The insufferable Tim Rogers wrote:“In a world of light and darkness, where perception is reality”. What the fuck does that mean?
It makes perfect sense to me. What a person understands as "reality" is only how his brain has interpreted the information available to it through his senses. To say that "perception is reality" is more a statement of fact than it is pseudo-English bullshit. It's not especially insightful or interesting, but it's not incomprehensible, as Rogers suggests.
I think the intent of the phrase is to say that morality is not absolute in the sense of "light" and "dark", because one's ability to perceive reality and events is frequently flawed, biased, or skewed. If you convince yourself that you perceived one thing, when factual reality is another, would you still be able to act correctly?

You could have just put Tim Rogers down and all would have been well, but this:
We confess: we were at the store to buy Bayonetta. We did buy it, and we hate it. Fuck that game. Fuck Weekly Famitsu for giving it a perfect score. Fuck Japan for letting this shit happen, and for ignoring Sin and Punishment 2.
What is this I see before me? Actual pearls of wisdom from Tim Rogers?! Tim Rogers exercising cognitive thought and brain function?
Jesus, that's one of the most accurate comments out of mainstream journalism I've ever seen.
Lame window rear-window decals that say stupid stuff. On the way to work, I often see this truck that has a big one on the back window that says, "SILLY BOYS! TRUCKS ARE FOR GIRLS!" I swear, normaltards are so moronic to find something like this amusing.

The buzz surrounding Sin and Punishment 2 was so subaudible that it managed to completely slip under our radar and be released at a time when we literally had no idea it was even more than a quarter developed, much less near-complete with a release date announced, much less actually released. There it was, on a shelf, next to Bayonetta, in the New Games section, on October 29th, 2009. We confess: we were at the store to buy Bayonetta. We did buy it, and we hate it. Fuck that game. Fuck Weekly Famitsu for giving it a perfect score. Fuck Japan for letting this shit happen, and for ignoring Sin and Punishment 2. The game opens with a title card in English: “In a world of light and darkness, where perception is reality”. What the fuck does that mean? “Where perception is reality”? Did anyone actually apply any brainpower, there?
After reading that paragraph, I felt like someone had swiftly punched me in the stomach. How can anyone claiming to love videogames be so incredibly off base in his judgement and reasoning skills? Bayonetta sucks because of the silly semi-Engrish tagline? Dear lord...
I have strong contempt for Rogers (though I find him very funny on occasion), because he reminds me so much of gamers my age who haven't the slightest clue what true passion is. If they had passion for their hobby, they would be made fun of until the cows came home by their stupid, boring, generic friends. "You liek geams with lolis! LOL" they say. Which is why they are too cowardly to use their instincts. Instead they just submit to Call of Duty 4 and nod their heads vigorously when their drunk fratboy friend yells "THZ IS THA BEST GEAM IN THE HIZTORY OF EVAAAR! WOOT WOOT WOOT!" Oh, well. Sucks to be them.
First and foremost, the guy sounds like a fucking robot with a monotone voice. It is clear after watching a couple of these videos that the man voicing the review has probably never played the game in question at all. He simply reads the script that Inecom gives him, from a journalist who DID play the game. Furthermore, I find it a little amusing how half of the review is nothing more than a silly montage in the vein of Benny Hill, entertaining the stupid viewers and disgusting the intelligent ones.
He barely touches upon the augmentations, abilities, complexities, nor does he even bother to compare the game to the original. I learned more about the game from the video footage than from a word of his dreadfully dull, shallow, subhuman ramblings.

what about the signs that say "Caution, Baby Onboard". So what? I was going to run you off the road, but once I saw that sign in your rear window I decided against it. Whew!

Agreed. I have a child and I wouldn't think that putting one of those signs in my rear window would keep her safe.
But really, where are you seeing those? I live in Arizona, and I haven't seen a "baby onboard" sign here for a very long time. The last time I saw one was in Japan of all places. In English.

I can't remember specifically when I saw one last, but I just think they're dumb.

Haha.. On my car, right? Yeah - I know its stupid, but every time I take it down the wife insists I put it back up. I'm with BKD on this one.. "so what? How am I going to drive differently now that I know there may/not be a baby-on-board". Yes its stupid. Yes I hate that sign. BUT - as most married men will agree, you have to pick your battles. And that's one I choose not to fight.
i don't think it's like saying "don't crash into this car" for everyone. a lot of people most likely just want to brag about having kids.
that aside, putting up such a sticker/sign in hope it'll make other drivers be more careful around you is like acknowledging the danger of getting your kid into an accident. for those that feel that way, not driving their kid around on the highway is the only real solution.

i hate communicating with women for most of the time.
I get up everyday and drive to the office while my girlfirend goes to the university by bike. Then one day it's raining and instead of asking if i can just drop her off at the university we have a conversation like this:
She: "Are you going to work today?"
Me: "Uhhhm yeeess..... i go to work everyday...."
She: "Well you drive with your car today?"
Me : "I drive to work EVERYDAY, it's 15 kilometres... you can't walk that distance."
She : "Yeah that's right... and today it is raining as you can see. Damn i have to get on my bike... what a mess."
So basically i have to figure out what the fuck she means. She wants me to pick her up but she will NEVER ask me directly...and this goes for a lot of things...

I said to my fiancee that I didn't want a wedding cake. That required 2 hours to get straight even though I agreed we should get a cake after 2 mins. I also noticed if I do something excellent for her it gets forgotten in 10 minutes. If I do something bad like mention "do you really need that?" its like a memorial is made for the event.
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.

Ha ha, I love it, such is life my friend. You're not alone.
I'll say something (anything) and most of the time it will be instant disagreement. Being diplomatic, I usually just agree with her point to avoid arguments (I mean, who cares really, there's only two people in the room right, it's not a radio broadcast.)
But agreeing really does jack shit. She'll spend about forty minutes to make sure I genuinely and truly 'understand' her point. She's obviously onto the fact that I sincerely don't.

Ha! I didn't notice that on your car. At least, I don't remember. Is it written in Japanese or English? I've seen the English "baby on board" signs on cars in Japan. Maybe somebody will be to preoccupied trying to read the sign, remembering their high school English classes, that they neglect to notice your brake lights?

watching Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal Lecter says "chiAAAAAANti". That just irks me for some reason. Somebody as sophisticated as Lector would know the correct way to pronounce it.
So sick of brown nosers especially the ones at work who act like your best friend then dog you out behind your back, its like they would sell their own soul just to get some browny points and a chance to move up the ladder at your expense.
sick of working my ass off only for others to get the recognition from my efforts :/

For example, do not describe increasing temperatures or an increasingly rancorous debate with the phrase "hotting up". I don't care if you write professionally for The Guardian or the BBC; it makes you look like an illiterate tool.

The English vernacular has become something that really annoys the hell out of me over the past 10 years or so, especially with the word "sick" implying "cool" or whatever. As in, "Dude, check out that sick car," or, "He did a sick bicycle trick yesterday." This is reason enough to leave the country. I'm sick of the word "sick" being a new slang word. I think George Lucas tampering with the Star Wars movies over and over again is sick, and I should expect that nobody would misunderstand me as thinking that I think it's really cool.

I can't stand it when people repeatedly hear me wrong, or at least think they do, and then immediately repeat the sentence back to me word for word with the exception of maybe one letter being wrong in one word. It's like, they'll change a consonant at the beginning of one word to change it into a word that doesn't make the slightest bit of sense in the sentence and not be able to think about it for 5 seconds and just replace it with the only logical alternative.
I guess the core of the matter is people practically cutting me off to make me repeat myself as opposed to actually processing what they heard enough to make sense out of it. It seems to have been happening to me more than usually lately and is really starting to get to me.
