Comment Why the obsession with instaboots? (Score 1) 437

Seriously. Hit the power switch and go occupy yourself for a minute or so. Drink some coffee. Read some Baudelaire. Have some private time on the john making twosies. Whatever.

I know that it's a nice goal to aim for, but having Windows up and running in 2.3 seconds just isn't a reason to get all frothy and rabid for me. YMMV.

This has happened to pretty much every iteration of Wolfenstein *ever*. Almost every WWII game made has run afoul of various German laws in some form or another. Between their banhammer laws on anything remotely resembling Nazi iconography and the way they ratchet up the prohibition of pixelated violence every time they have an American-style school shooting, it's really a wonder that you can buy a single game over there that's any more graphic than cartoon bears throwing marshmallows at each other and then apologizing afterwards.

Really, anyone could [i]claim[/i] to be affiliated with ELF and technically be correct.

They're like Al-Quaeda that way, except we don't seem to have a lot of interest in blowing them up. Therefore, I propose we have a Predator take out PETA's headquarters instead since they like to pay for ELF members' legal defense. It's like how we blow stuff up in the Mideast because it's "providing support for terrorists."

Insert obligatory cheap shot at the Bush administration here.

Oh. My. God.

I know that "LOL" and "new keyboard" are pretty much the most worn out cliches on the intarwebs, but when I saw the "Autism Rocks!" logo I came within an inch of spewing coffee across my computer and LOLed so loudly that my cat flew out of the room like someone had tased him. What's next, "I have EXTREME cancer!" t-shirts?
