BECAUSE WE'RE ALL PEDOPHILES,RIGHT?

http://www.naturalnews.com/032815_sunscreen_chemicals.html Here's #1 #1) The FDA refuses to allow natural sunscreen ingredients to be used in sunblock / sunscreen products It's true: If you create a truly natural sunscreen product using exotic botanicals with powerful sunscreen properties, you will never be able to market it as a "sunscreen" product. That's because the FDA decides what can be used as sunscreen and what can't, regardless of what really works in the real world. And there are really only two natural ingredients the FDA has allowed to be sold as sunscreen: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Any other non-chemical sunscreen ingredients, if sold as "sunscreen," w…

A 75-year-old Georgian woman who says she has never even heard of the internet is facing a possible prison sentence for single-handedly cutting off the web to an entire country.

Best of luck to everyone who may be affected. Stay up to date with your local news, and follow their instructions. If they say get out, do not pack, do not hesitate. Just go. So far, the Tsunami may hit Hawaii, Mexico, Australia, the entire West Coast of the US and Canada and many other spots. Be safe everyone. If you are affected and can reach the forums (or any other way IM etc), give us a shout out so we know you're okay. If you need anything, please let us know. I'm currently on the phone with my family in the Bay Area. Pretty scary shit and feeling pretty helpless, which I hate. Update. While many bad things are still going on, the tsunami doesn't seem to be as bad a…

I wish I could have had my grandfather try this. He would have really enjoyed it.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City! Modders sorted through the game's code, and claims to have found a character model of Luke Skywalker along with details on a Hoth mission. The developer was rumoured to have been working on the game back in 2010, so this might be all that's left of their work.

This is really awesome. It's a slingshot controller used to play Angry Birds. http://www.soundplusdesign.com/?p=5428 Would this renew your interest in the game? I think it would for me, if only for a little while.

Congrats man! You survived another year lol. I hope your day is awesome today.

Hope your day is an amazing one! Go enjoy yourself!

Posting this since a firestorm of activity has recently lit up social media. People in the game industry, big and small have been taking sides and weighing their opinions. I happen to think it's a discussion worth having.

Hey again guys. Sorry I've been away for quite a time (over 6 months I think.) I've been through two semesters of junior college in the meantime and haven't even really been gaming much until now. I've been taking my semesters slow but after next spring I should be finished. Let's see, I also went through my first sorta girlfriend and my first actual girlfriend in that period, both lasting about a month and ending in heartbreak so I'm basically back to where I was before, just a little more disappointed and slightly more experienced emotionally. Other than online folk like you guys I still don't really have IRL friends to actually hang with, so when those relations…
