![]() | I didn't know you were so interested in Jessica Simpson |
![]() | Frankly, wouldn't a reality TV show with Jessica Simpson be a comedy? |
![]() | I was responding to your fascination with her stupidity |
![]() | they have that show already |
![]() | I could care less |
![]() | Newlyweds on MTV, IIRC |
![]() | I didn't realized I came across as "fascinated" |
![]() | I think "amused by" would be mo propa |
Arguably one of the most interesting and revealing Google Image search results ever
![]() | I thought these were underwear ![]() |
![]() | I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for was "widget" |
![]() | They're all widgets |
![]() | Lots of cats named Widget, apparently |
![]() | bird.. dog |
![]() | horse... |
![]() | what am I looking for again? |
![]() | Your pants |
SI.com - MLB - Reds' Stenson shot, dragged to death - Wednesday November 5, 2003 11:09PM
![]() | Dragged to death? |
![]() | by an SUV |
![]() | I think they ran him over and he got caught in the undercarriage |
![]() | Someone had fun |
![]() | that would be a first in arizona |
![]() | </tasteless> |
I can die a happy man
![]() | follow this link |
![]() | If you can die a happy man, then I can kill a happy man, just come over here and let me stab you with this fork |
![]() | yes, we be number 2 for momjokes |
![]() | But alas, we are beaten out by "hilarioushumor.com" |
![]() | I love that domainname |
![]() | I could laugh all day just thinking about it |
![]() | can't keep their asses to themselves |
![]() | When your face looks like that, you can't really help that |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | Dorsey:Biceps :: Manning:Handsome |
![]() | you do realize that WE can keep that assface from the public, even if they can't |
![]() | do you think he loses out on endorsements because he's so homely? |
![]() | I'd imagine so, and its not like he's getting paid for any voice overs either with his slurry stupid southern drawl of stupidity |
![]() | Surely there's some product that is best sold by a stupid ugly southern idiot retard |
![]() | *cough Bradshaw cough* |
![]() | At least Bradshaw causes people to laugh at him... Manning causes people to HATE |
revisiting tivo commercials...
![]() | If I knew people were tivo'ing my show I'd contact tivo and find out how to make adverts look good in fast fwd |
![]() | ooh, great idea |
![]() | probably do something cool for all teh levels of fast |
![]() | it would probably work for tivo too, they could license the technology |
![]() | i pray tivo doesn't go out of business |
![]() | they seem to be becoming a very mainstream product |
![]() | see, if you have commercials look cool, but different in the each of the bloop boop levels of fast, then some may watch the advert thricely |
![]() | If I was a patent happy monkey, I would patent this and GIVE it to tivo |
![]() | a key to making it work is ensuring you reset to an appropriate keyframe at the beginning of a fastforward command |
![]() | like the technology doesn't exist for this.. |
![]() | its no more than a sunday afternoon's work |
![]() | you know what my least favorite sound in the world is? |
![]() | something tivo related, i'd assume? |
![]() | the BLONG when there is no more bloop boop available |
![]() | I'd like to re-iterate that this is a brilliant idea |
I'd like to meet the pitch guy for this show
![]() | "Its like Romeo and Juliet, only BAD" |
![]() | "And it will be more overdramatic than Playmakers" |
![]() | I think someone needs to do a mockumentary, ala Windy City Heat, except with bad TV shows |
![]() | like the joke will be on the TV execs |
![]() | "they're only in middleschool... but they know they are soulmates" |
![]() | This undated handout photo shows a contestant in the first ever Miss 'Digital' World competition. |
![]() | hey warren, you should photoshop a picture of your mom and enter that contest |
![]() | Virtual divas will have the chance to challenge Sofia Loren for her sex-symbol throne in their own beauty contest |
![]() | since when is Sofia Loren the sex symbol? |
![]() | she's like 90 |
This looks like virtua tennis ++
![]() | http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/sports/topspin/review.html |
![]() | With xbox live, no less |
![]() | I added it to my gamelender queue |
![]() | ... |
Captain Janeway is selling Fords on the television
![]() | I don't know what to say |
![]() | with phasers? |
![]() | I think she wants to make sure the Maquis don't take them over |
![]() | Ford Phaser.. thats a good name for a car |
![]() | better than PROBE, at least |
![]() | I suppose Ford really wants to work their "drive in one direction for a very very long time as fast you can" angle |
![]() | the car has no impulse power? |
![]() | Ford Impulse could be a car also |
![]() | No impulse power, but the leather package comes with a chef named Neelix |
![]() | as a part of the leather? or as a separate feature? |
![]() | Exactly. |
![]() | so supple |
![]() | .. |
![]() | the leather, you pervert |
![]() | |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | look at those nice mustaches |
![]() | |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | You got nothing! This is my boss!: |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | this is my boss |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | Haha, your boss doesn't exist! And also lacks a mustache! |
![]() | yeah, well at least my boss has a shirt |
![]() | doh, maybe not |
![]() | i swear that guy on the right has integrated beaver pelts in with his beard |
![]() | A extravagant mustache is something, but the suit that middle guy is wearing is REALLY something... dare you to wear that to work! |
![]() | Those other dudes are just misfit losers with too much facial hair, a bewildered look, the fashion relevance of their monstrous mustaches. But the middle guy is in a class of his own, an all-star among freaks. |
I have no desire to watch the football game tonight
![]() | despite it being between two first place teams, it will be not so fun |
![]() | the pats will look totally crappy |
![]() | but then find a way to win |
![]() | it will be ugly |
Recording my genius here
![]() | See item #477 |
![]() | My prediction of Cinci losing to Arizona came true today |
![]() | doesn't seem that bold |
![]() | Yes but it was predicted SO LONG ago |
![]() | And SO accidentally |
![]() | wow, so indirect! |
Holy cow, have you seen this Vick/Nike commercial thats all computer generated?
![]() | Now thats a commercial! |
![]() | didn't see it |
![]() | Its exciting and very well done |
![]() | It depicts one-play on a snowy day in which Vick does his Superman thing and connects far downfield to his receiver for a touchdown |
![]() | I liked the vick commercial where he throws the ball out of the stadium |
Oakland lost to the Lions today
![]() | Callahan is so fired |
![]() | Apparently, Callahan's way of getting his players to respect him is with fines |
![]() | boy, I bet that sure makes players want to play for him |
I've had disgaea in my dreams
![]() | it really is a good game |
![]() | I have advanced my characters so highly in the item world, that the regular game is not a challenge |
![]() | I think other Strategy RPGs will not be good enough for me now :) |
![]() | as soon as I beat it, I'm busting out some XCOM |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | never would I have guessed that THIS was the caption... |
![]() | A Vodou believer pours hot pepper-spiced homemade alcohol on her genital area |
![]() | ... Is she using a funnel? |
![]() | And where is the drainage? Is there just going to be a puddle left where she stands? |
![]() | Perhaps thats why she's drawn a crowd... the lust of the poor for free booze, albeit booze that has touched both filthy crotch and filthy ground. |
![]() | And man, everyone sure is wearing alot of white |
![]() | Perhaps this is some strange marriage ceremony |
![]() | The woman is marrying her crotch and that spicy voodoo booze. |
![]() | In the voodoo sense, what do you think makes her "more holy"... more booze, or spicier booze? |
![]() | Quality or quantity, where do the voodoo gods lie in the crotch-booze-dousing debate? |
![]() | spicier |
![]() | Perchance this is a form of birth control... although it would be weird to put your clothes on to perform such a ceremony |
![]() | spicier bring more pain to the table |
![]() | The crotch table? |
![]() | the pain table |
![]() | I'd wager that standing up is the way to inflict the least pain... performing this ceremony while standing on your head, however... |
![]() | Where pools of booze can form in the crotchal region... |
![]() | maybe she is wearing a watertight underpants ensemble |
![]() | keeping that delicious alcohol in |
![]() | Marinating the crotch? |
![]() | So after she does this, whats next... sit around a minute... socialize? Get on the bus and go home? With pants covered in alcohol all over your crotch? I'm not sure if she's really thought this through to conclusion |
![]() | Maybe she has a shower and a new pair of pants nearby? |
![]() | I think water makes alcohol burn worse |
![]() | Ok, fine. Pop quiz, hot shot. You've just poured hot spicy alcohol on your crotch.. what do you do next, WHAT DO YOU DO? |
![]() | I get a time machine, and go back in time, and tell myself how dumb what I was about to do was |
![]() | I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for was "Pay the boy five cents to lick it off of you." |
Why Shaq is anti-Kobe
![]() | he wants to be the family endorser in the NBA |
![]() | families don't like rapists or infidels |
![]() | they like big happy dudes |
![]() | so go ahead and criticise Kobe |
![]() | if he's innocent, he still cheated on his wife |
big day o football tomorrow
![]() | VT fell on their face last week |
![]() | wonder if they rebound... I think yes |
![]() | how you like OSU, OU? |
![]() | STOOPS |
![]() | stoops loses frequently to OSU's coach |
![]() | STOOPS |
![]() | how you like MSU/UM? |
![]() | I can only hope it isn't decided by a ref or a timekeeper |
![]() | The outcome is unseen |
![]() | or by anyone employed by MSU for that matter |
Hey look! Post got a tattoo!
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | And a multi-million dollar pay raise? |
![]() | no, he's just playing pickup in this photo |
![]() | I'm a bit surprised that so many fans showed up |
![]() | Aye |
![]() | It must be that delicious ass |
![]() | Post only plays with Peja Stoyakovich |
![]() | Psh, Peja the Slutakovich, more like it |
heh, they had this big thing on doug christie on the radio
![]() | his wife was delivering the baby, and she got pissed because there were female nurses "looking at him" |
Big Problem if TiVos and other PVRs become ubiquitous in the future...
![]() | The idea of "ratings" for shows become very difficult to measure |
![]() | Traditional Nielsen Ratings track what show you're tuned to |
![]() | I record a lot of shows that I don't ever have time to watch |
![]() | So then, you say, only record the ratings if you actually watch the show |
![]() | Well then, the TV industry is used to getting "overnight" ratings: me waiting four days to watch something screws that up |
![]() | And fundamentally, those are used to sell advertisements... |
![]() | In a PVR-ubiquitous future, multiple areas of the TV paradigm are greatly perturbed. |
![]() | It will only make sense to play intertial ads during programming thats watched real-time, most often sporting events |
![]() | (which also can't be played without commercial due to the delays inherent to the games) |
![]() | Even better, while pondering TV paradigm shifts: imagine a future where TV shows are downloaded to your PVR in real-time over IP, the idea of "channels" becomes obsolete as we distance further from RF technology. In that future, there might not be any channels at all, you purchase per show, basically all television becomes on-demand pay-per-view |
![]() | But I'm sure there'd be package deals that would fundamentally be similar to today's channels |
![]() | Imagine how this would change cult-favorite shows. Instead of getting cancelled because they don't bring in enough advertising revenue, the show is able to price itself directly to the audience. |
![]() | Like educational videos that cost $150, when a show has a small audience, the price per person must increase |
![]() | But instead of such shows inevitably failing in today's environment, a financially motivated enough audience can keep a show from cancellation |
![]() | So in the end, PVRs free the audience from commercials, but now must pay for their TV with hard cash instead of spending time watching mindless commercials. For those who value time over money, its a good thing... for others... |
New season of 24 starts tonight
![]() | Previous two years have been magically delicious |
![]() | Can't beat Jack Bauer and his Spec Ops badassness |
![]() | And hey, last year they killed off Ensign Ro! Ain't nothing wrong with that! |
I see that Randy Moss is second in the NFL MVP voting on espn.com
![]() | a WR being an MVP seems unlikely |
![]() | then again, he's just edging out dante hall |
![]() | I find it disturbing that Jamal Lewis isn't listed |
![]() | no kidding. distinct lack of RBs |
![]() | As ESPN.com's team of ex-WR and ex-QB analysts will tell you, RBs are not needed in the National Football League |
![]() | for reference: holmes,14.5; hall,15.8; manning,15; mcnair,36.4; moss,18.1 |
![]() | wheres... STEPHEN DAVIS? |
![]() | Davis and Lewis are must-list RBs |
![]() | Is there not a single defensive player having a good year? |
![]() | Generally they at least list one token defensive player |
![]() | I'd give it to suggs and boulware. |
![]() | they're the MVP of tonytainment |
![]() | That sounds like an industry just waiting to boom.... and then crash horribly |
![]() | I actually think the defensive player making the biggest impact may be Dre Bly |
![]() | ed reed having a good year also. but he's more a product of the system |
![]() | Newly signed Jarious Jackson could get the start as 3rd stringer Danny Kanell has the flu |
![]() | Wide receiver Rod Smith is Denver's emergency quarterback. |
![]() | But Jackson is coming down with a cold: Jackson said he is taking medicine to try to reduce the discomfort of an oncoming cold. |
![]() | I'd imagine that Vegas doesn't know what to do with the line... |
![]() | However, I'd wager on the under, regardless of the O/U |
![]() | On Page2, two casinos are posting no line, no O/U... |
![]() | The other two: Ravens by 1.5, Ravens by 2. O/U of 38, O/U of 37. |
![]() | A 20-18 game... |
![]() | I'll take the under. I'd also take the bet that they go with no QB and just snap the ball to portis |
John Daly goes into rehab by demand of the PGA
![]() | It's been a stressful year for the 37-year-old, whose fourth wife, Sherrie, was recently charged as part of an alleged drug ring and faces up to 20 years in prison. |
![]() | Daly, who has said he will stand by his wife unless she is convicted, has performed poorly on tour in recent months. |
![]() | How romantic |
![]() | I saw Daly at the Buick Open. He chain smokes between holes. |
On average, my TiVo records 12 shows a day
![]() | My season pass manager list is 22 long |
![]() | Its a finely tuned machine |
![]() | Never have to watch "regular" TV, never have to watch commercials (save when watching live sporting events, but thats why you get two TVs!) |
![]() | Now if only there was remotely enough time to watch 84 shows a week! Oh well, at least I have the option! |
![]() | Captain Sigurdur Petursson, known to locals as "the Iceman," ran into the shallow water and grabbed the shark by its tail. He dragged it off to dry land and killed it with his knife. |
![]() | this guy needs a reality show |
![]() | screw the osbornes! |
![]() | The "Drag Sea Animals to Land And Kill Them Show" ? |
![]() | Would that be a half-hour or hour long? |
![]() | Icelandic author and journalist Reynir Traustason, who knows the trawler captain, said the act was typical of the man |
![]() | that leads me to believe he could fill an hour, at least! |
![]() | when killing a shark with a knife is typical, you need a reality show |
![]() | I didn't realize there were a lot of sharks near Iceland... thought they liked it a bit warmer... |
![]() | and they like it with fewer crazy fishing boat captains |
Wired News: Orgasmatron Puts Tech in Sex
![]() | Apologies for using Wired as the source on this... |
![]() | Applied 10 to 20 minutes before sex, the company says the device's gentle, pulsating current brings its wearer to a state of sexual readiness, where the "slightest touch" can trigger an orgasm. |
![]() | "As a journalist, I didn't have much faith in the product going into it, but it changed my mind," Patterson continued. "It warms the oven. It brings women to the one-yard line.... It's a wonderful product. I think the world of it." |
![]() | The company said the Slightest Touch was invented by accident. One of the four co-inventors, who are being kept anonymous, was trying to develop an electrical foot massager. Using his girlfriend as a test subject, the prototype didn't do so much for her feet, but it did stimulate her sexually, Comparini said. |
![]() | I think that if Tony and I were to put our intellects towards this type of endeavor, the results could be limitless |
![]() | can we use your mom as the test subject? |
![]() | We need to start with animals... your dog |
![]() | I didn't realize you were into that kind of thing |
![]() | cough pervert cough |
![]() | Its the technology I care about! |
THIS IS A SIGN
![]() | that Kobe is going to prison |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | Mmm, the fellowship of the rapists |
![]() | I mean, if you're going to trial for rape, do you really want Tyson on your side? |
![]() | "He is not guilty. Much like me!" |
![]() | I don't think Tyson is arguing that Kobe is innocent: he's arguing that rape rocks and shouldn't be a reason to put anyone in jail |
![]() | He's pro-rape, not pro-kobe |
![]() | don't forget child-eating |
![]() | Tyson could be selling some Kobe, for free |
![]() | frankly, i think in that photo, tyson isn't expressing any opinion, he's just trying to decide between two fonts |
![]() | wouldn't he be looking at the cards if he was deciding between them? I think he's playing a psychic game. |
![]() | he is looking at them! he's peeking upwards |
![]() | his disfigured boxers face makes it a tad tricky to notice... |
![]() | your claim is that he can see the font |
![]() | tyson has magic invisible periscopes or something? |
![]() | He can see through his skull |
![]() | You mean you can't? |
![]() | maybe only people that enjoy dog porn can |
![]() | I think the left sign is much more "fun", and definitely portrays the idea of giving away Kobe at zero-cost |
![]() | "free kobe! it will be fun!" versus "Freeing Kobe is the intelligent thing to do" |
![]() | no, more like "Free Kobe: Bring one home for the kids, no charge!" versus "Rape is great, don't you agree?" |
![]() | Really, Tyson probably just put a big pre-season bet on the Lakers and just wants to not lose his bet |
![]() | so if you make a bet a year in advance, and you declare bankrupcy between the bet and the game... wonder what would happen |
![]() | I know one thing, you don't go from pro-rape to anti-rape! |
Toys R Us this week
![]() | is doing a Buy 2, get 1 GameCube game deal |
![]() | I got Rebel Strike, Kirby's Air Ride and Soul Caliber II |
![]() | Rebel Strike is so damn good, it doesn't even make sense. Kirby is almost like a sequel to Smash Bros. and Soul Calibur II is one of the greatest drinkin/hollerin games out there |
After further analysis
![]() | Disgaea is like a combination of XCOM/Puzzle Fighter/Final Fantasy 1 |
![]() | Anytime "colored bonus squares" are involved, you're not dealing with a strategy RPG |
![]() | well, this game is right up my alley |
![]() | I'm still enjoying Lionheart, the perfect combination of Morrowind and Diablo |
![]() | basically, one plans an attack, then watches it unfold |
![]() | its like puzzlefighter in that respect |
![]() | its like xcom in the way one plans the attack |
![]() | its like final fantasy in the way one builds a team |
![]() | with such simple archetypes? |
![]() | a purely-combat version of XCOM is not nearly as good... the key part about XCOM was that the results of your combat resulted in increased goods, and abilities, and the research and money, etc. that you then used in later combat... the perfect mix of strategic and tactical gameplay |
![]() | And its great creepy mood |
![]() | I liked the combat! |
![]() | Its fantastic, but its not the whole story |
![]() | Saying a game has XCOM-like combat doesn't mean it has XCOM-quality |
![]() | well, the way one must carefully plan the combat is more like xcom than many of the other strategy games |
Disgaea is a quite good strategy RPG
![]() | its very open ended |
![]() | good for perfectionists |
![]() | twitch |
![]() | it has a weird, somewhat bad story |
![]() | once I got past that, I started having fun |
![]() | |
![]() | okay, maybe the story isn't bad, but the story presentation is bad |
![]() | not quite bad. more weird. I can't explain it. |
What penalty would be called if ...
![]() | On a kick-off, they just picked up the ball with their hands and ran the ball |
![]() | who is they? |
![]() | First, the kicking team, and second, a player |
![]() | probably delay of game, and/or unsportsmanlike conduct |
![]() | Huh. |
![]() | If the kicking then fumbled the ball and the other team recovered, could they turn down the penalty and take posession? |
![]() | no |
![]() | its similar to when the ball blows off the tee |
![]() | when it blows off a third time, you get a penalty |
![]() | I think the same penalty would apply |
![]() | Gotcha: anything less than kicking the ball doesn't result in "a play" its simply fucking around |
![]() | Penalty. On the kicking team, number #35. Fucking around. 10 yard penalty, re-kick the ball. |
Now why isn't this a sport...
![]() | Imagine waterskiing, but underwater. You get dragged by the boat through water while you stay in an hydrodynamic position |
![]() | Minor issues with boats having motors on the bottom in the back, where you'd want to attach your line... |
![]() | Perhaps you'd want a special suit, or a shell to break the water, but this seems like it could be a lot of fun |
![]() | I'd imagine holding a transparent parabaloid... |
![]() | Might want some minor wings to provide downforce |
![]() | You could speed-scuba or speed-snorkel |
![]() | jet boats have no prop |
![]() | Hence its minor issue status |
![]() | you ever get dragged by a boat? |
![]() | Once when I was a kid, I think |
![]() | Not a lot of water in the Idaho deserts |
![]() | its not so fun. when I was learning to waterski, I didn't let go of the baton once |
![]() | The transparent parabaloid might be key |
![]() | Could mount it to a football helmet facemask or something |
![]() | this sport sounds like the idiotic mayhem that TNN/Spike is looking for |
![]() | you should use your cabletv hookups to get a show |
![]() | My gigantic wang is not a "cabletv hookup" |
![]() | at least in this country |
![]() | Mmmm paraguay-ey |
I think items where we try to predict game winners is fun for a while, but don't have the same ZAZZ as other items
![]() | ZAZZ! |
![]() | I mean, the items are less timeless |
![]() | ZAZZ! |
![]() | on that note, i predict Oakland winning 28-21 |
![]() | Nonsense. |
![]() | KC, 27-20 |
![]() | I'll also take the Over on the 47.5 O/U (yes I realize this is contrary to my points pick) |
![]() | so either way... |
![]() | YOU LOSE! |
![]() | |
![]() | if I win, you half win |
![]() | Psh. There is no "half win" only "dominate Tony" |
![]() | since when are you some dirty dominatrix? |
![]() | Thats the stakes of this bet! |
![]() | <--- lacks a dominatrix icon |
Study finds taller people earn on average $789 per inch more than shorter people
![]() | And no, they didn't include basketball players :P |
![]() | "If you take this over the course of a 30-year career and compound it, we're talking about literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of earnings advantage that a tall person enjoys," Judge said. |
![]() | The relationship between height and earnings was particularly strong in sales and management but was also present in less social occupations such as engineering, accounting and computer programming, the study found. |
![]() | The average height of Americans is 5 feet 9 inches for men and nearly 5 feet 4 inches for women. |
![]() | I didn't realize just how short women are! |
![]() | indeed! |
![]() | Or maybe there's like a 1-inch woman who's bringing down the average |
![]() | wonder if they have a study for penis size too |
I recommend Windy City Heat
![]() | here is an article about it |
![]() | they're showing it on comedy central |
![]() | its like Spinal Tap, but real life |
![]() | its seriously unbelievable |
![]() | the lead in it must be the dumbest human alive |
Kids comment on classic video games
![]() | Stealing this item from DWL because they did such a horrible job of commenting on it |
![]() | "Tim" makes some unbelievable comments in this |
![]() | On Pong: Tim: My line is so beating the heck out of your stupid line. Fear my pink line. You have no chance. I am the undisputed lord of virtual tennis. [Misses ball] Whoops. |
![]() | On Donkey Kong: Tim: Mario dies way too easy. Oh, grab the umbrella. Those are cool. Unfashionable, gay, but cool. Oh, 300 points. That's it? All you get is points? That's lame. Can't you do something with the umbrella? |
![]() | On Asteroids: Tim: This is nothing compared to Grand Theft Auto III, because you can't steal a taxi cab, pick up somebody, then drive into the ocean with him. |
![]() | this goes back to my whole "games are too easy now" |
![]() | they want shortcuts! |
![]() | machineguns in space invaders! special blocks in tetris! |
![]() | these kids are too inept to play Donkey Kong! |
So I heard that the marlins offered that one cubs dude tix to the World Series
![]() | If I were the marlins, I would get him front row tickets... |
![]() | In NEW YORK! |
![]() | Good call! |
![]() | I think the people that will lose the most in this whole thing is FOX |
![]() | I concur, this is the least compelling combination of teams out of the LCS teams |
![]() | people were actually watching because the Cubs and boSox are cool historic teams |
![]() | I would have liked to see Marlins V. Sox |
![]() | Yankees are so irritating |
The Architect scene in Matrix Reloaded is quite something with the French audio
this, which I found on fark, is a very interesting and well thought out article
![]() | IÕll probably still be playing video games as they wheel nursing home. In fact, looking at todayÕs games already makes me feel like a cantankerous old man. TheyÕre three times as easy, they let you save your progress whenever you want, and if you canÕt afford one of the game's 18 strategy guides you can look up hints online. And still people complain about games being too hard. |
![]() | video games are so easy now, they're not as much fun! |
![]() | beating a game used to be a challenge. something to brag about |
![]() | battletoads was such an amazingly difficult game |
