  • We'll give you a nice, relaxing message to grace your profile:
  • There are plenty of good games that you cannot play on PC. PC is not the be-all, end-all solution for gaming, and those who play consoles are not a bunch of lame assholes with poor taste.

  • Ah, if only we could be that cool. I'm a little disenchanted with the idea of professordom too, though, so I may not go any further than my master's. Regardless, who still needs/wants an avatar?
  • Wait...DI, what about the N64 and Gamecube was gimmicky in the way that the Wii was gimmicky? The controllers were shaped funny, sure, but the basis of the platforms were still the same basic controls as usual adapted for 3D... unless you're referring to something else? As for the Wii U... I've lost my faith in Nintendo,…

  • It's Mario's turn to assign an avatar.
  • As much as I love cats, their.... stupidity sometimes makes me sad. I feel for you... kitty love is among the highest forms of love.
  • HA. I suppose that's the downfall of having wooden structures. It's okay... I haven't been on the server in weeks. =)
  • Yep. You pick the avatar and the person.
  • This is for Ryan.
  • That IS neat! Congrats!

  • Just to clarify for everyone: feel free to say anything you like in the comments of the blog, as long as it's not vitriolic. Go crazy with historical interpretation, knowledge of what's coming up in the Bible, or just random conversation. I'm not publicizing this widely--it's pretty much just for my own use and you few…
  • This is a bit of self promotion, but I've got a blog I'm starting now. This isn't just a blog about my day. Recently I decided that I would read through the Bible from start to finish just to see what it says when read literally and since I don't really have anything to say when I have discussions with Christians who tell…
  • Yeah, I had the same impression. Very well done episode this week.
  • Wow... that... actually sounds like an interesting project. But of course I'm not loaded with other course work and have been out of school for a year, so I'm obviously in a very different position.
  • What frustrates me the most is that when I try to actually explain where their misconceptions are.... they ignore it or they just don't get it. They assume that I'm just talking out my ass because they ... I don't know, don't have the mental faculty to understand it? I'm not sure, because I know a smart person who became a…
  • Oh, by the way, here's a related tidbit. Congress is going to vote on REPEALING SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS. GOP Assault on Truth: Why Do Conservatives Pretend They Know More About Science Than Scientists? Article is too long to post in full. I don't find this amusing news but since we're on the subject... Am I wrong to be…
  • ....is..... is this where we're heading? I don't remember all of this anti-science stuff being as big a deal growing up. The only person I had ever met who thought that dinosaur bones were planted by Satan to sway nonbelievers was my then-crazy stepdad. Now I've been meeting young-earth creationists left and right who…
  • Okay, help me with this one. Occasionally I see people claiming that "you can build a decent gaming computer for $500." Some have even claimed as low as $250. That sounds like bullshit to me. Bullshit?
  • I have a big canker sore on the side of my tongue. It's right at the part of my tongue that rubs against the edge of my teeth. Talking, eating, and swallowing are all painful right now. Joy.
  • I'm very glad you posted this. Not only is it funny, but it prompted me to look on Amazon to see how much Xenogears is. I found a cheap, like new copy, complete with all materials, for free shipping. Booyah.
  • Yeah, not quite so much... and Dany's getting a bit more confident, and I think that helps. Very pleased with the second episode, BTW... I'm remembering some of the emotions I felt reading through the first time, and they're capturing this world so perfectly well. And I love the children actors they have.
  • The depiction of sex and degradation of women is something a few people have commented on. I guess what I'd say in defense of it is that Martin was trying to present women as they would have been treated in the 15th century; largely they were sex objects/baby carriers. Though I guess I'd say that when I read the section in…
  • I'm quite happy with it so far. Definitely inaccessible to people who haven't been following the show since Matt Smith's arrival, but I feel like this episode is a bit darker and he's channeling a lot of Seven in this story. I'm interested to see where this goes.
  • Well, you may have recited it verbatem, but I recited it verbatim. Cause that's the cool thing to do. But yes, I have to say that the ending of that episode was brilliant. It was the PERFECT place to end it. They also got the optimal amount of fucked up shit in that episode... rape? Check. Incest? Check. Child killing?…
  • Do not be ashamed... those books are huge megalithic bricks. Besides, it's fun to know people who haven't read the books but are watching the show. So, what did you think? Do you mind giving a short review? Do you understand everything?
  • Apparently right after the patch, this was an issue, but it was re-patched pretty quickly. I'm doing just fine.
  • Okay! It's finally here! Post reactions! If you haven't seen the show yet, what are you waiting for! It's dark fantasy TV drama! You will enjoy it!
  • I found SkinEdit. Good lord, there goes even more of my free time. EDIT: Made one. What fun.
  • Ooh, that's fun. I've already de-virginized a few pages.
  • Well, the mods that I use for my laptop are Optimine and CAF-Mod... those help me with my FPS, if that's an issue for you. As for texture packs, I like Misa's 64x64 pack.
