Aww, Myr, I didn't know you were a gaymer, too! Joysticks are fun ! GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony is not gay, you'll have to watch the Soprano's for any hint of a gay man in the underworld. I should make a return to WoW, but I don't want to get addicted again. Still it might be fun to play in "the closet". ----- Wonder when a truly open RPG will come out or MMO.

Happy Birthday Linxe!!!

True, but I want to bed guys as much as making out with them. Bully is a good game, too. Also for our bisexual/lesbian members, DA has the option of lesbian relationships just as well. Sims will be the best for modern gay fiction, but Dragon Age should be considered one of the best for gay fantasy. @Krista there's a mod that let's you bed Allistair and end up reigning as his "Queen". Hmmm, me thinks a gay game developer is afoot, but it turns out most of the game development team were women from what I read.

Dragon Age: Origins Gay storyline Who among you is an avid fantasy fan with an interest in up to date RPG video games? I know some people play WoW, but I've been hoping for a fun gay fantasy game to be available; this is still not there exactly, but it is quite fun. The first semi-gay sex scene is great landmark to how far we've gotten. Personally, I'd like to marry a werewolf, but an elf is so adorable as fantasy role playing romantic interest too. I know I am plugging my favorite Video game of the moment, but what I can I say, I am a "Gaymer" .

lucky, I'm only a fat cat that love Lasagna and Italian food. Hmm, Is there an italian recipe for Goat?

Happy Birthday!!!! :great:

Happy Birthday Johnathan!!!!! :D Hope you have fun :D

I was hoping this thread could be support and charitable links for people to help, the soapbox is for the ensuing debates.

Happy Birthday, Enoy it!

I'll try to see who I can reach; I didn't get a good night sleep over this. I kept thinking of Concentration Camps and other horrible things. This thread in general chat is more for me asking what we can do to help, the soapbox thread is the place where we can vent a bit. Just to clarify.

Barney Frank is busy with health care and financial reform to flip the boat over for his own people. Even among hte Dem's in mass, they're too busy with internal affairs to stop this blatant mass murder with pressure.

This piece of news got me worried and scared: Uganda's anti-gay "Final Solution" CNN Summary I can't believe this is happening again with such little outcry or news. I want to help wherever I can, but I don't know what to do. It is such a thinly veiled holocaust, anyone can see it. You know the saddest truth, no one will go in there to stop the Ugandan government, because gays are not a priority. People are being imprisoned and killed, yet, I don't know what to do about it except watch as it happens and unfolds in front of me. Does anyone have any ideas?

I miss lacey. Hope he get better.

Happy Birthday Benji!!!!!!!!!

$1,000,000 isn't much money nowadays. Banks don't offer good rates until you hit somewhere closer to $50 million. $1,000,000 dollar credit lines are what most small vendors like independent bookstore, furnishing, restaurant, and other non-chain people have for their purchases. Non-Corporate expenses are the ones that have the biggest problems with interest rates.

Have a happy birthday and enjoy life

Happy Birthday, Dude

It seems like a lot of people like the peanuts. I will have to watch the 1930's version of A Christmas Carol, hope it is good. Home Alone is great, but I don't ever want to leave my kid on Christmas.

I hope you can find a good Credit card company with the lowest rates available. My discover has a 11.99% variable rate, while my chase has 13.24%, so I wouldn't characterize myself as any better. My Credit history is pretty clean except for some student loans, which were accrued last year during my Master's program. There's a large amount of issues with the Credit Card industry. We need financial reform.

I've seen the 1950's version on AMC, it was a classic. There's a 1940 version as well, which might be what you mean. I think George C. Scott had a great version that is true to the book with a nice amount of imagery. I think A Charlie Brown Christmas is wonderful with many lovable anecdotes that still ring true. How the Grinch stole Christmas is also classic, but I will be frank, it is pretty one note to me. I liked it as a kid, but it lacks something to appeal to me as I got older. I will also have to say no to A Christmas Story, not because I did not like it or it is not a classic, but it is due to being forced to watch it for 24 hours straight. One Christmas they had the movie on for a 48 hours. I wanted to kill the studio executives, who thought it was a good idea to do a 48 hour marathon. After that I have to say I could never watch A Christmas story without thinking about being flooded by marathons.

Yeah, I know I have too much sentiment for old things. I like old Christmas movies with a special place for A Christmas Carol remakes each year, I also re-read the entire short book each year as a Holiday tradition. For my top 5: 1. A Christmas Carol (1984)- George C. Scott was in my opinion the best Scrooge ever. The TV movie was made before I was born, but the production values and characters are timeless 2. An American Carol (1979)- Henry Winkler as an American version of Scrooge during his Happy Days career, I really like this story set in depression era New England versus Industrial 19th century England. 3. Christmas Every Day (1996)- Cute little movie with fun little takes on a modern Christmas and its hazards. There's a not so subtle anti Wal-Mart message. 4. Miracle on 34th Street (1947)- A true classic of Cinema, I love the old story and its message against the backdrop of skepticism that there is still room for hope in something bigger. 5. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)- Like a Christmas Carol, the peanut's A Charlie Brown Christmas is a classic in its own way. I love the story and the search for meaning in a holiday that has been losing its meaning for years now. Anyone else got their top 5.

After 20 years here, you grow accustomed to cold. I advice trying a little ice skating during the summer time, it keeps your body temps even for our winters (If anyone wonders, I suck at hockey, mainly due to my bad hand eye coordination on the ice, so I rarely play it. I can ice skate fine, but I can't focus on the puck and ten other guys around me with one eye. I do enjoy ice skating in summer, best way to cool down in my opinion.) I wonder how many people went online today versus going to stores on black Friday.

I never did understand why plaid came back into fashion, but I guess odd things do happen. I am more of a striped polo shirt and jeans person with a few wool sweater thrown in to balance my winter clothing, which I rarely wear to be honest. It was exhausting, but fun throughout the weekend of sales and deals. I slept for most Saturday and sunday to make up for Friday's insane rain soaked and pneumonia inducing shopping frenzy.

Happy Birthday Tim!

I know what you mean, we should go shopping sometime. By the way I got an epiphany while waiting in line. Well for the cold and huddled masses waiting at Best Buy; it was quite a sight. Waiting in line starting at 7 PM to 4:55 AM, the line kept growing and temperature kept falling. The zeal of excitement and promises of bargains for everyone was all that kept the ravenous hordes at bay from killing each other for the first spot in line. I sat there waiting for the vouchers to be passed and being lucky enough to be among the first 30; I got the majority of my shopping list done. I've learned a few things during the night that have given pause and a deeper sense of understanding for the homeless. I merely had to spend one night outside in the cold of my own free will to purchase a few goods; other people around the area are not so lucky. Beyond the long lines of consumer, there were homeless people sleeping in makeshift sleeping places and collecting soda cans. Some wayward consumers at first glance thought they were one of them; crazy enough to brave the frosty weather for a new electronic gadget or tool. At first glance, the Best Buy Customers looked like homeless people as well waiting in line with sleeping bags, plastic trash bags to water proof their spot, or the ubiquitous dirty look due to being stuck in a parking lot for the night. There's a big difference between us, consumers, and the homeless; we get a chance to go back home and enjoy thanksgiving leftovers, while we wrap presents for our loved ones. They do not have any of our creature comfort and I finally understand how hard it is to live like them. I know it sounds tripe and kind of stupid from a guy that just spent several hundred dollars on a laptop for his sister and a new Ps3 gaming console for himself. It is such a duality in my mind right now; perhaps, it is due to 24 hours with no sleep, but I do feel guilt over my purchases. Though, it is not enough for me to return them; I do have guilt over doing that in the face of such reality that I learned.
