Actually, very boring interesting story about that! Way back when The Founding Fathers first went, OMG HAY YOU GUYS FREE LAND! and decided they needed a national bird, Benjamin Franklin was like, "HAY TURKEYS R COOL." And everyone else went, "Um... let's pick the bald eagle. They're majestic and whatnot." And Ben was like, "OMG BUT TURKEYS --" and then he got struck by lightning, so that was taken care of. I probably shouldn't write history textbooks, ever.
Ahahaha!! That's hilarious. Oh, Microsoft, you're such a wanker. Thank goodness the new Xbox actually works though. Brings a new meaning to the term video game violence -- it's not violence caused by playing video games, it's violence caused to video games and their consoles.
Definitely. Other people can save the world, I'll bring the doughnuts. There is no power on earth that would convince me to keep Spike in my basement, though. I love him on the show (well... I love second season Spike, when he still had his fangs and his girl) but I think it's one of those loves that works best at a distance. Hooray for pictures! And I totally want to encourage you to put up a picture of tiny!you, but I'm paranoid about putting my own picture up (that and I have no scanner, something I cry about on a daily basis -- I probably wouldn't mind putting up a photo of tiny!me), so, er, I don't feel like I have the right to encourage it. I'd love to see it though!
I WOULD NEVER BUY A FANCY NEWFANGLED HOUSE. I've seen all those shows, they attack you even before the AI invasion. Zombies! Brilliant. I'm curious what they suggest you do for that, too. Besides just not letting yourself be surrounded in a house, or go walking through a cemetary. Rap written by Shakespeare would be genius. It's a shame he's dead. Then again, it would probably be filled with innuendos anyway. Your university productions sound awesome; we have something like that here, except it's just Shakespeare outdoors. We don't have anything about Matrix parodies. Sigh.
I can't help it. Paperwork! It'd be awesome, though, if over the course of a game you did have to fill out paperwork and you get various choices as to what you put (X - "Suspect arrested;" circle - "I need more coffee;" square - "Suspect looked like a mentally challenged rabbit high on crack" triangle - "Screw this, I'm going home."), and then you saw that paperwork sitting on someone's desk later. And there were consequences. I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH. But it definitely couldn't be a game just about paperwork, that would be too much, even for me. And dude! Sketches for graphics would be really cool. (It could even be related to your level; the more levels you got, the less sketchy your characters would be. Er. I'll shut up now.) Depressing things about astronauts? Twisting quotes? I'm intrigued! OH MAN, REALLY? AUGH. HE HAS A FAMILY! That is awful. Does the dad say anything about James?
(It's understandable. I'm a bit frightened, actually, with how hardcore fanatical everyone seems here. I know there are a growing number of churches that seem to believe if you sing musical praises to Jesus, you're going to hell. Obviously, they have a more complete Bible than I do, one that says Jesus hates music and happiness.)
I don't understand the critics at all. They only seem to agree with my opinion 45% of the time. Random question: what's your favourite Disney movie? Where, you know, Disney means animated children's movie. (Guys who are dorks = yes. I love JD and Turk's relationship so much, and I don't slash them at all, even though the reason why I love it is because they are perfectly comfortable forcing each other to be naked for various reasons and sleeping in the same bed, etc. etc. I think just about everywhere has better gun laws than the States. And, you know, less crime. HMM. COINCIDENCE? Okay! Done with the mini-rant. I don't know if I've actually heard anything about Teh Ghey cities before. And no, never heard of AWA before!)
And now this comment thread is going to split into two as well! Oh dear.
