    I prefer the idea that the deer shot the bullet from its chest. Sort of like an Anti-Theft device.

    Anyways, back to the topic:

    Season 2 Premiere Rocked.

    I bet we'll find the girl in the stomach of a crocodile, inside a dolphin, inside a whale.

    You can thank Facebook and Twitter for the degeneration of paragraphs into one sentence or less.

    Do I have the time or sanity to sit and read every single post? No.

    I assume that the argument is mostly established in the opening sentences of a paragraph and that thoughts would be separated into individual paragraphs

    So, in the future, separate your thoughts into separate paragraphs so that they read as:
    The thing that bothered me about Andrea's gun was that you'd think she'd know at least a little bit about how it worked and how to put it back together already. Sure I don't expect her to be super-SWAT trained solider, but still if her father gave her that gun you'd think at some point she would have learned the absolute basics about it. It just struck me as odd that she'd be completely clueless when it was already established that she and her sister spent a lot of time with their father camping, fishing and doing other outdoorsy things.

    Of course they did establish that she didn't even know about the safety on that gun in the first season so it seems like the writers can't decide if she's completely clueless in this area or not.
    That way people don't assume your entire paragraph is about one thought and just skip to respond after the first few sentences.

    Wall of Text = BAD

    Spoilaaaah




    Remember in Season 1? When she met Rick for the first time and pointed the gun in his face? He told her afterwards she had left the safety on. She's had the gun, but apparently has never used it or learned how to use it.
  10. So people complained that Poison sucked (I was one of them.)

    Poison got revamped - much to what people had been wanting.

    Now people want to know when it is going to be fixed?


    L.O.L.

    Perhaps to you.

    Not to me.

    So while Normal Mapped faces might rankle a few I do notice a lot of players using them. I use them as often as I can (depending on the character theme.)

    Oooh, Normal Mapped skull face

  12. I beg to differ.




    Again, "beauty" is in the eye of the holder

    If your graphics card isn't up to par... well, then, I could see where it might be jarring

  14. I love the normal mapped faces - because to me they look more realistic and higher quality than the old faces, they interact with light sources better, and they just look so much "current" than the old ones.

    I would still like to see all the old faces get a HQ lift.
  15. I don't believe joining a gym is necessity to lose weight/become fit.

    What I think is important, and the article points out, is that avid gamers who are focused and dedicated to playing games can channel that focus, energy, and dedication into being healthier; be it losing 30lbs of fat and/or gaining 45lbs of muscle.

    You see Cockiness and Vanity whereas I see Confidence
  19. I'm curious about Fitocracy and will keep an eye on how it develops/goes along.

    I have Wii Fit, but unfortunately my living room is too clusterfudged with furniture to make daily use of it. Before the clusterfudgation of my living room I used it every morning to do some light-faux-yoga (I don't consider any exercises on Wii Fit real) and I found just getting that activity in the morning gave me a boost of energy that soul sucking and forum trolling just couldn't do.

  22. Why gamers are a great fit at the gym.


    Dick Talens weighed 230 pounds in high school before becoming a body builder.
    No, srsly.

    Has anyone thought about the level of dedication, time, and effort that put into making their characters, their builds, getting those purple IOs, or getting that 30th level 50 and channeling that in to being physically active?


    Michael Perry said he was heavy all of his life before he started weight-lifting.

    So, how do all of you balance gaming and exercise?
  23. Those who commit evil do not see themselves as "evil."

    In some cases, yes, they are aware of it - but for the most part it doesn't register as "evil" to them.

    A majority, however, perceive their actions and behaviors as "evil" - so is it right to conform individuals we don't consider "normal" into our rubric of "good" and "normal"?

    Unnecessary quotations FTW!

    Thanks for bearing with me as I get to your concerns and requests.
