  1. Maybe because he's a versatile actor, and there's only a few (like the guy who played the lead in Speed Racer or supporting role in Milk) nobody who is all of that AND young at the same time? Seth Rogen - No. The other guy who's really good is the guy who played Checkov in the new Star Wars or Bale's young dad in Terminator IV.

    That guy is a good actor, but I disagree about Shia, he seems like the same character with a different name every film to me.


  2. It's annoying as hell when a girl rejects you because your the same size as her and not 4 inches taller. Since when has 5'10 been the minimum size a guy must be?

    I've been having no luck with women lately so I've been trying out online dating sites. Worse luck there haha. It seems like every girl that uses these sites are over 5'5" and looking for guys in the 6 foot range. Even the rare chicks that are 5'0 are looking for guys in the 6 foot range, it's BS.

    errr

    girls like douche bags... the end.


  3. STOP!!! :barf2:

    In an interview with BBC News, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Shia LaBeouf says that it looks like a follow-up to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is moving forward.

    "Steven [spielberg] just said that he cracked the story on it before I left and I think they're gearing that up," LaBeouf said. Last summer's blockbuster was made for about $185 million and earned $786.6 million worldwide. It was the second-highest earner of 2008, behind just The Dark Knight.


  4. It looks almost too cartoony. :look: I want to play it regardless. -_-

    Eh, the original was pretty cartoony in itself. all they really did was make it into 3D. I'm not concerned with the graphics to much, as long as the gameplay stays true, and throwing foot soldiers into the screen is completely random, especially when you fight shredder. X'D


  5. Diarrhea and vomiting make you more dehydrated so it defeats the purpose of trying to survive as he tries to display it. He pours bottled water into that rhino poop to find the half digested fruit for nutrition for Pete's sake LOL. I think he's a fraud and not to be taken seriously.

    I don't want to get violently ill and die a painful death, as if dehydration alone isn't bad enough. He probably did some damage to his organs too. He is crazy if he really eats all that shit.

    It does, but if you had the choice of dying from dehydration within the next 30 minutes, or drinking elephant shit juice and surviving a few more hours before diarrhea finishes you off, what would you choose? within those hours you could find a fresh water source that could replenish you for just a bit longer, until you fountain out shit again, someone by some miracle might find you. I guess it just depends on your will to survive.

    He's former SAS so he definitely isn't a fraud. Hell he climbed Mount Everest. On the same token, he has way more skills and is a lot more physically fit than the average joe. most people couldn't do a lot of the stuff he does on the show because they physically can't.

    Whatever the case, I think its good entertainment.

    A picture of the redone Skull and Crossbones level is in the link.

    Yay! More timed exclusives! Thanks, Microsoft. The latest title to piss off half the gaming world with a staggered release is one of the new Ninja Turtles games.

    Given the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, it's a modern remake of Konami's classic 1991 side-scrolling arcade title, and will be out worldwide on July 22. Well, it'll be out on Xbox Live Arcade on July 22. As for the PlayStation Network, all Ubisoft will say is that it'll be out "later this year".


  7. It is partially fake because he sleeps in a hotel. Ever since it was discovered, the show sorta admits to it at the beginning of each episode. However, he does eat and drink all of that stuff, and does suffer from dysentery a lot of the times. He talks about getting diarrhea just about every episode i've seen. While he has a full medical staff on standby and isn't really alone out in the wild, he does bring some good tips on how to survive if you're disparate. I mean if elephant shit is all that's around, it'll by you a little more time than dehydrating to death, you just have to pay the price of parasites.


  8. I have a strong feeling that the porn industry will jump on this technology. X'D Virtual sex, here we go. X'D

    X'D

    I think this is a good way to reach out to the Wii fanbase, college crowds looking for party material, and whatnot. As far as the hardcore gamer goes, It really wont appeal to many in that group. I myself am not impressed with the thing, nor with Sony's waggle controller. I'm old school. I love my controller, and I always will want a controller to play my games.

    WASHINGTON – Congress struck the government's strongest anti-smoking blow in decades Thursday with a Senate vote to give regulators new power to limit nicotine in cigarettes, drastically curtail ads and ban candied tobacco products aimed at young people.

    Cigarette foes say the changes could cut into the 400,000 deaths every year caused by smoking and reduce the $100 billion in annual health care costs linked to tobacco.

    The legislation, one of the most dramatic anti-smoking initiatives since the U.S. surgeon general's warning 45 years ago that tobacco causes lung cancer, would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the content, marketing and advertising of cigarettes and other tobacco products.

    "This legislation represents the strongest action Congress has ever taken to reduce tobacco use, the leading preventable cause of death in the United States," declared Matthew Myers, president of Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids.

    The 79-17 Senate vote sends the measure back to the House, which in April passed a similar but not identical version. House acceptance of the Senate bill would send it directly to President Barack Obama, who supports the action. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that "from what I have seen so far, I believe it will be possible for us to accept their bill and send it right on to the president."

    Obama's signature would then add tobacco to other huge, nationally important areas that have come under greater government supervision since his presidency began. Those include banking, housing and autos. Still to come, if Congress can agree: health care.

    Supporters of FDA regulation of tobacco have struggled for more than a decade to overcome powerful resistance — from the industry and elsewhere. In 2000 the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the agency did not have the authority under current law to regulate tobacco products, and the George W. Bush administration opposed several previous efforts by Congress to write a new law.

    Thursday's legislation gives the FDA power to evaluate the contents of tobacco products and to order changes or bans on those that are a danger to public health. The agency could limit nicotine yields but not ban nicotine or cigarettes.

    Regulators could prohibit tobacco companies from using candy or other flavors in cigarettes that tend to attract young smokers, and restrict advertising in publications often read by teenagers. Rules on sales to minors would be toughened, as would warning labels. Tobacco companies would have to get FDA approval for new products, and would be barred from using terms such as "light" or "mild" that imply a smaller health risk.

    Costs of the new program would be paid for through a fee imposed on tobacco companies.

    "This is a bill that will protect children and will protect America," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a leading supporter. "Every day that we don't act, 3,500 American kids — children — will light up for the first time. That is enough to fill 70 school buses."

    The Congressional Budget Office estimated that FDA regulation could reduce underage smoking by 11 percent over the next decade. There are more than 40 million smokers in America.

    The bill, said American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown, "provides a tremendous opportunity to finally hold tobacco companies accountable and restrict efforts to addict more children and adults."

    The tobacco lobby, contended Durbin, has long been the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill, "and they managed to create an exemption in virtually every law so that no federal agency could take a look at them and regulate them."

    But the industry has also taken hits in recent years as the dangers of smoking became more apparent and states moved to limit smoking in public places. In 1998 the industry agreed to pay the states $206 billion to help cover health care costs, and this year Congress raised the federal cigarette tax by 62 cents, to $1.01 a pack, to fund a health care program for children.

    The nation's largest tobacco manufacturer, Philip Morris, USA, has come out in support of the legislation. Its parent company, Altria Group, said in a statement that on balance, "the legislation is an important step forward to achieve the goal we share with others to provide federal regulation of tobacco products."

    Its main rivals, however, have voiced opposition, arguing in part that FDA restrictions on new products will lock in Philip Morris' share of the market.

    Lawmakers portrayed the bill as a major first step in bringing down health care costs, an essential goal of the health care overhaul legislation that is the top priority of the Obama administration this year.

    "This bill may do more in the area of prevention, if adopted, than anything else we may include in the health care bill in the short term," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who managed the legislation on the Senate floor in the absence of the ailing Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who has long promoted FDA regulation.

    Opponents, led by Republican Sen. Richard Burr of the tobacco-growing state of North Carolina, argued that the FDA, which is in charge of ensuring the safety of food and drug products, was the wrong place to regulate an item that is injurious to health.

    He also contended that the bill would restrict tobacco companies, including several based in his state, from developing new products that might be less harmful to users. He unsuccessfully proposed the creation of a new agency that would both regulate tobacco products and encourage efforts to make cigarettes less harmful.

    HAMPTON, Va. – President Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is blaming "them Jews" for keeping him from speaking to the president. Wright, the former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president.

    "Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News following a Tuesday night sermon at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers' Conference.

    "They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

    Obama was a longtime member of the church but resigned from it and cut ties with Wright after videos surfaced during the presidential campaign showing Wright's sometimes provocative sermons. Wright's incendiary comment included shouting "God damn America" and accusing the government of creating AIDS.

    In the interview Tuesday, Wright also criticized Obama for not sending a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, saying Obama chose not to for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

    "Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

    The White House declined to comment to the Associated Press on Thursday on Wright's remarks. A phone message left by the AP at Wright's home wasn't immediately returned.

    what a hack job. O_O


  11. George Washington was against political parties. However as humans, we gravitate towards those who believe as we do, and bond together in support of one another. There we naturally form our own factions, and thus there will always be parties... if you split them all up, they would eventually just reform once more.


  12. LOL!!!!!! Man if it was THAT short, I'd be pissed that I spent that much money. Vs. is fun as well because you can be the Hunter, Smoker, Boomer, and sometimes the Tank. The only problem is the game servers take so long to fill up with 8 people, and everyone wants to start out as infected, and no one wants to be Zoey even though you gain no advantage from not being her over the other survivors.
