The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Questions of the day: Why is it that people always turn to the fattest guy they know for movie advice and opinions? Why is it online that when people talk about rap they always talk like a dumbass white guy trying to be a thug? Why do people always point

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Because the stereotype of a movie critic is of a fat white guy who sits on the couch all day, because ebonics doesn't translate well into text, and because watches tell time. Any more stupid questions?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>As for the Chronicles of Riddick, I was pretty entertained. But then again, I'm a sucker for Sci-Fi flicks with a bad-ass anti-hero, so there may be a significant amount of bias represented here.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I knew what he meant. I was just messin' with him. =8^) Yeah, people use gestures to communicate. Like...if I need scissors, I actually start "scissoring" my fingers. Or if I need to pee, nevermind. =8^D</div>
