No need, this isn't exactly a forum on legal advice (at least I hope it's not!). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Borrrrrrring! Just kidding--different strokes (or whatever it is you do... ) for different folks! I guess I'll keep on spoiling my appetite for a while until I learn better. And for some reason you make it sound like looking at women in bikinis and lingerie is somehow way dirtier than us PU'ers watching hardcore porn... "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

That's actually the best advice that can be given when in doubt or deep embarrassment about visiting a doctor--just go! You could get extremely sick or die of something far worse than embarrassment if you don't go. I've lost count of the number of times I've read online or even heard from friends about being too shy or scared of revealing something to a doctor--women, usually their OB/GYNs; guys, their urologists. Plus, assuming your doc's not a total quack like this guy, you shouldn't be risking much with a visit. I guess the nurse or doc could accidentally slip an extra finger in whilst checking your prostate, but I'm sure butterfingers are privileged! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

So I'm not innocent? Ouch... But that's exactly the attitude I was talking about (if I can even remember where I was going with my original post)--I believe there is a bigger problem when we automatically presume someone guilty of a crime simply by his or her refusal to submit to what amounts to an illegal search. Sorry, but I'm a stickler for the Constitution, even that pesky 4th Amendment. I think we start down a seriously wrong path if we passively go along with the idea that we constantly have to prove our innocence in a "free" society, especially if it's well outside the rules and boundaries of a courtroom. I don't like to be threatened with an arrest or fine just for watching a movie I paid to see or have to go through a breathalyzer to start my own car. Yes, people will drink and drive, and it sucks, but the car isn't the problem, no more than the porn is to blame for its piracy (though I guess horny computer hackers can cause the biggest headaches, so maybe the porn is partly to blame). But bottom line, you go after those who have done nothing wrong and there will be a backlash and ultimate failure. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

The way you describe your doctor, I would be going in way too frequently for checkups! I mean, it's not like your prostate can be too healthy, can it? The film Road Trip addressed this sort of doctor-patient relationship back in 2000 (okay technically the woman is a nurse, but whatever). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Much of California has pretty mild weather, so if all else fails after "the big one" strikes the state you probably won't freeze to death or be sitting under water. It's also helpful to remember that preparing for future earthquakes is theoretically more doable than blizzards, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. You can build things to be more safer for when a quake occurs, but you still can't change the temperature (blizzards, ice storms) or magically make water and wind disappear (hurricanes, tornadoes). Also important to remember, when earthquakes become really deadly it's usually because they strike in relatively poor parts of the world with dense populations and little disaster preparedness. Granted, Hurricane Katrina made New Orleans look like a terrifying disaster film set (which I guess would explain the federal government's slow response) but generally speaking the U.S. and most modern countries have the resources to prepare for and respond to these events.

Maybe...but a lot of people view things like photo-radar as excessive government intrusion. Regardless of "the innocent should have nothing to worry about" argument, whether in speeding or downloading, some people simply don't like be photographed, registered, tracked, whatever for everything they do. Another good example of this is an article I read recently about drunk driving in the U.S., and in the comments section someone mentioned that manufacturers should simply install breathalyzers in every car to prevent people from starting their vehicles when drunk. The commenter didn't seem to care about the innocent, just as in the case with wanting to solve problems with more cameras and tracking. I sure as hell don't want my ISP handing over whatever information they have on me to a government or some third party just because some producer or company can no longer turn a profit. I say it's up to the creators to increase the barriers to illegal copying rather than just go the idiotically disastrous route the music industry took a few years back to fight .mp3 downloading and sharing. Bottom line, don't piss off your customer base with legal shenanigans or more bad product--instead they should innovative and evolve. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Very true. I believe you and/or other members have mentioned how physical media is really on the decline with everything and everyone pushing streaming and downloadable content over hard copies. This is extremely convenient and portable but I have yet to have a DVD or magazine ruined by an electrical storm, virus, or dead hard drive. Who knows, maybe hard drive companies will even try to phase out the extra physical hard drives purchased for home and consumer use as so-called clouds become more popular. (Over badandy400's cold, dead hands of course. ) I have yet to use a cloud storage service myself, but I prefer to keep a few things private (and I'm not just talking about the porn, I swear!). I mean what's next, Google having the legal authority to preside over weddings and births? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I would think people would be too poor for DVDs, not a computer and an Internet connection. I know I certainly couldn't keep up much of a DVD habit, especially at $40 per title. I have always felt way too poor for Playboy though, and would be just as happy to see them go under as a loud mouthed moralist would be (our reasons why would vary quite a bit of course).
I agree with these somewhat. Guys can still hide a lot of their digital "treasures" from their partners without much effort. Also, a DVD has to be physically hidden--a real pain in the ass when you can't fold up your closet and take it with you like a laptop. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'm not so sure if they want to be famous, at least not anymore than previous generations, though the Internet has made instant fame and shame much more possible. I think it's the ubiquity of cameras that have made younger and younger generations simply used to the idea of a camera always being present or always recording them. I read an article recently on Alternet where the writer blamed this complacency in youth to being on camera to the increase in governments and businesses recording our every move, and then to his larger point about the of a lack of any youth political movement. Interesting article though, but a little crazy and a little depressing (at least if you're young). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Wow, that's pretty crazy, if not totally unique... Not to toot my own country's crazy hobbyists horn, but try a 17 year old kid fucking around with radioactive materials in an attempt to build a homemade reactor, aka "The Radioactive Boy Scout." (To be fair, the Boy Scouts do have a nuclear science merit badge, though it doesn't list irradiating your mom's house as one of the requirements.) There's an online version of a Harper's Magazine article on him here as well. And as an added bonus, he was arrested a few years ago (at 31) for stealing smoke detectors, apparently trying to collect the americium in them. Who cares if teens are sexting, sleeping with their teachers, or just having straight up orgies with friends when they're at least not trying to assemble a nuclear reactor in the backyard?!

Reminds me of the guy who threw his shoes at Bush back in 2008--and he got nine months without even hitting W! I guess the fear is that if someone can sneak in a prop to use in a humiliating prank/"assault" on a VIP, can they also sneak in a real weapon? Considering the shoe thrower was a journalist and this was during a news conference, maybe Naked News could better handle these things in the future. And as for Murdoch, I bet his incident made rich old guys everywhere quite happy that their much younger, more vigilant partners could be more than just eye candy. Call me a wimp, but a woman who would be willing to go to bat, or at least to pie, for me is pretty sexy. I guess it's part of a survivalist instinct passed down through evolution.

In other words, attacking prostitution is only attacking the symptom, not the cause of why women turn to/are forced into prostitution.

It's because of the placement of a comma, for one thing, plus the various laws and Supreme Court decisions over the centuries have made it open to a lot of debate--just like the rest of the Constitution.

I don't think it's really a love for criminals, but more a case of a vengeful, violent society, that glorifies maximum punishment and reaction over more rational and peaceful solutions to problems. Those people you named were either killed or imprisoned, and I bet the same would be true of most other people you could name. For a recent example of this bizarre worldview, I would point to the Casey Anthony media orgy surrounding her case and trial. The media octopus hardly glorified her (though technically she wasn't much of a criminal, as she was acquitted of the most serious charges), and instead played up the supposed opinion--one that we apparently all shared--of bloodthirsty outrage at the total failure of the jury system. Talk about reactionary. And now we have the various "expert" talking heads in America telling us how Norway's ultra lenient prison system is inadequate to deal with the suspect in the recent terror attacks there. Again, I point to our almost instinctive vengeance we expect in such circumstances for such a crazy outlook on life. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

If you're not from America, and not from Canada, where are you from?! (Judging by your avatar, I guess you could be a wolf/dog, or possibly a mooninite.) I can give you rough and dirty version that's in no way scholarly or legally sound, but I hope it might help steer you in the right direction--or failing that, at least cause other members to correct me. (Wikipedia also has a fairly lengthy entry on the 2nd Amendment, as well as one on the militia in the U.S., if you're interested.) Militias were present in the American colonies as a way to have a volunteer force that could be called up to keep order and peace, and then later during the drafting of the Constitution to try and avoid a large standing army during peacetime (which sounds crazy today considering the size of the military budget). The militias really didn't do the bulk of fighting during the American Revolution as they weren't as well organized or armed as the Continental Army, though they did play a part. After the Revolution they weren't particularly effective for putting down rebellions either and eventually a more regular force was formed. Today "militia" in a legal sense includes the National Guard, though this has been used numerous times as pretty much a regular federal military force overseas throughout the 20th century, and, more controversially, a lot after 9/11. This was one of the criticisms of the response to Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, because much of affected states' National Guard equipment and personnel were in Iraq, thus some argued our regular military was overextended and we didn't have an adequate national defense at home. And if you ask Americans what is meant by "militia," many would probably think of the numerous private groups of pseudo-military gun lovers who go play war during the weekends, though these aren't what the 2nd Amd. refers to. These groups are more like anti-government paintball groups, but with older members and real guns! I guess at one time there was serious debate over whether the 2nd Amendment even applied to individuals as opposed to militias, but today the debate is almost totally about individual rights, not militias.

And the cynic in me says that for a lot of men, though certainly not all, when you get married all you are really doing is buying sex, or at least a long term pass to it. (To be fair, married men have told me that this purchase can frequently turn out to be a lemon. ) What pisses me off is the typical anti-porn stance this researcher takes in her definition of "buying sex," and so because I have "used pornography more than one time in the last month" I am therefore considered a sex buyer. This means that, according to the study, I am a criminal, would rape a woman if I knew I could get away with it, have an increased likelihood of perpetrating violence against women, among a number of other lovely predictions. When I watch a violent movie, I'm not buying murder, so why am I buying sex when I watch a dirty movie? Really tragic because they're using their hatred of prostitution--even if it's legal and controlled--to quash things like strip clubs, porn, and apparently much of the Internet in the process. The study's author doesn't have what I would call a realistic solution either, and the article claims she's an abolitionist (because, you know, all sex is slavery), and favors total eradication. Towards the end a few sentences hint at the problem of this zero tolerance view: "Despite the struggle to control it, human trafficking is often described as the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world, and as second only to drug trafficking in its profitability." Maybe if these anti-prostitution zealots take a serious look at the abysmal and costly failure that is the drug war they will see the price of total criminalization: the demand for a dangerous and illegal market to take control. They should instead study Nevada's handling of prostitution, and the relative control and safety it brings sex workers as compared to the fascist moral absolutism practiced nearly everywhere else in the U.S. Or they’ll just keep railing against anything and everything outside of the puritanical norms of the totalitarian state they seek to impose on us.

I agree that it's people who kill people, not guns, but a gun culture certainly doesn't help. In my view, if you think more locks on your doors, more guns in your home--or on your hip out in public if you're really crazy--and a constant suspicion of everything and everyone, then you'll never truly be "safe." If you see the entire world as a dangerous place and you're just waiting for the moment to blow its fucking head off then more guns will always be the answer. I just wish more Americans would be happy with the notion that we don't need to live like it's the Wild West. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Couldn't agree more myself--and one of the reasons I don't trust anyone who claims to be abstinent or celibate (at least by choice). I'm much more worried about someone who's actively avoiding sex or anything sexual than I am about some supposed pervert or "sex addict" (no such thing ). And an interesting aside to this article, it mentioned viewers of "violent or fetishist porn," saying: "But when it came to violent or fetishist porn, the groups diverged. Consumers of these types of pornography appeared to masturbate more frequently, have more sexual partners over the course of their life, and experience slightly less relationship intimacy than their nonviolent porn-viewing counterparts." More partners? Woo-hoo! Maybe I should start reviewing old Max Hardcore videos! But I bet all those attributes would be true even without the porn, and those people will just naturally seek out the more violent or fetishist stuff--whatever the hell counts as "fetishist"--not that the porn really changes or influences every viewer's behavior.

Great article, always nice to see a little science on our side, besides the usual lessons on the intricacies of the human anatomy. And one of my favorites quotes in the article (end of the third paragraph): "It's a moral issue, not a factual issue." This is probably the heart of the whole fight over porn: morals versus, well, let's be honest, reality. It's not a fact that porn is objectively a "good" or "bad" thing, though its effects can be measured (probably still a little early in the game for the long term effects of 'net porn). I'm pretty sure I've said in the forum that porn is not immoral, but that's really not anymore factual than saying porn is so immoral that it will cause Western society to crumble. Maybe it's just being an American who's jaded from a lifetime of witnessing nitwit leaders who talk about "our" morals as if they're one-size-fits-all, or even all that moral. For example, why is capital punishment moral but Hustler isn't? It'd seem to me that taking a life is a lot less moral than taking photos of naked ladies, but what do I know. One more reason I'd like to see science make a respectable comeback in my country. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Yeah, I just heard about this--sometimes you miss big news, even when it's local... What's odd is that this happened in Hollywood, and the LAPD is usually getting in trouble busting heads in other neighborhoods. A few years ago there was controversy when the police forcefully broke up a protest in MacArthur Park by marching in line across the park in riot gear, shooting tear gas and beating people with batons. But I'm betting a movie premiere about a rave and the kind of crowd it would attract was on their radar pretty early on, though a riot was obviously not the end goal. Not to generalize, or side with the police (who will always gain the upper hand in these situations), but certain crowds and events can turn violent very quickly if they don't get "their way"--sporting events, rock concerts, and even a bunch of tripping ravers apparently.

Apparently you aren't the only one who hates the iPad's autocorrect feature--here's a way to turn it off from a site called The iPad Guide. You think they would make it a little more intuitive like a cell phone, where it "learns" what you type most frequently, rather than trying to spell the "correct" word or phrase. This does get a little awkward if you are actually trying to spell pot or something that starts with "po" but isn't porn. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

So true. And I still laugh whenever I see a software program or how-to guide involving a program say "Next, open Internet Explorer..." What!? Are you crazy?! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I know I've spewed my of anti-royal venom many times on PU, but I still have a bigger problem with all the fawning over some "fairy tale" couple that we're supposed to respect and care about because we don't see anything wrong with titles, thrones, etc. Give me America with some litter over a rich, inbred family any day! ...That being said there are a lot of Western European countries with reigning monarchies and clean public highways. Sadly, big cities will always have some shithole areas, no matter how clean the rest of the country is. The one exception is probably Singapore, where if you have the balls to litter openly in public you can get arrested and have the shit beaten out of you with a cane (it's not exactly the freest country on earth). Again, I'll take some litter over a caning. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

It may be idiot-proof, but is it pervert proof? (Which I guess would depend largely on the ruggedness and ease of cleaning of the screen... ) Apple emperor Steve Jobs may openly hate porn--particularly as it could wrap its sweaty palms around the iPad--but I would think that the company's engineers at least assumed a number of perverts would buy iPads too. And, like with other tech devices, that after a couple of minutes of awe over owning a new iPad, most users would be wondering "Okay, now how can I use it to look at pussy?" There's at least one mainstream site that I know of dedicated to keeping the 'Pad from being too prudish, and hopefully pissing off Jobs in the process--Pink Visual Pad. (Yeah, everything sounds like a tampon/pantyliner joke with this device.) No PU reviews yet, but it got an 84 from TBP, and a one day trial is only $1, so not a huge risk (though watch out for its cross-sales). Congrats on the marriage, hope it's going well...and I'm sure she knows what you really want to do with your iPad. And to Jobs and any other Apple employees dreaming of a porn-free utopia--porn looks pretty damn good on your laptops and desktops. Thanks! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

And I've heard straight guys complain loudly about porn that includes guys with uncircumcised dicks--because it "looks weird"--or whenever the guy's wearing a condom. Or the even larger number of straight guys who don't want to see fat and hairy actors in their boy-girl hardcore. Hey, if you're only attracted to the gals in the video, why would the guy, much less his foreskin, matter? I guess you could even take a bunch of straight guys, have them watch some gay porn, and they still respond "Well, the girls-free sex does nothing for me, but man are these dudes in great shape!" Or is it something akin to the stereotype that only gay men know how to properly dress a straight woman? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

According to the Marvel Comics wiki he was injected with something called "Super Soldier Serum," which I can only imagine to be a comic universe euphemism for 'roids. And if they really are steroids then the side effect of shrunken testicles at least helps him to fit into his skintight costume. He seems to be in the category of superheroes who were created in lab experiment that would normally be quite painful and probably deadly in the real world. Sort of like how a lot superheroes are born from massive amounts of radiation, but instead of getting cancer they gain super powers. Edit: Just found this lists of comic book characters with radiation origins--it lists 271 characters! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Not necessarily. If viewers, or at least paying customers, are turned off by condoms then they will simply send their hard-earned dollars to the latex-free market instead. I know that I don't exactly like seeing a rubber in the stuff that I watch. I like the porn-as-fantasy approach, and condoms don't do much for this fantasy. But since so much of porn is now turning to more reality-based genres, condoms might fit in a little better, though viewers could still grab their pitchforks over them being mandatory. Also, if people don't wear them in their real sex lives, why would they want to see them in their porn? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Woohoo! I'm not sure what you mean by young but I never knew I was having so much sex with so many people, and condom-free to boot! But seriously I think you do have a point, and it's probably more to do with inexperience, at least in terms of safety, coupled with a culture of ignorance that helps to spread STDs among younger people (though not me). Speaking for Americans, a lot of people complain that we're too prude, while others complain that we're oversexed. In a way I'd say they are both right, and I think it's a result of an overall unhealthy view of sex and sexuality in general. Would we still mandate abstinence-only education in so many places if we weren't? Not too mention virginity pledges, purity balls, our obsession with sexual orientation, while simultaneously maintaining a massive porn industry ()? What I'm saying is that you can't blame it totally on the young when they haven't been given the proper tools in the first place. And what was your attitude when you were younger? I think we're all pretty dumb and feel way too invulnerable when we're young, though this is even more reason to have serious and comprehensive sex education, super-Gonorrhea or not.

No else seems to have brought this up, but my email address with PU is my go-to porn address, aka my spam/cautionary/questionable address. In other words, I don't check it very often as it's sort of an email dumpster for me--no offense to any PU emails that make it there of course! Anyway I really don't check that address very often, and don't like to mix my porn and non-porn email accounts (makes it much easier to check mail at work ), so I don't plan on changing it to the address that I do check throughout the day. Just the main issue I thought of as soon as I started reading the thread. But nonetheless it sounds like a good idea for us dedicated PU'ers. Monthly, with HTML (simple and straightforward, please), with new discounts and coupons, and not just strictly limited to sites, would all be good for this type of newsletter. Genuine discounts and promotions--no cross-sells, bait-and-switches, etc.--and useful news about the site and paysites in general (if something happens with a card biller, for example). And would it be possible to post them archived somewhere on PU after you sign in, so they're not just open to anyone? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

But it's not all about privacy, but more about being able to share something with as many people as possible, and in a way that the latest tell-all memoir cannot. One, a blog is more accessible than a book, especially if it addresses a controversial person and/or topic, such as a former drug addicted porn star. Sure, porn stars aplenty having been publishing autobiographies in the last few decades, that doesn't mean it will be in print for all that long, or your local library will agree to carry it. (Many libraries are strongly in favor of the 1st Amendment, but I have never seen much in the way of porn star authors at my local libraries.) Two, blogs are much more open and free-form. Whether for better of for worse, they are largely the product of their authors, not a publisher or editor, and thus are free from a lot of the typical censorship, whether for moral or political reasons, though something taken to the extremes of a Wikileaks-like openness would likely get taken over by the government. This is good for something like Ms. Flame/Ketcham is doing where you can track her progress and read about her "new" life, and more easily select what you want to read, instead having to deal with a whole book. Ultimately Flame's blog may be more about telling her story and trying to warn young people about drug addiction and those just curious about the porn industry (who, me? ) than just a bunch of gossipy digital bullshit. I'm not sure she's trying to push anyone away from porn or sex though, as she claims sex addiction, not sexual abuse or coercion, and isn't moralizing like other "formers" out there. That, and being the indefensible pervert that I am, I still want to fuck her, even with her post-porn look. Sorry. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Sorry but I disagree. Porn is fantasy, and if the audience was so out of it that they took the whole "Gee mister!" act he put his actresses up to then that's their problem! I had doubts about their sincerity, and how much they really knew going in, but I never questioned their age, no matter how many pigtails, schoolgirl uniforms, and clown preteen makeup they were dolled up in. Personally my problem was Max always seemed to double down--and gleefully at that--when the girls were all but saying "No more, please!" I'm no angel myself, but I think if my partner was making those kind of faces I wouldn't continue at the same pace, or at all. Max however never once let up, and I didn't find that particularly entertaining. But when the girl is really into it in such rough scenes, so much so that she starts to wear the guy out, making him stop, now that's fucking hot!
Maybe nothing weirder than his professional life. When life gets that crazy down at the office--or in his case, his fully tiled living room--you probably need a much slower pace at home. (Not to mention all the money he'd be spending on clear plastic funnels. ) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Tanner Mayes--that's who it was! Maybe Powers was just trying to cover his ass, and he was worried Tanner would go on a Twitter tantrum and bitch and accuse him of something he didn't actually do. What was she--20? 21? Not exactly the height of emotional maturity for most people, especially a girl who rides boners for a living. Hardly the lowest thing if you ask me, maybe not even that abusive. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Read a little bit about her on the blog--both the old and new her--kinda interesting, kinda depressing (sorry, I just can't support someone going on "The View"), but pretty insightful overall, and at least she's not been brainwashed into finger-pointing religious proselytizing. I'm still skeptical about the whole "sex addiction" label, though she clearly states the porn industry is not to blame for it, but I think addiction is a very serious word to attach to things. At least she's drug free, though I prefer women who are sober but still horny. Here's a short YouTube video about her blog from "Last Call with Carson Daly" if anyone's curious.

I want to add that there are some other fairly notorious names in porn, but mostly from drug, murder, suicide, jail sentence-type events that can be pretty depressing to bring up. Nothing creepier to watch a young actress do a nasty but hot performance, and then look her up afterwards to find out that, oh boy, she was found dead in a motel about a year ago, causes unknown!

I'm not sure if Max Hardcore is that well known outside of porn, and even then only by those familiar with the "dark side" that some consider hardcore content. And even if you just like watching the more "mainstream" hardcore content from the bigger U.S. porn studios you might not have heard of Max. I have a terrible time with names and there are a ton of people I recognize (by their face! ) but could never match a name to, and Max might have been that way for me for a few years until I finally put the name to the notorious content. I've heard of Jim Powers, and don't think of him as particularly abusive (though didn't he get yelled at a couple years ago by the what's-her-name young actress, and the video was uploaded to YouTube?). And sometimes I can't even match Powers' face to his name, though I recall his voice pretty well (creepy!). But in the overall pornosphere, I can think of a couple of notorious names, though they're not particularly current, and they are: - Larry Flynt: Sort of old news by now, but he did introduce the notorious un-airbrushed, uncensored labia to skin mags, and his Hustler mag (and its even dirtier sister publications) along with his videos are still reasonably hardcore. Historically he changed porn, for better (my vote) or for worse, and I'd say he's pretty controversial outside of porn. Or at least he used to be. - Traci Lords: What porn producer not vying for a jail sentence doesn't know her name? If performing underage, getting away with it for several years, before finally getting caught and making a sweeping age-verification change to the industry isn't controversial, I don't know what is.

Hey, what are you going do--American medicine sucks! I would imagine the biggest disappointment (aside from befriending that idiot volleyball) would be coming back to find your loving partner...shacked up with another man! I remember a South Park episode with a similar situation, where a man had been frozen in a block of ice while hiking. When he's thawed he returns to find his wife had quickly remarried, and had given up on the search after only a couple of days. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

There would occasionally be a helpful warning for those with more sensitive stomachs, as well as those who would be disappointed if they watched an entire video. But most of the time it was the typical trolling and goofy comments. Makes you wonder what people expect when downloading videos from a site that's clearly labeled as adult-oriented.

Well, not to give away too much, but as I remember (from playing Fallout 3 last summer) you get to see a big mushroom cloud, and then you can't safely go near the sight for the rest of the game. I figured I at least got rid of a few monsters in the process...while pissing of a lot of potential allies when I didn't play along with the whole "Who could have set off that A bomb?" schtick. Oops.

For some reason, that quote just sounds incredibly dirty--like an actress performing the perfect delivery of the most clichéd porn dialogue. I'm expecting the guy's answer to be something like "From every lady's hottest dreams, baby" and then he proceeds to earn his tip for delivering a pizza... But seriously, I figure if a girl can stand my face--which I wouldn't even dare to text--than I figure she's not turning down the lights because Mr. Happy is making his debut. I love well-lit sex though, almost as if I'm shooting a video...which of course I'm not! There's no camera here! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
