  1. Bad news: Bullets become solid-matter proof. Good news everyone! Donald Trump has a profound religious experience and announces his conversion to Jainism.
  2. Granted. The sun rapidly expands and draws Earth into its mass. I wish I had a pet guinea pig.
  3. i1L0k8DS2XI
  4. I'm glad I don't have hooves anymore. You can't hold cups of hot cocoa with hooves.
  5. Tortured croissants sell corn-eating laptops and overpriced cursed demonic candy for the Vietnamese.
  6. Wrestling. Boxing might be the real sport, but it can't compete with the spellbinding lunacy of staged wrestling. I'm especially fond of the sort theatrical (almost pantomime) British wrestling that you used to see between the 60's and 80's. A TV series adaptation of Katamari Damacy? OR A TV series adaptation of Don't Starve?
  7. Granted, but after a while you become so jaded and cynical that you can't appreciate a good thing even when it's right in front of you. I wish someone would make a Warhammer TV series, but with an emphasis on non-human characters and races.
  8. Alright.
  9. 9/10, can't go wrong with Sam & Max.
  10. Banned for making suggestively lewd accusations out of perfectly innocent grammar nazism.
  11. Bad news: The movie is so good that it utterly destroys any hope for future film-makers. Gradually the entire medium dies out and my critics blame Ross for it's untimely demise. Good news everyone! (I like the Futurama reference Ninja :3) Abraham Lincoln has arisen from his grave!
  12. Lol I've done that... once. XD But I knew immediately I was just being a retard and left my glasses on. I like it! You realized you had your glasses on in the shower, decided to go with it, and not a single fuck was given... One of the reasons I'm not keen on contact lenses is due to the irrational fear that I'll accidentally forget that I'm shortsighted, go to bed, and find out the next morning that my lenses have slipped into my eye-sockets.
  13. I tried to cut down on the amount of cola I habitually drink on daily basis this year. It gets to point where I'm so over-caffeinated that I swear I can sense my environment the same way catfish do.
  14. This might just be our reality circa 3000 AD. I guess that would make them paleophiliacs?
  15. ^ Whilst I have no firsthand experience of the kind of people you're talking about because I don't do online gaming, but I imagine if I did I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. Nothing ruins any game quicker than a community or fanbase who treat it as a matter of life and death. I'm torn between wishing that those people would dispense their passions into something worthwhile like art, politics, spirituality, etc - and hoping that people that indefensibly stupid never go anywhere near any recognizably human endeavour. PP #16: Just a minor one this time. Are you familiar with that feeling when somebody beats you to a specific post in a thread game that you would've really really liked to have replied to? And you slightly (albeit temporarily) resent the person who pipped you to the post? We have worse terms than that for those kinds of people (;p feel free to appropriate my homelands many idioms).
  16. Dragon Quest Heroes. It took me about an hour to alleviate the disappointment of it not being turn-based RPG as in previous titles, and to get used to the "hit everything with a stick" Dynasty Warrior-style gameplay it offers. But now I'm getting into it's deceptively mindless play style and beginning to appreciate the extra layers and options you have during fights. Plus I knew couldn't stay mad at this series for long, due to my affection for Dragon Quest's visual style, bright and colourful palette, Akira Toriyama's lovely monster and character design, the funnily regional voice acting (a Dragon Quest game was the first time I heard a stereotypically Cornwall accent in the medium, video games need more Cornish voice actors!) the subtle recognizable soundtrack and menu/event jingles... I've missed this series so much.
  17. ^ I fully agree with folks annoyance when subjected to pronunciation snobbery. As a Midlands man I'm not insensitive to the cultural cachet that burdens my regions accent - Brummies (and by extension the rest of the West Midlands, by northern/southern English logic) are typically stereotyped as being affably stupid and occasionally nicknamed "Yam Yams" due to our ingrained habit of saying "yow" for "you", specifically "yowam" instead of "you are/I am". Here in Tamworth we also tend to say "dint it" instead of enunciating "didn't it" the consensually proper way. It strikes me as yet another strain of grammar/spelling fascism, and lord knows the internet doesn't need more of that. As far as I'm my yams and dints are part of the natural order of my post-industrial environment. Sod anyone who doesn't like my yampy minkie twang! PP #13: Musical elitism in anyone over the age of thirty. Most of us grow out of that mental toss by the time we leave high school, yet you're a thirty-something still extolling the virtues "trve blakk metvl" over everything else because you've become unimaginative and conservative. I love black metal too! Liking something is not a skill! Stop basting yourself in self-important and smug pretense and actually have a peep a few feet from the vat of your subjective taste.
  18. Have you got the point yet where you are so used to wearing glasses that you regularly get into the shower and fail to notice that you're still wearing them, and only do so the moment the water hits your face, causing momentary panic as in that split-second before realization kicks-in you've convinced yourself that you've spontaneously developed some sort of limited water repelling telekinesis 1cm from your eyes? I've just heard some people do that...
  19. I desperately want to believe that this wasn't staged. That in real life, when a cyclist slams face-first into a snow covered wall they leave blatantly anthropomorphic outline on it, like they are in a cartoon.
  20. An excellent (yet soul-crushingly despairing) surmisation of the utter pile of wank 2016 has been.
  21. nWz_tNr41nA For something released in 2014, this could just as easily be an unearthed minimal techno anthem from late 80's/early 90's. The sort of scary and unfriendly techno that only assorted weirdos, and Germans, could love. 10/10!
  22. I'm pretty nauseated with the way Britain's politicians are suddenly chumming-up with Donald Trump, despite them largely (and rightly, in my opinion) writing him off as a lunatic unfit for office a few weeks ago.
  23. Tired, but I still feel pretty okay. Finishing a shift at work is the one routine in my life that never gets old. I think the "stress-the-fuck-out-about-the-incompetence-of-my-colleagues-and-humanity-in-general" part of my brain was beaten up and left for dead by the prepersonal ruminant slug part of my brain.
  24. Channel 83 by Broken English Club
  25. I agree with you. Experience has taught me that anyone who likes to differentiate themselves as "real" gamers, are suffering from a self-inflicted sense of displaced frustration. Compensating for perceived (though repressed) failings is an issue that goes beyond self-professed "real gamers". People will find almost anything to flaunt as evidence for their own unwarranted sense of superiority over others that lack their interests or lifestyle choices.
