Mormons
Like Scientology really but with a few hundred more years to lend patina and credence to it.

The funny things thread
Judges are elected right, not promoted by merit and professional reputation. It's just showbizz, he's grandstanding Texas style.

What are you playing now? Part 3'ish
They originally had the melee maneuvers for free with no energy use required. But during game testing they found it basically made every tester slide into stealth route and auto-melee kill/ko the enemy. So to encourage the development of discovering creative routes they jury-rigged the energy use for melee. Or something along those lines... I though it was just that making every mele a cutscene required no extra coding, and having them available for no energy cost would would have left the whole thing too easy.

Guild Wars 2
The point is not to enjoy the story or the gameplay but to assemble a complete 100.000 platinum armor you can only buy after completing a two hour coop mission.

The Dumb States of America
Well that, and you will have to have asked them all the same questions, and they would have to be a representative sample of Americans below the povery line.

You are going to have to have talked to at least a thousand for it to be statistically relevant.

It's a common misconception that Americans believe their poor are better off than elsewhere, so my American studies professor used to say anyway.

Money is entirely imaginary. Mobs with pitchforks aren't. Even the Ceasars knew enough to make sure all the citizens of voting age were bought off.

They would get it if not for the rich paying next to no taxes.

Hard Drive Issues
Yeah, death throes. I had one come back to life recently though. It had been taking very long to spin up and one day it just gave up the ghost. Then a week later it returned, I had more or less forgotten it was there, still churning along slow as ever, but allowing me to salvage what I wanted from it. Some temp files/ program casche created by photoshop and something else probably hastended its demise. Don't bother with a disk check, before you have recovered what you want. There are only so many reads left, it might not make it.

The new Bourne thing. Few surprises there. Feels like bourne #2. Treking around Thailand or the Philipines with his (not yet) girlfriend being tracked by assassins. They did this already. The action editing is annoying on more than one occasion. You can't have it all shaky cam all the time, that's not immersion, it's a headace.

I should hope not. Wikipedia is where you find out which books to get.

A shame really. Like books it's something a single person or maybe two or three people can do on their own, leaving less room for the 'vision' if you will, to be diluted by others. Too many cooks spoil the food, the best result is often one guy (or gal) with an idea who is not willing to compromise.

What you did today
Friend of mine just had a lump in his head scanned, turns out it's a benign tumor. Don't know if it's operable or not, but at least he dodged the first bullet.

Books we've been reading V2.0
Mads Mikkelsen as Mance Rayder, but then it turned out to be an internet rumor. It would be awesome though. He doesn't even have to say anything to pull off Mance Rayder, he could just stand there... brooding.
