G&S style

I am the very model of a disembodied headical
eating up the pellets, dots and ghosts until their deadical
When day is done I return home to boink Ms P in bedical
(chorus)
When day is done he returns home to boink Ms P. in bedical

R&H style

Chomp every pellet
Eat pinky and inky
Swallow every fruit bonus
Till. You. Reach. Kill. Screen.

Sondheim style

Into the maze you have to go
with fruits and ghosts and dots in tow
Into the maze get on your way, you must begin your journey
Into the maze and out of the maze and home before dark

-or-

There's a hole in the maze like a great black pit
And it's filled with ghosts who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Pacman, tell you why...

That pinky finger....I want to chop it off. >.<

Right, Dewey the Cat. Not to be confused with Pinky the Cat.

Anyone else noticed the boxes the guy picks up at 6:50? "Quayola Crayons, 64 Shades of Brown" and "Pinkies, 10 individually wrapped snacks".

In other matters, I hope ID has finally learned how to tell a story and build characters, they are fast running out of new shades of brown to show the world.

Funny I thought it was all in the pinkie ring.

Excellent use of the pinky finger. I think "Karate Nerd" would be a better song title though...

Yes, I have to admit that as a Pianist I am intrigued by this. However, I have several warm up exercises already that I find very useful indeed that increase strength and dexterity. These ones might help though. But I won't know until I try! >> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

I know this guy is weird..
But seriously, those exercises totally work.
I found a couple of his videos back when I was into sleight of hand and they definitely helped.
My fingers were slow and I could barely isolate my ring finger and pinkie.
If you practice guitar or piano or anything that calls for nimble fingers..
your life will be so much easier if you perform those exercises before your session.
I wish I add $50 bucks to waste on the dvd. =/

To make it more realistic, the ring finger should bend half way down when the pinky finger bends.

I, for one, welcome the inevitable robot brothels (which, btw, will obviously be legal).

Is the shopping centre not responsible for the unlawful use of its equipment by its employees?


First, it's "center" not "centre". You may live in Australia, but you were born and raised here, so stop with the European "pinkies out" bullshit.

Second, yes, the mall is responsible for unlawful use of its equipment by its employees. I think it falls under Respondeat Superior, but I do believe this responsibility is limited. Aside from disciplining or firing the security guards who leaked the tape, I cannot see any further obligations necessary from the mall. Then again, I'm not a lawyer.

I'd suspect it works kind of like this. You can't hold McDonald's liable if some lunatic employee came into work and decided to shoot the place up. But if he sold a chicken sandwich as a burger and refused to fix the problem, then that would be different a violation of the contract between customer and McDonald's therefore McDonald's would be liable to fix it (redress). In the case of the mall security guard, they stole company property and published it on the web, and the mall has a reasonable obligation to fire or reprimand the employee and redress any damages which are none in this case. Zero. No rights were not infringed. There was no broken contracts, no damages, nothing.

Pinkies out.

wow.
After her third or fourth sentence, I felt a strong urge to ruin her hands.
Is that unhealthy? o_O


I know, just fucking Tonya Harding the left pinky

I know roughly jack shit about breakdancing, but that was fun to watch.

My only problem with judged Olympic-type events is that a routine that looks fantastic to a new viewer is often outranked by more technically difficult routines that don't looks as amazing to the untrained eye. This is true for figure skating, gymnastics, snowboarding, motocross, and on and on. I don't mean to suggest that judges should rate performances by audience reactions, but it can be incredibly frustrating to listen to the expert commentary:

(analyst) Oh, he was incredibly sloppy in the last quarter of his final revolution there...
(me) Dude, that guy just spun around in the air some number of times that I couldn't even accurately count while suspending himself with his pinky. Sometimes I fall down when I put my pants on one leg a time in the morning.

Thank you for votes, chtierna! I've been having so much fun being pushed up this little star ladder from groovy sifters like you, and I really appreciate the back-up! I will also be voting for you as well.


*pinkie swear* I won't turn douche no matter which gem.

In reply to this comment by chtierna:
Congrats on the silver. You joined recently and have been rocketing up the ladder Just don't be a douche when you hit the diamonds and you can always count on my vote

We went in not knowing anything about the game.

This is the key to making a game scary, IMO. It's also why I haven't truly been scared by a game since the 1990s. By the time you get your hands on a game nowadays, you already know everything about it.

The original Doom is still the scariest game I've ever played and it was mostly because I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know the monsters; I didn't know the weapons; I didn't know what the engine itself was capable of. My first encounter with a pinky was quite memorable. I had heard it growling in the distance for several minutes. The sound was a new one; I had only seen zombies and imps up to that point; so I was cautiously creeping around trying to pin it down. I finally came face to face with it as I came around a corner in a very tight hallway; the ideal location to fight 500lbs of teeth and muscle.

XCom 2 is my other noteworthy game for being scary, though it was more of a nervous tension than outright fear.

Since then, games have startled me with "boo!" tactics, but none of them have really been scary.
