I'm a big TMBG fan, and I've never seen them live.

I don't know if I'd want to have experiences and not remember them. After all, isn't that the best part? Being able to remember? Looking back fondly? Remembering the emotion?
Yeah, it'd be fun at the time. But later?

I'm kind of on the fence with the amazing year without memory. On the one hand I'd so enjoy doing wild things without consequence...on the other I really like being able to remember what I do...hmmm

Wait, wait, wait. I'm still working on the Meds + Math = Meth formula. I was barely able to get out of my underwear and now you passed by the fictional character I'd like to be to question my moral and ethical integrity.

I think wrong is wrong regardless of physical or moral implications, memory or financial gain. I also know that I am weak and a closet hedonist, hypocrit and heretic. Sigh.

Br off!

Heh. I am listening to the outtakes from the series, and it just came to the part where Mal says "I don't wear underwear, you know that" as I was catching up on this thread. I thought it was great.

Tristan - Yeah I still have my Atari, Colleco Vision (with the Atari adapter), Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Play Station 2 (gave the 1 to my nephews a few years back), X-Box and now a Nintendo Wii!

*realizes that he just admitted to an extreme case of Geekness*

As far as the Year and no memory. Not a chance. That would mean that there would be a year missing the little one grow.

JQ - The Wii rocks just in fun value. The wireless, motion sensitive Wii remote is soo much fun. The Game it comes with is Wii Sports (there is tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing) and it is kid oriented. So the little one can bowl with me (currently she has the high score in that) or play golf. You actually have to swing the club or roll the ball and it reads you motion so english is added in bowling and my slice is still there for golf

Hey y'aaaall (imitates the only American teacher in my school)

We still have our nintendo *indulges in her love of Zelda* and the PS2 but it breaks a lot. For Christmas I got the XBox360 which is awesome sauce, but I'd like a chance to go on the Wii. Although in England there have been complaints about the wrist tag thigns breaking and then the controllers flying up and either breaking, or breaking the gamers nose.

As for the year and memory thing... no. I value memories, so I'd rather take my chances.

ps. for christmas I also got one of those Chocolate fountain things from my boyfriend (!). This is very exciting, as I get to use it at the next party. I predict much melted chocolate going everywhere. Plus, its just, you know, cool.

I think the FFF.net is the only "sci-fi" show website that I actually feel nerdy for de-lurking to comment on math. I guess that's what I love about Firefly.

In an effort to stimulate discussion, I guess I'll pose a question (not really gender-related and may belong in some other section):

With Apple's unveiling of the iPhone, which makes calls (of course), has access to the internet, does maps, weather, stocks, etc., takes pictures, sends email, plays music and video, and makes julienne fries, is technology taking over? Have we lost part of our souls to these devices, or is technology as of late opening doors for the betterment of humankind? I suspect it's a bit of both, but I'd like to hear other opinions.

Though Timmy does have some great lines ( on seeing his dad with a puppet of his mom pretending it's real) " No amount of therapy can make this moment right."

Those quotes sound very Buffy-ish to me. I could totally picture Xander saying the first and Buffy saying the second.

Experience without memory is not the best option, but I would still take it over not having the experience. 'Course, there is little I would be missing in real life, like children growing up, etc to make missing a year of memory a negative thing.

MSG - I don't know. Video Games are just fun. Like board games or reading books or D&D (another Geekness confession). Some are also pretty to watch. Graphics are something I have always wanted to get into. Like art only used in a game.
Some RPGs (role playing games)I have played are better than most movies I have seen. They tell better stories. Only in a lot of them I control the story (I like creative writting as well(man what is it with the Geek confessions today?)).

Fitch66 - I am unsure why....scratch that. The reason the straps are breaking is because people are getting carried away with the games. I have yet to even feel my grip slipping while playing and neithe has my daughter. So the straps are moot. I put them on and sinch them up for every game I play but I think people need to just chill while playing and take a break inbetween game if the controllers are feeling slippery.
