I thought that if you've had toxoplasmosis once, you likey become immune to it. Which makes the whole deal about parasites OMGcontrolling us a lot more boring than it already is in the first place.

Wrong. y'know, actually those guys here are right. Facial piercings do make people think you're a gay junkie/dealer and prostitute. This is great because it helps you filter out stuck-up homophobic (in your case) / sexist judgemental assholes from people actually worth your time. The only...

I have five eyebrow piercings and I don't regret getting them. However, I got them because it just felt right, not because I wanted to change my looks. If it's really just about the looks and you aren't into body mods, you may want to experiment with clothes, hairdo, hair dye, and maybe even...

Wait, what? Did I understand that correctly-- Record labels don't get the copyright licenses for the stuff they put on compilation discs? And no one noticed / bothered until now? Seriously?

Fixed. I really didn't think I'd fail THAT much with English Pokemon names, only got like ten. :\ Also, I could only name 50-something countries. I always sucked at geography, I don't know a lot of English country names, and I have trouble focusing on doing one thing for more than five...

swoosh! (I'm sorry, it's a conditioned response. Disclaimer: I hate Olympia and similar student corporations) I don't get it, did you ask that question because you're afraid that yr skin might stop healing, or because you *want* it to stop healing? If it's the latter, you can do stuff like...

Concerning the Vorts' relationship to Alyx: I forgot where it was, but at some point, if Alyx dies, instead of the usual G-Man "assignment: terminated"-message there's one saying "The Alyx Vance has died. Without her, we cannot persevere" or something to that effect.

I was going to say "Dude. Edward is much more than a short blond kid having adventures, and Al is much more than just an armor. Link on the other hand has about as much personality as Gordon Freeman.", but than I read that in Spirit Tracks you can travel by train. You must be right D:

I think it's the "ain't". I don't know why it would be confusing to use that as a non-native speaker though - even though people tend to be taught some kind of standardized English in schools it's not like they don't still hear and read other dialects on TV, the internet, whatever. Also...

I always assumed that the photo was supposed to show that Alyx' mother died (?) when Alyx was still an infant. I don't remember how I came to that conclusion though, it probably doesn't make any sense. Is there anything like a game script for Episode 2 somewhere? I didn't find one googling and I...

re: Negating the differences/culture is a compromise you'll have to make if you want to get rid of racism. I think the first step to take in order to get rid of racism is to realize that what we perceive as race is just socially constructed (don't have the time and grasp of the English...

an uncut version of the video is available on http://www.l4d-game.de/2009/10/30/uncut/ during the night (starting from 11 pm CET). nice. i like how the announcer is trying to make it sound all serious but is through this actually making it seem unintentionally funny and therefore ridiculous...

Well, this is all fun and games, however, this is a very problematic statement. Hitler very likely did not pump anyone full of flourid, or personally killed many people at all (except maybe as a soldier in WWI, I dunno). I know that the name Hitler is commonly used as some kind of pars pro...

10 Portal 9 Resident Evil 8 The Secret of Monkey Island 7 C&C: Red Alert 6 Leisure Suit Larry 5 Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga 4 Osui Tatake! Ouendan 3 Grim Fandango 2 WarioWare Franchise 1 Conker's Bad Fur Day Eh, I dunno. I didn't think most of these were particularly funny, but...

some people do gain enjoyment from analyzing things, including video games. or they might just do it automatically while playing anyway. or they do it because they think it's important: they care about other people / society, or they just want to believe in some kind of "higher powers" and...
