Mr. GOH!

You look like a dude folks could score some weed off of. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Tron: Legacy. The movie was fucking boring. I mean, the only character I could care about was Jeff Bridges, but that's because he's The Dude. The plot was lame, the worldbuilding was nonsensical and the art style was bland. I mean, the world just looked like some minimalist Swedish furniture designer's wet dream if you traced everything in fucking neon magic markers. And the 3D made everything except the magic marker lines way too dark, which did not go well the general pastiness of all the whitebread characters. Daft Punk is cool, but I cannot recall a single theme or song from the movie. What fucking waste of $17.

Whips. Unless you're herding cattle or engaging in some BDSM, they're fairly useless as weapons.

I recently started in on Victoria II and rekindled my love for these beautifully complex and deep strategy games. In what other games can you decide to play as a kingdom you've never heard of and eventually bring the Great Powers of the world to their knees?

Chrome since FF became way too laggy. Sometimes I use FF or IE when a site doesn't work in Chrome. Gawker sites seem to not like Chrome, for example, and I'll randomly be unable to log in or post comments from Chrome.

I've noticed that a lot of the gamers I know in real life are also cigarette smokers. Hell, I was a smoker until three years ago. This is a place to discuss smoking and smoking cessation. Please share the tips, trips and hacks that help you quit, or at least help you cut down. At its height, my habit was just over a pack a day. I tried to quit cold turkey twice but failed. I managed to finally stop by cutting down slowly over a month. Now I don't even get cravings any more. Full disclosure: I do have the very occasional cigar or cigarillo maybe three or four times a year for celebrations with colleagues. The last one I had was in October.

Final Fantasy XIII. It isn't the worst game I've ever played, but the combination of an ultralong dev cycle, really high level of polish, and the completely and utterly bullshit gameplay, story and characters make it aggressively and offensively atrocious enough that it is my least favorite game of all time. I mean, it was like it was designed to be awful.

Korean age dates back to the moment of conception. They consider time spent in the womb as time being in existence. The moment you are born you are also one year old. The formula is something like current year, minus birth year, plus one year. I'm not Korean, so my math could be off. I only know this from dating Asian guys. It is just one of those things I wish I didn't know about actually, like "fan death" and such. Asian guys just say this so they appear older and more sophisticated. It's all just a ruse. Unfortunately not all men are born with your natural sophistication and charm, Mr. GOH! But they can try! Why, of course not; very few reach the rarefied heights of genteel refinement and savoir faire I enjoy. But in the interest of fairness and full disclosure, as a white male, I am culturally obligated to engage in puffery regarding the amount and length of my workouts. A handy rule of thumb; reduce any numbers a white male uses to describe his fitness routine by at least 25%. This applies to weight he's able to lift, length of his cardio routine and waistline inches lost, among other things.

Hmm, not a fan of Civ 5? That list is in order. Civ 5 just came out; I've only had time to put, um... *check Steam* 52 hours into it so far.

I can't pick a favorite. But the games I've put the most hours into are probably, in order: 1. Civilization IV 2. Civilization III 3. Civilization for SNES 4. Sim City 3000 5. SimCity 4 6. Rome: Total War 7. Empire: Total War 8. Myth 2: Soulblighter 9. Baldur's Gate Series 10. Icewind Dale Series 11. Fallout 1 + 2 12. Fallout 3. 13. Dragon Age: Origins 14. Final Fantasy VI 15. Final Fantasy IV 16. Final Fantasy VII 17. GTA: San Andreas 18. GTA: Vice City 19. Warcraft 2 20. Master of Orion 2

Good flick. But then I always appreciate movies about madness and obsession.

Myth 2: Soulblighter. Fun times.

Oh, I have. That's how I went through college. It's not a look that very well-respected in my professional community, though, so I go with a very close cut with clippers. That sort of cut, oddly, does seem to be much more acceptable than a clean shave. I dunno what it is, but head-stubble seems to be okay. It's better than the long-on-the-sides, shiny-up-top look that seems to be favored by people 20 years older than I am.

My hair started thinning on top when I was 16. :\ I just decided to not give a shit, so it doesn't bother me. I keep my hair cut short and go about my business. If people don't like that I'm bald or find it unattractive, well, fuck those assholes. I can't help that I have testosterone levels of manly proportions.

One of my friends had to spend 9 months in a neck brace because of the damage he did to his back sleeping on his stomach. He just woke up one morning and his left side was numb. He was 27 and in very good shape. I used to sleep on my stomach, but I injured my back by carrying my 120 lbs of law books in a messenger bag for a year. I trained myself to sleep on my side to avoid waking up stiff and sore every morning. Plus sleeping on your left side is best for your digestion. Whenever I see a man cross his legs when sitting down I cringe. I know theoretically that it can be done without squishing important things, but it's not worth the risk.

Well, amongst non-enthusiasts the term clip is more general than magazine; a magazine is a type of clip. It's incorrect and maddening, but tons of people make the same mistake. But, yeah, I thought Owen knew his gun stuff. At least he strikes me as a down-home country bro who would have been exposed to that sort of thing even if he's not an enthusiast.

Been playing Dead Space 2 while hung over something fierce. Still a pretty fucking excellent SP horror game.

The continued popularity of DLC and expensive collector's editions undermines your assertion. But $300 is pushing it.

Why can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance?

:-D Sucks that there's no football this weekend, though.

Every ten to fifteen minutes. I don't overwrite unless I absolutely have to.
