I love how politically correct this is: a multi-racial gang of thugs!

ALSO:

Feels especially relevant after DL-con.

"buy this game!"
"why? it's not good"
"but it's ranked"

Sorry for the long link, just seemed rather interesting and kinda relevant to me personally since I'm currently apartment hunting.

The video might be considered NSFW due to smoking of the questionable legality.

Sure, the first ones are just poor and nonsensical. Not too mad. Page 2, sense starts breaking down, then it's just a downhill slick from there.

SPOILER WARNING FOR SPORTS FANS: This story sadly does not end with Chris Berman's body being drained of blood after he's sent out to interview the kids.

So that explains why there's so many RPGs I -want-, but so few that I -like- enough to finish without switching around to a bunch of other games first!

I'd read an article about this before, where psychiatrists were trying to chemically isolate proof that 'the anticipation is often better than the reward', but this is the first article I've read where it appears the experiment was successful and now others are using the research applied to various fields... like Twitter.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #744 on:** August 19, 2009, 07:28:36 AM »

Proof? Feh. What proof do you even need? Nothing is as good as you imagine it unless you're a multi-billionaire who can get things made specifically FOR him.

Interesting column with some hard facts about NFL players going broke. Nothing in here is shocking, but it's a good read even for non sports fans to read.
