Oh man, I had an EPIC game on versus just now. It was the hospital level, number 4 on No Mercy I believe. My team was infected first. Then, right when the game starts, I spawn in as a tank! I was on the second floor, so I rush downstairs, and at this point the survivors had retreated back...

Hmmm, I heard that, as far as the maps go, Valve and Microsoft were going to wait until a few more maps get made, then release it in a big map-pack. However, the updates, achievements, and new weapons may not be coming at all, since it would require some pretty big coding hoops or something...

*gag I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. I may need to write this down for posterity. I had no idea a bigoted, self-righteous, holier-than-thou phrase like this could EXIST outside of parody. I'm sure homeland security and the CIA do an excellent job preventing attacks of all...

Not too big an issue. Had Hasan stayed in Iraq he would first of all have a fair chance of being dead, and second probably wouldn't be able to post here anyway. Which doesn't mean he can't have well informed opinions about his home country. The question we really need to ask is, if you do...

linky Not too much fanfare for this. This guy thrived on attention, most of it honestly coming from gamers like ourselves. Just as well he gets ignored as he finally gets comeuppance for his actions. Good riddance.

I presume you've heard of Jack Thompson? Well, a couple years back, before Penny-Arcade pulled its fanbase weight to get Jack debarred, Hillary was on the same bandwagon as him. The most prominent act was when she proposed legislation banning the sale of M rated games to minors. Of course...

True, the two candidates are largely similar in their policies. Thing is, that's WHY no one can put actual reasons behind their dislike of Hillary. With candidates so similar for the Democratic party, It basically comes down to the smaller issues and personal opinions. Me, I'm in almost...

Where are you from, Stabby? I'm not too well off on my European Geography, so you're going to have to tell me where Bellfast is. But from what I can tell, that was an example of a very typical Gospel tradition church. There's a whole American subculture that revolves around churches like...

*snrkt BWAHAHAHAHAHA let me get this straight. You, kathaksung, are being harassed and pursued by Mysterious Government Agents (MGAs). The same MGAs who, through much cunning and resource, have concocted a conspiracy that only YOU and a select few others know about, despite the presence of...

Reading the rather brief article, I kind of gathered this was a step AWAY from religious extremism. I mean, the purpose of the ruling was to draw Muslims away from learning in independent religious institutions, right? What these kids will learn is going to be sanctioned by the German...

OTCEscape: He only began to address them now, because they've only become issues recently. The clip Stabby has provided us was dug up by his political rivals in an effort to tarnish Obama's political image. Its rather a common trend, as you must have noticed that presidential candidates for the...

Andrew, I grew up on the East coast, and I had a similarly comprehensive and informative SexEd course. The problem is that, for the US, education curriculum is completely up the the county/state. Unless you can speak for all 50 states, you really can't make any judgments based on personal...

Heard about this on NPR. Meeting them while prosecuting against them? Fine. It's almost too be expected nowadays. Hell, he does most politicians better by admitting the whole thing as soon as he got caught. What gets me most is that he payed the girl nearly $4000. Though I can't seem to...

Article at NPR To clarify, "Teenager" is defined as 14 to 19 years old, and they only test positive for one STD, with or without any obvious symptoms. The most common found is HPV, or genital warts. And... wow. Especially since I qualify as the tail end of that age demographic. I could...

Looking at the rules, I believe this should be okay. But the mods can inform me if it isn't LINK This isn't written by me, but I don't think anyone else on these forums have noticed it, and its far too good to simply let lie. Its a novelization of the original Half Life, but not in the...
