The Gaming Den

The xenomorphs are super famous and Mortal Kombat is in itself a nostalgia franchise. If anything I think it's kinda weird that you think they ever really went away.

That "science fighter" gif of Darwin is a nice nod to Pocket Fighter Zangief's 'evolution combo'

And that's why the concept of "post-scarcity society" is utter bullshit. Humans are never satisfied for long.

Ten thousand years in the future:
"Why do I have to share this galaxy, legion of android maids and my fleet of giant robots with two other humans? This sucks! George Bush the XLVI has a hundred galaxies, five hundred legions of android maids and a thousand fleets of giant robots all for himself!"

The idea that the human race would continue to exist with even 3 more George Bushes is silly.

Motherfucker, I've been living in a student dormitory just four years ago. "In the past" my ass.

If the android maids are convincingly human in mannerism and appearance, we can surround ourselves with an artificial monkey sphere which we are on top of by fiat. At that point (provided that basic needs are also taken care of, which is already within our grasp), we will have maxed out our ability to be happy. People might still compare themselves to people who have more, but that will be strictly a personal problem, because no amount of having more will actually solve that. You just have to get all zen and let go of desire and stuff.

What a bunch of fucking idiots. I'm not sure if that third guy is smarter than the other two or not. I'll give him a point for seeming to recognize the danger in what he's doing, but I want to take several away from him for still deciding to do it.

He'a wearing a hat. Surely that is all the protection one needs before being exploded.

What am I looking at there, AH?

Another couple for Shrapnel-

Wile E. Coyote in real life. According to youtube the guy didn't die so it's OK to laugh:

It's the cast of Star Trek DS:9 doing a "friends pose":

For some reason the guy on the left (viewer's perspective) made me think of Ryan Stiles, and from there a connection to Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Rene Auberjonois disapproves.

He had the wisdom or luck to jump into deep snow. That cushioned the impact. But, really, whoever packed that parachute needs to be punched, unless he packed it himself in which case I think the landing was enough.
