  1. I have a new wish. I still have an xbox360 and I am not buying an xboxone.Most of the new games require over 4gb to play or xboxlive.

    I do not want xboxlive and my console is a 4gb version. I want to play a game without spending more money to do so.

    Ditto. My only console is an xbox360 4gb hard drive. I had xbox live but the few times I played on it I hated it because everyone I played against are muscle memory glitch b1tches.

     

    I wish they'd make one of three types of games again:

     

    Contra. Just shoot everything and try your best to survive. No life bars. No check points. No save points. No tedious inventory management or concepts like "ammunition conservation". Not every game needs to have 20 hours of cut scenes. No deep storyline. Just kill everything and save the planet. All you get are three lives and that's it. If you're lucky, you find a spread gun and don't die with it. You can bring a friend but it makes it harder not easier. You could use cheat codes, but you won't because it makes you feel like less of a man.

     

    Kingdom under fire: heroes. Good combination of mindless button mashing melee and strategy. Highly customizable and upgradeable military with high degree of freedom. Good balance between needing sound strategy to succeed, but also having more than ten ways to skin a cat.

     

    Might and Magic 6: mandate of heaven. Back when RPGs were good. All about character development and less about story progression. Stat min maxing. Skill point allocation. Lots of different equipment and ways to kit your characters with pros and cons to everything. High degree of freedom in the world, which was bright, colorful and beautiful. Simple gameplay, quick to learn, difficult to master the mechanics. No tutorials needed. The only storyline you get is a one minute movie in the beginning, that's it. Let the beautiful world before you stimulate your imagination. No need for cutscenes. Move at your own pace.

     

    Sigh. I guess I'm just old school.

  2. What about Afro-American? Is that still a thing? I remember that in school as a kid. It was even in textbooks, and was thinking it was silly to name a race of people after a fleetingly popular hairstyle in the 70s.

  3. Here are my thoughts on the case itself:

     

    The "confession" to having sex with his wife on such and such a date and place is unclear and inconclusive. He was clearly under duress by the investigator to incriminate himself, and gave muddled and unclear answers...proving nothing.

     

    The eye witness account of her roommate has credibility issues. First of all he didnt actually SEE anything. So what did he hear? Well...first he said the only thing he heard were sex sounds. What are those exactly? He needs to be more specific. Moaning? Bed rocking? No. He didn't say any of those things. He was old and senile to begin with, and changed his story to "hearing whispers". So who knows what happened. This guy doesn't have a clue. Because he lives in a nursing home. Duh.

     

    What about DNA? Well it proved his semen was in her body...but it's unclear for how long. They are married and have had sex numerous times. There was no physical harm to her body so not forced. All this proves is they had sex before, it doesn't even prove they had it on the night of the alleged rape.

     

    The only substantial evidence the prosecution has is the letter from her doctor stating she is unable to actually consent to sex, thus declaring any sex had nonconsentual. However, I think a good lawyer would rip the credibility of that letter apart. So little is known about the disease, it questions wether or not the doctor is actually in any position to make such a declaration. The article mentioned a differing expert opinion on the testing method used to make that determination. That expert said it's flawed...it tests short term memory, which has no impact on a person's ability to decide if they want sex or not. We are talking about her husband here, who, for the record, has been amazing to her in such a dark time in her life. He's not some random person. You need a lot more than a memory test to make such a bold declaration.

     

     

     

     

    After years of consensual intimate sex, I find it reasonable to assume that without a clear no, the answer is yes. Though I believe the complete opposite when it comes to non-committed individuals.

    Agreed. However the point here is, what if someone is suddenly unable to say no? Under your assumption, if that person was already married, it would essentially make them un-rapable. So, it's a lot more complicated here. Does a person have an innate right to sex in the first place? If so, wouldn't this scenario deny that right? If not, why not?
  4. You've got me there, but I would like to see more on who this " vast majority of legal thought and arguments indicate he is" exactly is. Personally, I think his argument goes against what I think the spirit of the law was intended to be, but it seems its going to take a Supreme Court ruling to sort it out.

     

    I see your point, but look at if from this angle: The spirit of the law is to prevent someone from infiltrating the presidency and performing his duties outside of the interests of our own country. I don't think anyone truly believes the purpose was to keep a pure American bloodline merely for the sake of purity bloodline. That could have been the rationale when it was written, but not it's true purpose. It was always a function of protection from infiltration.
  5. I was driving home late last night. It's pitch black. I take a sharp right turn to get onto my street, and I see a reflector light on the sidewalk bouncing around. I realize this reflector is on a dog...but I don't see it's owner at first so I slow the car to a crawl. Good thing I did that, because as the dog was on the sidewalk, this dumbass is walking down the middle of the street wearing a black coat, black pants, and being black skinned...I didn't see him AT ALL. I almost ran this guy over.

     

    The dog was smarter than the owner. I'm starting to think it was the dog's idea to wear the reflector tag.

  6. I have an uncle who used to smoke crack. Not sure if he still does, but around the time he did he got let go from his job, and hasn't done anything more with his life than cutting meat at a deli part time. He has been doing that for about fifteen years. He still lives at home in my grandfathers basement where he does god knows what. His teeth are completely rotted out, has no friends, no girlfriend, no life. He's depressed, angry, and miserable to be around.

     

    When he was in high school, before drugs got their stranglehold on him, he was great looking, had many girlfriends, was pretty athletic and very popular. Not the best student but had other talents. He was funny, happy, and a fun person to be with. Point is, he had potential and drugs just shut too many doors in his life.

  7. I catch an OT movie a couple times a year when it's on regular tv. If a PT movie is on I'll skip it. I might watch ROTS, but usually I find something better.

     

    I've noticed watching the PT with newbies and non-star wars fans require much more explaining to them than the OT does. The usual response to the explanations is either a confused look or a raised eyebrow. The OT makes much more logical sense to them.

     

    Here's a fun challenge: try to explain the plot of TPM to a complete stranger to star wars and have it make sense. then try to convince him or her that, based on your explanations, that Star Wars movies are good.

  8. Beth's death ranks above Dale's as being solely for shock value, purely to end the storyline with a death. At least most deaths on TWD don't come off that way. T-Dog's and Lori's deaths were surprising and unexpected, but still followed from the circumstances in which the characters were placed. Beth didn't have to die at all, but I think the producers and writers just decided to give us one because of our expectations and maybe even "tradition". I wasn't even that attached to Beth's character, certainly no more than Maggie seems to have been since the departure from the prison, but if you're going to kill a character off, at least do a better job.

     

    Looking forward to February now.

     

    I hated Dale with a passion, and besides being cute Beth was kind of useless and a bit annoying. I think the writers kill off people for different reasons; they killed Dale because he sucked so bad he had to die, and they just gave up on Beth, but not before they tried to make you care a little bit about her first by having her bond with the beloved Darryl for a bit.

  9. Oh, hey, if we're drawing up new-character wish lists, I would also like to see the show add a ninja warrior, a pastry chef, a professional dog trainer, three Patton Oswalt clones, and Benedict Cumberbatch playing a super-hero who's clearly smarter and more eloquent and much cleaner than everyone else but dies in ten minutes.

    You'd need the ninja and all three Oswalt clones on a full stomach fed by the pastry chef to even come close to murdering my boy Mr. Cumby.

     

    Why does everyone here hate him so much?

  10. It may sound like nit-picking, but a problem I have with maleficent is the fact that she's the only fairy that looks like a female vampire with devil horns. She LOOKS like a villain from birth, long before she went to the dark side. Then she gets screwed over by the future king and TURNS into a miserable, angry, revenge driven tragedy figure. The film made a point of this by transforming her kingdom in the marsh from a happy nature retreat to a frightening, hostile swamp. However, no transformation was made in her appearance. She looked evil the entire time, and I saw that as a continuity problem. I think she should have slowly grew horns over time.

     

    It would be like Anakin Skywalker walking around the Jedi temple in a darth vader suit with a red lightsaber in the prequels. Wouldnt make any sense.

  11. I'm genuinely concerned of the lack of attractive females now that Beth is gone. Maggie, although gorgeous in real life, doesn't measure up on the show. Michonne has a rockin bod, but she's too psychopathic and that hair makes her look like the predator. The Spanish chick that follows Abraham around is cute and dresses well, and has sexual experience in the apocalypse, but her character is so dull I can't even bother to remember her name.

     

    I think instead of giving our current ladies more screen time, they should add a new blonde (or possibly redhead) that looks cute and specializes in martial arts to dispatch her zombies. This would obviously bode well for her physique so she will look good, plus add possibilities in terms of new interesting zombie kills.

  12. *cracks knuckles*

     

    Hey idiot. He's not an elephant. He's not a half cyborg either. He's a full cyborg. Cyberdyne systems model 101. A cyborg has both organic and inorganic components. So if he's a half cyborg then what the fuck is the other half? Midichlorians? Sheesh what a dumbass.

     

    *remembers how trollish this forum used to be in the old days*
