I recently found out that because of the passing of a new German Tax Law, Uwe Boll, a Rip-off Artist Director who makes such 'Classics' as the Movie Adaptations of: 'House of the Dead' 'Far Cry' *For some reason* 'Bloodrayne' 'Postal' *only good part was Boll getting shot in the balls* and other such tragedies, has now lost his entire livelihood, and despite saying in an interview that he 'doesn't give a shit' he tried to get money through a crowdfunding campaign to make more...and it predictably failed...His actions betray his words.

On a side note: He really should have CARED more about the people who watch his films...Now he's SOL.

This brings us to the topic at hand, What did you not know until very recently.

I feel sad for this robot.  Its entire function in life is to try and make you happy, and eventually you're going to get bored with it and throw it away.

Then again, maybe it is just a robot mimicking human feelings, and when robots really have emotions, they're different, robot emotions.

Hey, I only tried it once! And then I apologized by clearing my internet history and letting it beat me at chess for the rest of the day!

It's worse for Cities Skylines, I can only run a few before my computer gets the fritz, so much for making beautiful cities. ;(

He did a movie called Rampage (not based on video game) which was okay. 

But yeah pretty much all his other movies suck a lot.

I recently learned that Alan Rickman was the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... How the hell did I not recognize his voice? cheeky

Who was the *Aherm* lucky guy that taught you? Dammit! You ninja editting fool!

Probably because of all the robot-voice special effects of the 70s/80s/whenever that was made.
