Why not? You climb the mountain because it's there, not because you should.

Amounts to the same thing, but yeah. Sometimes part of pimping your nethers is pimping other people's nethers.

We've got threads for both over in OG, for what that's worth. I've got both, but it's been a while since I've played starbound -- it's still sorta' in development, and I've been holding off until it's, well, done. Whenever that happens. Biggest problem with asking over OG is there's been a fair amount of negative opinion build up (mostly for fairly trivial reasons, really) against starbound over the last year or so, and asking there is likely to get folks being jackasses instead of constructive. S'a lot of dross to parse through in regards to more recent stuff on the SB thread, too.

If I had to choose between the two, right here and now, though, I'd probably say Terraria. It's a bit more mature, so to speak, with the primary downside to it being that many of the folks that have it are pretty played out at this point, so multiplayer may be somewhat difficult to get in to. Starbound's a bit more thematically coherent (Terraria's ostensibly fantasy, but functionally all over the goddamn place, while SB's more-or-less sci-fi), but it's also still fairly in flux regarding a fair amount of its design and whatnot (which may or may not be an upside, really). Bonus point to SB, it's a lot more mod friendly than terraria, so if that's an issue for you, you may want to keep that in consideration.

Still, you can't really go wrong with either, imo. Neither's really bad, exactly. One's just in development and the other's, well. Not.

Bernie couldn't split a pea, never mind the vote :V

... every once in a while, I run into a bit of rap that's entirely too amusing. Link includes mortal kombat gameplay footage, so... yeah. Can find a download here, as well, along with the rest of an album it's on.

And for an entirely different sort of vocal work... a short an' silly a capella number whose name translates as "The Cricket". There's actually a cleaner version in Civ IV's music folder, if anyone has the game and is interested in the song :V

... at least it's a wig instead of just her hair.

You had two examples.

Probably just stupid marketers. Though why they're still around after 5+ years if they don't work?

They lose points for subtlety.

They haven't even begun to subtle. Ads are starting to implement HTML 5 videos. And let me just say, html 5 not being recognized as a plug-in or javascript offshoot is one of the most irritating things I've encountered lately. I don't bother with no-script or something, just disable JS and plug-ins when I'm browsing, and those bastard ads get through that. Really need to figure out how to turn html 5 off one of these days. I don't even use the damn stuff, and it's thoroughly annoying at this point.

... also one of the more amusing things about those ads is they often have outright porn versions floating around the frisky bits of the internet. Every once in a while I almost get tempted to try the things out, just to see if they're actually explicit...
