The number of opponents I must have beaten down over the years in all Warriors games combined... I don't want to know that number.

Pretty sure I'd be an even greater mass murderer than R2D2.

BTW if I don't respond to **** for the rest of the day it's cause I now have to play Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 like a bitch. **** you all.

Now just imagine that this is the easiest game in the world to play and takes little to no skill on easier settings while being the most satisfying thing in the world when beating down on peons who can do nothing to stop your might. It's ****ing hypnotic on weed.


So it’s like Star Wars except you got to keep jerking off the remote to get the movie to play.

I don't know what that means but yes basically.

You missed one of the most obvious ones which was accessing porn. If you wanted to have a wank before the internet era, your options were your imagination, the Argos catalogue underwear section or a discarded magazine/friend's dad's videos. You really had to earn your wanks. But guys now can just fire up the smartphone and access a plethora of explicit HQ material.

Cos I'm a good Irish Catholic boy. What are these "wanks" of which you speak?

You know, I’ve never been to Times Square since they cleaned it up.

Oh man! I forgot top shelf magazines in newsagents. Not even adult mags any more now, nobody wants them.

Don't you know anything? Back in the day, phone boxes would keep communication open by calling to each other across vast distances. These mating calls were known as "Phone calls".

Yeh, lawyer ads in general: had an accident at work? Mis-sold a PPI? **** off you bloodsucking ****s.

Good growth of muscle and bone structure starts at early ages, and if you don't build a solid foundation for a healthy lifestyle early on, you'll have a synergistic effect as time goes on and you grow older. Atrophy sets in quicker and you're more prone to disease and illnesses. The "play for an hour a day" campaign is a good idea and a kind of compromise to meet children in the middle with all the options set before them with today's technology, but imho kids need more exercise than just an hour. Basically, what I'm trying to say is: Gtfo the house ya little brats.

...and in summation:

Spoiler for ya spoiled rotten little booger flickers:

Agree 100%

The Little House On the Prairie story again...

Chicago Television- Changing Channels Part VIII

I remember being a human remote too. Good times man.

Oh man yes. When you actually had to get up to change the channel. And anyone remember getting your new TV and having to tune in all the channels?

I have to ask: why is R2 a murderer?

How many people died on the Deathstar? Who in that movie tried harder to kill all of those people than R2D2?

TGIF sitcoms in the kitchen on your 11" tv with the built in remote, while your parents watch old people law and order in the living room.

I feel sorry for anyone who didn't grow up with Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It was one of those life defining shows.

Um, all of Red Squadron? Are you high? R2 just sat in the back like Luke's overpacked luggage. He didn't kill anyone.
