There's only one user here who has the courage to truly live that dream...

Touche.

Meaningless posts. I don't do polls. And I don't do interesting. I try to at least be amusing in my inanity...

edit: OK try is a bit strong. I hope to at least be amusing in my inanity is more like it...

is interesting a synonym for unhinged? because I'm getting that reputation

not entirely undeservedly, I admit

I just don't understand why some people flood the forums with multiple two response poll questions day after day? What's the point? What do they get out of it? Do they really care?

Meaningless blogposts

I'd rather be known as someone who has nice things to say. I don't do polls, and I can't imagine I say anything meaningful on a consistent basis.

Look if you have something to say to duskvamp, just say it. no need for the passive aggressiveness.

I'd rather be known as that guy who blew up the moon.

I feel as if there's some sort of metatext here, but I just can't pin it down.

Dusky? It's over baby, we're donesville. I've got a life on the edge. I need someone that can keep up. That chick from Far Cry is my woman now. She understands me and my needs more than you ever could. Try not to get too down about it, there are other fish in the sea. But this bird's gotta fly.

I stand by my answer to that thread. If the discussion on Giant Bomb were only about video games then I'd have nothing to contribute. The fuck do I know of video games?

#19 Posted by JasonR86 (7685 posts) - 5 months, 12 days ago

I don't see these things as being mutually exclusive.

God damn it you've just used up all the possible discussion of video games in one post! That's it! Shut these forums down!

I'd like to be that guy you know?

#23 Posted by Wrighteous86 (3363 posts) - 5 months, 12 days ago

Yeah, this thread was passive aggressive bullshit. Should be locked.

#24 Posted by PsEG (3199 posts) - 5 months, 12 days ago

Normally, when a user says a thread should be locked, I walk away from the computer for a few hours and do something else with my life.

I think I'll make an exception here. Wish granted!
