  1. No one is forcing anyone to buy it, yet everyone seems compelled to comment as if they were. I say it's about damn time we got a new input device, christ, keyboards and mice are like fifty years old. I just hope my spatial awareness is fast enough to keep up with 19 frickin buttons plus double tracking and touch. I'll take on the challenge of playing Project Eternity from deep within a recliner.
  2. In the first episode of Sleepy Hollow, inside the police station, one of the metal clangy doors had exactly the same sound effect as the red metal doors in the pirate outposts in Far Cry 3. I heard the sound and I was like, where's my weapon ...
  3. Those slides have some very entertaining syntax ... as though translated from an internal DICE Swedish company presentation. Mantle sounds more like proof-of-concept marketing, but I'm cool with that, and so is my Radeon. It gets old rooting for the underdog, so yeah, give me something more tangible to feel good about my choice of CPU and GPU.
  4. Just $10, up from $8, over the next three years.
  5. I loved the scene between Ward and Skye, where ... Can't wait to see some backstory for Melinda May.
  6. Thank you! Finally! Stupid "smart" devices that aren't. I don't want a smart TV, or a smart blu-ray player. There is no such thing as successfully "recommending" shows. I don't want to talk to a stupid remote. I already have four devices capable of Netflix that I don't even use because it lags like a mad hag. To hell with facebook on my TV, christ. Whew, I feel a little better, thanks.
  7. That's it, kick the ball, Rivers, so that no Titan will spear your honktard dufus midriff like the scaredy-cat pocket-squatting ADHD audible muffer you are. #draintherivers
  8. Oh my god I LOVE IT The new Q ... I haven't even seen one on the road down here in car capital.
  9. Must be mine, too. I get a lot of ocean scenes, even when I lived up in the mountain desert. And spiders. Sometimes an ocean of spiders.
  10. Men can jiggle, sometimes - it just isn't pretty and it sure isn't sexy. I believe the correct term is 'undulate'. Women jiggle, men ripple.
  11. When they say second quarter, it's not the fiscal year they're talking about, right ... Q2 means April-June, yeah? I'm sticking with my Tuesday, July 8, 2014 prediction, anyway. Chris sounds pretty upbeat in that article ... not to mention that he didn't flatly deny the possibility P:E could eventually be a PS4 title. YES! Maybe!!
  12. John Noble is coming to Sleepy Hollow, I read today. A recurring power role, evidently. Not sure what that means, but I loved him in LOTR and Fringe. My hopes for this show in general are secretly skyrocketing.
  13. Yikes, that article shines a light on the cutthroat business of publishing. I have a whole new level of respect for Obsidian, as well as a stronger dislike for the entitlement crowd. My fervent hope is that Obsidian was able to take North Carolina and revive it with a different publisher. All that work for an original IP, plus the grief of layoffs, should not be in vain. If it's true that MS cancelled that next-gen game, I would love to see it released exclusively on the PS4 and PC. If it's a license, a Star Wars license, please let it be Knights III.
  14. Josh's other pics ... D&D Sharknado.
  15. Oh yeah, wow, I just finished it ... it is nothing like The Walking Dead. Z was fun, but not nearly as bang-on scary real as Georgia's walking dead. Nice to see Foxy in basically a cameo appearance ... Matthew Fox as a "parajumper" with only one line--unless I missed him earlier in the show. It's funny because I'm also finishing Season 2 of LOST at the moment.
  16. Uh, well, because the device had to be manually set to detonate at the point of origin. Matter/anti-matter can't just be beamed willy nilly. No, I don't know, but I do know CG animation is so beautiful these days, it forgives a lot of story miscues. I mean the Enterprise just looks gorgeous, and heavy. Depth-of-field animation blows my mind. Those long shots of future San Francisco ... my god. Gonna watch WWZ now, see how it compares to TWD.
  17. Cool, good to know there is a depth of talent and passion. So is it a culture shock coming down to Orange County ...
  18. What smugfunt told you that? Smugfunt ... funtwit ... how great is this word as a prefix and suffix.
  19. Oh my god Sleepy Hollow! Outstanding. Amaze balls cast, some really cool camera shots, and funny. Best thing is it's not over the top. Revolutionary War history as a backdrop to 2013 with a strong female lead and a sci-fi/fantasy/scarethecrapoutofme theme. Big thumbs up, and I only heard about this show yesterday.
  20. I would have been forced to point it out if you hadn't. No harm, no foul anyway. I'm sure the photo doesn't match the story, which was likely made up. It's not brainwashing, it's rank and respect and propriety. Damn funny joke, no matter what.
  21. I was expecting 60-70 points on the board in Seattle, but no. And all the announcers admitted they thought Philadelphia would put up 70 against the Chargers today, but no, thank the ghost of Dan Fouts. Who is still alive. Damn Dan Dierdorf couldn't hide his preference for the Eagles, not at all like Phil Simms calling the Manning Bowl and somehow keeping it impartial, even with his old team on-field. Next week the Titans will fall to the Chargers.
  22. Oh, woops, I see that San Diego has lost the last six road games versus NFC opponents, and they're about to play in Philly, who hasn't won at home for a year. I'm sure SD will also break the consecutive streak of the last four opponents at Philadelphia's season home opener going on to win the Super Bowl. *sigh*
  23. I understand LED lights are low-power, low-heat, and can be quite small and multicolored. X-mas light strings in particular.
  24. It's fun to go back through and read the backer rewards. A Project Eternity digital fun pack! I forgot! And an obsidian Obsidian T-shirt. And a boxed copy of the game. Yes!
  25. Would you dare to share the art, please. A delicious cheese sauce could have infinite uses. Absolutely and you a right a good cheese sauce can be very versatile and can enhance most meals. You will have to experiment a little to get the right consistency that suits you. I generally use a good mature Cheddar and I sometimes mix in a Swiss Cheese like Gruyere. You can use any Cheese that suitably melts but you obviously can't use Cheese like Halloumi as it won't melt. Make sure all the Cheese you will use is grated The recipe is based on the standard white sauce recipe and once you have made it a few times it will become easy Heat a small pot on medium heat Use 1 Tablespoon of Butter and let Butter melt but don't burn it Add 1 Tablespoon of flour to pot Whisk the flour and butter for about 2-3 minutes. You want to allow the flour to be properly integrated into the butter Start pouring in milk slowly and whisking. Don't pour all the milk in one go, pour and whisk.,,,pour and whisk You'll notice the sauce almost immediately starts thickening as the milk is added. This is fine. Just add the mild slowly until the sauce is not liquid but slightly thick Then start adding the Cheese in batches and whisk The sauce should thicken nicely I add Mustard Powder, Paprika and White Pepper to flavour but you can add any spice that suits you what you got there is pretty much the classic welsh rarebit cheese mix... save that dark beer is used instead o' whiskey. add dollop o' dijon mustard and worcestershire. we would also recommend cream or half & half 'stead of milk... if you got it. HA! Good Fun! Wait, I don't think whiskey is the same thing as whisking. Although I do have a fantastic dark ale that was brewed with pecans, wheat and rye, with one quarter aged in bourbon barrels. I love the idea of using half & half, too, even though I already drink gallons of whole milk all the time. I love dairy, which is why I'm curious about a versatile cheese sauce, thank you for sharing.
