update:
One of my young cousins passed away back home in SC. Car accident.....

On top of that my brother in law has tried to hustle my parents. Went to my folks this past Saturday and asked for help to keep the lights one. Keep in mind he had a job and quit so baby momma couldn't get anymore child support garnishments. Anywho they give him the money since my sister is pregnant with baby #3. Dad caught him yesterday coming out of guitar center with a new saxaphone. Pops caught him in a lie about the saxaphone and he ended up returning it for a refund and giving the money back but; why we gotta take advantage of people man?

Sorry for your lost. Folks like that is why folks don't want to help their fellow man anymore.

You didn't like it? That's too bad. Ewan McGregor is great and ScarJo's character sorta makes sense IMO for the naive
clone
that she is supposed to be. She has never been a great actress (though I like the voicework she does in 'Her') she is just a beautiful looking person. I really like pulp science fiction, stuff like the Island and Minority Report are good popcorn movies.

It's crazy how she's not even physically performing in her best role, Her.

She really should stick to voice acting.

McGregor was the one thing I enjoyed about the whole thing. Coulda sleptwalked through the movie but he turned in a pretty good performance. Him being so good just highlighted how bad ScarJo was.

The movie was just too ridiculous. I can turn my brain off and enjoy some explosions but it was asking too much of me. They're gonna send mercenaries to shoot through downtown LA and there was no police involved. Pieces of buildings crashing down, helicopters falling from the sky and once they kill these clones everyone is just gonna go about their business like it didn't happen?

The scene where they shoot McGregor's original character instead of the clone....um just throw your gun to the mercenaries and have them ask you some basic questions. Wouldn't be hard to figure out who is who....Mercenaries were quick as fuck to just shoot him too despite him being a world famous millionaire. Killed all the tension in the scene

Sorry to hear. It's a damn shame but I might be more likely to give money to a stranger than family. Definitely more likely for a friend. People will lie and ask for a need and use it for a want.

I wanna be excited about Destiny, but I'm not. It looks polished, but also really generic and too similar to other current shooters. Multiplayer looks like the exact opposite of what I want.

My sex playlists aren't made up of songs about fucking. They're made up of songs with amazing rhythms.
 
Rainbow road on 150cc breh. The rage is real
I actually tried it yesterday. Fuck. Shit is infuriating. You stay in first place for a nigga to hit you with a red shell. Then someone else hits you with a red shell. Then guess what your ass fell off the map.

Or you manage to finally stay in 1st, and on the last item box before the finish line you get hit with a blue shell, then a red shell, then another red shell. 7th place, motherfucker.
 
I only have sex to Swedish Death Metal

nah for real, it's usually ends up being portishead type downtempo/chillwave/whateverthefuck/instrumental hip-hop. Sex soundtracks are kinda overrated though. If things are going well, you won't be paying attention to that shit anyway nahmean nahmsayin' hollaatyaboy
 
it was the issue of the 2nd player you get in the Co-Op (Far Cry 4)not being female b/c of the silly reason they gave and then it spread to AC Unity not having any of the 4 player options being female as well

Evidently there's only one player option. Like Watch_Dogs multiplayer, or Pokemon games where you choose what trainer type you appearvas to friends.

I don't have playlists anymore. I always seem to attach relationships to albums. Musiq was my dope ass friends with benefits album. Can't listen to that anymore - halfcrazy does me dirty. Songs in A Minor by Alicia Keys is dedicated to my promise date. Can't play that. Mya albums had to be thrown in the bushes. Dru Hill was my college girl. Ginuwine was the girl I dumped on Valentine's Day.

That whole story I wrote was based on songs that meant something and gives you in idea where my head was at at the moment shit was happening. I really need to finish especially since my girl has finally read it. Yeah that's my next project.

And Al Green, Teddy and Luther are along with Prince as its own tier.

But I learned this from a comedian the best song to fuck to is the Green Acres theme song. And yes I've done it.

Sex playlists?

Ctrl+F "Marvin Gaye" = 0

Hmmmm...

Ctrl+F "Teddy Pendergrass" = 0

I am dissapoint.

EDIT: Damnit, that's what I get for skimming, lol...
 
This is probably the first time somebody has mentioned Pretty Ricky in 2014. Its probably the most recent result in Google for the last year.

I am happy that 150cc became brutal but at the same time I hate that 150cc became brutal.

You know, this is a bit late but after ViewtifulJC made me realize that some of the regulars I bump heads with might not know that I'm black, I figured I should introduce myself here.

Where you're from/Where you live: Born, raised, and currently reside in the Prospect/Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, NY.

Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy: Mother is Jamaican, daughter of her Cuban father and Jamaican mother. Father is Nigerian of Benin heritage. Unsure of specifics in lineage.

Do you know your roots: Not at all. :(

Your Age: 24 years old

Favorite musical genre: Anything that catches my ear, but I definitely have a slant to Hip Hop/Jazz/D&B. I'm extremely fraudulent at keeping up with the times though.

Your profession/major/career interest: Game Design & Animation

Your religious affiliation: Christian. Honestly, I think I just believe in God and "Do unto others" at this point.

Hobbies: Video games, animation, music, writing and drawing (haven't written in a long while and still haven't approached "passable" with my drawing)

#TeamPopeyes

I think I lurked the first few threads before we became Culture Threads but that was a LONG time ago. Hardly hang around OT side, especially when gold like the Drake vs Lil Wayne Capcom tour thread comes along..
