I was watching an online video when they mentioned something very weird. BTW, apologies in advanced if this is in the wrong area. They're going to have something like a Surgeon General Warning that you see on cigarettes on M-rated video games. The U.S. rating as we have now notes the rating of the game, E, AO, T, M and a few others, in the right bottom corner. And on the back they have the rating again with notes on what is in the game to have the rating. Now, they're going to have it like cigarettes where it has a warning on what could happen on the affects of playing a M rated game on the box itself. Personally, I am against kids buying M-rated games, I don't think it's a good idea and I think they can wait a few more years to get it. But I find this hilarious in the context that they're doing this to stop the "video game violence" that is PLAGUING the nation. And note, I do not believe violence in video games causes any kinds of shooting. Before the torches and pitchforks come out to hunt me down. :p Reading further, this is actually a bill in Congress coming up. Seriously, this is a bill they're going to vote for in Congress. At least all that money I could be using to get a better life is going to good ol' POS things like this when I pay my taxes.
CD-I, btw... He is good, I think he slides way too far sometimes. And his humor is a lot more crude than I like sometimes. I loved the Castlevania series dedication he did. That was amazing and got me into the series. Also the most recent Legend of Zelda II was an excellent video. Especially the ending. I'm waiting impatiently for the 100th video, I hope it's E.T.
HAPPY WINTERENMASS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!1 A tad bit late, but you can still celebrate. Whether it's sitting in front of a computer for a MMORPG or a FPS, or sitting with a handheld or a good old controller in your hand, there's always time to celebrate the holiday for gamers. I've spent my time playing Chrono Trigger and nearing the ending. :)
I loved how he did the whole villain for Secret of NIMH 2, I nearly cried from laughing so hard. I do have to agree sometimes we don't see eye-to-eye. I loved Free Willy as a kid, though he said it wasn't terrible, it wasn't good either. I think he should post more of a warning when he does movies like: "Secret of NIMH 2", to be honest. I think my brain exploded during that review. lol...
I asked Mist where I should post it and she said here, so here it is. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic This guy is really funny. His humor can be crude and very adult sometimes, but most of the time he'll make you laugh. He also does the movies I grew up on, so I get a kick out of listening to him review them. He does some really good movies, too. Movies he's reviewed: Quest for Camelot, Neverending Story 2 & 3, Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, Batman and Robin, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (all movies and cartoon), and several others. He has well over 100. WARNING: He does have a lot of adult humor added in. Sometimes it can get gross, but most of them time it's some adult humor mixed with regular and parodies during his videos. You have been warned. Anyone else watch him?
I was deeply sad to hear of these events when I got home from work today. My prayers and grief go to the victims and their families. *bows head for moment of silence*
That was 200 years ago. If you haven't noticed, things have changed in 200 years. We're in a lot more violent society than we were back then. Even if we totally don't ban guns, we shouldn't have ANY, ANY gun in a household with a mentally ill person. I don't care which family member owns the gun, it shouldn't be in the house. During high school, I dated a schizophrenic. He was actually a nice guy, he was a gentleman and very kindly. But especially when doctors were screwing around with his medications, he would go and start looking at swords and knives and talk about the ways he could murder people with them. A very nice guy, but he had the moments where he scared me with his talk. He eventually broke up with me to sleep with another girl, but I digress. The thing is, he was one of the nicest guys I ever dated. Hell, the second nicest guy I ever dated, and yet if he hit the right mood, he'd be talking about killing people in different horrible ways. The thing is, I wouldn't trust him with a weapon like a gun in the house. He tried to hook up with later on, but my parents refused saying they feared for my life with his stability. Here you have a guy who has schizophrenia who might not be on his medication or not have any medication who has access to the weapons to kill people. It doesn't matter how hard you lock away those guns, it doesn't matter who buys those guns, the person now has access to a weapon that he can murder people easily with. Like my parents or the boyfriends parents buying my ex-boyfriend that sword or even worse, a gun, he now has a weapon he can use to murder people with if his mood hits the right point. It's a very scary thought in a very scary country.
Yeah, me and the previous owner Deathspank spent a month working on this site before we opened it. We had an older one, but it was decided this...
Eh... As long as it's optional, I'm fine, but I agree with Kubo... The computer would lag completely with such an amount to load, especially for people with dial-up. And yes, there are most likely people still with dial-up.
Sweet Bloody hell... *reading Aries, my sign8 Maybe I should believe in this stuff, this is almost exactly what I'm like. Well, except for a few things. That's awesome.
I'm a Pisces. I have no idea what I was before, so I really don't care. lol... I heard about this on the early news today and I thought they found a new constellation or something, not a whole gravitational pull. Huh...
It's that, too Patman... But the thing is, and I agree the gun laws should be changed... And the question of this debate is... "Did the actions/words of politicians cause this shooting?" In the last decade, politicians, on both sides of the parties, mind you... Have become more and more aggressive. Doing anything to win, I remember George Bush Jr. himself attacked McCain's character and shredded him to pieces, a good FAMILY FRIEND, mind you, to win against him in 2000. I've seen it going on for several elections, and my point is, if you bring out the crazies to rallies with guns and do the attack ads that are shown by Sarah Palin and others, you are going to end up with an Arizona shooting. I agree, gun laws should be changed to keep people like that shooter from getting them. It should be more thorough on the background checks and everything else. And I don't care if a family member owned the gun and not him, if a person is that unstable, there shouldn't be a gun in the house. Like leaving matches laying around or around kids so they can start a forest fire. I have seen it happen before with kids who get their hands on matches. No matter where you hide those matches, it takes once for the kids to see them to get it, same with a gun, and this was a 20'ish man. Back to politics, things need to change to stop another tragedy from happening, especially these campaigns that make it sound like the best way to beat your opponent is to kill them.
Lets go into the minefield of politics. It's always fun for everyone with fighting from both sides. I honestly, honestly... Get the torches and pitchforks angry mob out there, think that the right wing has gone too far in a lot of ways. If it was democrats, I'd say the same thing, and I'm a blue-blooded Democrat. They're doing this for votes and attention, and the thing is, the thing that really pisses me off, is that the press is eating out of their hand with this going on. So that gets them more attention, more votes, and they do it more. Sarah Palin 20 years ago would have every single press member bashing her skull in the way that she talks about them. It used to be if you spoke rudely or treated the press in any bad way, your carreer was over. I remember doing a project for a business that screwed the press over for the millennium and they shut the place down in less than two years. That was in England in the year 2000. It was the same with EuroDisney, it was the same with any political member 10-20 years ago. Now, the more you throw gasoline into the fire, the more you do to stir up all the angry mobs out there, the more the press follow you like lost puppies. No matter what party you're at, bringing in people who carry guns to rallies and call the president, no matter what his party/race/religion and everything else on the planet that people nitpick over is, the devil, which is the nicer words they have spoke about Obama, will end up with someone dead or a shooting like this. I do agree Sarah Palin and others have caused this, not directly, and they won't be held responsible for it, but they have caused it. The fact that the last election had Giffords a close race against a Tea Party member confirms it. The bullseyes ads, for anything, be it churches, hospitals, political members, random pieces of land that people think need to be blown up for the hell of it is going to have something happen. At some point, like it has happened before, now and in the future, someone will consider that an invite to go on a rampage. The Tea Party, Republicans are bringing out these angry mobs. Again, if it was democrats, I would be saying the same thing. When you have an angry mob, especially if you throw a few nuts in there who are already having mental issues, something is going to happen. It's a psychological effect that causes a few people in a group to make it that kind of mob. Hitler and several other people were gifted at getting a group like that with the right words. Put a someone like Sarah Palin or some other republicans saying get rid of kill or do God-knows what else to their competitors, you get a shooting like this at this point. In my final words, if it was any party, I would be saying this, and right now, I'm saying the whole thing, even if Sarah Palin or anyone else in the U.S. is causing all this craziness to happen, I would say it needs to stop. And I don't care how insane someone is, or even if he's the complete opposite in everything of Sarah Palin, you don't bring out the insanity, point out where your enemies are, or who you want to get for your own fame and glory, and not expect something as tragic as the Arizona shooting. Now excuse me, I'm going to start packing to move to Canada because I'm starting to be scared of living here.
Fanfiction.net too... Dear God, I can't get a second's peace now on that frigging website. *to Misty's comment* About Zuckerburg, if he is closing it, he might have the attitude: "If I can't have it, no one can." He can also most likely retire comfortably and have his children's children never work off the money he made. He sounds like an ego case of all ego cases from what I heard about him. I don't use Facebook and am strongly against it, so I really don't care.
We're also in the middle of a recession, there's not many jobs for even people who are experts in different fields. One thing that did upset me during this whole story was the mother's reaction. Yes, granted, he most likely put her through a lot of grief through his homelessness and alcohol and drug problem. But on live television she tore him to shreds on how humiliated she was about the sign he held to get the fame that pulled him out of the situation he was. She ripped into him the whole time and tried to make herself look better in the process. For me, that would be completely and utterly humiliating to see your mother after twenty years and see her publicly humiliate you like that on live television after you also just started to change your life around. The only downside, in my POV, about the whole story.
Ted Williams, a homeless beggar held an interesting sign for any driver passing by. He's spent the last two years in a tent after quitting drugs and alcohol that destroyed his life. A poster for youtube out of sheer curiosity stopped and gave him a dollar to hear his voice, that was Monday January 3, 2011. This is what started it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6kI_u3ho_c&feature=related In these five days after, he's gone from a homeless beggar with no job to a national celebrity. People are asking him to do commercials, work as an announcer for a basketball team, and several others. He's been on the Today Show, John Carson, and today, has reunited with his mother after twenty years. I found this recent article about it: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2011/01/ted-williams-sudden-fame.html This is a Cinderella story, and it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. Comments, thoughts?
lol... Yeah, me and Deathspank didn't see eye-to-eye a few times. FEAR MY OLD POWER!!!!!! :p It's good to not have it anymore. Though I miss it sometimes.
I did install another cliff. :p Using my admin powers, it's three feet high.
Ah... I used to have a nobody name in an old forum, thought you were part of it, so I thought that was it. *waves it off* It was a real holiday, I heard about it today on tv.
*pets KH-Vids* Nope... KH-Vids. :p God, I haven't heard that name since.......... Um.......
