No one ever looks younger with a beard. You look younger without the beard. Stupid subby.

I knew Earth's marriage to Venus was a SHAM! The way it looks at Mars, you could just tell!

Yeah, but the Earth has a weak jawline. Sometimes a beard can hide that.

Bus sized? Would that be about van sized once it reached the ground?

I read that story 33 minutes after it already passed Earth.

I missed my chance to panic.

Just checking. The return of Apophis is the main plot point of the game.

That game, I just don't know how to feel about it... I loved the hell out of it while I was actually playing it, but that ending... Wow, that just sucked more than any ending has ever sucked! And, you can't even go back into the wasteland after beating it; it just loads up your last save prior to the ending... I hope they release good DLC for it to make up for that crappy ending...

/All that build up, they give you a farking BFG, and then nothing special to use it on!
