Still playing UMvC3, and I sincerely wish Phoneix would stop being a useless shit. I also wish I would stop accidentally activating combo specials that don't actually affect Galactus.
^^Go for the tail, and try to take one out as fast as possible.
Good idea? Y/N
Do it.
Helped my mom cook a dish we had this Christmas. It's scallops and shrimp in a cheese sauce. Was really good last time. It's in the oven now.

And we thought Chagen was bad.
ah, internet retards.
Jesus Christ, it's absurd how accurate the comparison to Eric Cartman was.
People like him make me wonder if freedom of speech is worth it.
Most people who cite freedom of speech forget about the part where other people have rights too.
^^The first amendment doesn't protect hatespeech. I'd qualify this as hate speech.
Charming guy.

I know, I know. :C

Fair enough. My comment-joke-thing was pretty stupid, I apologize.
sometimes, I think that comedy in the form of Eric Cartman et. al has done more to enable the expression of bigoted thought than most actual bigots.
It's okay, Capcom, it's not like I was gonna use that $60 for anything important.
Kingdoms of Amalur takes a moment to poke fun at the density of lore in itself and in similar games, with a nine-page book on chickens. This game is awesome.
Tonight I had to explain to someone that the Ancient Egyptians did not enslave the Scots and how that was actually pretty much impossible.
I hate comic shops sometimes.
Wait, what? Why would anyone think that?
Okay, here we go.
It started with a discussion on Highlander and how the very Scottish Sean Connery was 'Egyptian' in that movie. This guy (who was not part of our play group and just hang around until I left in frustration) insisted that because the Egyptians had slaves they obviously had Scottish slaves.
When things like climate, distance, and the fact that there were no Scottish people at that time were brought up he mentioned the 'teutonic plates' and how at that time Scotland was close to Egypt.
I...buh...wha...
-headdesks-
At least you argued it out with him; I probably would've shaken my head and left the conversation as soon as the initial statement was made.
Later in the evening, after I shared my theory that Vincent Price would have been a perfect Doctor Strange, the guy said that he still could be if we used 'digital restoration' just like they did with Humphrey Bogart.
This was an incredibly frustrating evening.
I'm not even going to go into all the inappropriately sexual comments he made, and when I say this is inappropriate, I mean they were inappropriate by the standards of a game where I carry around a gun called the Hot Boner.
^I eventually got so frustrated I left because he just wouldn't see logic. As soon as the digital restoration comment was made I stood up and left again.
Would it be mean for me to guess that there's some sort of developmental disorder at work?
That was my guess as well, but according to the other players he had served in the military so...
Huh. Reminds me of this series of stories I read part of, that was told by some guy called 50 Foot Ant over at Something Awful. But, uh, yeah, there's something wrong with this picture.
EDIT: Yup, the Adventures of Fatback and Stan. Here's the first thing I found, and it's far from the worst.
Shit like that honestly makes me feel bad. I don't like getting angry at people just for being ignorant or dumb but it just got to a boiling point.
The tricky thing about mental illness discrimination is that the person looks perfectly functional, so you're inclined to treat their behaviour as merely deviant. And perfectly normal and smart people can fall for falsehoods after all.
Though I guess it also says something about me that I initially thought "conservative" and "uneducated" when reading that. Considering how Arabs tend to be (misleadingly) portrayed in Western culture, that didn't surprise me too much.
Is this Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning?
