I've just received a notification that our section at work is getting a group award. Apparently I'm getting an extra $600 in my paycheck this Friday. Yay!
Finally signed up to the forums after a long time of listening to the podcasts. Found the group mega64 on you tube. I Learned how to sell a video game. Learned I am really young for this site. (14) Made my first post on this site. (this exact one)
I am posting from the Contemporary Resort right outside of the Magic Kingdom. I can walk out of my door, look down, and see the monorail passing through the lobby. It's awesome.
Buffy Vs. Edward. Really shows how creepy he is. It's not sexy, this icky-stalking-women business. Why is it that pushy, abusive behavior is portrayed as romantic in so many books and movies? In manga too. I don't get it.
While stalker-ish behavior isn't cool, this video isn't the best to illustrate the point. Buffy's great love Angel was stalker-ish (even when he wasn't Angelus), but he was portrayed as a heroic figure. Also, Edward is no more or less creepy than Bella. I subjected myself to Twilight in both book and movie form. In both it is obvious that both Bella and Edward are obsessed with each other and engage in unhealthy mating rituals.
I actually haven't seen the movie, but when it was described to me by people, they told me that it was really patriarchal, stalker-y and bleh.
Oh, it is, but Bella is equally as disgusting as Edward. It bothers me that anyone would find either character compelling on any level. From concept to execution the book and movie are just awful.

Edit: I just realized he did the book for the stage play. I was one of the lucky (at the time) kids who went to that when I was 8.
Sorry, I felt the need to give you a hard time
This made me smile.
YES!
EDIT: Dammit, you beat me to it.
However, it is much nicer to think this car is driven by Shinji Ikari.
Step one, act like this guy.
