Oh, that looks like a lot of fun. Are there a lot of games of this type out there that I'm not thinking of? One of the comments mentioned Subterrainia for Genesis, a game that did gravity and inertia very well, and Oids comes to mind (a fantastic old-school game for the Mac owners, with a great level-editor and teleporters that treated you like a ping-pong ball) but I'm not coming up with a lot else.

Gravitar for the Atari 2600. 1980s processing power bitches!

Warning: This link has Persona 4 spoilers (Late November is adequate to know the events).

This being said, it's pretty damn funny.

Women like to watch TV about men, so including 2 Ys, indicating a high Y-chromosome count, is a masterstroke. Clearly, they are playing 13-dimensional chess, while we mere mortals try to figure out the checkers board.

Honestly, if Howe had cited -that- as the reason for changing the name, I'd be all over it. And honestly, the name doesn't bother me.

But he decided to change it because he didn't want the channel to be associated with 'geeky things'? .... That's just... so out of touch and insulting. I never watch TV anymore, and I certainly don't watch American cable channels in Japan. But I wish I did, just so I could boycott the channel... That article is just frustrating levels of stupid and offensive.

I already had the Two Wolf Moon shirt but decided that it was worth the hype to upgrade to the Three Wolf Moon shirt....

Big mistake. I found that the "fierce" factor i instilled on others was not the full %50 more that you would expect with %50 more wolves. I tested it with equipment i have access to at work and it was only 27% more fierce.

If you take into account the extra ink weight required to print the additional wolf; this shirt may cost you thousands of dollars in food calories over your life span.

I just don't think that this makes sound fiscal sense in this economy. Especially with the fierceness not meeting what you would expect from the additional wolf.

I recognize maybe...three acronyms in TranceHime's Fox link. Like 1337--I know that one.

XD That's the cheesiest thing I've seen in years. Awesome.

Also:
Most of those text acronyms do not seem standardized. Oh, I'm sure -someone's- using them somewhere, but for the most they're not going to be widespread enough that people (including the children of these paranoid parents) can actually use them to communicate... >.>;;

A lot of number codes/mixed numbers/letters are pretty universal, though.

1337 = elite
420 = marijuana
187 = magic the gathering creatures with a comes into play triggered ability
h8 = hate, gr8 = great,
b7 = banned
IBB7 = in before ban
<3 = heart
n00b = derogatory term for newbie
w00t = exclamation of pleasure
j00 = you
8) = smiley face with big eyes
:3 = catface

I assume whatever number 15 is doesn't show up for me due to a plugin or something, but it is pretty awesome seeing 15. Nothing means Nothing in leet. HARDCORE.

Also I am not sure, are they saying in the article though. Are they saying "watch out your kids are talking like this!!!!!" or are they saying that these kinds of words are pertinent to the kinds of conversations parents have? I am assuming the latter because it is imperative that you don't get caught masturbating to leatherdaddy scat porn while you text message someone with your 90 year old mother in the room. You only do that when your dad is there.
