They really should have let somebody know beforehand before leaving **** around, and they could have put the ads on private property where this stuff wouldn't be an issue, especially not on landmarks. I'm less annoyed by Boston's concern as I am annoyed at Adult Swim's use of lame "street advertising" bull****. I don't care how hip leaving lite brites around town makes you. Get a ****ing billboard.

They're blowing up Boston, you know. The nonsensical, inane hipsters are rising up to crush their fascist bourgeoisie parents! Death to allowances! No more grounding! Freedom for expensive black hairstyles! Long live Panic! At the Disco!

My Wii has been collecting dust for the last month and a half. hehehe

Ron Gilbert has jumped the shark. You know all the real Monkey Island fans are going to go about slaughtering this guild.

You mean this one? fwoompf - Acoustic Challenge - Straight Out Of Compton "ML Shootout 2: Get Your Gun Part Three" (2007) Oh and btw new Andrew Bird leaked and it's great. No, it's done by the singer from Veruca Salt Got the leak, too. I know this Canadian guy that gets me all this stuff.

I... think so. What's the default setting? Man, some of these buttons are loud.

Goddamnit, I haven't uploaded anything in weeks. Autechre - Nil Andrew Bird - Dark Matter I was going to find my copy of the folk "Straight Outta Compton" version, but it's on my other computer. Bollocks.

Just a bit in need o' clarification: Do you have to approve friends via email, ala forum registration confirmations, or do you do it here, on the board? I got an email about somebody wanting to be my friend, trashed it (probably something I shouldn't have done) and then came here to approve / deny / whatever. But there was nothing here about friends. Maybe they just cancelled.

I will eventually.

Anything new and exciting on the mod / hakpack front?

It's going to take awhile to make sense of all these bells & whistles. You can totally download a thread now.

I'm digging it. Looks like there's an unitilized blog feature as well. But it seems that the transition has caused every thread on the forum to be "new" again. Minor thing, I know, but slightly irritating. Now all we need is an Alien forum hop to it!

I'm going with the Colts on this one.

We played handball in high school Phys Ed. It was actually the only sport that was anywhere near fun to play. Uh, goooo Iceland!

IIRC, the physics had less to do with Source than they had to do with Havok. I was wondering how, even rushed, Bloodlines' physics could be so pale in contrast to HL2, when they shared the same engine.

Actually, one of the reasons it's taking so long is that they keep switching out the tech for new, better ****. DNF is probably now on an engine at least as polished as Doom 3's, which is to say, okay but not next-gen by any means. Who knows, they could trot out an engine that's actually impressive. I remember seeing the old screenies that showed a graphical sophistication not beyond the original Half-Life. They were shown around the time of the "FPS war" that came after the release of Quake 2, the one that Half-Life ended up winning. IIRC, DNF was supposed to compete with the original SiN (heh) Unreal and Half-Life during that time. Never happened. Its place in development hell aside, the fact that they've switched out engines so often obviously doesn't bode well for the game itself. It would seem to indicate that visual quality is high enough on their list of priorities that they would scrap the game and start over when a certain level of sophistication isn't attained, and that's never good. Is the game such a ****ty play that they require a "hey, that looks cool" to justify the game's development?

That's all well and good, but it doesn't cover orphans, or anyone without a person who would have a legitimate right to decide anything for them. A disabled orphan might live in a group home where he / she wouldn't have a primary caregiver, and all he / she'd be to all involved would be a body in a bed. That's when public policy would dictate what should be done.

I think he's just afraid to make a straight topic about the war in Iraq. All the interchangeable threads he's made have been thinly veiled questions about it. This one is about the insurgency, I guess.

I think Jorian had it right. Unless you're talking about Toy Story, in which case, I don't know what you're on about.

I cannot be arsed to take this seriously enough to make sense of it right now. The new insomina treatment is hitting me hard. But I'll softball this, and assume the question is whether or not self-defense is a legitimate rationale for violence. Yeah. Duh, of course it is. The only people I'm aware of who would say no are serious hardc0re Benthamites. **** those guys.

The running title is Duke Nukem: Chinese Democracy.

This would be exciting if it wasn't completely unexciting.
