Needs more fighter jets. I didn't even see that F-35 until three minutes into staring at awesome.

Isn't this the crux of that upcoming Destiny game ... a sort of persistent-world FPS story campaign, online with ... friends. Bungie touted it as a literal game-changer, but I can't imagine any thing or game making me want to leave the weirdo minority of people who don't like online players, or people in general.

Waiting for the internet is like waiting for Godot. Better to go make a sandwich, or even better, a chocolate/peanut butter pop tart.

Delayed for Austria and Germany, due to "unconstitutional" symbols, but they didn't say anything about the rest of Europe. Maybe it's a sympathy delay, where if one country is delayed, everyone is.

I can't see the distinction. Does that mean there could be flirtative dialogue, just with absolutely no consummation ... god, high school all over again.

Right, exactly ... classic gender pronoun misdirection.

Ah, okay, good. With the upcoming Thor-themed characters, I'm assuming it wouldn't make sense to introduce an "unknown" race at the same time, with the Kree. I just keep thinking of how Loki was a frost giant in apparently "human" form, and since Skye didn't suffer the same unbearable torment from the injection as Coulsen, she must be partially inhuman. Now watch, the Clairvoyant will be Skye's horrific, mortal mother.

When I was growing up, before internet forums, I always heard it pronounced asstrick.

1. What're you talking about? What would you be using a magnifying glass for? 2. Are you kidding? Buy a whole new one when you can just fix yours for pennies in comparison to the total cost of a new one? Why? Is that a challenge? Because if it is, I have a much-unloved Vaio sitting in a powered-down Windows Vista heap of shame that needs quadruple the RAM and a new battery ... Obsolete is obsolete, I say.

No way ... Bruce is Gandalf cracking the stone of daylight upon the kettle trolls calling the pot black. Fly! You fools!

What is that, eight hours of work with a magnifying glass? Please just buy a whole new one. That Swedish guy posted a great deal on a fantastic gaming machine.

Oh, holy crap, that means SKYE IS KREE/FROST GIANT, TOO!!! WUT Well whatever, next week we get two goddess-like chicks kicking each other's asses. Win.

I'm just glad South Park is getting rave reviews ... hopefully Obsidian will avoid the whole game-release/staff-layoff nightmare.

Man, you know how to chow. I wanted to post what I'm drinking in the Drinking place, but I was the last one to post there, like, two weeks ago, so what I'm having right now is a middling "white ale" from local brewery Saint Archer. " ... brewed with high quality pilsner and wheat malts, generously spiced with coriander and fresh orange peel. Belgian yeast provides the refreshingly tart, spicy, and fruity flavor." Yep, it's as bland as described. Not bad, more like soda, really, and nothing at all like that Stone grapefruit slam IPA Hurl recommended.

I'm lost now. So there was an old power supply that didn't fan-on at start-up, but also a case fan that wasn't installed but didn't fan-on either ... plus a CPU fan/heatsink not fanning or sinking? And an enclosure that's not hooked up to anything, but then a new PSU that makes noise ... whatever the problem is, I'm gonna need another beer to re-read this thread.

G.H.? In the tube, what was it? A giant? Some kind of Asgardian? Who is Lauralie? How do you spell her name? Why are SHIELD Agents so terrible at close-quarters urban infiltration combat? I have so many questions.

Your missing a timing belt and a flywheel :D /s And bad oxygen sensors. A freeze-plug may have burst, so no compression, either. All the smoke, however, is from burning off all the Snark brand motor oil.

Holy **** what a good deal. I had no idea you could get an SLI laptop. Sixteen thousand megabytes of RAM, should do the trick.

Are any of those the giant Australian megafauna I remember from geology class. That's a great idea, if so.

Who cares about anything. Scarlett Johansson is pregnant. Now there is no beauty, or art, or romance, or anything worthwhile left in the world. Video game romance is as stupid as a crush on a movie star--no matter how perfect we would have been, together. Oh, ScarJo, why ...

According to reports, Sif will be on Agents of SHIELD a week from tomorrow!

Ibuprofen really helps my rippling, angry muscle groups. Finally heard back from Xbox Support. All I wanted was a Pepsi. But when I tried to redeem a $15 Xbox Live card, sent by my Mom--who still thinks it's 2010 and wouldn't know what a PS4 or Radeon 7850 is anyway--it crashed into an error code and failed to credit the account, exactly like that broken Pole Position arcade game used to eat my quarter. A very nice lady then chatted with me on XBL Support and said she would need to put in an Advocacy Request. That was a week ago, and just today without warning, they emailed a new code. I really thought they had forgotten about it, but, no. They probably had a few Xbox One owners needing extra special, lengthy attention. So I downloaded Driver: San Francisco--which is apparently all about a ghost in the machine.

Nice save.

I'm sorry, but this can't remain unaddressed. To assign any probability that legal weapons will be confiscated in the U.S. is an insult to our KIA. There is no conspiracy of confiscation, nor will there ever be. Show some responsibility and respect for the gift of empowered self-defense and treat it like the privilege those who died to preserve it, is.

Not so much funny, as horrific. There exists a place in Great Britain ... London ... a tearoom designed for patrons who enjoy the company of cats. A cat cafe. It's a real place, with real cats and real people lined up outside, to drink tea with cats. My dark paladin from PoE has refused to comment on the repugnant immorality of such godless feline worship. http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/03/this-is-londons-first-cat-cafe-lady-dinahs-cat-emporium/
