I'm 22 and I only address my parents as Mom and Dad. They will obviously address each other using their first names but if my dad wants me to call my mother or asks me where she is he will say "call Mom" or "Where is Mom?". I really only use their names if I have to tell someone who my parents are for some reason.
Scandinavian languages just seem excessive in terms of spelling. Also why would you post something about the US space program in Finnish? But yeah I'm pretty sure a mod will lock this shortly for not being English.
Thomas O'Malley, Robin Hood, or Mulan. Can't decide between those three although Mulan is probably the most badass out of all of them seeing as she kills a couple hundred Mongols.
@ripelivejam: I have no problem with them using CGI to finish out Paul Walker's scenes in this movie since he had already started filming for it and like you said it can be seen as a tribute to him that the movie get finished with him in it rather than scraping it and starting over. However, if they tried to put a CGI Paul Walker into the next film I think that would be crossing a line and be way more exploitative then tribute.
I love the Fast and Furious franchise. I've really enjoyed how it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous/crazy which I understand since it would be difficult to make a lasting movie franchise based solely around street races without some crazy action scenes.
It will be weird to see Paul Walker though and I hope the parts where he's CG is well done. It'll be interested to see how they handle the end of the Brian O'Connor character. whether they straight out have him killed off or do something like having the character leave the "life" to take care of his kid.
I'm at a little over 6 years myself. I think my join date was a couple weeks after the first day you could register an account. It's hard for me to remember early Giantbomb at this point. I can't remember what the site looked like only basically the things that happened or the people who worked there and in the office above.
Holy shit. Looking at what the site looked like when I first joined in 2008 was crazy. Recognized some of the descriptions of the Bombcasts but not the site itself.
I've never seen my mom so much as play a game on her iPhone.
My dad is pretty random when it comes to video games. He's never owned a game console and the only computer game I think he ever bought for himself was this Star Trek game like fifteen or so years ago give or take a couple years. He never really got into though from what I remember and only played it a couple times.
He also once bought me a Ghost Recon game since he's a big fan of the Tom Clancy books and has read all of them. He would ask to play the game with me every once in a while but that only happened like a dozen or so times. That was years ago and now whenever I'm home and happen to be using my PS4/3 if he walks into the room he might watch for a couple minutes and make a random comment before loosing interest.
He will also get really into random browser based games from time to time. At one point he played a shit ton of this penguin bowling type game and some helicopter assault type game. He's also used to play a lot of solitaire.
I work as a greens-keeper at a private golf course during the summers in between college semesters. Working there for the last four summers has been some of the best times I have had in my life. The pay isn't that great for the amount and kind of work you do and the hours are fairly harsh (I work six days a week with a start time of 5:30 AM at the latest). However, the people I work with/for and just the work in general I find really enjoyable despite the negatives that go with the job. The fact that this coming summer will probably be the last summer I work there is really depressing to me. It may not be the type of job that my professional "career" will be focused on but it will always be one of my favorite, if not the favorite, jobs I have ever had.
