I remember that desert island guy one being pretty cool.
I think you're probably referring to the Jonny Castaway screensaver. There's a whole damned website dedicated to it, heh. You can still download it as well. I believe I found it on a Sierra disc, it was either KQ6 or SQ6 I can't remember but I had a lot of fun watching it when I was younger.

Speaking of screensavers, we had a CD which contained a load of sick and twisted screensavers. They were very funny but in bad taste. To name a few, there was a bungee jumping cow screensaver which allowed you to change the settings to alter the "safety" of the rope which could result in pleasant bouncing for the cow or the rope snapping, sending the cow splattering into the ground. It was very sick but as a child growing up in a world that glorified violence in the media, you couldn't help but laugh.

Oh no, not again...

Then again, games can lead to stupidity. Like paying $17,500 for a seven-minute title (yeah, I know it's incredibly rare, but still...).

WHY? Why would someone pay that much money for something they're not even really going to enjoy? I don't understand! It's the same thing with some of my friends who 'collect' games. WHY? I'd rather rent, enjoy and return a game then have it just to have it. Games are supposed to be about playing, not showing off. I have a friend who always brags about owning an imported copy of every final fantasy and I just don't get it! You can't play them! What is there to enjoy in that?
UUuuuugh that attitude annoys me.
Whoops that really was a rant. Lol :P
As for the Mortal Kombat movie, well that's just not learning from your mistakes. The first MK has camp value, but the second one just...ugh...

The producers acknowledge that the second mortal kombat movie was horrible, this one will be a remake of the first, or so I heard.

I hope the Nostalgia Critic rips a hole in this one as well. He also needs to do that Chun Li movie (I didn't watch it but I heard it was bad).

Oh. Man.
Why would reporters not think that anyone who even smelled that would die?
I mean, I don't give today's (or yesterday's or tommorow's) youth much credit but really now.

In my country, journalists are among the dumbest people in the world. It's almost a sport to fool them on TV. I even remember a blind person that fooled the reporter into thinking that he could play the console with the echo of his voice. :lol

Yes, to aged female lab rats fed large quantities of the stuff... :p

Okay, this is just more proof of why the French are deserving of ridicule.

Observe what happens when you let a French prisoner play Metal Gear Solid.

I'm still alive!

I don't know if anyone has heard and if this topic is not aloud I'm very sorry and please edit it out or let me know and I will.

My friend (of which I am not a smoker at least I'm not addicted) but at the beginning of 2010 flavored tobacco except menthol surprisingly will be banned in the U.S..
They are even banning clove cigarettes. Of which have a unique taste from when I've experimented but I'd more rather have menthol if I was a smoker being I like minty stuff.
So why ban all flavors but the more popular flavor. Because the U.S. government is full of idiots. Most kids who do smoke underage would probably like mint more than cloves. Which are an acquired taste and even if they ban tobacco all together it will be like most drugs. People will want them more because it makes them look bad @$$ or what ever.

And then I've heard rumors of banning candy in the U.S. or making it for adults only because of obesity. I say that America is starting to become more communist than most communist countries. That's all I have to say.

I doubt that. I think obesity in the US is more a result of the fact some people devour high-calory food in LARGE quantities (coupled with a lack of excercise) than because they're eating candy all day long.

And I fail to see what a ban on candy has to do with communism. :rolleyes

Trust me, everyone says that.

I've recently given up and now I don't even see the point in why I started in the first place (well I was going through a bad time) but now looking back it was just a massive waste of money. So if you want to smoke your cash away then go for it!

I agree though, people should be able to do what they want to do, after all as long as its not affecting anyone else they are the ones that pay the consequences (whether that be eating, drinking, smoking or doing anything too much or too little.)

Has anyone yet noted that we now have 4000 members? Granted, they're not all active, but still, that's pretty cool.

Do you think they're just sitting there watching us like a bad TV show? That's kind of creepy. Of course I lurked here for years before I joined so I guess I'm not allowed to judge to badly.

Well thing is if to say I am addicted or not I was too cheap to buy my own.
Meaning I'm too busy buying games and movies to buy cigarettes. That's probably why I'm a nervous wreck all the time because I'm so addicted to games and anime that I can't support a cigarette addiction.

I've noticed these weeks that I become very tired for shorts periods of time and no apparent reason (I really should exercise more :p), but this week it's becoming really stupid and sometimes I have to rest for hours in my couch. I can't even talk without effort at those times. I went to see the doctor and I'll have the results of a blood analysis next week, but everything points to Mononucleosis. What a bummer, I don't even got kissed! :lol Worst thing is, I've read that the illness can last up to eighteen months, and it has stronger effect on males. :eek

My friend had that last year, lasted about 3-4 months for him so I guess he was lucky. He was sleeping all the time and had no appetite, he lost quite a bit of weight which was good but it can be pretty tough to get through so get well soon!

Hey! Maybe we really can convince AGDI to remake Jonny Castaway! I remember it gave me a full 5 minutes of entertainment 16 years ago!
