Helped my mother make 240 sandwiches for an AAUW event today and I can't even take part because of work. :sad: Such a drag.

I think it's a bit too narrow now in hindsight, but I loved the real ghostbusters when I was a kid and it's almost Halloween. :P You should check out more of the guys artwork here. He's phenomenal. http://tunasammiches.deviantart.com/art ... -414478969

Yeah, I was thinking about going back and giving the show a watch again. But im basically dedicating my watch time to the original TMNT cartoon, which is in the same ball bark of nostalgia for me, I just started Season 4 and im some 70 episodes deep in the show. I may give The Real Ghostbosuters a whirl after though, as its one of my early child hood faves along side tmnt.

Also, that guy does some amazing work, some of that art has to be worthy of a comic covers, im assuming thats what he does professionally, he seems that good.

Dunno if I wanna watch Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi now.


I'm literally addicted to Top Gear UK and watch it about every day, it's my favorite show. We have BBC America where it's aired. I often fall asleep to it and wake up in the morning where they play Dr. Who. I am so confused as to the point of the show, the plot, etc. The special effects and acting are appalling, I don't understand the appeal at all.


I watch Top Gear every night too, its also my favorite show. Its all on Netflix too btw. I cant wait for season 22!

Are you a #gamergater, Ziming? That was a pretty embarrassingly pathetic put down of Anita Sarkeesian you just posted. She is a women who surely doesn't deserve any more unwarranted hate on the internet, and I am genuinely, genuinely disappointed that one of our moderators here has decided to add his voice to that chorus of moronic spite.

I don't even know what the hell entails a "#gamergater" myself; the only gaming stuff I ever look up on my own is footage and info on games, so the only exposure I get to "gaming politics" shit is whatever I see on this particular forum.
But from the single video I've seen of her's, and what little I know about her otherwise, I'd say she deserves a pretty fair amount of whatever shit gets flung her way. No doubt some people take it too far (that's the internet for you) but that doesn't mean that no one level-headed is allowed criticize her either.
And what does someone being a moderator have to do with anything? They're free to have opinions just like anyone else.

I have no idea what it is either. But I'm sure it's well important. Like Ebola and the economy.

Of course level headed criticism is allowed, and I'd be interested to hear why you took such issues with the video you saw. But what Ziming posted was the kind of childish dross I'd imagine was made by some man-child on 4chan or whatever that place is.

phpBB [video]


I watched this in its entirety earlier just to see her point of view. Some things I agree with (mainly just the violence towards strippers and hookers in some games, but even then, eh I can just choose to not play them, or not do that part of the game), most of it is her using big words and disecting and molding everything she sees into what she wants everyone to believe (which is funny because she also acuses game developers of the same exact thing with objectifying women sexually). The funniest bit was her trying to explain that if you dont agree with her, you are in denial and at the most risk for having mental problems and other health issues from viewing the content (she also doesnt cite where that information comes from). I think the biggest thing here is something very simple, whats happening in the games isnt real, and yes there might be some subliminal after effects, but the people that dont already have the potential to do crimes or other acts similar to what is in those games, probably arent gonna change them much either way. She also just concentrates on the negative, maybe she didnt consider that some people view these things and think OH I SHOULDNT DO THESE THINGS IN REAL LIFE or IM REPULSED AND WILL NEVER PLAY THIS AGAIN, rather than IM DOIN IT IN VIDJYAS SO Y NOT IRL TOO? LOLZ or OMG I CANT DO DIS IRL SO IMMA PLAY VIDJYAS AND COMMIT CRIMES ALL DAY IN MY XBOOKS COMPROMISING MY MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. Verdict: Shes full of shit.
