EDIT: I find it funny that I had to fix this...I typo-ed "people trying to blow him" instead of "people trying to blow him up."

Wow, they certainly mean different things, eh?

I forgot I took some printscreens the day they were posted. I made a montage because the quotes alone don't make justice to what really happened there.

If you think a character is cute. Say "She's cute". If you want to strap her to a table and violate her with Pez dispensers, say so. Then be prepared to take your lumps if somebody disagrees or thinks you need counseling/jail time.

I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help but laugh at this. I mean, honestly, it's just good (unclean) fun. Thanks Craeyst!

If you are on the list and it offends you.... suck it up.

abunai, I am honored Wink To know that I am on a list that sarcastically points at my non-sensical views, and that list still manages to crack a smile across my face. A lot of what's on that list is true anyway, but I enjoyed and have always enjoyed sarcasm against Zac.

Look first off my name isn't random letters. I've used hip new-age alternate spelling of the also innovative and revolutionizing term "dual-wielding" and combined it with a timeless character from Metal Gear Solid: the DARPA Chief. The rest explains itself, really.


I've never actually seen someone defend their use of leet speak and define it as "hip" and "new-age." Nor have I heard of someone describe dual-wielding as "innovative" and "revolutionizing." Until now, that is.

Well, it was, back when Drizzit was first put on paper. Now it's just a way to get 5-6 Attack rolls per turn. Although, Dual-wielding broadswords is even better then a holding a massive, double-bladed Axe for getting across "Huge wall of muscle that can crush stone in his bare hands, probably." I admit I've never seen someone dual-wield a human being, you'll probably need a cloning tank for that to begin with, but honestly it seems more silly than anything to me.

That's among melee weapons, of course. Dual-wielding handguns retains most of it's awesome, at least until you run out of ammo and can't reload. You can counter that- even, in some cases, up the awesome quotient- with a New York Reload, but that requires a large weapons budget to do regularly.

At the risk of going further off-topic, watch Equilibrium (if you have not done so already). It takes akimbo and auto-reloading to a new plane of awesomeness.

Skins are great.
If you're all alone.
But what if you're not?
Some of us read at work.
Some of us don't work at home.
Hopefully that explains why we care.
Instead of offering new subscriber skins,
Why not just get the basic skin set correctly?
Once that's done there will plenty of time for extras.

Wow, I actually agree with you. It was funny at the start, but just never seemed to stop. This was no Cape Feare-style rake scene; it just seemed like Zac was under the influence.

I'll second that. But then again, it seemed to please most people who read it.

Yes, but the part after that sounded more like a temper tantrum than anything else.

I don't know what was wrong with Zac and Justin this week, but they seemed really antsy. At least when tempest released that rather flawed survey recently, he owned up and accepted responsibility. Justin and Zac got angry instead of accepting that those people who complained had a point.
