  1. Retarded Sloth is still in his room. I swear, if he doesn't leave tonight like he said he would, about seven or so people are going to throw him out.

      I haven't really followed this whole roommate debacle going on in the forums, so I would love a link to read up on "Retarded Sloth".

      So he was supposed to leave today? Duke, go read the "Roommates & Co. Rants" in the Off-Topic forum.

      Jesus Christ he better be gone.

  2. Well, obviously, the bullets were made from reverbranium. DUUUUH! Is that anywhere close to unobtanium on the periodic table?
  3. You are exaggerating your example to the point of absurdity. Overuse of the word "fuck", just like overuse of any other words, will make your speech sound repetitive and boring. Overuse and repetition limits your range, not the specific usage of a swear. Leaving out swears from your use of language is limiting as well. As for kids overusing swears... It's just a form of rebellion. If swears weren't considered "bad" by their parents and teachers, they'd find something else to rebel against. First it was attention, but now it's rebellion. I didn't realize children were such punks. What if perhaps it's because swears are also "grown up" words. Rather than the reasoning that it's to act out, it's to act like someone they look up to. That's generally why little kids begin swearing, to imitate their parents or an older sibling. EDIT: At least, in my previous anecdotal, that was the cause for the five year-old. Turns out his father was kinda a loudmouth with a salty twist. He was "working" on it, but I think we all know it's kinda like sweeping dust under a rug: it's gonna pop out eventually.
  4. I had a post a while ago, but I received an "internal error" and so it didn't post. I think it was error 500 or something. Anyway, I rather not try to recreate it as I've grown tired of the discussion of "fuck," but this international thing has peaked my interest. I guess to put in my last few words on the previous discussion: I wouldn't say that the more you swear the "dumber you become." No, instead you could say the dumber you look. It's common to hear excessive swearing from either aggressive individuals, or those who are uneducated because they'll use "fuck" and other expletives as their go-to words to somehow add power to an argument or expression. As Rocky said, it's like 99% of swearing in North American English is 100 variants of "fuck."
  5. Penguin Trailer Watch to the end for a special surprise!
  6. I think it shouldn't be normal for a little kid to substitute "ouch" or any other menial word with a string of cussing. A few nights ago I yelled out "shit" when I almost fell down a flight of stairs. I don't think anyone would judge me harshly for it. If I had bumped my head getting out of my car and yelled, "son of a bitch" I wouldn't find it surprising if people thought I had anger issues if a bump on the head let out such language. George Carlin may have had a point or two, but the versatility of "fuck" is evidence of people being lazy and substituting said word for countless others. I swear (no pun intended), if I were to ask a class of high school students today what a thesaurus was, the first response would be, "How the fuck should I know every dinosaur?"
  7. Looking through my DVD collection, I realize I have some useless films in my collection. For example, while I do like Van Helsing, having seen it about six times on television gives me little reason to hang unto the full screen version.

  8. That's a behavioral issue, not a language acquisition issue. If society didn't label swearing as 'bad' they'd act up in other ways to get attention. Also, that video is a famous monologue by the genius comedian George Carlin. And he'd agree with *me* that focusing on swear words as being bad is fucking ridiculous. Attention was hardly the case when after one of her five year-olds stubbed his toe on the playground he yelled out, "motherfucking son of a bitch!" I'm not talking about a bunch of teens with pseudo-drama, we're on the elementary level here. But hey, if you would rather have society be relaxed and say "fucking" instead of absolutely, completely, entirely, fully, utterly, wholly, or even thoroughly, have at it. Judgments will be made and there's nothing that can stop an employer, supervisor, or customer becoming uncomfortable with casual salty language. Or should I say... But fuck, if you'd fucking have society be a bitch and say "fucking" instead of fuck, fucknuts, fucker, fuckwit, fuckass, or even bitchfuck, have fucking at it. Goddamn judgements will fucking be made and there's nothing that can fucking stop a bitch, cunt, or asshole becoming goddamn uncomfortable with fucking casual motherfucking language. Completely reasonable.
  9. Like others, it depends on the game. Having just finished L.A. Noire, I wish I didn't feel rush having rent it and all because that game isn't like the typical AAA title. You actually have to take some time and think over a few steps. The game (in Statistics) says it took me 20 hours to complete, but I know I have like an hour or so more added to that given that I realized I screwed up somewhere or somehow. Sometimes it felt slow, but then there were times that you found yourself in the middle of a car chase or pursuit. It's just that it had a mixture of different game types. You could say it was a mix of Grand Theft Auto and Phoenix Wright. You might be driving 88 MPH after a suspect, or thinking over whether you should choose Doubt or Lie if there might be proper evidence.
  10. Double Post, but I have to run this by you guys. The Crazy tonight yelled out "I hate niggers" and went into a racist rant about black television and how there are only a few attractive black women. I don't think I'm going to talk to him that much now... At least I only have a month left, and Retarded Sloth is moving out Friday.
  11. I believe they limit one's vocabulary to be honest. If anyone has seen that Flash video about "The F Word," you get my point. My mother is a teacher, so I've been around public schooling more than I would like to be, but it's interesting to be in that atmosphere with a cultural point of view. It's a shame to see kids act like perverts even when they have no clue of what they're talking about, or instead of using proper adjectives or verbs, it's either "bitch'" or some variant of "fuck."
  12. The Great Mouse Detective, another great Disney film, is only 74 min.
  13. I'm not a big fighting game fan. Person below me is getting Catherine!
  14. One of my best friends I haven't seen in almost seven years has moved into town. Without any kind of planning, he happens to be living right across the street from where I live!

    1. 「Advent Chaos」

      Fate smiles upon you! Seriously talk about an incredible event, take full advantage of it c: !

      You should ask him if he needs a roommate.

      "Yeah, he's a real neat freak. And he keeps to himself all the time. You won't even know he's there, unless he's cooking delicious food for you. And he doesn't even let you clean the dishes afterward!"

  15. On Netflix I watched Rugrats Go Wild, a.k.a. Rugrats meet The Wild Thornberrys. I'm putting it in "Good" because it's very nostalgic, but of course it's a kids movie with a soundtrack I had to tolerate. I mean, why did they need Rugrats characters singing?! Not to mention the odd assortment of copyright songs. Still, it was a hoot to hear Tim Curry as Nigel Thornberry. "Ghaashdgddgfgr..."
  16. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-catherine/717675 GT REVIEW! I would say the score they give (no spoiler) might probably be a fair assessment of how the average gamer would feel towards the game. It's not really niche, but ever since the demo, the puzzles have been a huge dividing line for enjoyment. Still, I pre-ordered this game today and Amazon had a cheap Release Day shipping price. Really, it was only 99 cents! Like, how does that work?
  17. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/the-wii-mega64/717627 It all makes sense now!
  18. An hour?! /Google Actually, that makes sense. It is Winnie the Pooh, so an hour should be long enough to tell the stories. I imagine the credits and title are counted, so yeah, it's a little over an hour. A nice break from the ton of 100+ minute movies of late.
  19. I wish, and while my sister is getting a 360 for her birthday, Aug. 12, she and her husband will being moving away before then. The person below me only has one console of the current gen. EDIT: Oh look, I became a Dispenser just now. Too bad I wasn't below Pojodin.
  20. Finally finished L.A. Noire. I didn't expect the last few cases to go so fast. Just going to try a trophy or two and return it tonight.

  21. To indulge, feet arranged in that manner have been associated with sex. One pair spread apart and one pair lined in the middle. Of course, it could be a couple making out. Some dude all up in that face and...
  22. You've probably already seen some of the user's other videos, but I had a friend show me this one today.
  23. The Crazy, as I'll call him, bugs the hell out of me. He's only a fraction as bad as Retarded Sloth, a.k.a Foul One, but talking politics is a nightmare. He kept saying NASA was "abolished," but I'm thinking to myself where he heard any of that. Well, he merely thinks the budget cuts and the U.S. no longer going to the moon for billions of dollars means there is no NASA. I tell him everything that has gone on, and his conclusion is that the U.S. will "fall behind." I still don't get how we'll "fall behind" even when I told him everything about our current operations for Mars. He believes that former employees will defect to other countries and we will have the "space experts" working against us. He doesn't like the idea that the private sector will make innovations that NASA won't have to blow billions on because what it comes down to is that, "Derp, America gotta make everything better first!" Yeah, he believes Japanese robots are going to dominate outer space. I told him all of Japan's uses for advanced robotics, even that creepy ass dentist patient robot, but nope! Yes, those humanoid robots are what's going to make Japan land on Mars! I stopped myself, and I don't care if that gave the impression I was "defeated," but there's no point in arguing with a wall, especially one built with bricks of ignorance. I left it at, "If you earnestly believe you know what's best, then get into politics." I've found that the majority of people who frequently speak on politics are all talk, and that talk is merely a bunch of hot air. It's a rare breed to find someone who adamantly speaks on politics and actually comprehends what they're saying. I'm not saying I'm an expert either, but at least I don't have wild accusations.
  24. You could say it could conclude by everyone accepting Batman and allowing him to protect Gotham. Of course, who knows if that would happen after he took credit for the murder of "Harvey Dent."
  25. I'm finally on the Arson cases for L.A. Noire, but I doubt I'll be able to finish Tuesday night.
