I am scared to wear other people's clothing. Like lets say my I totally stain my shirt before a party. Wear my friends extra shirt? No way. I'm going with a giant stain.

I'm not really scared of that but I wouldn't do it. My size is hard to match anyway, tall and skinny. XL and smaller shirts look ridiculous on me and XXL sometimes is too fat (but the right length). XLT is my size but a hard one to find. But ya I won't wear anyone's clothes either.

Fears

Car accidents, probably because I just recently got my car fixed from my first one and I was lucky it wasn't totaled (but unlucky I had to pay for it from my pocket).

I also have a fear of low ceiling fans for a good reason.

Ok so those are kinda rational fears. My irrational fear i guess is meteors hitting the earth.

I'm deadly scared of moths.

Fears
The colour orange... I don't know why but it just totally freaks me out man! It's ugly, it's stupid, it's useless, it's not cool, and overall it's an unpleasent colour. >:(
The worst part is NG has so much orange... everyday when I long on I'm risking my own well being. :(

I also hate small spaces. Simular to those in padded cells. I hate the feeling of confinement. Makes me want to smash stuff up. :3

Ice Cream Trucks.

Back when I was a kid, there was a nasty tropical storm. I remember being home alone for like the first time, and it was just pouring and thundering outside. And then, for like, 15 minutes, all I could hear was an ice cream truck driving back and forth down the road, and it sounded like it was so close. I'm still uneasy of ice cream trucks to this day, it was just so bizarre.

Ice cream trucks are weird. I used to live in a less than spectacular apartment complex in a questionable neighborhood and there was an ice cream truck that would play it's music in the middle of the night. I don't know what they would be selling in the middle of the night, but I doubt it was ice cream.

Fears

Meeting TCD in real life. Jk </3

I am deathly afraid of fears. No joke either. I actually fear being scared of something, I don't know why.(I'm not crazy)

Snowboarding

Finally got out the slopes today, conditions weren't terrible, but weren't great either. My legs kinda hurt now though. And I hit a little kid who cut me off and his parent yelled at me :(.

Haha, glad I'm not the only one that finds them odd. Further adding to my complex was a year shortly after that when I was trick or treating, some guy thought itd be funny to drive around in an ice cream truck dressed like a skeleton calling some girls name through the trucks megaphone. Looking back, it was just a Halloween thing obviously, but those two things so close together, well, I think I'm damn near lucky I dont have a paralyzing fear of the damn things.

I have a completely rational fear of alligators. My brother-in-law wrestles them... he's insane.

Several years ago while visiting my mom in Florida, she and I were fishing in a canal behind a friends house. The water was probably 4-5 feet below the edge of the retaining wall. We got bored and headed back to the house (like 15 yards, if that). As we got to door I glanced back and there was a gator laying right where we had been standing! I was like... HOLY SHIT! We didn't even hear it jump out of the water! It coulda eaten us!

I've had many a nightmare about them... faces of death style with several consecutive clips of random and not so random people getting attacked/killed.

On a more humorous note: You Suck At Photoshop!

Nobody cares about a majority of things we post in this topic. Example, I don't care that you're afraid of bears and you don't care that I am afraid of drinking because I don't like losing control of myself.

Fuck, I answered your question

Also, It's only two games. Both i look forward to, but my life doesn't REVOLVE around them... much... Honestly, it's just the social lique I grew in. I was a nerdy, outcast kid who found a Gameboy and embraced his ability to move pixels on a screen. I can wish to be an artist like you all I want, but I'll always fall into my roots.

I blame my literacy on Pokemon. I was the only 6-year old in my school who knew what words like "guillotine" and "evolution" meant.

Funny indeed. Certainly beats that almost pornographically wretched armorgames.com video someone posted about a couple days ago. Man did that suck.

Stuff.

Cloverfield

Don't worry, I won't say any spoilers. I saw it tonight because I couldn't really stand seeing the trailer twice a commercial every commercial without knowing what the fuck the "thing" was. I saw it for that reason, and because J.J. Abrams is a rad dude, as annoying as Lost can be sometimes.

The movie was pretty good, but nauseating at points with the pseudo-amateur camera work. I overall enjoyed it, and it definitely was entertaining. There were, of course, quite a few parts I could do without (Sappy love story (ugh) and comic reliefness) but the story and ideas behind it were pretty sweet.

I'd suggest seeing it, but perhaps not exactly paying for a movie ticket, as I'm sure it's all over the internet now. It wasn't great, but it was cool. At least...

That's all I have to say.

Happy Birthday Luis.

Also, Cheek, where did you go skiing? I went to Okemo earlier this week and it was rad.

Cloverfield

I dunno about you Senti but I thought this movie was really good. Good in the sense that it was a departure from all the other shit infested monster movies like AVP and even some others that just came out recently. This movie will probably be remembered as a classic because it's so different from all the other monster movies out there and that it's legitimately scary at points, not just filled with gore to make up for not being scary. It doesn't rely on pop-outs either, it's really suspenseful and it feels like you're right there holding the camera. That whole part in the street with army shooting the rockets and stuff at the monster was awesome, I felt like I was actually in the movie, something that doesn't happen all that much anymore. All in all it's a great flick, but one thing that kind of does piss me off is that the movie's come under fire from a lot of critics for being really explicit in the 9-11 references. Whatever, it didn't really bother me at all during the movie, I only really started to think about it after I read all the reviews talking about it, it's too bad that's all they can base their reviews on and not the movie itself.

Cloverfield

I found it to be something new and refreshing. I know a lot of people were complaining about the camera-shake and auto focus deal but I thought it really added to the experience. It really does feel like an actual documentary that someone recorded on their personal camera. For the most part, the acting was pretty good as well. It's definitely one of those movies that inspires you to create your own storyline in your head. I definitely recommend it.

I think I'll go see it with my mates next week, I've been intrigued by that movie for over half a year. Although I have the feeling it's just a Godzilla remake with Blair Witch Project camerawork.

Fears
Last night I was afraid of falling asleep. I was a little too drunk for my own good and I have the nasty habit of getting pretty sick whilst I'm asleep after drinking too much. Headache's not bad tho. Apart from that, there's not that much I'm afraid of. I don't really like spiders because a pretty big one crawled out of my jacket when I was 7 or 8. The thought that an army of spiders could be hiding in my clothes, waiting for the ultimate moment to kill me scared me shitless.

Fears

Getting in a car crash while drunk (as a passenger, ofc). It's not like I'm cool with the idea of a car crash at the best of times, but in a situation like that you have enough crap to worry about without a big lump of metal being driven into your torso.

I also get a bit agoraphobic if I'm in a big place like a supermarket or a crowded open day for too long. It generally happens far less when I'm somewhere outdoors with fresh air, too. It's not like it's disabling or anything anyway, but I get short of breath and really anxious, and end up with a real urge to find somewhere quiet to sit down. It's pretty awkward on the few occasions when it happens when I'm with people and really need to get somewhere quiet for a bit without seeming like a dick.

Fears

Well I'm pretty scared of heights sometimes, and flight is pretty terrifying in my experience. I just hate it when there's trubulence and you look out the window to see the wings wobbling like they're gonna snap...

I went to Kissing Bridge in Colden, NY. It isn't exactly a great park, I prefer the more southern places, like Holiday Valley and some in NorthEast PA.

Never been to Okemo, maybe I'll hit it next year one me and my friends east coast ski trip. We're gonna take a week in Febuary and hit 7 places in 7 seven days..

Blair witch got nothin on this. Godzilla for that matter too. The camera work didn't really bother me at all, although one of my friends was bitching because he hates shakycam like the Bourne series. It's definitely worth checking out, I had a feeling it wasn't gonna be too good but it definitely lived past my expectations.

Fears
Spiders I guess? I used to have this childhood fear of getting left behind but that's kind of gone away now.

Older than old.

Dell

I've renewed my hate of Dell recently. I've wanted to get COD4 for a while now, thinking oh, maybe I'll be able to run it on low, since I have 2 gigs of RAM. Well, as I found out it has integrated GFX, which means it takes loads of my RAM to render the 3d effects. Then as if being pissed about that wasn't enough, I find out this motherboard has ONLY PCI SLOTS. So the best GFX card I can get came out about 3 years ago, plus in order to get it I'll need to boost my power supply.

tl;dr FUCK YOU DELL

.... never try the 58 song setlist...x_x

My "band" just completed it on hard, it took us 6 hours with a couple hour breaks. My fingers are numb, my throat hurts, and I can't close my eyes without seeing colorful frets flying by in my mind. Then all we got was a 10 second cutscene of them bowing, and my icon is gold now. We also got a couple achievements, but I'm not even sure what those are for. Oh well, at least it was fun. If anyones gonna try it, make sure you've got lots of stuff to drink, a nearby restroom, and lots of time. Specially if you're not all that good and might fail a couple times. Good luck to any attempters.

How's that Dell's fault lol, you shoulda read up on your system specs son!

I think as far as the mainstream PC companies out there, Dell's not that bad. My main rig is a Dell.

What kind of car is it, my brother got an 06 Jetta, the first day he got it and I stepped inside, it smelt so good, and now it's just a car. lol.

It's an '01 Isuzu Rodeo, just repaired from my accident

Oh, so it's not exactly NEW but it smells like a new car. I get what you mean and man, I hate when you get the car and it smells so great, then like, 3 weeks after it smells like nothing but the air freshening stuff you hang from the rear view mirror.

Fears
I don't really have much fears, but when I watch a horror movie before sleeping I think of it a lot when trying to get to sleep, and that kind of keeps me up a bit, especially sleeping in the basement of my house, which I think may be haunted, I usually hear noises in the basement, But I am never sure what is making the noise, but I have survived sleeping down there for about half a year now so I should be good haha.
