FyreHaar: at a fortune 500 company
Sonic Rob: Mr Vegas 1965 is your email address if you do Mel Torme covers on Fremont Street
FyreHaar: is that not hilarious?
Sonic Rob: It says (in order): I am slightly patriarchal; I lack any sense of irony when consuming popular culture; I am around 50 years old

FyreHaar: did you not have e-mail at your last job?
FyreHaar: do you think it has to be the same user name everywhere or you will break the internet?

Sonic Rob: which is pretty goddamned vaginal

Sonic Rob: fuck you, spoiler statute of limitations is up
FyreHaar: or you do now
Sonic Rob: it’s been like 8 years
FyreHaar: oh, I’m not complaining about the spoiler
FyreHaar: and yes it’s extremely vaginal
FyreHaar: as if to truly overthrow the masculine enemy she must stop using that enemies tools and tactics
FyreHaar: and embrace her essential femininity
Sonic Rob: well, then she punches him to death

Guest Chat: Getting Excited About Video Games

Sig Fem Seks: Oh man
Sig Fem Seks: I’m getting excited about video games
Sig Fem Seks: Uncharted 3 and Skyrim are so close
Sonic Rob: it is true
Sonic Rob: I just started playing Catherine, so I have high hopes for that
Sig Fem Seks: I almost started Brotherhood yesterday
Sonic Rob: =(
Sig Fem Seks: but I realized that I won’t be able to finish it by the time Uncharted comes out
Sonic Rob: yeah
Sonic Rob: see, this is why being a player of new games sucks
Sonic Rob: you are beholden to release schedules
Sig Fem Seks: I’ve come to a realization that if I start a game and I don’t finish it before I start another game, I will never finish it
Sonic Rob: so don’t start the other game
Sonic Rob: I am sure there will be copies of Uncharted to buy once you are done with Brotherhood
Sig Fem Seks: No but that’s the problem
Sig Fem Seks: I have to play Uncharted ASAP
Sonic Rob: why?
Sig Fem Seks: to avoid spoilers and because I’ve been waiting for so long
Sonic Rob: hm
Sonic Rob: you know
Sonic Rob: I don’t think I wait for games
Sonic Rob: the statement “I’ve been waiting so long for this game that I must play it ASAP” has no resonance with me
Sig Fem Seks: Brotherhood is something I look forward to starting when I have nothing else to play
Sig Fem Seks: because I know it’ll be good
Sonic Rob: wait wait
Sonic Rob: you have to play Uncharted now
Sonic Rob: because you don’t know if it’ll be good?
Sig Fem Seks: Uncharted is on a different level than Brotherhood
Sig Fem Seks: I know it will be amazing
Sig Fem Seks: I know Brotherhood will be good
Sonic Rob: ok, I think I get it
Sonic Rob: you don’t want to be tied up in a good game that keeps you from starting a transcendent game
Sig Fem Seks: It’s like Christmas presents
Sig Fem Seks: My mom got me a baseball bat, BUT HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT BIKE OVER THERE
