[quote who="Avodah" comment="31"] For this opinion, I am banished. so much for free speech on the right. [/quote] It's not really a free speech issue. You're using his website, for which he pays from his own pocket, for all of us to use, to take a dump on what he loves doing, and what made it possible in the first place for him to have this site. It feels a lot to me like the host of an free party kicking out a rude guest from his house.

Link I just stumbled across this link, and I figured it was timely. Good luck, and I've heard that licorice root chew sticks can help a lot as well as candy/gum.

Sometimes things are just out of your hands. <img s

Reply to Download Size a barrier for electronic distribution? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Depending on what it is, I'd download 2 GB and more, if I feel it's worth it. I very frequently download demos of games of up to 1 GB, just because I can, and I end up never installing them.

I got to spend quite a lot of time in my room for being a knucklehead. And I got my fair share of spankings, too. And I ended up turning OK. You can ask the wardens. No... Seriously. He probably knows that he deserves the spanking he just got. It might just take a while for him to find out it's not worth arguing with you, and you always win because... well... you're the dad. Tak
