Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
It helps I've got over a dozen nephews and/or nieces are enough if I ever want to see children be adorable. Three specifically. The others pretty much suck.
If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.
I've decided that I actually really like children. It's the parents who I hate.
You're probably justified in feeling this way. I just think dumbshit parents are easier to tolerate than dumbshit kids, because at least the parents are old enough to know that it's not appropriate to scream at the top of their lungs because they're not getting their way. Most of them, anyway.
I felt this way before I became a parent, but now whenever I get barreled over by 150 pounds of yodeling toddler in the jungles of Walmart I can't help but direct the lion's share of my ice daggers at the sweats-clad baby factory waddling along in tow.

I don't mind kids. I mean, my mom ran a nursery/day-care out of our house during my formative years so they hold very few mysteries for me, but even so I think they're pretty cool. I also cannot pass up the chance to mold a mind in my own terrible image.
I know I'd make a horrible parent, because my natural instinct in dangerous situations is always to see how it'll play out, even if I know it'll play out horribly.
I'm sure if I had children they'd end up being accidentally maimed or killed because of it.

Well, if I ever had kids, they would just be exercises in Asian academic overachievement. Music lessons start at the age of 4. If they can't do long-division by the age of 5, I will have to disown them and start over.
If you were ukranian you don't disown them till after they have been discovered to be a prolithic gun runner and gotten their sibling killed in the process.

I really love playing peek-a-boo with babies, when they find it amusing. I could keep doing it for an hour, without getting bored.

Sadly I think only I will get that joke.

I'm occasionally frightened by how much of a dick I am sometimes. Like I'll ego search and read something I wrote weeks or a month ago and go "Jesus Christ, if someone spoke to me like that in person I would break their fucking neck."

Woo! I just watched that again on sunday, I think it's a good movie with a message. I mean who doesn't like an opening that has a young child taking a bullet to the head.

See I'm getting to an age where I actually have nieces and nephews and my friends and coworkers are having kids and I'm seeing how much behavior is perpetuated by the parents. I just came to the realization the other day when I was at the bank, of all places, and tying up the line were two parents who brought both their kids with them into the bank - one was a toddler and the other an infant. The infant was screaming his little head off while the toddler was running around hitting his toy car against every available surface, and the parents just didn't seem to give a fuck and were just going on with business as usual. And I though, "Why doesn't my nephew act like that?" and i realized, "oh yeah, it's because my sister will tell him to sit down and shut up or else you're going to get paddled, young man!"
I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

I'm serious, though. Who tries to talk to a teller about opening a checking account while holding a screaming baby two feet from the teller's face? What kind of brain damage makes you think that's acceptable behavior?

My brother and sister in law has the same method as your sister. My sister and brother in law told their son to use his big boy words and he's a whiny brat. I fail to comprehend how two teachers are screwing that up.

Well, sometimes there's just no helping it. Try to remember that next time you can't find someone to look after your kids while you absolutely must go out to run errands, and people give you dirty looks.

I dunno, maybe it's that we venerate babies and parenting to such a ridiculous degree, but yeah: parents today seem unable or unwilling to discern the difference between where it's appropriate to be accompanied by infants/kids and where it isn't. I was fucking appalled a few weeks ago when my friends and I went to a reasonably pricey restaurant and the people next to us had about five kids crawling over, under, and around every table in the wing. I was like seven before I so much as saw the inside of a restaurant that wasn't a McDonald's or Wendy's.

That's the other thing: most of the time it's the parents, but some kids really are fuckups, or have chemical imbalances or god knows what else. That's what terrifies me most about the prospect of parenting.

There's a babysitter who's never busy, even on short notice, and her name is Benadryl.

It was an easy joke I had to go for it.
I like them when they're being adorable, I hate them when they're pooping.

Yes, the secret to success in life is to go for the low-hanging fruit

Don't lie, you posted that picture from Halloween, you're like 6 feet tall.
Sadly I think only I will get that joke.

Watch the videos.

Have you considered a career in, uh, daycareology? Because honestly, this is a valuable skill.
