read this one: number 1: It is now canon that Vader had a crossbow. You have to hate toy makers.
At least The Flash could make the argument that he wanted to save wear and tear on his shoes (he must have gone through the damn things) but Jazz transforms into a ****ing sports car. Making him ride around on a freaking skateboard is like you strapping two infants to your feet and making them crawl around so you don't have to walk.
Win.
Double Win.
Maybe someone wanted to string together the world's most absurd Mad Lib. Maybe they wanted to scar children for the rest of their lives. No matter why they did it, someone, somewhere put the Ninja Turtles in clown make-up. Why? Because **** you, that's why.
Triple Win.

Goddamn it! I just read a simply epic run-throw for Neverwinter Nights 2 over on Lets Play, the game seemed good, the characters engaging, the guy doing it was amusing but thought provoking, raising some serious issues that I found fascinating AND FOR WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END!?
Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies!!! Are you ****ing kidding me? Jesus Christ Obsidian! I know your basically Biowares shitty younger brother but put some effing effort in. Man, if I'd just spend 70+ hours on a game, then was told in some crappy slide show that my epic-level character died becuase a rock fell on my head, more annoyingly, becuase the two members of the party who have EXTENSIVELY TRAVELLED TO DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS somehow forgot they could do so, I would be hella pissed.
It's a testament to how awesome the LP was that I'm still planning on asking Santa for this game.
I recomend everyone read it- http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/NWN2/
EDIT: Sorry for the rant guys, It's just that I've really grown to like those characters. They made me laugh and stuff. And then they get killed off in a 'Oh, btw, your whole party trips and brakes their necks. Haw haw, **** you loyal fans!' kind of way. I mean it would be like if instead of Mara Jade dying in an epic duel to the death Crowning-moment-of-Awesome she gets cancer and dies in a paragraph. **** that shit, eh?
Edit2: Pre-empting the inevitable 'We don't care about your personal shit', from Sexy!! This is a social thead you ass, I can rant about whatever I want! So go suck a railroad spike.
http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/index.html - This one? I was just gonna read it actually.
Oh, and it seems like most of the party survives, but you aren't told that at the end, so I still maintain that its a cock-move on Obsidians part.
Ok, Grobnar has officially been moved into the position of most awesome character for one reason. You remember my earlier rant over Rocks fall, everyone dies? Well he's one of the guys who snuffs it, but he does it in such an awesome way: He dies because he tries to save his seven-and-a-half foot tall solid-iron pet Blade Golem from a falling pillar by shielding it with his own 4-foot tall body. BEST. DEATH. EVER!
Grobnar, I salute you. usaflag
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
its jabberwocky by lewis carroll. many years ago i used to also know what it meant. not so much anymore. but it is completely explained in alice in wonderland (or is it in through the looking glass?]
speaking of which: Johnny depp is in Tim Burton's alice in wonderland soon. It really doesn't get sweeter than that.
Hey look, I found a quote that descibes Sexy perfectly- 'Given that there are however many millions of people on the planet, any given person assuming that he is more important than all of them is a mindset that can pretty much only lead to evil actions. It's carte blanche to exploit and mistreat people. Whether he actually does this, I suppose, determines whether he's chaotic neutral or some variety of evil, but short of self-restraint, he has no reason to treat people any way other than evil if he really does only care about himself.' Taaa daaa!1! Guide to understanding the Beefington mindset and why he's such a dick all the time.
(For serious, this is why whenever you call him up on his ballshit he always talks about being 'justified'. He needs to maintain his image as moste specalest.)

Well first, that has nothing to do with why i'm a dick, but it's nice that you tried to appear intelligent.
And when you call me up on my "bat shit", you hardly ever have a legitimate reason, other than losing an argument.
