I've always wondered what being in a coma is like. Does it feel as though no time has passed at all? Do you dream?

I'd want to find out about the present government, and how all my friends and family are doing.

I think it differs, depending on how severe the coma is. I remember hearing a story about someone who was in a coma, yet was consciously aware of everything around her, for something like 5 years. She was in a hospital right next to a campus, and frequently, a doctor would take students on a tour of the hospital. They would stop at her room, and the doctor would say, "This is Sally. She is in a coma, and she will never wake up." The doctor would then explain what a coma was, and then move on. Eventually though, she did wake up, and she said she recalled everything that was going on around her, she was just unable to move or open her eyes.
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

How did she avoid losing her mental faculties? Five years without movement, constantly hearing that you'll never wake up. Doesn't sound conducive to a healthy mental state.
Anami and Anami are sitting around Anami says "GRR I AM ANGSTY LET'S EXPRESS ANGST" and so Anami says "ONE OF THE MODS ON DC IS A DICK I POSTED A PICTURE THAT WASN'T REALLY THAT INAPPROPRIATE AND THREE MODS SAW IT AND DID NOTHING THEN A FOURTH ONE SAW IT AND DELETED IT" and Anami says "OMG I HATE MODS >:("

Has Duke Nukem Forever come out yet?
I can answer that one for you, at least: No.
