Hurlshort Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Now that I have a smartphone (The Droid) I just don't see the point in the IPad. The only thing I can really think of using it for would be a book reader, which I would rather get the Barnes and Noble one if I went that way.
vault_overseer Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) I spent the weekend being sick and watching new Doctor Who. Being sick sucks, new Doctor Who was amazing. Matt Smith is a natural. Karen Gillian is stunning and much better actress than I thought she would be. This is gonna be a hell of a season! Agree on all counts! I was bored with Doctor Who, to the point where I didn't bother watching any of the episodes from season 4. My interest has regained. Season 4 had 3 good episodes - Moffat's "Silence in the library" & "Forest of the dead" and, immediately following it, great, RTD written(gasp, i know!) episode called "Midnight" EDIT: About iPad. I really wanted to hate it, but then I got a chance to play with my boss's one and was amazed with how beautiful and responsive the screen is. Time magazine was frigging amazing, Marvel app looked fantastic, photos and videos were breathtaking. Seriously, this thing seems to be crap right until you get to hold one. I tried reading couple of pages of a book, and while the backlight was too bright for comfortable reading, there was a handy slider to adjust it. Now, I'm NOT going to buy it. Right now, that is. I want to see where it goes first. I want it lighter, with stereo sound and a camera. Which means that I'll probably have to wait for third generation or so(which is what I did with an iPhone) but at least now I see a clear use for it in my home and understand a reason to buy it.

Monte Carlo Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Hmmm, I gave up on Doctor Who after John Pertwee and David Tenant, a gurning ham of an actor, drives me nuts. The show is so damn pleased with itself.
mkreku Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Just got back from an easter weekend in Prague. The beer was not only dead cheap, it was amazing. And the girls wore tube tops. Enough said. I wish every American who drinks that piss Budweiser at least once in their life got to taste Budweiser Budwar. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Slowtrain Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I wish every American who drinks that piss Budweiser at least once in their life got to taste Budweiser Budwar. While its true that there is a lot of bad beer in the US (and people who drink it), the microbrew business is huge as well. I can walk down the street to the grocery store and have my choice of such a huge variety of US beer brewed by small companies all ovber the country that the stereotype of the American who has 0 taste in beer is now somewhat dated. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

That's easy, go to Binny's and buy them a Czechvar, that's its american name. Edited April 6, 2010 by vault_overseer
Hurlshort Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I'm not a fan of Budweiser, but they have a few other brews that they put out which I enjoy. Shocktop is pretty decent.
Nemo0071 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Today, I had a semi-official job interview at a semi-professional game dev company. Will see what happens next... Oh, also today I finally started actually posting after 3 days of being lost in old threads. Man, you guys are chatty... "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor
