Skywarp!

Someone must go find a picture of this heffer. I bet she's one of those chicks that got too fat to leave the house.

I'm pretty sure someone used to have an avatar of that clip.

Anyone have a follow up to the story? I hope that couple gets the shit sued out of them.

Heard it only in Savage Love, but people regularly write in to him with letters he publishes about it slowly gaining ground in usage. I believe he has mentioned another site whose mission is to spread awareness of the term. I think it's called spreadingsantorum.com.

Because of Santorum's stance on gay relationships, his name has gained popularity in becoming a commonly accepted sexual slang term. Santorum is the word which now refers to the "frothy mixture of fecal matter, semen and lube which is often the byproduct of anal sex".

Last week, Hilton's cell phone was hacked into and its contents (her phone numbers and e-mail addresses) were posted on the Internet. In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, on newsstands Friday, Hilton says: "I feel horrible that, once again, someone has invaded my privacy. I want to apologize to all my friends and family. I don't know why this stuff always happens to me, but I wish it wouldn't anymore." Hilton, 24, said she first heard the news from her sister, Nicky. "(Nicky) told me it was out there," she said. "It's too upsetting for me -- I can't believe it." Some of her friends have been besieged with calls and e-mails. Actress Lindsay Lohan tells the magazine: "It's crazy. I even got an e-mail from someone pretending to be Hugh Hefner." Hilton's privacy was previously exposed when a sex tape of her and an ex-boyfriend became a cyberspace novelty. She stars on the Fox TV reality show "The Simple Life 3: Interns" with friend Nicole Richie, daughter of R&B singer Lionel Richie.

Czech definitely scored a couple points with me for that post.

This is true. I always thought they would have been an awesome band had their songs just stayed instrumental. Or had a competent lyricist. For example: the core of the band tore up the M:I theme. Why did it have pointless lyrics?

Nice. TS2 still stands in my eyes as the best FPS of this generation, and I think it has no small part to do with the fact that Free Radical is made up of the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark team that fled Rare when it was sold to Microsoft. There is seriously some unpalpable x-factor in their level design that kept the game interesting when most other FPSs out there were snoozers.

I never really played any of them, but I thought about getting the Cube update. What was so bad about Part 2? Cutscenes that would never end?

Hey, Pisceans are the nicest people you'll ever meet...if you believe that sort of thing.

I saw one pic of Starfox 2 and it looked like it would have had splitscreen play. I was waiting for that to hit stores.

Final Fantasy XI players banned More than 800 are permanently booted from Vana'diel after abusing other players. TOKYO--More than 800 PlayOnline accounts have been permanently deleted after certain Final Fantasy XI players violated the game's user agreement. FFXI gamers were ganging up to monopolize notorious monsters' hunting grounds, preventing other players from collecting the monsters' sought-after items. Violators also harassed and even killed their fellow Vana'diel denizens. Grief tactics and harassment are specifically prohibited by Final Fantasy XI's user agreement, as is interfering with others' gameplay and dominating monster zones. "Acts such as harassment are forbidden...and they cannot be overlooked under any circumstance," Square Enix said in a statement. "In addition, severely disturbing the enjoyment of other users by monopolizing monsters is not acceptable. We have taken measures against players who have been clearly going against the terms of service." Victims of harassment are encouraged to use the GM Call to contact their game master. This isn't the first time Square Enix has taken steps to prevent FFXI players from abusing privileges. In December, the game underwent an upgrade intended to reduce the impact of camping in notorious monsters' territory. By Hirohiko Niizumi -- GameSpot POSTED: 02/15/05 06:35 PM PST

I think the reason Nintendo hasn't fully embraced online play yet is that they can't completely ensure that the game will stay a Rated E experience. They can't completely censor what people say or do, unless they completely do not allow any sort of chat system at all. That means you can't find friends or discuss the game before playing, so there's really no point at all. Anyway, that's my theory.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

He's gone, damnit. We need to medicate Paragon.

^ Oh? How did you manage to get in that V.I.P. section?

If you tried to tell me what was or wasn't appropriate for my child, I'd likely tell you to fuck off. Just sayin' Actually, a lot of moms were taken aback when they realized it had naughty language. Although I'm just pointing out the unobservant parent minority; the majority noticed the Parental Advisory sticker and said "no way" to the begging.

I thought Wal-Mart only carried the heavily-edited versions of those albums? IOW, probably 30% of it is bleeped out/silence? Sorry, I didn't mean I worked at Wal*Mart. There was a chain of music stores called The Wall, which were usually located in malls. Most of them have been changed over to FYEs now, I think.

The problem is that the parents are either not aware just how inappropriate the content of video games has gotten lately, or they just don't care and get their kids whatever they ask for. When "Vice City" was new, I saw a parent buying it with her 7-9 year old kid in tow. I thought "You got to be kidding". When I was working at "The Wall", parents used to come up with their 10 year olds in tow, with "The Marshal Mathers LP" in their hand. I used to warn parents that it wasn't appropriate. They had no idea. When the album went back on the shelves, the 10 year olds used to give me nasty looks.

I like the geek quote in your sig, Andrew.

Where else can they feel the rush of elitism? Not at school...

Edit: Nevermind.
