All my threads get it.
That's not bad. Mr. Cool Ice is probably the dumbest ever. The first one in the thread is pretty dumb though.Geeky:

I was not explicitly saying it was bad. The main title is about geeky tattoos; the worst part seemed like an afterthought.
I just found Mr. Cool Ice on youtube. I haven't listened to it yet since my sound isn't hooked up on my computer right now.

It's not worth listening to, unless you understand German.

*Gives it a try*...
Oh wow, Mr Cool Ice speaks my language!
What an idiot, though...
Yeah, I almost shot blood out of nose the video was so agitating. He spent 4,000 on tattoos, and the woman in the tiger skin outfit said he looked like crap.

How much German do you actually understand? Maybe I'll never really know...

I think that is something hard to quantify. Mr. Cool Ice is also a clean freak.
I honestly didn't see that one coming. I expected his house to be a pigsty.

Does it look more familiar in this context?
Or like this?
No?
Then imagine...
...imagine that you wake up on a cold stone slab, in a room that smells of death and embalming fluid. You have no idea how you got here. You sit up and look around to see other corpses stretched out on slabs - you're in a mortuary, and someone apparently took you for dead before bringing you in here. You ache all over, especially on your back.
The only living person in the room, who stretches the definitions of both "living" and "person", is a flying, talking, deadpanning skull who floats over to you. He introduces himself as Morte and asks your name. You realize that you can't remember: you've lost your memory!
But apparently you knew this was going to happen. The skull tells you that someone's written a message on your back (no wonder you hurt so much!) which reads as follows:
But you don't seem to have a journal on you...Tattoos on your Back said:
This is the opening of Planescape: Torment, one of the greatest games I've had the honor of playing. You take the role of the Nameless One, out to find your journal and your memories, and to find out who did this to you, and what the hell is going on. Your journey will lead you across the planes, encountering ghosts of former lovers, guttersnipe thieves, greedy beggar-kings, ghouls and skeletons with enough intelligence to speak, and a host of other colorful characters.
I shouldn't spoil the game too much for anyone who plays it, so I'll try to get back to the topic at hand. One of the symbols branded on the Nameless One's flesh is the Symbol of Torment seen above. It marks him permanently - even beyond death. For death has abandoned the Nameless One. Forget savescumming. In Planescape: Torment, death is only a minor inconvenience and leaves you waking up after your body has been dragged back to the Mortuary or another nearby location.
The game is an incredibly good RPG. You can play it in the usual hack-and-slash manner of most games calling themselves RPGs, accumulating plot points between sessions of killing people you've been asked to kill. You can also be charismatic, wise or stealthy, bluffing your way through problems, solving them nonviolently or avoiding them entirely. Even the final enemy of the game can be defeated in four or five different ways, only one of them violent.
Unfortunately, the game flopped a bit when it was originally produced, and ended up a little-known classic, possibly because the box art looked like it featured a blue Rastafarian.
