The Gaming Den

I am strangely disappointed that your blog isn't actually titled Outspoken Ramblings.

Ever since my old group parted ways I have yet to find other gamers whose company I can tolerate for extended periods of time.

That is until said resources run out ;) Which isn't yet.. but if your economy is built on strip mining and deforestation..eventually that shit will run out. It isn't. There's also oil (we have the third largest oil reserves in the world, second if you count the Alberta oilsands), fishing, our massi...

The Canadian economy is heavily resourced-based, which explains our reasonably sustained prosperity.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that was how it worked, but Neeek phrased it in a way that scared the intestinal slush out of me.

Actually, you are simply unable to read very well. If you commit genocide, you've committed a crime in the United States. The United States' ability to prosecute you for your genocide is limited to their being able to have custody of you. You not getting the difference between jurisdiction and enfo...

Fair enough. So the EU will be completely hooped for decades then, I take it.

It was Roy. The only thing he wanted to accomplish was making a fool of himself.

This is unfortunate. Any speculation on what will happen if/when the EU economy completely tanks? I recall someone (Mr. Trollman, I think) mentioning that the EU was established in the first place as some sort of neighbourhood watch against Russia. Is it possible that Russia might step in, pay off e...

Because nobody likes to go to the supermarket and find out that everything is more expensive? I mean, one thing that people *do* get is when their money is buying them less stuff. So increase wages. If the money is worth less it doesn't matter if you pay people more so that they can afford to live ...

So, your solution to fix education is to get rid of it. Nice! I think their solution is to completely privatize it, which would pretty much be the same thing, since many Americans would not be able to afford it, which would lead to their children getting into all kinds of trouble and lacking the ed...

Maybe the 0.1% use their influence to paint inflation as being worse than it is.

If I used a composite longbow with a STR minimum higher than my default, I'd take penalties using it when my strength buff ran out. ---------------- Here's the partially finished character. Got distracted midway through by Skyrim, and I'll probably finish early tomorrow. http://www.myth-weavers.com...

Well, if the European Union's economy goes up in flames because of ECB shenanigans then the Occupiers can use that to their advantage by saying "That could be us! We've got to stop that from happening to North America/The U.K.!"

Today I learned that the only thing more hilarious than a kitten is a kitten stoned out of its gourd on painkillers.

No no, DSMatticus, what we SHOULD actually do is make all fertilization done by implantation. That minimizes the chances of people losing eggs. Of course we'll do it one at a time and feed women a cocktail of fertility drugs, but it's worth it for the pweshus babiez, right? Anyone who reproduces th...

I have met exactly one female lawyer and she wasn't "hot" in even the loosest connotation of the word. Great sense of humour, though.

A movie about Kevin Siembada would be fucking insane.

Is it really necessary to pwn me right now? I'm just curious, I thought what I said was mostly harmless. You don't have to take everything personally. Sometimes people like to brag about their erudition without wanting to rain on your parade at all. To be fair, this is the Gaming Den, where posters...

Micro and Macroeconomics. Both classes were taught by a professor who was crazier than a shithouse rat strung out on Drano.

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

WAT!? NINE THOUSAND!

Clearly, this thread is a rousing failure!

All this talk of BJs may cause it to arouse more than that.

I think it is a clever and totally original character concept!

On a less weird note, are you going to do the November National Novel Writing Month Thingy?

Seriously, the only explanation for this is that the Tories are actually trying to destroy the country. Another explanation is that they're trying to save England by flailing about in a ham-handed and misguided fashion. Yeah... I suppose Hanlon's Razor applies here. After all, if the government of ...

And what will that lead to? Lots of lawsuits, since it is illegal to age-discriminate against people 40+. That's very hard to prove. Most people don't have the resources to fight that. Especially if they've been unemployed for seven years. David Cameron is veering into supervillain territory. Serio...

Knights of Badassery looks pretty cool.
