Who are they aimed at, goddess007?

Good example. But you were still able to keep your food cold with the ice. Try going a whole week without the ability to keep your food cold. Relying on dry goods and fermentation to keep your food from spoilage. Then I could consider you really hardcore.

I had a similar experience to yours a few weeks ago, only it had nothing to do with my refrigderator, and everything to do with my hotwater heater. Every morning for a little over a week I showered it up in icy cold water (this is while it was below freezing outside). Sure, I could have hit up a friend for their warm watery goodness, but instead I decided it would be good to go without for a bit. Ha ha! Ice blocks!... Xhonzi you wuss...

CPX dont try and talk winkey things with me. I just presumed your the evil one by your avatar, and i know evil shit when i see it..Besides Jedi Knight is so old school nowdayz anyhowz. Im about to pop 1000 posts but i like to still be called a clown ;-)

It is hard for me to let go of things, but I really like this "Evil One" title, so I will let go of the Jedi Knight title (sort of), for now anyway.

Oh, my uncle had a moose head hanging over his stair way. It was pretty nasty. Never really understood some people's obsession with hanging dead animal parts, or entire dead animals, on their walls.

I don't think DS is a second English speaker, I think he is just writing in dialect. It gives him character, kind of like DAYV'S caps.

You know if you "right-click" those pictures it will give you the option to save them to your computer. You might need a pretty good stockpile to last you a whole week though, but it is possible. So you don't really need the internet for those "other things".

I love that "moosenuckle" is mispelled in the first picture. My favorite thing about the internets is that people know how to photoshop pictures and do all this fancy stuff with their PCs, yet they still lack basic communication skills such as proper spelling and punctuation.

Its hard to notice anyfink else, but its not a camel toe, its a moose toe. There aint no camels in canada, i fink. Mann, i hate having to explain my own jokes!

OBAY MY DOG!!! and stuff....sorry u almost died and stuff though evil one.

Maybe I should have put a winky after the not noticing the moose prints bit. ;)

Is that my new forum title? Evil one? Because I could get used to that one...

YAY! I am fully pardoned!

Whoa, serious camel toe going on in the above picture... not sure if I noticed the moose print though.

I almost got killed by a moose once. You see, I was rafting, and unwittingly drifted between a cow and her newborn calf... she dashed through the water a mere few feet from me, snorting and huffing in my direction. Had I been just a few feet closer to her, I likely would have found myself being trampled to death, and the world and this forum would have been deprived of the greatness that is 3PX... and my fine artwork, of which the piece I displayed on the previous page was part of, would be worth a small fortune.

Things like this are so ridiculous. Who cares if Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. Sucks for his wife, but it is really between he and his family, and not really our business. The media sucks, they need to shut up, and people suck for having such boring lives they rely on the drama of others in order to keep their blood pumping. The man didn't owe an apology to any of us. His wife and family are the only ones he should be apologizing too.

Interesting how people who say "it's no one else's business" are the ones making it their business.......IMHO*

Care to elaborate on this? I assume you are referring to something specific. Has the line "this should be no one else's business" been flying around in the media who have been reporting all this?

Yeah, wow, I have no idea. They are weird though, right? I don't watch TV so I had no idea what you were talking about so I youtubed them. Visually, they kind of have a surreal, overly polished, squeaky clean feel to them. Content wise, yeah, they seem entirely without context.

I am not Catholic either, but I am very fond of the idea of giving stuff up for a period of time. I find it keeps me from growing too soft. Has to be something you rely on a lot though to really be any kind of a big deal. Most of the things in life we feel are necessities really are not, so I definitely think it is a good idea to force ourselves to learn how to cope without them.

Okay, this silliness is getting out of hand. Let's at least give threads a chance to get going before mercilessly derailing them. There are plenty of silly threads around, surely we can afford to have a few serious ones, right?

To try to bring this thread back on topic...

I first heard about Halo Legends back when I was going through a big Halo kick, and couldn't wait for it. Now my Halo kick has worn off and... well, I am sure I'll get around to seeing it sometime.

Having never learned to appreciate anime in the slightest, I haven't had very high expectations for it (though I think a Lucas-input free anime remake of the original trilogy would be BEYOND AWESOME!!! Sometimes I even dream of its existence and wake up realizing it was all just a dream and I cry a little bit to myself out of disappointment...). Though it is nice to hear a fellow non-anime-lover mention liking at least 50% percent of it. I'll try to check it out sometime soon.

From what I understand, it is suppose to be Cortana retelling the events of the first three games. So they must have just taken plenty of creative liberties with it all. I remember reading that one of the segments was intended as a parody of the Halo universe, so that must be the one you said has to be taken as a joke. Kind of strange they feel the need to make fun of themselves, when the only people that would even consider this are loyal Halo fans who already appeciate that universe.

btw, are you claiming that you are twelve?

No, I am much older than twelve. I drew that fine work of art when I was around twelve. Yes, yes, I was a bit of a wunderkind.

Personally, I think the role of C3PX is horribly miscast.

As for skyjedi and VINH, excellent choice getting them to play themselves, there really is no substitution for either of those guys.

Spelling Knotsi.

Loooots of aliens! Now I'm on topic!

On topic? Yes.

Changed my mind? No.

HALL OF SHAME!!!

Awwww! COME ON! Does the fact that a cute and sweet little 12 year old C3PX drew that picture to express his emo-esque feelings of isolation and loneliness (that particular piece is called... "Alone") make any difference in the matter? 

In order to keep this post from being probation worthy, I would totally draw a picture of one of my aliens holding out some flowers for you Fink, but I am now a Mac user and my artistic abilities are limited to MSPaint, so I can't. But just imagine a picture of one of those aliens from my previous drawing smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers and saying in a comic balloon "Fink is THE coolest yellow person EVER!"

An abridgment, perhaps?

Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don't exist... then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks... and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming...

Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Still a bit long, but it has been tested and is 100% sig ready.

Talking of Ra's.

It reminds me of the time I was walking home and passed a club with some men in female attire outside.

One said to me as I passed.

"Oooh, you look just like Peter Sutcliffe".

To which I opined, "At least I don't look like Myra Hindley".

The other day a little kid (he was about six years or so) told me I look just like one of the Beatles (I don't). Just when I was about say, "Oh, cool, thanks! Which one?" he continued very emphatically with "It is reeeeeeally creeping me out!"

I really wasn't sure how to respond to that... maybe its time I went and got myself a hair cut...

^As much as I enjoyed the movie, it couldn't hold a candle to the BBC series.

Eh, as much as I DIDN'T enjoy the movie or the BBC TV series, neither one could hold a flashlight to the original BBC Radio 4 plays, or the books, or the computer game, or even the towel for that matter!

D'oh, one missed letter killed my whole post.

Then I'll ask for Amy Winehouse's hand in marriage.

REALLY??!?!!  I thought you were into Gaffer Tape or Davnes lol!!!

Nah, he doesn't have a chance with Gaffer. Gaffer Tape is like that insanely hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with because she is so sweet and not a stuck up bitch like many pretty girls tend to be during their HS years and she doesn't try to pretend you don't exist, and since she isn't always hanging off the arm of some jock she seems obtainable to you even though she is honestly way out of your league... then one day you are taking a stroll in the park and spot her sitting on a park bench making out hard and heavy with some skinny little short haired guy, only upon a second look you realize she is actually making out with that weird reclusive goth girl who always sits in the back of class and at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks... and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all, not that that is going to stop you from dreaming...

Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I enjoyed the first two God of War games (have actually yet to beat the second one), it was the visuals that attracted me to the game. I have always loved Greek mythology, so that was another reason I was drawn to it. Ultimately, anyone going into it for the mythology will be disappointed, as there is actually no attempt by the creators to actually follow the real mythology, rather they take massive liberties with it just taking chunks they thought were cool and tossing them in where ever they feel like (which I still enjoyed well enough).

In the end, it is a very visually pleasing buttom masher filled with plenty of puzzles of varying difficulty levels (most of them being not at all). But it is also extremely gorey, so anyone who dislikes gore in their games won't care for it.

There is also a fair deal of female nudity in them, the first two both featuring a sex mini game that earns you extra points (it is really lame, the camera pans away, and you pretty much play dance, dance revolution with the sounds of your character grunting and the women groaning. I felt it the whole thing was in pretty bad taste and did absolutely nothing to help the game out. Just added to please the large protion of the games audience who have never actually had the opportunity to do that in real life). The Gorgons and the Sirens (who, interestingly enough dwell in the desert, far, far away from any source of water) go around with their breasts hanging out, as do some of the temple priestesses.

Originally, missing out on God of War III and Metal Gear Solid 4 were the only reasons I had to think twice about buying a 360 instead of a PS3. Since I have still yet to beat GOWII or MGS3, and have kind of lost interest in both series, I am glad I didn't let those factors motivate me too much.

LOL! That really made me laugh.

I think "Not always safe for working" should replace the old and tired "Not Work Safe" label. NASFW.
