i thought i was a good liberal
but it turns out i'm a hostile liberal! i went to an arcade today and played a shooting game for the first time.. you know the kind where you point a fake gun at the screen and aim at "bad guys". well... guess who now is on the all time high scores list? fourth best score of all time to be exact. moi!

i kick ass apparently :rofl:

1. Kewl! Nothing wrong with guns for sport in a controlled environment....
Now don't you go waving a real gun at me...

This post is ripe for a Failin' type thing about you can shoot like that so you should be Secretary of Defense... but I won't go there.. oops.

Mark.

2. I LOVE those games...
Especially the Time Crisis series. My Ex and I used to have soooo much fun playing those at the Arcade. Actually, we still do, since we're BFFs.

4. Keep up the good work, Ava. I'd be glad to know if there were righties out there
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 10:52 PM by Aristus
who are frightened by the idea of liberals who know how to shoot. B-)

BTW, all you lurking freepers, I qualified 'Expert' on the M16A2 and the Beretta 9mm, and can handle with confidence the M1911, the Colt.45, the Colt 38 revolver, the .357 Magnum, the .44 Magnum, the M60, the M2 .50cal and the 120mm Rheinmettal smoothbore tank cannon.



So don't fuck with this liberal... }(

11. I used to like playing House of the Dead (or something along those lines) at my local arcade.
Shooting zombies is where it's at. They got rid of the game though, I was so sad.

45. Well a zombie is undead. Their brain has transformed, posthumously, to a self conained organ...
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 01:08 PM by primate1
That controls the body. (The result of the solanum virus.) No need for oxygen or anything. Brutal. You have to sever the head from the body or destroy the brain somehow. (Woot, zombie nerdery!)

Nothing wrong with violent video games for adults. I know you're not 18 (are you?) yet, but I do believe you're mature enough to know the difference between video games and real life. :P
