Who proclaimed something as non-intellectual as attending a rock concert to be acceptable behavior by anybody over the age of 25?

Rock concerts are not, and never have been, intended as entertainment for children. Adults playing video games is closer to playing hopscotch at 35 than to attending a concert.

What about adults watching hour upon hour upon hour of television shows about teenagers?

IMO, rock concerts have the same target audience as video games, the 13-25 demographic.

That's just being awesome.

Thanks, but I do not take life advice from message boards.

Gossip Girl has been over for years, and it really wasn't consistent enough (unlike The O.C. or Secret Life of The American Teenager) to rewatch after the fact, you cretin!

^ I have never seen either. 

That makes me AWESOME.

Anyway, what do you think about FO4?
I'm liking it so far. So glad that there's a color represented that's not swamp-green as in FO3.

I have never played any. A bunch of my friends are obsessed. Never head to their places to play video games though. I don't even have one of those next next next gen consoles. So fancy.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Actually.... I got the game on launch day but the Fallout nerd in my house is my fiancée, who has been playing the crap out of it since then.  The only thing I was able to do was create her character and watch her play.  So earlier when I said I was playing it, I should have said I bought it and have been watching someone else play.  If she hangs out with her friend tomorrow I will probably start my own character.  

From watching her game, it kinda just seems like more of the same.  I do appreciate the new color palette.  Voice acting seems good.  Graphics are good.  

She seems to enjoy all of the crafting elements of the game.

Does anyone keep up with Marvel? I kind of fell behind, but I went to pick up some back issues of the re launched Howard The Duck and saw it was back to #1 even though it just re-launched in like May.... Then I went online and found out about this Secret Wars thing... What the hell is going on?

Well, if we told you, it wouldn't be secret would it?

I do not keep up with Marvel books (outside of Ms Marvel for the missus).
