  1. In one of the comics he just walks on the bottom. Healing factor magic.
  2. Some elements combined conspire to send everything over the top.
  3. Skeletons locked in a lover's embrace with some sob story entered into their computer.... sure, if only there weren't one in every shack.
  4. I remember a movie called a perfect mind where Russel Crowe demonstrated a mathematical theory of mutual attraction by picking up a girl in a bar. Of course he was playing a delusional character, in a movie, and the details escape me.
  5. My vote on that goes to Kris Kristoffersen. I found it rather interesting that the hot bow girl would go vampire hunting while blasting techno on her Ipod, you would think Vampire hunting would require all the senses, but no.
  6. It is strange, and I am annoyed. However the price is decided at an annual general assembly. I can't sell to the highest bidder, but am dependent on whatever the mood is that year.
  7. The tax benefit is not so large, because most of it is determined by the state as you said. I think it's more along the lines of people getting ready to move on to houses or bigger apartments and having the chance to sell their own apartments off to family at a low price, seeing how it's so impossible to find anything at a reasonable price in Copenhagen.
  8. The co-op consists of all the people living in this house and the one next to it, it sets the buy in price. If I had owned the actual apartment as opposed to 1/50 of the two houses I could set my own price.
  9. My apartment cost 12.000 $ ages ago when I first got it, it's listed as 100.000 $ now, and that listing is determined by the co-op I belong to. We each get votes, but so far the others are more comfortable paying less taxes. Real market value would be over 250.000. That's pretty annoying because it's a serious incentive not to sell when you know you are going to lose half the actual worth. I wish I owned the thing fair and square, but then of course it wouldn't have been so cheap to begin with.
  10. 56 m2 is a typical two room apartment where I'm from. I think mine is a little over 60. I've got two rooms and a small kitchen and bathroom.
  11. M^2 probably. Seeing as we don't measure anything in silly antiquated units like feet.
  12. It's that annoying guy from Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place who for some reason is getting action roles now, he was in one of the Blade movies as well swinging around Katanas.
  13. It got me to thinking about comic book timing though. In a comic you have characters saying lines while they are shooting guns and swashbuckling around. You can't just ignore the fact that that doesn't work in a movie.
  14. Easily one of the worst films I've ever been subjected to. Its sad when the most entertaining part of the film is listening to the lady behind you in the theater whispering to her companions "Does this make any sense to you? This **** doesn't make any sense to me. What the hell is this even about?" The actors had no idea what to do with the material. Knowing it already didn't help me much. The stories aren't fantastic, it's all in the execution and that certain charm that is never carried to the big screen. Maybe it made sense in the 1940s, who knows.

    Dollhouse

    It just got good. About time they started advancing the Alpha storyline. The Doll missions on their own are just boring filler. By the way wasn't that the pilot from Firefly.
  16. DRM factors into my buying games in that I will not impulse buy anything with limited installs and required internet access. I'll buy it anyway if the game is good enough though. My experience with STEAM has been pretty decent. I guess I'm more likely to get something protected by STEAM than other schemes. I can't say that I'm that interested in anything on the NWN2 engine anymore. It's out too late, and they have only themselves to blame.
  17. First pig flu, then the Israelis complained, then Mexican flu and understandably the Mexicans were nonplussed. Who is Colbert and when is he going to sue.
  18. Beware the terrible vengeance of vegetation.
  19. just walking around with dogmeat became quite perilous since radscorpions always come in twos and he would get killed by the second one while holding the first one off in a matter of seconds unless you paused the game by talking to him and fixed him up (really silly feature that betrays a lot of balancing problems)
  20. No one uses that crap to learn pronunciation, it's completely pointless except if you are writing about language academically or some such.
  21. A very attractive woman I have seen around here and there, although I don't even know her last name, works in a green grocer, and I have been buying disproportionately large amounts of lettuce. I can't really gauge if I'm making progress. I mean I think I'm pretty likable and funny, but being a man I'm completely unable to tell her level of interest.
