending it; even emo was comprehensible, because underneath the social existence was a music scene, but with these teen wolves; nothing. And if someone says: "Twilight," I'll say it's pretty pathetic to base your immediately perceptible existence on one of the most overrated pieces of hormone exploiting trash ever written...
  14. Areet, anyone up for some SF now? I'm online .
  15. Man that sounds crazy cool. Of course, my impression of Chernobyl comes directly from Stalker: Clear Sky, so my idea of what you might do there might be a bit misled . Spent 7 hours playing Symphony of the Night last night, and when I went to bed I couldn't get rid of the image of Alucard moonwalking through my brain.
  16. Life is like a cluster of Haemorrhoids; you never know when one's going to explode and give you rectal bleeding. In this metaphor, the sphincter, is the world. So exhausted from writing, and just thinking. THINKING about stupid stuff that has no pragmatic qualities whatsoever. Who decided that Lyotard wasn't just an insane Trotskyist, and actually deserved a place on my degree? WHO?
  17. Ah sorry Dysonator, I didn't see your reply. I'm annoyingly having to do a bit of uni work, but if you're up for it in the next few days we should have a little sesh.
  18. Anyone wanna help me get good at this sometime?
  19. Fuck that, it's the first step to Furries becoming socially acceptable. The next thing you know, people will be wearing Sonic the Hedgehog branded fleshlites instead of underwear. But seriously, it's not that it's offensive, just seems like they're completely oblivious to social embarrassment. Hell, I couldn't even watch the video for being so damn embarrassed for them. I reserve the right to refute any claims that this is ironic coming from me.
  20. Yeah Four Lions gets a good 8/10 from me. I haven't laughed that hard for a long long time, and arguably the films greatest triumph is that leaves you with incredibly conflicting emotions; is barefaced laughter the appropriate response to the subject matter? It's a great exploration of the kind of idiocy that propels these kinds of attacks, be it incredibly exaggerated for effect. Fuck mini baby bells.
  21. It was fucking boring is all. I'm not hurt, just annoyed that I spent 2 hours of my life watching the finale when I could have been doing more entertaining things like forcing a brick up my arsehole. Edit: and then listening to a podcast dedicated solely to compensating for its shortcomings, like a whipping boy with stockholm syndrome.
  22. If we are to apply Geekbox's pansy justifications to Star Wars we could extract the message that Lucas was actually saying that supernatural "force" and scientific/ empirical explanations aren't mutually exclusive, but rather supplementary to each other. Do not want! Cop out! Sorry, I'm just an angry nerd, and I'm really just complaining about the fact that I outgrew a series that I was initially really fond of, to the point that I don't even recall that much about the happenings in the first few seasons any more anyway. The fact that the reveals were unsatisfying seemed more indicative of them having neither the foresight to resolve the script beforehand, nor the imagination to make up something in some way convincing after the fact. Come on! It's sci-fi; any old bull shit will suffice as long as it corroborates with a consistent internal logic. My problem was that the only thing anyone really managed to extract from it was this whole "letting go" malark. Oh well. What was the Michael explanation again? It was just that those retarded whispers that they occasionally heard in the forest were the undeparted ghosts of people that died there right? Or were they there as some sort of penance for being bastards? I don't even fucking care anymore. I knew it was gonna end up with me wanting to force a dick into the eye of every writer that ever worked on this show. FEH!
  23. That was exactly the shit; "you don't get all the answers in life." What is this bullshit? When for six years those guys have been buying into the rampant decryptomania that causes them to speculate that the egyptian statue on the island is actually a land mark of the afterlife, or whatever that whole deal was with idiotic cabin scene with "Jacob." If it's all about the journey, then the conclusion is just as much a part of that whole as anything, and I don't want to be led by the hand like a fool trying to decrypt all this meaningless information only for them to laugh in my face at the end of it and give me the fucking ending out of cocoon. I suppose it also comes out of the fact that this season was nowhere near as compelling as some of the preceding ones. It's like the actors themselves realised how fucking lame this whole ordeal is. I donno. I was expecting something. I didn't watch this shit for some sort of pseudo-spiritual nonsense, pulled off with all the aplomb of a nerd explaining midichlorians to me. I wanted answers damnit.
