My zombie hordes have overrun everywhere but Greenland. Soon it will fall to my undead army! Bwahahahaha!
How did they get to Madagascar?
They walked. And now the world is full of zombies. Santa attempted to stop me. Now he shambles like the rest of my horde. If there were any children still alive they would be weeping at the sight of him.
i was going into a convenience store a while back and as i was walking up to the door, a dude was walking out
i got to the door first, but it pulls my way, so i pulled it open and stood back and let him walk out before walking in
he gave me the weirdest fucking look, and i was like "what?" and he's like "why did you do that?" and i tell him because its polite and avoids awkwardly trying to figure out who gets to walk through the doorway first
he goes "whatever" and gets in his car and drives away
then i notice his michigan license plate, and i laugh

I wish I had some folk to play Dawn of Worlds with.
"what? you play lots of video games and you know stuff about them and you've worked on them and stuff"
"yyyyeah but i don't really call myself or consider myself a gamer. it's not a label i like or a community i want to associate with"
"...that... that doesn't make any sense."
"eh, whatever. there are people who are comfortable identifying themselves by some labels. gamer isn't one i use for myself, nor is it one i like applied to me."
Exactly, yeah. It's sort of like how I'm a flaming, flag-waving socialist about economic issues but feel kind of a distaste towards a lot of the stereotypical young liberal lifestyle of fair trade coffee and woo-woo new agey bullshit
agreeing with part of it doesn't mean buying into everything
But you're still a leftie. If being a leftie doesn't really mean you match dumb people's image it's got to be better to educate them and be proud of being you than saying 'I'm not a leftie' or 'I'm not a gamer' or 'I'm not a geek' or 'I'm not whatever'.
No?
but it's not other people's dumb image, posh. It's something I encounter for real all the time. people who buy into homeopathy and bad medicine because they have been inculcated with a conspiracy-theory view of the world. or people whose only books they own are things they heard about on NPR. they have been sold a set of lifestyle accessories to go with their taste in politics and fashion and I reject both the inauthenticity of it and the commodification of it. I don't want to live in a world where because I hold political belief X, I must watch TV show Y and buy the clothing brand Z. That's why I tend to gravitate toward iconoclasts and freethinkers, even when I violently disagree with them (like Hitchens).
also, there are things I am genuinely less left about than others. I don't really care much about gun control and I would like to see a middle of the road stance on immigration, for instance - I despise the racism from the right but I don't think people on the left talk enough about how the social displacements caused by mass migration feed that xenophobia, they just condemn the xenophobia. You can't lecture a dude who's just lost his job and his pension about how he should be less racist - that doesn't solve anything. Giving him a job and a better education so he feels less threatened would go a lot further.

Oh Michigan.
It's like the US's reenactment of a post-apocalyptic world.
some of my friends who don't really play video games at all are curious about starcraft 2 because a bunch of my friends who do play video games (but not me) are bananas for it and are talking about it all the time
so they are asking around and are like "is starcraft 2 good? would i like it? is it hard?"
and i can't give them answers with a straight face
Some of the GIS images make her look an awful lot like Katy Perry
That's completely uncalled for!
She's done at least one photo shoot in 50's style attire, which is something Perry's drawn to stylistically. Also, she pulls off a really good classics look and she knows it. I think she does it better than Perry, though the latter is the one with the real hard on for vintage.

Keep restarting until you begin there.

Trying bowing slightly. I do this kind of subtly-flourished bow to people and I've gotten some very interesting reactions.
That's completely uncalled for!

Maybe we can 1v1 and then talk about the replay over Vent!
I will craft your stars if you will have me.
PSN: Corbius
We could play Starcraft 1 >.>
MEET ME IN VENT, CORBS!
I could do this instead of Fallout.
And also a few other things.
