Because people who think in terms of "video games are for children" and "D&D players are all Satanists" are actually morons? ;) Sheesh. I've been gaming since I was very young, and I've played violent games like Doom, MK, Unreal: Tournament etc. All they've done was made me slightly nauseous due to ...

When do we see the Smurfs again?

Is that from KQ6? I think it might be.

Sigh. Today I was told that a guy who undertook our course 3 months ago has since not only skipped town, but also left the country - and the recruitment company that hired him out to the hospital, where he took our course, doesn't want to talk to the hospital or to me about him. (Of course not - bec...

:lol: Maia! :) I have to deal with annoying people on the phone every day (I work in accounts receivable, and part of my job is to chase down ageing debtors), so things like "Press 1 for ABC, press 2 to XYZ" etc. is the least difficult part of my job. Right now I'm dealing with several people who ha...

I don't wait for shipments... I go out and look for books. ;) I'm a member of three different libraries, with about five b...

Bosses who act like normal people most of the time, but then turn around and yell at you for trying to help because you're 'breaking the rules'.

I don't think that beautiful 3D graphics are the be-all and end-all of a game; nor does a game have to be linear to be enjoyable. I wonder if anyone remembers a LucasArts game called Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis . I used to play that game many, many times - I have never finished it in all ...

What's the Clue reference?
*loves Tim Curry's manic butler*

What's not to love about this film? It has Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Madeleine Khan, Christopher Lloyd... and on and on and on...

That's true. I saw on the news that people in Iran are using Twitter to organise big rallies against Ahmadenijad. More power to them, I say!

Hmmm... A blacksmith decides to pick you up and thrust you into a forge. You would... 1) ...instantly shrivel up - you're made of paper or some other combustible material 2) ...make good fuel for the forge - you're made of wood or some other such material 3) ...bend but not break - you're made of so...

Personally, I have seen so many examples of bad spelling on the internet, that "Knite Dude" really doesn't surprise me that much. At least he didn't spell it "Knite Dood". Thank god for small mercies.

Are you male or female?

(Yes, I know.) *hangs head in shame for thinking of such an old question*
