  1. I'd hardly say it's PC gone mad, it's just people gone mad.  I just don't see, how a shortened version of something that people define themselves as (be it transvestite or transgender or transatlantic airline pilot) can suddenly be decided to be derogatory.  Admittedly, it will have been used in a derogatory fashion towards a lot of people who choose to live that way.  But if people took it upon themselves to start shouting 'Oi, you bloody transgender!' would they have to find a new term to describe themselves?

    If I were gay, I'd be more offended if someone were to call me a queen, than if they were to call me a homo.  It's like, yeah, I am gay, good job noticing.  But I am not in fact a woman.

    Anyway.  Yeah, words is words.  And it's a bit ridiculous that you decided to make a point of someone using a throwaway remark like that, and make an issue out of it. 

    Actually, I think I've probably just made a bigger issue out of it than anyone.  Umm.. yeah, Raw was Raw.

  2. Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but Broforce is bloody awesome.

    It's basically exactly what you want from a game featuring characters such as Rambro, Snake Broskin, Robrocop, Bronan, and a fuckton more. (lots of blood and explosions basically).

    Edit: Oop.  Just did a search, and yes it has.  Full game's out now though, so anyone who hasn't checked it out already definitely should.

  3. That's the thing though isn't it.  When pretty much the whole of the crowd will know about it anyway from Facebook, Twitter and what have you; it'd be kind of insulting their intelligence not to acknowledge it.

    You only have to look back to the Lita, Edge and Matt Hardy stuff to see that the crowd will jump on that kind of stuff immediately, and that was about 10 years ago wasn't it?

  4. Whilst researching this issue (as someone had already mentioned Pan's Labyrinth, which reminded me I need to watch that again (that and the fact, I have very little going on in my life)),  I found out Shia LaBeouf is in a 10 minute short film involving Sigur Ros, which was a little like going to a alternative reality. (not the film itself, just the fact that Shia LaBeouf and Sigur Ros have worked together on something)

    Anywho.. Beasts of the Southern Wild might float that boat you fancy sailing. (I base this entirely on this list: http://itcher.com/mag/movies-like-pans-labyrinth/ , as it's the only one of those I've seen)  Also, I seem to remember enjoying Big Fish quite a lot, and that being a similar sort of thing.

    Oh, and watch Being John Malkovic anyway if you haven't as it's great.




     

  5. Spiders are fine until they're out of sight, then I just assume they've crawled into my ear or something.  Crafty buggers.

  6. Yeah, I was merely trying to rationalize why someone would end up with the mindset that led them to cheat.  Relationships can be both the best and worst of things for your mental wellbeing.  

    Luckily I don't know of a friendly neighbourhood crack dealer..

    In terms of open relationships.. Aforementioned girlfriend was the kind of person was the type of person I would've gladly spent the rest of my life with. and the thought of her sleeping with someone else still drives me nuts to this day.

    On the other hand, I have a family friend who I've known since I was in the womb, who I've hooked up with, and I wouldn't mind us being in a fuck buddy situation at all.  

    Basically, it's all down to the emotional attachment with someone.  After all, sex is pretty good fun, and I've had a lot of fun having a kickabout with my mates; none of whom I've fallen if love with (yet) so if you can manage to separate the two, you've got a pretty sweet thing going on.

  7. When I was, I think, about 17; my best mate at the time informed me on a night out that my girlfriend cheating on me.  Now, I know he couldn't've known for certain if this had happened, as he didn't hang around with any of the circle of friends it would've happened with.

    However, even after she had vehemently denied it, I was insanely suspicious of her; to the point that I got into fights with lads she was chatting to (including one against five fellas, which went as well as you can imagine).

    Following all this, I was presented with the opportunity myself to cheat, to which I thought, well fuck it, she did it, why shouldn't I?  

    Despite me loving her to death, there were 4 more times, which to this day she doesn't have a clue about.  I think it's just an ego boosting thing.  (I didn't on one occasion approach the girl but vice versa)

    So, now she's happily married, and I can't remember the last time a girl approached me since she left me.  So kids, ermmm... yeah, get photographic evidence if someone you love is accused of something.

     

  8. Speaking of all this, when was the last time the WWE hired anyone conventionally unattractive. Probably Amazing Kong. The way things nowadays, there's just as many people who go for the AJ/Paige type look as they do the Bellas. Hell, when you think of the average wrestling fan, there's probably more, as they think they're more attainable.
