...probability, as in the very low probability that this bird flu will mutate into a form that is easily transferred between humans. Every person I know in the health field is fed up with the media's hyping of this thing and all the unecessary fearmongering.
Great Satan's Firey Balls! That must require the use of at least three muscles to move the pointer and click the link! Does Blockbuster offer health insurance?
print it out, pick it up from the printer,
Jesus Tap Danching Christ On A Cracker! Those foul villans! They make you trek all the way to the printer? Do they subsidize the required team of Sherpas and ruggedized GPS navigation equipment?
then have to remember to bring the coupon when you go to the store.
Wow! What does Blockbuster think? That we have highly evolved brains with complex memory capabilities? Those fools! Thos bloody, viscious fools!
She's "an individual standing alone, self-reliant and self-propelling, ready to confront whatever [awaits her] with the aid of [her] own unique and inherent resources"
Wow. I *am* the male Lara Croft!:-)
But without the guns.
And without the boobs. Or the good looks. Or the legs. Or the mansion, money and international intrigue. Or the cool butler.
(Final Fantasy) didn't actually use any of the games' plots
It did use many of the basic themes, though. Bizarre, world-ending threat. Creatures that seem alien and magical at the same time. The world as a living being.
That's your average game-obsessed message board dork in a nutshell:
Well, at least he's self referential.
Never understood the whole fractioning of the FF fanbase. I've played all of them except #11. I enjoyed them all. Even X-2, which was just a bit of fun that seems to offend so many *cough*serious*cough* RPG gamers.
Ah well... Kingdom Hearts II is in my PS2 now, so who cares about anything else?:)
This is why I like console games a bit better. There's exceptions, but they tend to just work. They're kind of the Macs of the gaming world: just one system to design for.
But I agree with the OP. Ain't It Cool News has legions of movie geeks flooding theaters to see what they know and admit is junk, and then they bemoan the fact that movies suck. But then again these are the people who hate CGI but love men in rubber monster suits. Whatever.
I gave up on concerts years ago. Everyone just stands and screams, so the volume is cranked to the point where you either wear earplugs or suffer hearing damage. The folks near you are either drunk, high, peeing at their seat, throwing up or all of the above, and generally rate a 9.5 on the Asshole Scale.
As a video game (esp. Nintendo) zealot turned dissident
I'm with you. I was all set to bury my anti-MS feelings and get some next gen goodness with the XBox 360, but when I saw the initial lineup: FPS, sports, sports, FPS, FPS, FPS, sports, sports, sports... I passed. BTW, I consider car racing games as "sports" even if it's some silly "Oooo! Illegal street racing doodz!" title.
PS3 lineup isn't starting to look all that much better.:( Although that shooter from Insomniac may have potential.

Watchmen. Astro City - Confession, etc.
Wouldn't you just have to burn out the optics? Or jam the data link.
"Wii" has pissed off legions of people. Nothing that has pissed off so many can possibly be bad. Ha ha ha! Whine, GaMeRz! Whine like little piggies!
Oh my GOD! The ultimate in inconvenience!

They watch stuff and record it.
Do I get a consulting fee?
IMB. Is that like HLA?
They are also getting a full shampoo, claw clipping, complete set of shots and, if needed, spaying/neutering.
The only drawback is that in school, all the bullys will call it "four Is"
I'm so lonely. :(

And, hey, there was a character named Cid. :)

Whee. :-\
Paramount puts turnip in large vise. Seeks blood.
I'm gonna rate my website "Wacky"! Or maybe "Best Page In The Universe". Oh, wait, someone did that. OK. Wacky it is!

Nice to see the ad hominem attack is alive and well on Slashdot.
And this is how we lose: by assuimng the opposition is stupid.
"Boy, those gummint types shore is stoopid. Hey, why do my butt hurt all of the sudden like?"
Battles for second place are rarely epic.
My thought exactly. If it had gone to, like, France, all the sponsors would be baguette and beret companies, or something.
Hey, it's Monday. And a damned Oracle can spell things any way the damned Oracle feels like. Now get the hell off the holy compound!
Why do I get visions of MTV style garbage?
The hosts will be second teir rap starts and third teir actors.
There will be many "Bawls" jokes.
This prophesy is complete. The Oracle will now retire to the Vomitorium.
