It could be the end of the Monkey Island franchise, that's pretty horrible at least. Actually I'm guessing Disney will be more willing to license out a property like that than Lucasarts was.

You guys have really weird opinions of Law & Order. Thankfully for me they don't reflect the views of the general public, as it was an immensely popular series that went 20 seasons and has spawned extremely popular spin-offs. Criminal Intent is my favorite, and SVU is a close second, although it can be hard to watch. I'm enjoying The Wire tremendously, but I fail to see how it is insulting to compare it to one of the longest running crime dramas ever created.

Well, there're tree rings too : http://wattsupwithth...s-in-ther-data/ The problem with claiming scientific consensus is that academics are overwhelmingly leftist, and thus can't be trusted on issues touching public policy. They have a huge confirmation bias. Plus I remember the Y2K panic and the alarmism over Kuwait oil fires, and I'm still waiting for Krezack's giant solar flare to destroy civilization. It's more concerning that there is a real lack of academics on the right. Academics by definition are highly educated, so it should concern the right that few academics support rightwing policies.

DA2 is a very average game. The reviews back that up. It has decent graphics, music, voicework, etc. I didn't enjoy it all, but that doesn't mean I put it in the same class as a broken or poorly produced game. I think arguing it is a poor RPG is a more successful track. It smacks me as closer to an action game than many that wear the RPG genre moniker. That being said, Diablo 3 is called an RPG too.

Bummer! I remember as a teenager I fractured my big toe. The first doctor I went to didn't even see it on the x-ray. We went to our family physician the next day and he found it. It was super painful to walk on for the first couple days, but it did heal fairly quickly. Good luck.

I believe regardless of global warming, we should be doing everything we can to lessen our negative impact on the environment. I am realistic to the fact that you can't force everyone out of business to do so though. You need to balance progress and profit with preservation.

Here is one of the almighty Thor.

I'm pretty sure John Carter was a massive financial failure.

The Wire is like an episode of Law & Order on steroids. Throw in some New Jack City for good measure. edit: I've always considered Jon Stewart more moderate than anything else.

I understand the whole fanboy angle, I definitely prefer episodes 4-6 to everything else that has been created, but I think some of the people in here don't realize they are not the target audience. The idea behind every new launch of Star Wars content is to bring in a new generation of fans. My kids love the Clone Wars, but I can barely get them to sit through The Empire Strikes Back. Episode 7 will be aimed at them, or even younger fans. It's smart business.

I don't know how an episode 7 could really be all that close in the timeline to 6. I doubt they would really use replacement actors for Luke, Han, and Leia, and they are too old for anything but cameos. My guess is you set it a bit further out and focus on the kids of those characters.

I'm currently on season 2 of The Wire, but I can't put it on the list comfortably until I've watched the entire thing. 1. Firefly - Probably helps that it only had one season, as it didn't go long enough to get stale. 2. The IT Crowd - Best comedy ever. I'm still heartbroken that they decided not to do a final season. At least the two main actors are popping up in a lot of new movies. 3. Lost - Watched every episode as it aired, so it must have done something right. 4. Stargate SG-1 - I started this on Netflix, and 10 seasons later I was amazed I missed it backi nt he day. 5. Community - Has some brilliant episodes. 6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Surprised this isn't on more lists, it just did so much more than I ever expected. 7. The Office - It has really fallen over the last couple years, but the first few seasons were phenomenal.

Then you probably shouldn't have posted all the other drivel.

I made a good dinner tonight. I put brussel sprouts in the oven for 30 minutes after dripping some olive oil, salt, and pepper over them. Then I boiled some carrots, the trick is to throw a little sugar and tarragon in with them, gives them a little sweetness. Don't overcook them either. Lastly I made bowtie pasta with a creamy pesto sauce (using nonfat milk.) The pasta was this new vegetable fusion type, basically they use carrots and squash when they are making them. http://www.barilla.com/aggregator/prodotto_barilla/1306 It was delicious. Anyways, I'm starting to get a bit more creative on this super low fat diet, and it's going well.

What the hell? That's being lectured? People really see what they want to see. Although it wasn't a very funny bit, I'm not sure how you see that as anything serious. Also that looked like a nice kitchen, and I doubt Joss Whedon has anywhere near the money necessary to have a full staff serving his every whim. I'm sure he has a house cleaner and maybe even a cook, but he's not exactly a mogul.

*bump* Fund this people!

I tend to avoid the organic stuff most of the time. I'm not really against it, but usually when you have a salmonella outbreak, it is the organic stuff. Plus I live next to a field so I'm pretty sure I'm already well exposed to all those pesticides anyways.

LC, I'm heading to the Public House, the bar attached to the park, to watch the game today. It should be pretty crazy, hopefully they clinch tonight so I can buy my shirts right there at the park.

My WoW account was hacked, and Blizzard kept telling me it was an issue on my end with security. I don't believe it for a second. Blizzard has security flaws and they are targeted more heavily than any other company out there.

That's why it's so fun Cant! The Giant's team is an odd bunch, and they are a ton of fun to root for. I'm also heading out to a World Series/Octoberfest party in a few. Should be a lot of fun!

As long as you can have some bacteria on bacteria romance, it will be a massive hit.

Clearly you don't remember Myspace.

Bioware lost their soul the minute they stopped focusing on medical software!

I had a weird dream where mt wife was getting married to some really old guy. I was with my ex-girlfriend at the time. I ended up telling the ex it wasn't going to work and then I sped off to break up the wedding. So yay for my subconscious Speaking of Vegas, I also registered to play in a hockey tournament out there in March. It should be fun, I didn't like Vegas either until I started playing hockey there. Walking through a casino with a bag of gear and hockey sticks is pretty fun.

Who are you talking to with this post? The only people that have brought up religion in this thread have been the people attacking it. And no one is attacking science. Well, Orogun's post might be seen that way, but he was more pointing out a humorous situation than actually questioning mathematical law.
