Free legal music? Can't argue that. Although it's not much different from free illegal music.

Emo kids.
Whiny, middle class, kids who think their lives suck just because they have a few dating issues. They pretend they're suicidal and quote sappy love song lyrics. It's a fashion style and a music genre, although genre has gone from just general emotions, to focusing on being a bunch of whiny little kids who can't get over their ex. They really just need to shut the hell up and realize they're being idiots and babies. What they're trying to be is someone who has real problems, and a reason to be suicidal, and is actually depressed.

What non-physical characteristics do you find attractive?
Someone with their own personality, and able to hold a good conversation. Personality comes first for me over looks anyways, I hate people that think they're all that just because they look good, but are some of the worst people you can talk to. Charisma and self-confidence are also big ones for me, but not to the point of arrogance. I must admit I find that I like someone who is slightly more aggressive and ill-tempered, not really sure why, but it just shows you that they are emotional. Passion is another thing. I don't want someone to just be borderline on something. If you don't have your own opinion, what good is it? EDIT: Athleticism helps too.

What skin color do you think Jesus was?
Calender's wrong anyways for one thing. But there really wasn't a time like that. He was born in 6 BC and died around 30 AD, I believe. Wasn't the modern calender started at year 1, instead of year 0?

Halo Discussion thread
I'm pretty sure they're considered more to be graphic novels, or at least there are some graphic novels. Come to think of it, I think there's both graphic and regular novels for Halo. Both are considered canon as far as I know.

Things to ban instead of videogames
There's no proof that video games can be the sole cause of the death. However, in some cases, it is unlikely that video games did not play a role. Take for example, Brandon Krisp. He was 'obsessed' with CoD4, to the point where when his parents took away his Xbox because of how much he was playing he ran away. 5 days later, his body was found, and he was found to have died from a fall from a tree. Video games certainly weren't the only reason he died, but they were a major factor. Video games cause a few high-attention deaths. It is sad that deaths can be related to them, but the fact is that many more deaths are caused in other ways. I'm pretty sure lightning kills more than video games, same with shark attacks or biking accidents.

The 10 Coolest Wii Controllers
You're kidding right? I see beauty right there, what do you see? I actually don't get the hate on the N64 controller. Yeah, it was stupid to have the d-pad completely isolated, but how many games even used it? It was weird shaped, but it was comfortable. Your hand isn't in a weird position, and it's light. I couldn't ask for more. It worked for the console, and I quite frankly have never found a single thing wrong with it.

102.1 97.7 107.1 Only FM radio channels I can stand. 102.1 is pretty good for alternative, but it overplays the more popular stuff a bit too often. 107.1 is almost entirely 'classic' rock, and does it pretty damn well. 97.7 is in between. You'll get stuff like the Beatles, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, etc. All of it is good for the car. Although I swear they have their ads synchronized so that you can't switch to one of the other stations during an ad. I listen to the radio only when I'm in the car, so not all too often. I almost never watch TV, except maybe sports in the morning before I head off for school.

The 10 Coolest Wii Controllers
Ignoring the horrible linked post (First of all, it's just a link to an article. Second, the article sucks. Third, the article isn't even interesting. Fourth, the article doesn't generate any discussion), I'd say that if the PS3 controller was shaped like the Xbox 360 controller, I'd love it. It's like as anything, and extremely sensitive (Which is good once you get used to it). My only complaint really is that I'm so used to the shape of an Xbox controller (Or more the position of the left thumbstick) That I really find a PS3 controller uncomfortable in that regard. N64 controller is the best of all time. No joke.

Limited edition has no effect on the ending, unless you're referring to Legendary, in which I can't say.

Xbox 360
Got my Xbox Jan. 30 of this year Pro Um, my pc skills are stinky, but my modem...I guess? If you have a modem and no router, and if the modem only has 1 open slot to plug in an Ethernet cord, then you'll need to unplug your computer from it in order to have Live on your Xbox. Since you have a Pro, you should already have a 8-10' ethernet cord. Will add more later.

Xbox 360
My good year of playing Live agrees though. Also, I usually play the games notorious for having 'high-pitched whining pre-pubescent 13- year olds', like Halo 3. Honestly, on Halo 3, I've met some of the most laid-back people ever. Besides, you must be doing something considered unfair to have people [bleep]ing at you when you win. Either that or you just play against some very competitive people. I don't know, I haven't even played SF4.

Xbox 360
There's an instruction manual that comes with you Xbox. I suggest reading it, unless you've already done that. It really is just plug and play, unless there are security settings on your connection. Also, your Xbox should have come with what I think is a 10' ethernet cord in the box, unless you have the Arcade version. So a few questions: When did you get your Xbox? What version is it (Arcade/Pro/Elite)? [Alternatively, was it the cheapest available?] Do you have a router? If you don't know what a router is, look at the back of your computer. Find the ethernet cord (Internet wire) and follow it away from the computer. Describe what the wire leads to. Or, ask someone in the house if you have a router. I don't see what's so bad about Xbox Live, you run into better people than you normally would on the Internet :|

Is man friendship considered too much gay these times?
I think its disappointing that some people see sexuality as so important. I couldn't care if someone is gay. They can be whatever they want. So going from there, I think that most of society (Or at least the one that exists where I live), is much too afraid of being seen as homosexual. If they do something they think is even mildly on the man-loving side, they'll immediately say 'No homo,' and it pisses me off very much. If you're confident that you aren't 'homo' why even bother pointing it out? Me and my friends always joke around, most of the time ending up in some very awkward situations. We don't say 'No homo', we just laugh about it. It's like being mature. If you have to tell someone you're mature, you *probably* aren't.
