I mean I kind of see why they would though. I personally can't even imagine having roommates honestly.

I don't mind roommates, as long as they're my friends. But whatever, I guess. I should've known they would fuck me over to begin with.Quote:

I've known one of my roommates for 16 years, and the other for about 26 years. The roomy I've known for 26 years is my best friend as well, and more like a brother really. Also since he owns this house he doesn't give a crap if I decorate it however I want. He likes much of the same things anyway, so it's no biggie.Quote:

Idk, if I had a roommate I would be very strict about it. No drugs, steady full time job, ect. Most of my "friends" would fail that pretty steadily(granted I'm only 18).Quote:

Man, really that's all me and my roommates did in my very first apartment. Although we would always pay our rent and bills first, before wasting it on weed and booze. So at least we were somewhat responsible I suppose. :P Where I live it's legalized though, so it's a lot more accepted.Quote:

Weed smells better and is generally better than anything else someone can do, especially disgusting tobacco , that shit actually kills and harms everyone and anything around it when its lit up.
We may not agree on emulators VS hardware, but this is something I can actually agree with you on. :wacko: Tobacco is disgusting, and I'm disgusted with the fact that the government thinks it's okay to peddle cigarettes that are guaranteed to give you health problems, but they lump weed in with heroin as a schedule 1 narcotic. :rolleyes: Glad the state I live in finally came to their senses and legalized it.Quote:

I know you are giving Roxas a hard time here but really, the point is that you shouldn't have to check. The stores shouldn't take in fucked up product. I've dealt with this a few times, it's even more annoying with hard to find games. The worst thing I've had happen though (not at Gamestop, but another store) was a time I was buying a common Dreamcast game. I'm guessing the store had at least 5 copies and the guy goes back to grab another case and gets a former rental copy. I'm like yeah I don't want this, please go get another copy and for a bit he fought it until I threatened to call the cell of the owner (local store). That guy ended up getting fired later on, I wasn't surprised.Quote:

One time I had some expensive shmups sitting in customs for 10+ days. Needless to say I was freaking out a bit. :wacko:Quote:

Dont forget back then manuals had some nice artwork in them too, that was changed pretty quick after the SNES / Playstation era.Quote:

I think the one manual from my childhood that sticks out the most in this regard, is the manual for the original Legend of Zelda for NES. I loved reading it when I was a kid, and it really did flesh out the world of Hyrule.Quote:

It's been nearly three weeks but holidays are a factor.
Science paid for by tobacco companies. Haha.Quote:
Originally Posted by Beelzebub

"TOBACCO GIVES YOU CANCER AND OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS"
There are plenty of other things around that aren't good for your health. Alcohol and nuclear power are two examples.
Pollution in many big cities around the world is more harmful than secondary smoke. Cars kill people and they don't necessarily have to be in an accident.
Not every single smoker gets cancer and/or dies a horrible death due to organ failure. I have an aunt who is in her 90's now and she has smoked all her adult life.
The only issue she has had to deal with is her eyesight deteriorating badly in the last few years...but that shit happens to old people anyway.
Isn't it said that constant use of cell phones can give you cancer.
Only if you have one embedded in your skull.Quote:
