What are you playing now
Is it true the switch to integrated is to conserve power when the laptop is running on battery? I read a question/answer about the 8750M/4000 software switch and it said to plug in the laptop's AC power cord while playing games and the discreet card will work correctly.

I literally saw a Yugo on the 78 freeway last Thursday. Tailgaiting a blue 5-series with its four-inch wheels at maximum rotational speed. Three humans inside.

What you did today
Oh, god, jesus, the winds are here already. Two high-pressure systems are battling a stormy low-pressure spinning the opposite direction, and the entire conflagration is grinding hot wind and zero humidity from the Great Basin right into my window. Record-high mid-nineties at the coast, this week, all week, low-100s in the inland valleys. Air conditioning is ... not available, and I have to work outside with my Mexican friends. Well, more like acquaintances. If I don't come back, tell the Austrian I hope he finds an armed girlfriend, and the South African, a pleasantly bi-sexual feminist. Speaking of cats, where did Lady C disappear to ...

Disney buys Lucasfilm
20th Century Fox owns distribution for Ep. IV in perpetuity, which means forever, as was expounded upon at length in the Ars article above. Empire and Jedi rights will go to Disney in 2020. George Lucas has nothing to do with it anymore. The only way we get a blu-ray theatrical release is if Disney pays Fox to do it, or Fox does it themselves.

Paul Kirsch will write the Collectors Book for Eternity
They don't owe us a central feed, but even the illusion of one would go a long way. A successful macro is already available ... the official Playstation Blog updates daily, as does the personal twitter-feed of their worldwide-studios president: reliable updates delivered to one location often, from a personable guy who happens to be the ultimate authority. It's quite nice to hear from the actual horse's mouth, rather than a herd of gophers. I wonder what you call a group of rodents, anyway. Probably not 'herd'. Probably, 'forum'.

This was both encouraging and depressing, but very informative. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/05/could-disney-finally-give-us-the-remastered-unedited-star-wars-we-want/- What you having for dinner tonight?
There isn't enough spicy wasabi root paste in the world to make me eat octopus brain. However, everything else on that plate is prime time.- The Funny Things Thread.
There is nothing funny about bipedal bald eagles. And in case you correctly noted it is incorrect to wear our flag, the manufacturer says:- Late backer reward question.
If the in-game item is anything but boob-chain, I will gift mine away, too.- What are you playing now
God, well I tried to get Bound by Flame at retail, but it was nowhere, at two places. So I came home and read two more reviews and felt some relief for not buying it. I have a feeling the game will be free for PS Plus members at some point anyway, so, I'll wait. Back now to waiting for The Last of Us: Remastered in summer, which I learned today will use high-resolution character models found previously only in cut-scenes for PS3.- What's on the idiot box... Part 2
Okay ... okay, okay. I'll dry up my Almost Human cancellation tears with a hanky (panky) shaped like Hayley Atwell. Agent Carter TV series confirmed!- NFL 2014 Offseason

Does we have a problem. Reminds me of the time I tried emulating Gertrude Stein, briefly mid-sentence, in a paper describing my personal reaction to her work. It sucked, and I regretted it, but the lesson was never appropriate a hallmark. Not that that's happening here, I'm just telling a story because I am hungry and there is no there there in the microwave. Yet.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Well I'm definitely playing this, even though the player character is voiced by Brynjolf from Skyrim. 17,651 times down in the Thieves Guild, did I hear "Not now lad, I've got important things to dew." At least the actor leveled out his accent for this Bound by Flame deal. First 15 minutes of BbF on PS4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GdUbl0YbSA- Dragon Age: Inquistion
Emotionally-spared, you mean.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I have it pre-ordered from GMG Was only 27 bucks EDIT: FUSWJT-B1DU64-JBV8UY 20% off code for GMG that I used. Hopefully it still works That's a good price. It shows fifty bones on PSN and only 34 on Steam, but, available now PS4, PC not till Friday. Would like to play this. Edit. Oh, Steam says only 14 more hours- Disney buys Lucasfilm
Hmm, that is a cogent bit of illustration. And now that you mention it, I see it everywhere in character stories. It explains why, for example, despite my enjoyment, Sam Flynn in TRON Legacy was a viewpoint character that also drove the plot right off a cliff.- Sales Projections
ManifestedISO replied to PillarsofEternity's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I really do think sales outside the US will dwarf the numbers here. The distributor is based in Sweden, evidently, and if this forum is anything to go by, Obsidian could be banking on millions of affable foreigners, even Albanians.- "But it was made for us."
You guys that know a lot, about important stuff, are the blue kree people from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe ... and do they look sort of monstrous. Enough to steal away their lost child who grew up to be a pretty good-looking female agent of SHIELD who doesn't know who her parents are, nor her own heritage, but is actually more of a TV plot device in advance of this summer's Guardians movie ...- Sales Projections
ManifestedISO replied to PillarsofEternity's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)No worries, I personally know six-hundred thousand Germans alone, waiting to buy PoE, day one. Whole families, together, eating bratwurst, drinking beer, playing Pillars of Eternity. And for every one European buyer, there are two in Eastern Europe, sharing vodka and kielbasa. This game will be a success on the coattails of good writing, alcohol, and tasty sausages.- Disney buys Lucasfilm
I was about to joke that I should introduce you to one of my exes. Then I noticed that you actually live relatively near her. Ironically this has convinced me that I shouldn't. Well then, I would request your ex be that of Keeley Hawes, and for her to live in nearby Los Angeles, and for me to become her errant whipping boy. How near is relatively, anyway, out of curiosity.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
No mention yet of how many dollars Activision will have spent on Bungie's Destiny? Reuters is reporting a total of $500 million. For a game. - Disney buys Lucasfilm
