... apparently exposed a mess of people to the band who never got to experience the joy and mayhem of a Halloween performance by the band, I thought I'd drop a few more links from the same show:
Just Another Day - One of my favorites, one of the last real synth anthems of the 80s... but it doesn't feel like one and still motivates

... and if you are new to the band, yes, that is Jack Skellington's voice and a prolific composer of all things American culture singing lead.

Has anyone ever had this happen before? What are my odds of walmart fixing this?
The shitty thing is I dont think they have a cart pusher, everytime Ive gone to this location during the day the cart holders are jammed packed, and then at night someone is working on it!
How would you end it?
Don't try to predict the ending, tell me what you would do if it was up to you to end the show.

It's a bit disappointing. The gameplay mechanics seem fine (what they show you, anyway), but there was a severe lack of, well, evil. You could kill the handful of peasants you encounter, and at one point you're basically ordered to destroy a farm (by the rightful owner, mind), but at one point you're actually discouraged from killing peasants. So they'll do things for your out of gratitude.
Gratitude! What kind of Evil Overlord rules through gratitude?! A proper Overlord should rule through fear, violence, and magical power! I agree that killing all your peasants isn't the best plan, but looking for gratitude from them? The only thing they should feel gratitude for is that they still have their miserable lives!
Maybe effective proper evil opens up later in the game. I hope so. If not, it's going to be a pretty sad "evil" game.
Gratitude. Pfah!

Last beta before the real thing. :)
Besides bugfixes etc., the main difference in beta 4 is support for Coherence Unity mode. YouTube video about that here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIApJMzGzDQ
I've also stashed a high-res version of that here (do not share outside of the Shack):
http://www.neogeographica.com/temp/UnityBest.mov
I'm really tickled with Unity, I think the Fusion guys knocked themselves out getting the guest windows to behave exactly like independent OS X windows as much as possible. (One quirk still: if you have a multi-head Mac system, the guest windows have to be all on the same monitor.)
Shill powers, deactivate.

The Lawrence Shackmeet (of Doom) is going to start up in about 20mins. We'll start at Free State Brewery then move down the line to Louise's Downtown, Henry on 8th's, and maybe a couple other joints downtown. If you wanna come along look for a 5-10 dude wearing dark green shorts and a blue "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" shirt with dark hair and a goatee. That's me!
For those not attending in the KC/Lawrence/Topeka/Dallas area, fuck ya 'all!

I am a paladin that wants to be a tank! So far it is going pretty good with my little 5 man group of friends, we've cleared a bunch of instances without problems, although there were a few times our arms warrior would tank a boss so that I could provide backup heals.
And if anyone is wondering why I went into holy instead of retribution for the +5% parry, it is because I still wanted to be able to offheal . Plus we occasionally PVP and being a near unkillable healbot is pretty awesome.

think about it. you accidentally delete a picture and there is no fucking way you can recover it.
sure there are various software programs on the market that have a 12,53624À% chance of recoverin a picture on about 2 % of the digital media (all statistics have been made up on the spot like 99,89726347632 of any statistic you will see on the net and in any michael moore movie)
but in most cases you are fucked.
of course this sucks for a normal person, but hey its great news for you if you are a snuff porno producer with the cops at your doorstep.
I've been playing some Fires of Heaven this week, which is really coming along nicely, but something about it just doesn't seem right... I think it's the super-flat tech tree, really kills my sense of advancement throughout the game... it's more of a gigantic research to-do list than a tree.
Soooooo... anyone like any of the other modpacks out there? Recommend one or two that are actually quality stuff?

So i said hello, he turned and recognised me but then pretended he didn't, and finally "caught" on when i told him who I was. I asked him how he was, what he was up to. Turns out he's a manager at a Domino's and does security shift work at nights. I smiled.
He's still friends with all of the other cocksuckers I went to school with, and whilst some of them are doing OK things their still working in areas where i'd imagined they'd end up.
I left and felt really fucking good. It was a nice feeling knowing that all of the times they'd give me shit and i'd tell myself that they'd end up being losers, it all came true.
+1 for all geeks worldwide!

electronic battle weapon 9, electronic battle weapon 7, rize up, nude night, the golden path, and get yourself high (all b-sides, vinyl-only, or bonus tracks released within the last few years) are better than every track on their two latest official albums.
i don't hate their latest two albums, but they certainly haven't lived up to my expectations.
anyone that disagrees with me is wrong and stupid.

"I'm not aware of any cut in production. We have our forecast for the year for PS3 of ten million and that still stands," said Sharples.
Um... WHAT?
Nintendo had sold 2.5 million Wii consoles since its release, with Sony managing to sell 1.3 million PlayStation 3 systems in roughly the same period.
Im sorry. That doesn't make any fucking sense to me. They actually think that they are going to sell 10 million units within the next year? I think hes trying to give himself a handjob.
