People like this are why the rest of the world views us Americans as raging, ignorant uber-christian assholes. This HAS to stop.
The rest of the world has plenty of uber-X assholes. If you haven't stayed abroad long enough, be assured, they're everywhere.
Although let me also say I completely support economic boycotts of corporate causes you don't agree with and voicing your opinion, even if I strongly disagree with it. That's the foundation of core American principles.
I always just assume that anyone I make plans with will forget the whole thing, so I always call them multiple times right beforehand to ensure they don't plan something else.
If noon is defined as the time of day when the sun crosses the local meridian, does this mean it's always noon at the North and South Poles as all meridians meet there?

In most places on Earth, local time is determined by longitude, such that the time of day is more-or-less synchronised to the position of the sun in the sky (for example, at midday the sun is roughly at its highest). This line of reasoning fails at the North Pole, where the sun rises and sets only once per year, and all lines of longitude, and hence all time zones, converge. There is no permanent human presence at the North Pole, and no particular time zone has been assigned. Polar expeditions may use any time zone that is convenient, such as Greenwich Mean Time, or the time zone of the country they departed from.
Great little game.
I managed to complete it first go.
Everyone died apart from the main guy, (who was close to dying from measles but the final push got him to the end).
Still, considering I only had a handful of supplies, I managed to make it all the way.
(Scavenging for food when I needed it, Scrambling for vital fuel, trading like a madman to get something out of my spares. Being stingy with medpacks ect.)

It was certainly a good experience.
Love that game. Named all of the characters after religious dieties. Nothing like driving down the road and having a status box pop up which reads "Jesus has dysentary"
Theres an anti Starbucks video cos they support gay marriage.
My favourite part is where he talks about supporting "the freedoms we have in this country". Uhh... allowing gay marriage still means you are totally free to not marry a dude.
I am so much more comfortable advocating alcohol abuse now I have that mod disclaimer in my sig.
If that doesn't end up in your signature or on Facebook or Google+ or something, I'm going to... I dunno, drink or something. I'll probably do that anyway. Whatever.
Glad I haven't bought it already because I'm definately getting that version!
EDIT: Its currently $15 ($30 normally)
Man GOG. You guys are so freakin' cool!
EDIT 2:
Note to self:
Remember this idea for a magic system.
Have magic be handled in classes.
Lower level mages, can use low level magic at practically zero costs.
Simple enchantments, object manipulations, minor "trick" spells.
Stuff thats not all that useful, but if smartly used could help out.
(So you could set someone's wig on fire as you walked out of a bar, or used magic to simulate a smack on a bottom to get someone in trouble)
Higher levels of magic cost more mana, proportionately more at each class.
Say a level 5 mage could cast 1 Class 3 spell/6 Class 2 Spells/20 Class 1 spells for example, before needing to recharge.
(Infinite "Class 0" magic, which are basically like the pranks I mentioned earlier)
They could also take "mastery" classes at certain points that basically turn higher level spells into Class 0 spells.
(So a Level 10 mage could cast X Class 1 spells at no cost, but misses out on more powerful specialisations, enhancements or alternate spells. They also do base damage minimum ignoring enemy checks. So a basic fire spell would become very handy in clearing out weak enemies instantly, which would help if the party got mobbed by hundreds of minions)
This way, lower and more niche spells get used more often (due to low risk of use), but the higher level of magic still has that meat to it.
EDIT: Combine this with some kind of spell stacking or mage fusion system (where two magic can combine spells together) then magic will become very very useful.

Telltale doesn't advocate alcohol abuse? Darn it, there goes my idea for their next interface! Instead of walking in the direction you indicate, the characters would just sort of stumble around depending on their intoxication level. Guaranteed to extend the play time it takes to solve the game! Oh well.

Silly goose! This is what you do in the Witcher!
Or... at least it's what I did in the Witcher. Drunk fighting is twice as fun as sober fighting in that game.

Reminds me of that potion in Prince of Persia that inverts the screen and switches the left/right arrow keys. Or that one lab room in Hugo's House of Horrors... oh wow this makes me feel old.
"Wibbly wobbly" is a pretty fun game to try (intoxicated or no). Hold a broom vertically (close to your body), spin round and round really fast a bunch of times, then throw the broom on the ground and try to jump over it. It's a good spectator sport.
I may have just made a GOG account with someone else's email.
(I thought I had a gmail email of my username and I was going to use it to make a annon gifting account on GOG (my GOG account uses my personal email))
The Gmail account might be mine, but I can't remember the password.
(And the security question asks me for a library card number which I don't remember setting as a security question, so it might not actually be me... oooh dear...)
EDIT: Sent a support ticket off, explaining this and asking for a little help on their end.
(Might be nice if they deleted the account, and just said like "someone made a mistake, sorry for the confusion". Its harmless anyway, since I'd be using my paypal to buy stuff anyway! XD)

Watching the new series of Ricky Gervais Show. Makes my sides hurt from laughing at Karl Pilkington.
That reminds me, I still have a few episodes of An Idiot Abroad and the full season of An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List siting on my DVR from the April Fool's marathon. Things have just been a little too crazy around here to make time, but I really have been wanting to watch through it.
Five Days with out a cigarette. I feel great and also I feel this has been the hardest thing for me. But I'm becoming healthier and securing a place in my childrens future.
Naive as I am, I thought that with the release of TWD, a bunch of far too young and irritatingly impatient complete Telltale newbies would enter the forum spamming "When's the next episode" repeatedly.
Now I see that "old and impatient" is also very much a possibility.

That's not annoying in the slightest
Except for the fact that I'm usually right and they HAVE forgotten.

Its basically Oregon Trail with Zombies.

Forgetting's the most annoying part!
I usually just lie and pretend that I remembered all along though. :cool:
In other words, "Maybies".
I'm not sure what to think about this.
Since they now carry your favorite beer, doesn't this mean that you don't have to think?
...Maybe.

Glad we cleared that up!
By golly gosh was it demente indeed. WTF is up with Cafe Patron?? Tequila has NO business being that quaffable.
Bahahaha!
The only logical course of action is to drink less tea and more beer.
You know what? That's just crazy enough to work!
...I fight the system even if there is no system. I up make the system and then fight it. Booyeah.
Do you have a newsletter for me to subscribe to?

I am totally ok with this. So there.
... No seriously, that sounds really good. Take pics!
In other news, how awesome are Ashleigh and Pudsey? D'aww.

Well, dang it. Now I want a cheeseburger. I may grill some tomorrow.
Telltale cheeseburger cook-off! Don't tempt me to join in... I got leftovers I need to use.
GOG got Alan Wake! O_O
(With the DLC too. DRM Free)

Doit
Acting like dorks at the midnight showing of Avengers. We got to see it in IMAX 3D and the jack and cokes really made the movie awesome.
Yes please.
That just might become my new avatar. Too bad for that Secret Fawful fellow who made my current avatar.
Now I see that "old and impatient" is also very much a possibility.
(Just got to get in the mood to play it. My tastes spin round like a roulette wheel these days)
