What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

Ill start the abusing with the guest posting by putting up some of my favorite one-liners. These will just be little, stupid quotes that, I find, are pretty amusing.
So, here goes:
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines
Mental backup in progress - Do Not Disturb!
Mind Like A Steel Trap - Rusty And Illegal In 37 States
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.
Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have
The only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded
Black holes are where God divided by zero.
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand
There are more, but Id like to not waste everyones time.
Later everyone

...that things are way too darn serious around here.
Seriously.
So I was kind-of-not-really wondering why this was – okay, so it took me all (if that) of the three seconds needed to spam reply to Katana's comment in the real podcast box – and I realized that we're topic-happy.
I mean, wasn't this world created specifically for spamming? *poke* Sure, a good discussion about stuff is ... well, good, every now and then, but too much cayenne in the pie just leaves a bad taste in your mouth, neh? (That, and who eats a cayenne pie?)
So come on, people. Quit trying to be intelligent, and find some things to throw at each other. This is a watercooler. Not a debate forum or a commiserative meeting of Otakus Anonymous. (No offense to Miss Anonymous.)
Don't make me start picking on Sangome again. 'Cause I will.

Adam has now added a "Posted by..." to appear with each post. My question is: should we continue to sign our names with every post, or just go with the "Posted by..."?
We'll do whatever the majority decides.

The new season begins!
The first episode of theOtaku.com Poscast: VV is now online! Go get it!
As in previous posts, it's been stated that violence has escalated due to anime. I would just like to say that there's always been a debate about violence-inducing television or video games. It's always going to be out there. We could argue this point with people making Death Notes and then trying to remake Naruto moves. But, the anime or video game is not at fault it's the person. 'Guns don't kill people. People kill people.'
So we could really argue it both ways. Yes, the anime is what spurred the people into thinking such things were 'good' ideas; but, then again people also have common sense, though they very rarely use it. It's still there. Anime really isn't to blame--it's just easy to blame.
So, any other thoughts, post 'em in the comments.
