The Gaming Den

1193474792[/unixtime]]Even in the cultures where homosexuality was considered punishable by death, was it ever popular to burn them? Because that whole scenario you just spun seems awfully unlikely. [br][br]No, but "witches" and "heretics" were routinely accused of homosexuality...

1193460747[/unixtime]]I recall there being lulz on the WotC boards when someone mentioned throwing a ****** onto the fire. Everyone was wondering "What word was censored out?" before realising the poster was English, and to the Brits, a[EDITED]got is just a piece of wood. [br][br]It's &qu...

Give it time. I see one of my exes regularly, but there was about 7 years between when we dated and when we became friends again.

Wait, what? You want to be an inanimate object? Or do you mean that you'd just really hate to own a real doll?

Or she would rather be used as a sexual plaything than have one of her own.

1193032075[/unixtime]][br]...But how to put that into an essay? I don't even understand the arguments where magic is always superior because it can break physics, and everything else sucks because they can't. [br][br]What part of that don't you understand?[br][br]From my brief consideration of the ...

1193020164[/unixtime]]OK in that case you really need to point to the classic counter example (there are two famous ones; one from fantasy and one from adventure) where the Grey Mouser throws a dagger into the eye socket of the big bad curse casting black wizard effectively killing him on the spot....

1192649213[/unixtime]]:confused: I'm really confused here. I mean the trend in most of history was to have children's clothing be adult clothing in miniature. Here is a quote I found on the web, "Children's clothing in much of Western History was chiefly similar to adult dress in miniature.&qu...

1192485369[/unixtime]]We were specifically talking about partial birth abortions, of course I know most abortions happen very early in the pregnancy, or perhaps we have divergent views of the term shortly in this context.

Generally, though the average risk factor should be, and is, public knowledge; and it tells us that cesarean-sections are the way to go. Deciding whether the procedure is going to be done?

1192198578[/unixtime]]Consider that Obama's best defense for the whole question of Iraq was that at the time the vote was taken he wasn't there. [br][br]No, his best defense is that he gave a speech before the vote that looks prophetic in retrospect. Obama correctly predicted what would happen if w...

1192169827[/unixtime]]On second thought, that came off as a little rude; I meant that the term "Frank Cheat" is vague and its name should instead imply what that common and obvious strategy does . [br][br]Yes, well, the people who named it that are asshats, and didn't take into considerat...

You might want to explain what RNG actually stands for in the description. Otherwise people might think it means range.

Koumei at [unixtime wrote:1191780272[/unixtime]]Eh? His sig is just a bunch of links, if we're talking about Angry Matt, the guy who thinks the Internet is serious business. Does following the links reveal this fact, or are you referring to something else?

Sorry. I got my idiots mixed up. I was referring to navar100.

It seems that me stating my opinion is "trolling". How amusing.

I like how the guy calling you a troll has a sig that makes it clear he doesn't know what he's talking about.

The Good: It's fun.

The Bad: It's low on game. This might not be a problem.

The Weird: There really aren't any hard and fast rules, per se. You can't die, succeeding by too much is as bad or worse than failing, and the main goal of most characters is to get laid. Which never happens.

1191008767[/unixtime]][br]Because I used to chat with a guy that was an international lawyer in Malaysia, and he didn't make it sound like a pleasant place to live. (Hot as hell and mind-crushingly conservative.) [br][br]That would be a very accurate description of Malaysia. I'd also add in "u...
