...we're only flipping one coin.

Definitely the Black Adder Christmas Special.

Baldrick is such a card.

You could get a job as a professional opera singer. That way you'd have a reason to chop your privates off, testicles and all

The chance of getting heads up is still 50/50 no matter how many flips there are. It doesn't go down.

It would only go down if someone magically added more sides to the coin. (And from what I know, that's impossible.)

Lots of people understand that Jehova's Witnesses are not trying to force their religion upon other people - really it's just an indirect invite into their religion. Which is what religions do. Unfortunately, this often gets clouded by people's anger towards them for showing up at some ungodly hour to preach the way of Christ or whatever.

Now I'm not a Christian. I follow Darwin's evolution theory to the letter. I have absolutely no problem with other religions for any reason (save for terrorism, if that's what the majority of them do on a regular basis). However, I do get angry with religious followers who bitch that their religion is the only way and basically saying that everyone else can go fuck themselves if they don't convert. And
I'm not saying that you are one. I for one read your whole post and understand your point.

People can chop and change if it makes them happy (unless changing involves something like excommunication or something). If I was the leader and harbinger of some religious sect, I wouldn't care if one single person or even a group of people left.

Although what I don't understand is that....Christmas is a Christian holiday. It commemorates the birth of Jesus. Seeing a Jehova's Witness getting angry about his fellow followers celebrating it made me have a WTF moment for a second.
And on a humorous note, If all you get in your stocking is a lump of coal, don't go bitchin' to anybody.

Protip:

Cheer up. It's Christmas. We're all being merry and jovial with no cares for the future.
Myself, I don't give a rat's ass if I was told I would die in thirty years time. I've still got thirty years. So lets all party without a care in the world.

Nice poem... but Writing Forum.

Good thing I believe in the theory of evolution...

Indeed, R.I.P.

Really I can only think of one closing statement on this matter...

Fuck Microsoft.

Darn it. I made a comic for this thread, but it was a bitmap so I couldn't put it in.

Super Mario Galaxy won Wii GOTY didn't it?

I thought this up in my head as an introduction to a story of some sort. I decided to share it with you guys to see if it's good or not. I might continue it if I can be bothered.

Monotony can be a powerful force.

In the slow, drooping passage of time where nothing happens that anybody cares about or wants to hear about, something can spark up and put the situation on its flip-side. It could be great. It could be interesting. But most importantly, it could be detrimental to everyone involved.

Greg knew this all too well.

While he was standing on the sidewalk, waiting for his phone call to be taken off musical hold, the only thing that interrupted the foreboding silence was the tune blaring through the pay phone receiver.
"Para bailar la bamba...para bailar la bamba se necessita una poco de gracia..."
"Oh shut up."
Greg acted that his command would stop the music. He had nothing else to do while he waited. It was eleven in the afternoon and it was almost pitch-black with darkness. He was just itching for something completely out of the blue to happen any moment. It didn't. At least for a few seconds. Before he knew it, he was being accosted by a mysterious stranger wearing leather biker gear.
"Give me the telephone, motherfucker."
Greg was caught completely off guard. He didn't really know what to say, for fear of angering him. "Uh, I'll be done in a minute, jus-"
He was cut short when the man grabbed Greg firmly by his jacket collar and shoved him roughly into the concrete. The biker then turned to the phone and reset the number. He punched a few numbers and then held the receiver to his ear expectantly.

"Hey boss?"
"Yeah, I got the pickup in the garage for you."
"No, no problems."
"There was this guy on the phone, but I'll get someone to dispose of him."
"Alright."
"Four in the afternoon tomorrow?"
"Right."
"I'll see you then".
"Bye."

The biker then rushed off as fast as he arrived. Greg had managed to overhear the man's words even when dazed on the ground. He wasn't hurt that much - nothing a Band-Aid can't fix, he thought. What especially piqued his interest, however, was when the biker spoke of Greg's 'disposal'.

"Oh great. Now I'm in the mob's bad books on my rotten luck. Fucking hell."

He strode off to the police station, hoping that they had graveyard shift workers in their ranks.

So what do you think?

Some of the spiders on that list aren't even harmful. And the ones that are, I've only seen once or twice each.

And it was hiding under an old pot making some webs. No aggression or bites or anything.

I have never seen a wolf spider, house spider, funnel-web or mouse spider ever. Only huntsmen, redbacks, St. Andrew's Cross and whitetails.

Seriously, you're fretting a little too much IMO. Spiders are honestly not a big problem here (unless you have arachnophobia or something) and getting worked up over the anticipation of them is just wasting energy.

We don't have any tarantulas over here either.

With my brass knuckles, the most pain I would feel is simply internal bruising.

Although defecating a hand might be a bit difficult.

Examples here pl0x?

Wii only has the games made for 2010.

...Well, duh.

New Vegas being nominated for PC is a joke.

New Vegas kinda deserved at least a nomination. It definitely utilised the PC's specs to it's potential IMO.

Kingdom Hearts : Birth By Sleep not even making nominations for handheld is a goddamn joke.

Indeed, Birth By Sleep was a very good game.

Final Fantasy XIII getting any nominations is bullshit.

FFXIII was mediocre at best. Not bad, but certainly not GOTY material.

Obviously Black Ops will win GOTY and everyone will continue riding Activision's dick

I lol'd.

Bioshock 2 getting nominated for best shooter, wat

It may be just me, but I think the first was better than the second.

Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood only getting two nominations, fuck you

'Twas a very good game. I think that two nominations is a fair reward though.

How did Kirby's Epic Yarn get into best graphics?

You hit a nail on the fucking head there. Ever since that game came out, yarn is the new frigging cel shading! At least the game was half decent, but seriously!

Batman is a pile of shit

NO U

Where is my fucking Resistance 3, Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 2?

...they're all coming out in 2011. Not 2010. Maybe next year, mmk?

Fuck this shit this is all rigged garbage

THE PLOT THICKENS WITH UNCERTAINTY.

The Dante must die difficulty mode in DMC4 was completely watered down

Which is funny, because the Dante Must Die difficulties in the preceding games were batshit hard.

INCOMING TL;DR

This here is a tough debate.

I wouldn't strictly consider the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad/whatever to be a gaming platform, mostly because the creators of it intended it to be a multi-purpose phone. The games are essentially just a side product which utilises it's versatility.

Nowadays, the games on the iDevices have become numerous and enhancing of the machine's potential, so there would probably be a select few people who buy it simply because you can play games on it.
IMO, the bottom line is that the iDevices are not gaming platforms because they were not intended to be gaming platforms. They were mostly made to provide us with a phone/internet browser/song player/games player/every single other function it has.

The iDevice shouldn't be made to be a dedicated games platform, mostly because it's capabilities are a bit behind today's game consoles (give or take a few specs maybe).

I lol'd.

Very heartily.

Here's hoping this sets a fine example to any hackers who hear this story.

IMO, it's because that CoD and Halo were just popular game series to the people that do this sort of thing. Apparently, there were several tidbits in Halo: Reach and Black Ops that they had a very large axe to grind with for no reason whatsoever other than to find a reason to whine, bitch or actually make an important statement (which is very rare).

That and because these games were hyped to oblivion in the first place, so I wouldn't be surprised if sparks fly over something.

Super Obvious Question:

Have you even played the game yet?

I normally just say "I'm going to go to the toilet" but if I want to sound extra-pompous for no apparent reason, I say 'lavatory'.

Humorous terms are also applicable: Throne, poohole, dunny and any other one of those.

I don't say 'bathroom' because in my house, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.

I like Kingdom Hearts, though I've only played the console games because I don't own a PSP.

IMO, the story wasn't too bad, but even then I didn't pay too much attention to it anyway, so who am I to decide.

I thought up this username because my big brother would often call me a fish because I'm a Pisces.

It also explains my signature, which is entirely based upon different sorts of fish.

I picked light because blue is awesome.

Well, technically it could be a darker shade of cyan or something, but who cares.

I can crack a variety of joints. I can pop every finger joint on my hand (including thumbs) and I can crack my heels and toes. I can crack my neck (not fatally) and I can also crack my knees if I try hard enough. I can also crack my wrists.

Snap, crackle, pop.

I guess i could shove my spiked bracelet in your face...

I hate level 6.

Best metal cover of a song ever made. Period.

I only be asshole'y to people if they're doing the same thing to someone else.

If I do write hate text, I write it in a huge wall of intelligentsia-backed paragraphs.

I have chronic pantophobia, the fear of everything.

AHH, TEXT!

AHH, CAPSLOCK!

AHH! FEAR!

Ok, I don't, but that'd be pretty cool.
