Unless I read something wrong, that's what it said, right?
The OS would operate on living room systems?

I probably missed something, then.

Apparently our laptops and personal computers are living room systems now.

There were some good American TV shows as well, back in the day. M*A*S*H, Emergency! (which actually caused the rest of the nation to create paramedic programs), Bewitched, etc. I'd recommend watching any one of them if you can (especially the first two).

While it is true that moviemaking was incredibly censored and propagandised under Stalin, after destalinization you could film, write or paint pretty much anything as long as it wasn't too adult, too liberal or at all critical of the state.

I'll try to see a few of those.


I guarantee you that if America had those same policies, M*A*S*H would not have been made. Also, another show that I forgot to mention is the Andy Griffith show.

2. Stupidity, like mono, is transmitted via kissing. And there's not much difference between kissing and licking. Don't give yourself mono.

It'll start off small, a little super tactical supergluing on the lever but you can't close those gates once their open. There will be escalation, soon we'll be supergluing objects to tables and then we'll be spreading superglue on keyboards and doorknobs and before you know it testicles will be superglued to thighs and there's just no coming back from that.

I assume it's a work in progress? I shoot at abstract figures but there doesn't seem to be a real driving force behind the gameplay, if it even can be called gameplay.
