...The oceans won't rise from Global Warming because God promised there wouldn't be another flood. (paraphrased)
Seriously? But God isn't causing global warming, we are! In any case, the Great Flood was probably the Black Sea filling in. (I think it was the Black Sea.) Same as Atlantis.
This is how Two-Face will die in the next Batman movie.It's like decapitating yourself with a coin flip.That's not how it goes at all! The coin flips upward at such a velocity that it catches under your chin and pulls your skull and spine out of your body, Predator-style.
Gym-and-workout-at-home-buddies, actuallyI'm about to start feeling that burn very soon. Wolfeyez has been talking about taking me to the gym. I have not been in...well, a couple of years, and I'm in the worst shape of my life. Hopefully, we'll push each other to succeed. Gym buddies, hoooo!Yeah, but I didn't even do all that much. I knew in an academic sense that I was badly out of shape, but damn...Miiiight have overdone the exercise earlier. Both arms are killing me right nowThat's a good thing. You know it's working.
But then you get to Super Metroid, the end of which left more than one macho-manly gamer crying a river. Funny how that works, eh?Metroid series?I think part of the point was having female protagonists that aren't just eye candy, but rather real people who can have their own relationships.
Samus being a girl wasn't meant to be 'Oh yea, and Samus is a girl, guess that fucked up your perception of this bad ass space marine. How sexist of you!', but rather 'Ok you beat our game, enjoy some fan service of a girl in a skimpy outfit' and has just followed since then. She hasn't truly evolved as a female in any meaningful way, with the exception of the end of Metroid II, an ending that some people think of as a sign of feminine weakness beause instead of doing the 'manly' thing and blasting the critter away, she actually showed some fucking emotion.
