“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

Le Doh.

Hearing that 3D Realms had closed and production has officially halted makes me somehow sad.

“And this particular game was lacking a certain feature I like to call The Ability To Fucking Save (or TATFS). This meant that playing Super Mario Bros. 2 was an all-or-nothing activity. Yeah, you could pause it, but then when you left your house the thing might catch fire and kill people. No, you had to play that damn thing in one hideous sitting.”

“Somehow, cymothoa exigua is able to attach itself to the fish’s tongue muscles, allowing the snapper to use it just like a normal tongue, the parasite flapping around as a permanent fixture in the fish’s mouth for the rest of its life. Why does it do this? We don’t know, but we’re going to go with the commonly held opinion that the cymothoa exigua simply thinks it’s funny.”
