some british kid called me fat and stupid because I was American over an IM conversation. I had some good laughs.
You know, because they sent over the best and brightest to get the party started...

"Nero brandishes Blue Rose, a unique six-shooter with a distinctive under-and-over double barrel, and Red Queen, a customized and meticulously embellished single-edged blade."
The gun is unique, not Nero. HE IS UNIQUE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
My bad, it was the sword it was referring to. "Nero's blade is as singularly unique as it's wielder." Page 14 of "The Art of Devil May Cry 4"

I was interested in that movie till I saw it starred Hayden Christensen.
Not only do I not want to see him in anything ever, I'd like to see him lynched.
Then maybe he'd learn how to emulate emotion

Sex in high school bugs me because I personally don't know anyone mature enough to handle it. A pretty good friend of mine just found out she's pregnant, even. Not good news. She's handling it as if it's a joke, though, so it's even more unsettling, and further proves my point.
Didn't you see Juno? This ALWAYS works out well for everyone involved.

The potential implications of having exclusive characters that are allied with good and evil, combined with the nature of the competing systems, just occurred to me.
Are we to assume that the 360 is good and that the PS3 is evil?...
...or that the PS3 was good but became evil?...
...or that the PS3 is inherently more powerful/cool than the 360?...
...or that the 360 is a Muppet?...
...or that the PS3 has a sexy black mans voice?...
...or that when all this is said and done, both systems will be dead, but will still hang around in spirit?...
Or that...
*wanders off rambling to himself*

The art book that Gamestop gives away to people who pre-ordered the game says flat out that Nero is unique.
I wonder why they think that?
I flipped through it last night; the only time they use the word "unique" around Nero is when they're talking about his gun.
Yes, but they use it in juxtaposition. Something like "The only thing more unique than Nero is his gun the Blue Rose". It can clearly be inferred, then, that they're asserting Nero's uniqueness. Much the same as Scorpion, Sub-zero, Ermac, Rain, Noob Saibot, and Smoke are unique characters with only cursory similarities. Than edge crusher lied to me. That makes me a sad panda.
My name is one word, a proper noun (and should thus be capitalized), and I do not lie.

Go with a Toyota Camry if it's your first. They get pretty good gas mileage and have pretty decent safety ratings as well.
Honestly though, any Toyota or Honda is a safe bet.

Twin Peaks was his masterpiece though.

When I first saw the publicity pics of him as the Joker I thought, "he looks like the Crow." Now, just like Brandon Lee, he's gone too soon.
The Dark Knight is currently in post-production. My hope is that, like The Crow, it will not only succeed in its own right but also stand as a memorial.

Shows I like:
- Aqua Teen Hunger Force - The Boondocks - The Brak Show - Carnivale - Dexter - Duckman - Entourage - Family Guy - Futurama - Harvey Birdman - Heroes - Invader Zim - Six Feet Under - The Venture Bros. - Weeds
A fair number of the shows on that list have been canceled, but I don't actually watch broadcast television, so they still count.

I'm not talking about Endgame, I'm talking about Highlander: The Source.
[spoiler]At the end of the movie: Duncan finds Anna in a clearing by a sandy pit, illuminated by starlight, as the cosmic convergence is happening directly over them. The Guardian surfaces and challenges Duncan. Duncan finds he has the same speed and power as the Guardian, and fights him. Finally defeating the Guardian, he taunts Duncan to take his head. Duncan refuses, and the Guardian vanishes, screaming, in a blast of light, exclaiming that he is "cursed forever." Duncan enters the Source, qualified to do so by his pure heart. In the Source, Anna reveals that she is pregnant with their child. Duncan declares "He is the one."[/spoiler]
The end.

Just got back from Cloverfield.
It was pretty decent, and did a good job of making NY feel claustrophobic.
Did anyone else find it ironic that the man with the camera was named Hud?

I never followed the show or the movies.
I DID see the end of the fifth movie at a friends place though, and I can say:
If THAT'S what this was all leading up to, I'm glad I'm not a fan of the series, because I would be #####ing furious.

That's exactly my point. If a big corporation screws you over, you can at least try and shrug it off by bitterly attributing the maleficence to the fact that it IS a big evil corporation.
When it's just one person doing it, it's a far more personal matter.
If I'm interacting with someone one on one like that, I much prefer it be in person.
That way, if they stiff you, you can hurt them.
