The episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun where The Big Giant head (William Shatner) said that he looked out the window and saw something on the wing of the plane and then Dick (John Lithgow) said the same thing happened to him was brilliant.

I should make a thread where I pretend to be a licensed psychiatrist who is ignorant of how captlism works and will give out free advice on how to live your life. But then give hilarious and devastating answers.

The girlfriend and I have decided to stop drinking and focus more on our fitness. I'm happy with this.
I read this and I think, by "stop drinking" you mean you are now drunk and do not currently require more drink to encourage your girlfriend to be interested in... mutual exercise (read:nsfw).
I'd love to see a Might & Magic -styled game, set in the future.
Not a post-apocalyptic future, nor a super sci-fi future, but a bio-organic future.
An alternate future where scientists progressed further and faster in nano-technology, and had over time intergrated this technology into life itself. Out of necessity.
You see, the planet's resources were dwindling at an accelerating rate, due to overpopulation, so scientific efforts were increased globally. Scientists were eventually able to create nanobots that could replace man's need for resources.
However, once the technology began to be intergrated, scientists found that test subjects began to exhibit strange behaviour.
It was true that they never needed to feed, bathe, and could recover from injury, but the sudden change would damage the psyche of the individual.
They gradually became less human, became mad, delusional. Some were enraged at the dwindling ability to enjoy themselves, since they never had to need anything, some were driven mad by their power, and tried to control or destroy everything around them.
The scientists concluded that it was the environment, the challenges and limitations of life that made it worth living, and set the nano-technology to a new purpose.
They would fill the void that they had created.
The nano-machines were reprogrammed to be the trees, the fuel, even the food. But the technology was imperfect.
The copies were remarkably similar, yet lack the "soul" of organic.
Sentient life could tell the difference, if only subconciously.
Some scientist had speculated that over time, these copies would mutate much like the other test subjects.
But by this time, some of the subjects studied had developed to the point that they were uncontainable. They mutated into forms which reflected the state of their minds.
Essentially they became somewhat familiar to the demons of legend.
Much of the lab was destroyed, and the unfinished nanobots had leaked out into the world like a plague, infecting several areas of the world.
Ironically the scientists had solved both problems. Human population dramatically decreased within the first generation. Many had died from incompatibility and the bloodlust of others. And many resources had been restored by the nano-bot copies, but some areas became completely inhabitable, as the speculations by some scientists proved true, and corrupted batches of nanobots created mutated ecosystems full of dangerous creatures, and unusual vegetation.
Within the second generation, the world changed exponentially. Civilisations began to adapt, reform. Much of the data had been recovered and adapted by then, but no permanent solution could be created, it was too late.
Third generation children began showing signs of mutation, but not to the extreme of the initial test subjects.
Many had adapted unusual traits, similar to magic as it were.
Eventually this generation would have the capability to explore this new world fully, and that is where the game would start.
You'd have a team of 3rd gen human survivors, with unique traits and abilities.
You would be sent out as a recon/research team.
So yeah, you get the idea.
Would be a pretty awesome game if done right.
EDIT: I think it would work pretty great as a co-operative action RPG like Monster Hunter as well.
(Imagine massive bosses, resource gathering and synthesis, different build customisations for each character. Fast paced fighting with magic, (maybe a little more Dissidia or Kingdom Hearts than Monster Hunter))
Zazzle has a sale today only for 50% off white T-shirts by using the code SPRINGTSHIRT at checkout.
I'd like to suggest my own T-shirt design, but of course it's up to you. I'm not much of a T-shirt wearer, but I'm tempted to pick up some. $7.50 for a value T-shirt is hard to pass up.
I'm watching The Twilight Zone movie on youtube.
(Would buy a blu ray, but I got season 2 and 3 coming in the post, so I'll probably get it with season 4 next time)
And as soon as I saw the arcade machine, I shouted "THATS TEMPEST!!"
I think the game the kid is playing is Tempest.
Either that or Space Giraffe.
(I've never played either oddly enough, but the whole vector tunnel gameplay is very distinctive!)
EDIT: Also the women mentioned Willoughby, which I instantly recognised the referrence from.

Awesome! I'd never noticed that reference. Well spotted.
You probably already know this but keep an eye on Ethel in the remake segment of 'It's a Good Life'. She's played by Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson). It's quite ironic that she gets wished into cartoon land!
Oh dear. I checked a few of the accounts... they're real.
So, in the book of my life, if anyone were to read it... I mean, would finding out that there are people this stupid be considered a sympathetic reason to hang myself? People, man. God dammit.

This monster...
... is not as scary as this monster...
However, this gremlin...
... is far scarier than this gremlin...
Prefer this version! XD
EDIT: In fact come to think of it, there were quite a few Twilight Zone parodies in that show...
'It's a Good Life'
'Nightmare at 20000 Feet'
'The Scary Door'

Indeed. It's a beautiful reference (1:30 into the clip).
And in turn, that reminds me of Coolsome. The circle is complete!
I sure hope so, it would be depressing if Real Life were real.

The Matrix has you.

You sir are quite mad... but I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT!!!
Needs some percussion and a few sound effects.
(Maybe some pony noises! XD)
EDIT: Do it in jazz club style.

That was both filthy and funny.

Is that young John Lithgow? I love John Lithgow, I even have his album!
You love John Lithgow and you've never watched 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'?! Yeesh!
Yup!
John Lithgow's segment of 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'. (skip to 13.50)
and then...
Click here to continue.
and finally...
Click here to watch the end.
Please do watch. It's fantastic.
That was fairly badass. I particularly liked the eyeball-poppin' when he sees the gremlin on the wing!

You were right the first time, it is indeed 'Tempest'. You can tell for sure by the cabinet's artwork.
Awesome! I'd never noticed that reference. Well spotted.

That pisses me off to no end. Seriously, this is why I don't read Twitter. I can't handle the stress of this stupidity.
So, in the book of my life, if anyone were to read it... I mean, would finding out that there are people this stupid be considered a sympathetic reason to hang myself? People, man. God dammit.
