If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Ferrari Virtual Race feels limited. It feels like the small amount of content in it was meant to encourage players to make their own cars and tracks for the game considering that the Game Engine for it looks rather solid.

EDIT: Essentially, like R Factor. If that game and FVR are comparable at all, then I should probably get R Factor, considering that I like mods for games.

In set theory, a set A is transitive, if whenever x ∈ A, and y ∈ x, then y ∈ A, or, equivalently, whenever x ∈ A, and x is not an urelement, then x is a subset of A. Therefore, political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Also, I had a personal revelation about cyberspace, which this margin is too narrow to contain.

Signs have always fascinated me for some reason. And not just road signs, either.

When I was a child, I MS Paint'd up a lame drawing of a storefront, printed it out, and then cut it so that I could change the signs on the storefront by slipping different strips of paper in and out.

Mindscrews in fiction are a great opportunity to be befuddled and and WMG. People whose analysis of situations seems to be irrational, less so.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

Haha no Zudak, this is journalism:

I'm surprised those guys at Paramount kept this show on as long as they did. It was pretty daring in its scoops and no network, hell, no other syndicator woulda picked this up, ever.

^^Hard Copy. 90s infotainment show. One of Inside Edition's progeny of the era (in fact, that's the only one of those shows that's still around)

It's about Charlie Sheen, so I'm not going to bother reading it.

  • Coming up with a plausible/historically accurate system of runic magic that can be used in combat is more difficult than I thought.

Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.

I also have this problem. Currently investigating Icelandic magical staves.
