Sympathy

I was watching the Goo Goo Dolls performing live in Buffalo on DVD when somethin g that Johnny Rzeznik said before he started singing this song struck me. "... it is something we all need once in a while but should never ask for." Very well put I would say, and I certainly agree with him. Everybody needs a little sympathy once in a while but never in any circumstances should one demand or r equest to be sympathized with.

To sidetrack, watch Matchstick Men, it's good :) 2. Comprehensiveness - I have

Real Life Starcraft/Broodwar

I was searching for some video replays of Starcraft on YouTube when I stumbled across these two very hilarious videos, but of course you'll need to be a Starcraft fan to be able to appreciate them.

Try not to laugh too loud if you are watching this in the office, and you'll need to put on your earphones, cos' the sound effects may be a little disturbing. Real Life Starcraft Real Life Broodwar I don't know about you, but watching this does bring back many fond gaming memories of yesteryears.
