Man, I really need to get started on my Youtube account; awesome for you guys, though!

I think if it were me, I'd have screamed at those parents to start disciplining their child or I would (or punch the dad in the face at least).

I'm 23, but my grandpa and his generation saw fit to discipline the neighbors' kids, and while I don't necessarily think it should go back to that, and was raised on mostly time outs and the like (I was pretty well-behaved though, so I think that has more to do with spankings being rare) replace spanking with SOMETHING for Christ's sake, enough is enough. Seven year olds should never run things.

As a former Assistant Hall Director who had to deal with the 18 year olds from the "kids are the world" generation last year, my deepest sympathies.

And that Humanitarian Social Democrat sounds like a real charmer, and not at all a hypocrite, too.

And not even the people, but the service you set out for years in advance was terrible? Yeesh! A letter to their customer service AT LEAST should be in order.

I'm still wondering if by Carnival cruise you mean ... THE Carnival cruise, i.e. the one on the news.

Hey vinyl albums are making a comeback, so don't feel too old, a lot of us still know what a broken record sounds like! Not that I have any of the new ones, but we used to, and of course my parents still have a couple of their Beatles albums.

As for MGS, I'm not quite as big a fan as you (is anyone? lol), but I do prefer it to FF and JRPGs in general quite a bit. Rake them FF boys over the life-draining pack of cigarettes!

I always found MK sluggish in general, but this one looked like gory fun!

Like Aaron, I look forward to Injustice.

Ha! Funny blog, and I love HISHE!

Nothing wrong with aping Smash Bros. if it's done right with its own unique style. Haven't played it, but want to.

I had that same problem of finding my character on-screen in Smash, though. lol

^To be specific, I did Ska/Punk (the fusion of punk or pop-punk music with horns sections, basically)  Saturday today, might consider doing just ska once or twice though.

I do like the idea of "anything can happen" though, as my music tastes are very diverse as well.

I'll be honest, shred is not necessarily my favorite, though I do love the occassional tune from Steve Vai ("For the Love of God"), Joe Satriani ("Surfing with the Alien" is ok, plus he trained Kirk Hammett), or especially "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson (I know their names and a couple songs, but I opt for vocally driven music, mostly, Chickenfoot was decent), but I do love the relaxing nature of these Hodsworth tunes, and hey, Metal Fatigue has lyrics even! lol

The more music the merrier I say!

I always wanted to play these, so I'd be fine with them bringing it back.

That controller looks awesome, too bad the others are HOW MUCH?!

I'm sorry you've had to put up with that. When I was growing up, it was still nerdy, but ultimately it was just something the guys did that the girls thought was stupid. Not really harmful to anyone, just one of those "boys are dumb" things, which I can only imagine dateless Gamestop employees are now getting their vengeance on you for, unaware you actually like games. lol

My mom still is the computer teacher at my old middle school, and from what I'm hearing, now it's a lot of the girls drawing anime and playing games, though I'm not sure if that still makes them nerdy or not to their peers.

While having been an Assistant Hall Director last year (and I'll be honest, not getting out much, but not being much of a gamer at the time, note my long hiatus from 1up before downloading Sonic CD on my Android) made me want to smack most of the incoming Freshman, I'm glad at least my generation now laughs at things like this, which might partly be what inspired your mom's D&D fear:
