    Perfect opportunity for DC to cash in on an Aquaman movie to help establish him as a character in the universe, then add him to the JL live action movie. They could make a new superstar Hollywood hunk out of whoever gets the role. He'd walk around shirtless most of the movie.

    There are too many people on this earth, and getting a job is too competitive.

    That sucks. Being 21 with no experience in your field is tough.

    I just spent 2.5 hours playing GTAV. Most of that time was spent on mass destruction with little advancement of the storyline, and lots of reloading saves. I have to find a better way to use my free time.

    More people = more possible networking and connections, which leads to jobs. Not too sure which field you've studied, but that should be true for most industries out there.

    More people offering jobs or requiring service > people who can provide the service = jobs!

    I tend to agree with the assessment that we're currently overpopulated.

    I've started watching FMA Brotherhood again, since I have access to Netflix this week. Unfortunately, whoever chose the subtitle font and colour likely only tried it with live action shows. The flat yellow text blends into light anime screens so that it's nearly impossible to read a lot of the time, and I have to work so hard to read it that I miss things going on in the picture. They have a lot to learn from fansubbers. I am not impressed.

    That must have been a badass party.

    Or alcoholism... just kidding. Getting old sucks, and it's harder and harder to hold your liquor as you try to relive your heydays in college and young adulthood.

    My bitch, sorta: just finished GTA:V. Fun game, satisfying missions and activities for the most part and the characters do grow on you after playing them a while.

    It seems they haven't made many changes to the engine since the first GTA games. Controls are still wonky and frustrating, as well as some viewing angles. If you're approaching a door, especially when running, you have less than a 10% chance of making it through the door. Most likely you hit either door jam, then circle around and hit the other door jam and not the door. I almost destroyed a second PS3 controller due to this sort of game-induced rage, which in hindsight might be the coders' intent... increase hardware sales by pissing off the players.

    I`ve never seen a person actually rage playing a game, how many controllers have you broken by now?

    I played Xbox with some friends who I've never played with before, and heard them rage (like ever) for the first time. It was hilarious. No controller smashing, since that's poor form. Just.. grunts and little dances around the room. xD

    That isn't really raging.

    Raging involves breaking things or body parts, usually your own.

    I once smashed my ps1 and ps2 to the floor because it won't work due to the lens being broken due to my usage of pirated discs.

    I cannot even count how many times I threw my ps controller, and mouse somewhere. I also smash my keyboard around a lot, but only broke it in half with my bare hands once.

    I also once punched the screen of my crt TV and the back of it hit the wall. That was when I was beaten by the boss of a fighting game for the nth time using some cheap ass move. TV still worked fine though.

    I regularly punch the concrete wall of my room when I get pissed off at a game, but I have yet to dislocate my wrist or fracture my knuckles because I use proper form and somehow manage to control my power before impact.

    But this is all in the past. In the past few years, I have simply cared less and less about winning in games. Or maybe I have just been playing VNs much more, where you cannot really lose.

    My bitch:

    Why the hell does alcohol have to ruin your liver? Why is there no safer alternative that does exactly the same thing?

    An X360 controller, a PS3 controller, 2 (maybe 3) PC keyboards, and 1 mouse. I hate it when poor code/system glitches lets the computer cheat and the same movements/button presses you made a thousand times before suddenly results in a different action which gets you killed after meticulously completing 95% of a mission, only to have to do it all over again.

    Usually it only takes one time destroying something and having to buy another one to make me learn not to abuse the hardware. I have a punching bag so I could hit that like shinta with his concrete wall, but it's not as satisfying as smashing the offending controller.

    @shinta: alcohol doesn't purposefully destroy your liver, it's designed to filter the alcohol out of your system. Unfortunately as with anything, excess can overload a system and damage it.

    why is weed illegal anywhere? I don't smoke a lot, but i'd like to have the option.
    although, I think one of the guys from south america is a big anti-weed person, and he has some good points.

    Lots of other things do even more damage to your liver. Like Tylenol (acetaminophen). That's why you have to drink in moderation, so you can enjoy it for years to come. Also, eat a variety of foods that help your living process. Good fats (fish, nuts), veggies with sulfur in them (leafy greens, garlic, broccoli) etc.

    Weed is illegal in the US because Newspaper kingpin William Hearst spent a lot of time demonizing it in all his papers, largely speculated to destroy the hemp industry that competed with his paper/logging industry along with the DuPont family, who had recently created nylon. Since you can't tell the difference between the male and female plants from a distance, they get banned. In the end, the reason is still greed.

    I completely dropped paracetamol from my system for years now just to avoid causing more damage to my liver. I am doing more than enough of that with my daily drinking.
