I don't know about you people who said it wasn't as funny, I still laughed out loud, embarrassing myself at work... again... I didn't find the end as funny as the Painkiller one, but maybe that's because I hate, hate, hate online shooters (against anything other than people you know in the same room as you), whereas I played Painkiller quite a bit, and found the cut scenes to be utterly terrible.

So was that the intro to Painkiller he voiced over? I assume it was because the text said something about Painkiller... could have been the expansion though.

Never played either, only the demos... I was expecting Serious Sam. I cried and ran the uninstaller.

Most of the work has already been done for him, though, by the New England Skeptical Society in the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe-podcast; or anyone with a brain larger than that of an Emu…

Anyhoo - good visual runthrough… (Though the music made me reach for the painkillers immediately, but I may just be getting old…)

standards and morals are both subjective things. You have no right to impose them on society at large without a compelling reason for societal improvement vs detriment. Believe it or not, laws that stand the test of time are based on societal improvement, not personal standards or morals. My morals are not much different than everyone elses but the differences (in detail and degree) can be crucial enough that to impose my morals upon someone else - to the extent of punishing them would be immoral and not conducive to the furtherance of society. Laws exist to protect society, not individuals. Murder is detrimental to society. Injured/abused/neglected/uneducated children are detrimental to society. starving people are a detriment to society. etc. Any socially responsible reason you can come up with to punish drug users can be covered by other laws or methods. Afraid drug users will screw up their jobs? Thats why employers are allowed the freedom to have drug testing and screening. Think drug use is causally connected to criminal activity? We have laws against criminal activity already. All the "war on drugs" has done has been to criminalize a sector of people who are NOT criminals otherwise, do not hurt anyone else and some of whom have had their lives improved by drugs. Frankly I hate how this "war" has made doctors and pharmacists feel paranoid - get a prescription for painkillers after surgery, watch that scrip run dry in a couple of days while you are left in agonizing pain, try to talk your doctor into giving you a refill and see what I'm talking about. I had surgery 6 times over the course of a year and let me tell you, this "war" has had a direct effect upon MY comfort because of the pressure on doctors to avoid prosecution. Not to mention how much MONEY its costing us all as taxpayers. I'm constantly astounded that conservatives bleat about "personal responsibility" and getting government out of the "nanny state" until, you know, it comes to Teh Evil Drugs!! Then it's "nanny us please!"
Conservatives don't want the government taking our money in order to feed poor people, but its okay to take our money to keep a pot-smoker in prison. Where is the conservative logic in that?

when i first heard this tune, i was in hospital, i had just been given some very strong painkillers, i was totally high, and my girl was falling asleep on my chest. I tuned in to our radio show which I should have been presenting, and my man Tattva played this song.

best. trip. ever.

Seen it as well, Deathcow, arnica cream works.

Gor, are you seriously suggesting that the British Medical Journal is skewed towards homeopathic medicine?

I for one am totally for modern medicine, but every once in a while, something happens that just doesn't work as per the standard medicine doctrine. To try and keep it as short as possible, my wife had a headache of which 3 trips to the doctor and some serious painkillers were not working at all. It had been 3 days and she was about to be admitted to Emergency. Her sister suggested seeing a chiropractor. After 5 minutes of talking with my wife (the only person who really talked to her about her pain) he figured out that it all came from her going swimming 4 days ago and doing laps. The neck twists had bunged something up in her upper back that mapped on one of his charts to the exact spot on her head where it hurt. He did his magic on her back and by the time we got back home all her pain was gone. And then she fell asleep and slept for about 20 hours. All the normal doctors wanted to do was use more and more drugs. I had never cared one way or another about chiropractors before, but this sure worked.

Chuck's usually quite lucid and probably would make a good announcer when he retires. It totally does look like he took too much Nyquil. His body just wants to go to sleep in the worst way. He's probably also on some painkillers here, but not addicted to them.
