I do so wish that my PC was still capable of playing a game like Skyrim. Alas, it is not, and I don't have the money nor the space to build and maintain a gaming desktop anymore. So, I'll just have to appreciate the mod-free PS3 version.
Which, incidentally, is still pretty damn awesome.
Well, having never heard of the original, I found the sequel to be pretty damn fun.
Earth Defense Force: Incect Armageddon. Wasn't expecting much of a $40 budget game released in the summer dry spell, but I hadn't put more hours into a game since Fallout 3.
Holy hell, I remember that commercial and never made the connection!
Well, that sucks. I just got the multiplayer WORKING on my end (the connection on their servers here in Europe seem to be tenuous at best), and now they are going to divide the players between the haves and have nots. Same thing happens with any multiplayer game, really. It even killed Warhawk, which had a huge following until they split the player base every which way.

Damn it anyway. I am an American citizen, living in Spain due to the wife being stationed here via the US Navy, and run into this way more than I should. It is quite irritating tht I need to get a proxy server just to avoid this kind of crap. I'm looking at you too, Hulu.com.
If there is a good and fluffy lord out there, someone will take this technology and create a Firefly/Serenity MMO out of this.
I think the best representation of "Joker as Human" was in the Kevin Smith Run that he did.

After being captured and nearly killed, Batman makes the tough decision to save his life because he just can't let anyone die, even someone as dangerous and demented as Joker. After a long recovery (being stabbed in the heart will do that), he is also doped up on anti-psychotics to the point of relative sanity. Batman actually manages to have a conversation with him, where he admits that he kind of wishes Batman would have let him die, and that if he ever does manage to kill Batman that he'd probably retire from crime and hurting people (maybe by killing himself). And best line ever was something along the lines of "I don't hate you because I'm insane, Bats, I'm insane because I just hate you that much."

I will admit, I didn't realize that WASN'T Arleen Sorkin. I thought I heard something slightly off, but figured it was because Sorkin has been doing the voice for years and has just changed, as a person's voice tends to do over the years.
Just make sure to download the early release DLC "Anal Lube" pack first, or you may be hurting come tomorrow.
Necrophilia I've heard of, and while it creeps me out at least it's familiar in the lexicon of the perverse and wrong. But this is more undead porn, where the object of your desire is dead yet animated.
Just adds another dimension to something so completely screwed up already.

To be fair, it's hard to be level headed, even tempered, and objective when you house is now waist deep in radioactive water and your kid's hair is falling out. I don't blame them for being against it.
But the rest of us need to realize that nothing we build was likely to survive this kind of circumstances. When the earth decides to try and shake us off like fleas, we just have to do our best to hold on.

Well, that was a fetish I could have lived my life not knowing existed.

They upgraded the plant fairly often, actually. American reactors are running old stuff, to be sure, because they just aren't getting any more money. But Japan, as I understand, has a healthy fear of nuke power and tend to put money into safety.
As I said, sometimes Mother Nature is just going to tell you and your plans and safety precautions and fail-safes to fuck the right off.

I remember "not being allowed" to install and play Doom, Hexen, or any other number of games on the school computers. But since our computer teacher knew about as much about computers as she did about quantum physics, she didn't exactly ever catch us either. Homework done in seconds, we'd link up six computers over the printer network and blow each other to hell, alt-tab when she walked by to see "how our work was coming," and going back to chainsawing our friend's face off while he sat helpless as she walked by their computer.
Good times.
Somehow, I see this guy playing World of Warcraft in the same way. Someone walks in and he pretends like he's typing up a report and says that he'll be off in one minute, as soon as he is done with his "paperwork." Meanwhile, he's running a pickup group to whatever instance, and praying that the rogue doesn't pull too many and wipe the group so that he takes longer getting off the department PC.

Sadly, if the infamous "Horse Armor" were to be released today, it wouldn't have even caused a blip on most people's radar. It's just become common place.
Thing is, though, that Horse Armor was optional. With everyone buying this kind of thing, multiplayer becomes useless unless you buy it too. Just look what happened to Warhawk when they split their player base.

Not that I can blame the Japanese from being wary or scared shitless of nuclear power. I mean, just having the word "nuclear" anywhere near them must be terrifying, both from the cultural creepiness bred from the generations past that comes with having two cities erased from existence, and the latest terrible events.
But to put things into perspective, this latest event only happened after an unprecedented event. Though we know of earthquakes in the distant past that probably matched this, an earthquake of this magnitude had never been recorded by humans. Even then, the nuclear plant remained safe and without major damage. It took another huge event, the subsequent tsunami that again redefined how we look at mother nature, to finally knock the plant into disaster.
Maybe I can't blame Japan for thinking that maybe they should look for a different power source, but let's stop the worldwide panic that is going on right now regarding nuclear power and it's safety. It took not one, but two massive natural disasters on an unprecedented scale to cause this. Short of Ares, the god of war himself, coming down and throwing his mighty spear through the heart of the reactor, you couldn't have a worst set of circumstances colliding at once.
What I'm saying is that other nuke plants, built to Fukushima's standards, are probably more than safe. You cannot judge the safety of an entire industry by this one event, which is one of those perfect storm situations that sometimes happen in the course of human history. Like a comet strike. You can prepare all you can but sometimes it"s just not enough.
That said, I would love to see Japan lead the way in alternative green energy production. They are in the perfect situation and national mindset to really push the technology of wind generation, solar cell technology, wave and tidal generators, and even hydrogen production.

You may want to reread what I said in the post, big guy. The voice is horrible and jarring, but I didn't really care about the racism. I just wanted to kick at Detroit while it was down again.
This is quite racist, as I can confirm. You see, as a native Michigander, I can safely report that there isn't anyone like this in Detroit these days because NO ONE is in Detroit these days.
