    That squirrel reminds me of the one from Ice Age.

    Study: Games are depressing...or are they?

    The article isn't exactly entertaining or interesting, but "the average gamer is 35 years old" caught my eye. I was expecting something lower.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    That line certainly caught my surprise, as well, but the article itself wasn't that informative of what I don't already know.

    That's nothing new really, I've known that for at least 2 years.

    Three years, to be exact.

    No. I know some of that stuff, but not from army trainning.

    Might not, we have some good points though.

    No shit, Sherlock. Mandatory service is a huge pile of steaming hot shit. and people like me are the better result of it. You do not want to speak to the others.

    and on a general matter. what's with the poop slinging?

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Your CO would probably disagree.

    Gotta do something with all the poop.

    Cell phone activates oven

    http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/147548

    Mine's a good old analogue oven. My powerbox is in our garage (main point of entry/exit) in our house, and we have been trained to turn off the stove/oven power there when we leave.

    There's this video that's been in the news a lot lately. It's a video from December 1984, that shows a karate student beating down a man in a dojo and possibly killing him while the instructor watches.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zQi0aT_o0g

    Warning: The video is pretty brutal.

    why do they refer to him as a mentally challenged man?

    dang it.. that video pisses me off. i thought karate was about discipline. the dude from the dojo clearly just got frustrated at how he couldn't land a hit and the other dude was staying calm, and keeping up a superior attitude.

    but man thats messed up when he starts kicking his face in..

    and the showing of the trail of blood just infuriates me. thats just impossibly messed up.

    I saw that video earlier last week when the master of the dojo (the fat fuck) posted it on his own youtube for some reason.

    The guy is assumed to be Schizophrenic. Blythe had written a lot about him on the info section of the video and described how he was a regular nuisance around town. He invited him to his dojo so they guy could teach him his moves, but really had planned to beat him down regardless.

    What's most infuriating is how that lumpy "black belt" is even considered a black belt at all. He basically just goes for groin kicks while the Schizo dances around him, then reverts to street brawling and cheap shots once the other guy gives up. Fucking pitiful.

    I know the guy probably died of head trauma but I'd like to think he's sparring with Jesus right now .

    Edit: The irony of it all is tragic. Martial arts is intended for self-defense, but the guy's kind-hearted pacifism prevents him from using it when it's most necessary.

    Even if nobody else gets charged, that fat guy (I don't care which one) should suffer the heavy penalties for his actions.

    There was an incident here a few years ago, where a bunch of highschool youths were having a party. When it was over, a group of people attacked some guy until he was on the ground, then kicked his head afterwards. He died. It had quite an impact because the assaulters were from my school and year level.

    That was pretty harsh, though I don't see how the guy was "seriously mentally challenged". The black belt is completely not worthy of his belt, that was just weak ass street brawling without any control or discipline.
    Definitly did not see any karate, just a shameful beatdown.

    That sucked. I wonder how many martial art practitioners actually understand the meaning and intent of whatever they have been learning for years. The brutality is not justified at all, especially hitting an already floored opponent. I hope the people in the dojo get what they deserve.

    The video is from a while back, and as far as I've heard, no one was punished for the crime.

    The thing with martial arts is, as evidenced by MMA, people don't all learn martial arts for the purported self-defense, self-control, and oneness with the universe. It's like a gun I suppose. In the wrong hands, it's deadly.
