You know you're a loser nerd, if a photoshopped image of what's probably a mannequin turns you on.

I'm not making fun of Gamer98, just myself.

Yes, nice pic if you are gay. I don't mean that in an offensive way, I have no problem if you are. It's just that pic is homoerotic, so if everyone here is so fascinated by that pic, then maybe you should take this survey.

It's ok. Nobody cares. About 10% of males like the sight of half-naked muscular men carrying a long sword.

"My 4 year old daughter stole a pack of gum and i gave her the whooping of a lifetime."

Hmm, I wonder why you don't have custody?

Back to the topic, taking your christmas present early should not send you to juvenile hall. Stealing and punching a cop should. If this wasn't a last straw there wouldn't have been an issue.

I guess this is somehow related to Xbox Live because it will eventually end up on Marketplace. Okay, fine it's not that related to the topic, but I felt like letting you guys know as soon as it happened. The commercial didn't even seem like it was for Halo 3 at first, which is why it felt a lot shorter than a minute.
*mild spoilers*
You see the shadows of what seems like two kids by themselves on an island. They are wondering what it's like for everyone else outside the island. It was kind of hard to hear what they were saying, but it was something along the lines of "I'm sure everyone else is wondering about us as well". I think.

Anyway all of a sudden you cut to a desert where you here gunshots firing off in the background. You see Master Chief's helmet on the ground, and a guy grabs it. Then he grabs a gun, and starts running. All of a sudden he throws what looks like a grenade on the ground, but it forms a shield bubble. Some sort of laser gets shot at him, but it gets deflected. Then he keeps on running, until he reaches the top of a hill. He leans over and sees a whole army facing his direction and marching forward. He jumps down right at them.

The screen cuts to "Halo 3 Finish the Fight"

My description isn't perfect but I'm sure you'll get to understand it more once it gets put on YouTube. I just wanted to put out an initial report.

Ok, obviously none of us know the full story so we can't be sure about anything. But this is what seems to be true so far.

1.The guy was unarmed except for the fact that the guy was carrying a controller. And we know how light the Sixaxis is http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/18/sixaxis-controller-is-worth-its-weight-ps3-annoyance-002/

2. I own a mutt that's part German Shepherd and although these dogs might snarl, they're still dogs. You don't need to kill them. This aspect of the case IS important because it kind of makes the case that the cop was acting in self-defense a little less reputable.

And according to the roomate, the guy wasn't shot by jumping at the cops, in fact he was on the ground.

" 'Four or five shots went off and they killed him,' he said. 'They pinned me down to the ground and told me not to move anything.' Within seconds, Strickland lay on the floor moaning while officers held a gun to Rhoton's head as he lay on the floor. He said they mentioned something about a search warrant, but they did not provide a copy."

There are ways to stop people besides killing them. You can use Tasers or bean bag rounds, or shoot them without killing them. You know, like, in the leg or something.

I'm not the kind of person who thinks that all cops are corrupt. But I also don't think all cops are heroes. They have a job, and like any other worker, some are really good and some are really bad. Just like the guy who was killed, the sheriff is innocent until proven guilty. But there is going to have to be a lot of evidence to come out to make me think this guy didn't step over the line.

A great adventure is waiting for you ahead
Hurry onward Lemmiwinks, or you will soon be dead
The journey before you may be long and filled with
woe
But you must escape the gay man's ass so your tale
can be told

Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks

Lemmiwinks journeyed a distance far and fast
To find his way out of a gay man's ass
The road ahead is filled with danger and fright
But push onwards Lemmiwinks with all of your might

The Sparrow Prince lies somewhere way up ahead
Don't look back Lemmiwinks or you'll soon be dead
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks the time is growing late
Slow down now and seal your fate.

Take the magic helmet torch to help you light the
way
There's still a lot of ground to cross inside the
man so gay
Ahead of you lies adventure, and your strength
still lies within
Freedom from the ass of doom is the treasure you
will win

Now that you're the Gerbil King there's more
adventures to go on
Fly away to faraway lands into the setting sun
There's still so many enemies and battles yet to
fight
For Lemmiwinks the Gerbil King to be told another
night
Lemmi, Lemmi, Lemmiwinks
Lem, Lemmiwinks
Lemmiwinks, Lem, Lemmi, Lemmiwinks
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks,
Gerbil King!

I'm with you reguy, some of the people on this thread are crazy.

"So if one of these wimpy thugs wanna rob me I will (with great pleasure) end their existence." Obviously, you've never heard of two wrongs don't make a right.

And crono141, simply put, you're a fucking idiot. I'd
imagine if there were two armed gunman, one guy would be collecting the money, and the other guy would be watching out for anyone making a move.If you've ever worked at, or know someone who works at a bank, they always say just listen to the gunmen. Shit, when I worked at Gamestop they had notices about doing exactly what the robbers say. Oh, but everyone is just a pussy. They're never really gonna do anything. A few years ago about 15 minutes away from my house two
workers at an EB Games got murdered during a robery. This was the only murder I can think of that happened in my county. Police say there was a struggle. 99% of the time if everyone listens, no one gets hurt.

32_Footsteps, have you ever smoked pot or had a drink before you were 21 once in your life? Ever gotten in a fight? What about a driving ticket? You never jaywalked or snuck into a movie theater? Everyone's commited some type of crime even though videogames haven't neccessarily caused it. Oh and uh Ben Hobbs I know the UK has the Parliament, and they have all the power, but you still have a queen right? So doesn't that make you a monarchy?

Uh, not so fast Give me Stars or give me Death! I don't think we can all agree on that. Pillsbury's isn't kosher, so I don't eat it.

Jennie, will you dance for me?
