  1. Got 16000 DKK back from the tax man today. Life is good.
  2. Is he at least consistent, as in 11/9 was one too ? He was too out there even for Fox News, that ought to tell you something. The jury is still out on whether he believes any of this himself or if it is just part of the Glen Beck Show, the one that is automatically in session whenever he opens his mouth. I mean what else can he do. He can't go back to teaching, no one will have him.
  3. I considered watching news coverage but then remembered that the media are being idiots about this. The social media angle is encouraged and misinformation doesn't matter, as long as you are the first to report it. I miss the days when you had to have two confirmed sources to report something. Nowadays 'this or that person tweeted' willl do.
  4. Buu huu insert favorite tiny violin image.
  5. I don't get it. What's the downside for STEAM in selling any and all of these games. They already have tons of old, well I wouldn't say crap, available. If you count the free section quality surely can't be a deciding factor in whether or not something is available through STEAM. Is the STEAM seal of approval supposed to make us buy them, is it some kind of tactic to garner more comunity buzz for said games. How does this work ? Lots of interesting stuff on the waiting list though.
  6. Part of the schtick is that the more angry the Hulk gets the stronger he gets. There appears to be no upper limit. I love these X is totally more powerful than Y Marvel conversations.
  7. What about I raise you Galactus. I mean he travels around the universe consuming worlds.
  8. Russel Crowe is superdad. Anway the usual problem presents itself. Superman is simply lame. A superhero called 'super man' with a giant 'S' on his chest. If he didn't have seniority it would be undeniable.
  9. She could always get her own reality show.
  10. He used very small pellets for shrapnel which is why there are so many wounded and so few fatalities. Of course one can't know if this was a deliberate strategy. They were also very small devices and possibly just not capable of killing anyone not in the immediate vicinity.

  12. This will be the first Al Qaeda act in the US since 11/9 (that is how you write dates properly I don't care) if that is the case. As usual they depend on the press to provide the drama. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise as they don't need to kill very many people for this to make headlines the next few days. In fact it would be problematic if all the pagentry and imagery of ambulances and police investigations died down quickly as that might promt another attack.
  13. To be fair he doesn't do much other than to stand around and brood. Those spaghetti westerns where he is cigar smoking poncho guy are awesome on account of Sergio Leone first and The Clint second.
  14. Not a bad suggestion. Are city councilmen paid or do they just get a diet.
  15. I love graphics but not at the expense of improving other areas of game design. It does seem like games have gotten prettier rather than better for as long as anyone can remember, and to the detriment of the industry as a whole.
  16. You should be a shipbuilder, or a chimneysweep. Weren't you some type of consultant or project based hire before. Drum up some business I guess.
  17. The Borgias are back. I don't know why this has managed to fly under most people's radar (most that I know) It's basically The Godfater with rapiers and fancy dresses and Jeremy Irons is awesome in it.
  18. That was my line dammit.
  19. I hope the plan isn't to turn anyone into a silent film slapstick retard, beause that already happened to Lord Blackadder.
  20. I thought the conspiracy was against those of the tall inclination. I mean, it costs more fabric to garb a man who stands 190. The same would be true for shoes and the textile industry is largely located were people aren't very tall. I have a sowing kit, but learning to use a machine might actually be a worthwhile endeavor. I just think it would take too long to get really good at it, good enough to sow your own suit. Ghandi did it, but honestly he isn't really known for his quality .. whatever those things were called.
  21. Wow, you're like so edgy and cool!! I wanna be like you!1! No, wait, I don't. Let me guess: you don't use Facebook either and have no problems telling everyone how you don't use Facebook and you can't understand why people would use it. Smartphones is where the biggest advances in technology for the common man are happening right now. Problem with facebook is that they have gotten too big and have their tentacles in everything. Even people who hate facebook are forced to use it. I welcome the facebook is not cool anymore trend, it will surely hasten its demise so we can have something else instead... Which then grows too large and invasive. Remember back when a chat window was the cool way to keep up with your friends. They made versions that integrated all the different protocols and programs. We need something like that for social media. So it's a third party program that integrates all your social media sites into one interface. That way we are not forced to sit up and take notice everytime facebook lets out a fart.
  22. Any armor that presents obvious regions of concavity (and therefore vulnerability, as these regions act as a funnel to blows and are easier to penetrate) is quite unrealistic. I imagine boobplate would delflect blows either to the side or in between, where it could be reinforced. Sloped armor, like the T 34 if you will.
  23. I never knew she was still alive. Before a couple of days ago that is. Don't have anything positive to say about her politics, but she did start the painful but necessary job of breaking the hegemony of the trade unions. Without any sense of the way the wind was blowing, but then if she had had any PR finesse she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
  24. Set a timetable. No coffe after 20:00. Other than that no need to torture yourself by going cold turkey.
  25. Officially my favorite Prosper quote.
