Starring Kevin Bieksa as the main villain
- Nucker101


Bieksa would play me pretty good actually... knuckle chucking and slaying people with one liners... and wouldnt be over qualified with the skating and D awareness either.

100%. But it's interesting that Nuckers take is about self awareness and controlling your own destiny, not one being influenced by outside forces. Nietzsche's theories about own responsibility is exactly what Nucker's perspective is about.

Every human has weaknesses and will fall down, but it's the getting up that matters. The people who refuse to get up, well, (frank) them.

That's fair, if a bit heartless. My question is where do you draw the line age-wise, at what point should we be totally responsible for ourselves in situations like this. I'm pretty sure that if I went through that at the age of 18 or 19 I would probably have needed help to crawl out of it.

You can't just leave all kids to fend for themselves, they'd all die

Who would you like to portray you in the mini-series that we are pitching to HBO?

Exactly. Pity is weak.

Not my beliefs but interesting non the less. The reason I bring it up is that I see this pitiless perspective more and more prevalent these days.

Saying that, all the kid has to do is pull a Daigle and then sit back with millions, getting fat and pale, while blowing your brain out on visual stimuli.

24 years old is when people start maturing these days. 3-4 years of maturing too.

Totally depends on different variables in your life. Some mature earlier than that, some later. But I would agree it's a process that takes at least a couple of years.

That was the consensus of the study that was done. Some journal of something

I think post education delay's growing up quite a bit.

Yeah, I think so too. I've been through it pretty recently and I can see the lifestyle differences and different mentalities between my friends who went off to school and the ones who have 4 extra years of work experience on them

Too old but I wouldnt rule out Amanda Plummer.


Hopkins is way too type cast and couldnt dumb it down.

They actually have video game addiction camps these days. He can get help if he wants it.

My step mother is a psycotherapist and several of her clients are young males who literally can’t function in society because of their video game compulsion. I’m not sitting here feeling sorry for him, just pointing out that an addiction to something that most of look at as a recreation can be just as harmful as the more traditional addictables.

Apparently the kid with the Video Game addiction is Max Jones.

Makes sense when you look at his numbers and him being a healthy scratch constantly.
