So my friend just showed me this earlier today, for $30 bucks you get the Hardcover copy and the T-Shirt, I think I'm totally getting this... It's about a baseball team that uses their skils to kill demons and shit... the artwork looks fucking wicked!!!

I put on some nice deodorant, and I haven't even sweated at all today, but I can smell that underarm smell. This is a newly-washed shirt too, I believe -- wtf?! It's just going to get worse as the day goes along, and then I have to lead a workshop this afternoon. fmaps

i know some English people take their tea seriously but do any of you actually take the time between lunch and dinner to have "tea time" ? does that still exist or is high tea/tea time whatever kind of old fashioned? just wondering while i sip my ginger tea.

dunno if this is actually the case but could it be? is it merely coincidence that ever since the resurrection of chatmm, watmm is painfully slow? things seem to run fine when there's noone in chatmm, but like now, there is 11 people there and i'm finding it reaaaalllly fuuuuckkin annoyingly slow.

As many people have probably noticed there has been a WATMM Squarepusher compilation topic pinned for over a year now in EKT. There have only been about 5 submissions so more submissions are desperately needed for this to be a proper comp! The firm submission deadline is now May 31st 2012 according to project's creator Chassis. I thought that perhaps by posting this in Gen Ban the word may get out that this is still on. If you'd like more details please see the official topic here... http://forum.watmm.com/topic/63343-watmm-to-cover-squarepusher/ It'd be great to have this together around the release of Ufabulum!

Paul Krugman: Greece euro exit possible next month, Eurozone-wide meltdown incoming 1 2 3 4

Paul Krugman's latest blog: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/eurodammerung-2/ He's been saying since the crisis started that all the austarity measures have been counterproductive - and he's been right. He's been saying since the crisis started that all the "bailouts" have been doing is kicking the can down the road, not fixing anything - and he's been right. Also, I believe he just came back from the EU and 2) 3) and 4) isn't an some proclamation of doom, but just sharing his conversations with others that are familar (maybe more than him) with the politics of the situation.

so anyone who keeps up with Windows knows MS is trying to unify their software across all consumer platforms with the Metro interface, the same as on Windows Phone 7. the upcoming Xbox Live update will integrate it into your daily usage, as well as the upcoming Windows 8, which seems to be touch focused, but will run on a desktop or laptop as well as tablets (and is a clusterfuck using a keyboard & mouse from what i've read). how do Windows users on here feel about this? some think it's attractive, some think the live tiles are fugly, of course you can change the color and background to your liking. for example: [youtubehd]EUeNCzRhhDE[/youtubehd] [youtu…

how many times is acceptable to "this time it's to save his friend" that shit? which closet lesbian: michelle rodriguez or vasquez from aliens? who would win in a fight: you or alan 'dutch' schaefer? do you ever feel bad about stallone's role in 'stop or my mom will shoot'? if you had to only take four items into the jungle, what would they be? what are your feelings on the US government's constant flip-flopping with regards to the mujahideen? they were the good guys, then the bad guys, and now i dunno wtf they are, i mean wtf? best rambo-related video game?

that mad olympic tower thing... http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2012/may/11/orbit-tower-drunken-party-animal it's obvious why it's likened to bosch's tower of babel and those abandoned soviet monuments. it cost nearly £20M, 3M of which came from the public purse... i'd like to reserve judgement until i see it up close but i'm not going to... my initial reaction is it's pretty nasty looking... and all that money could be better spent upgrading the surrounding area - check out the state of the housing nearby. it's an unnecessary (please convince me otherwise!) display of wealth and engineering prowess in a time when we should not be waving our massive ere…

ezkerraldean, where is he? did he get booted in the 2011 WATMMcaust? i loved his Schietekat signature pic. so the least i can do is tell a geologist joke. "With one Geologist you get a theory... With two Geologists you get an argument... With three Geologists you get an AA meeting."

I know there are a bunch of classic adventure game fans here on WATMM so I just thought that I would let you guys know that Double Fine's Tim Schafer... fuck explaining it. Just watch this awesome video that was posted around 16 hours ago: [youtubehd]-pSteVDn78s[/youtubehd] Their goal was to reach $400.000 in 33 days but as of now (16 hours after launch) they're at $961.000! Amazing. http://www.kickstart...-fine-adventure *waits for someone to say "nuarrghh... they're not getting my money muahuru huuu huuu *insert retarded noises*"

well it looks like we are being forced to buy yet another piece of equipment to "keep up with the current format" anyone walk into best buy lately? 90% of their new stock is on blu ray i call FUCKING BULLSHIT I am happy with dvds and still buy plenty of VHS tapes for a dollar at thrifts and flea markets obviously i am ranting but it's just a symptom of "consumer culture" and it really sucks balls. It's not like my opinion matters or will make any difference up against some monolithic corp rot nation, but I can't help but cringe at the philosophy of "YOU NEED THIS NOW" being jammed down my throat.

Been playing GTA IV lately with my bro. Forgot how fun this game was. Came to the conclusion that it's probably one of the best dick around games out there. Been trying to figure out which is better, San Andreas or IV; both are great in their own ways. A lot of my friends don't like the games, what do you guys think of them?

What do you all score on the Myers-Briggs personality test? < - INTJ in case you haven't taken it before, here's the normal test and a quick test if you want to skip all the questions. Supposedly the internet is replete with inaccurate versions of this but those two links look like the actual tests I've had. discussion on the validity of this is also welcome. I think it's an accurate way to compare personality types but if someone wants to educate, go for it.
