In doing a little fact-checking, I can in fact verify this is from an ad.

It should be noted, however, that A) Bruce Lee would be more than capable of replicating the effect in real life, if he happened to still be alive, and B) the credibility of the site kinda tanks for me when they can't differentiate between Karate and Kung Fu and they mispell "nunchaku" repeatedly.

In short, the guy was awesome, and even if it's not really him, who cares, it's pretty well-done.  :D

An amazing livestream!  It's currently been going for over 40 hours straight.  As of right now, the streamer is sleeping nearby while his friends carry on, and have been doing a live reading of the script to Pulp Fiction.

Edit: The host, Josh, has rejoined the conscious, Pulp Fiction is over, and they have moved on to Star Wars IV...

Do you know how long someone who is as sarcastic as I am would last in prison? Suuuuuuch a long time.

Holy crap this game is awesome

Oh dear God, no. What have you done to me?

 :bigeyes

If you don't hear from me within 48 hours expect the worst. That I have been swallowed up by the game and am now living next to the ASCII candy man (who looks like the 4th Doctor) and tending my lollipop farm.

Sadly I can't fully appreciate the reference  :(. I've never seen that movie. Should I change that?

Do you enjoy watching enjoyable things?

If so, yes.

If not, I'm wondering why.

Also, while we're on the subject on of cockroaches: http://en.rian.ru/science/20080117/97179313.html

The end is nigh. It was our arrogance that led us to think that if we bred super-cockroaches in space nothing could go wrong.

If anyone needs me I'll be holing up in my desert bunker.

Or you could do what I'm doing, since it's a cap of 100 lp/s, is leave on my candies-lp converter, wait an hour, buy the next level of candies rate from the sorceress, wait a couple hours, buy the next level, etc. etc.  And for the love of all things holy, wait until you use the wishing well.  Wait until you have 99999999 lps.  No, 99999999999 lps.  I did it at about 1.8 million, and I'm regretting it.  Did anyone take the fire sword upgrade instead of the life one?  I'm curious as to whether or not I made the right decision, and I don't think I did....
