1Morning folks. So why do lawyers blame silly things like Grand Theft Auto in court? Because it's their job. Also, if you were waiting for Rush's Moving Pictures album on Rock Band, you may have to wait a bit. And Will Wright? Loves the Sporn.

How the fuck, do I get this to go away? I looked in the system settings and there's nothing. I can't do it by right clicking it either. Help me make it stop.

Last night I was watching the extra features OnDemand. I started with the roundtable discussion (Evan and 6 of the marines) and a few minutes in they are talking about how they would make jokes even in serious situations. One of them mentioned that Eddie Wright, who got his hands blown off, made a joke right after it happened.
Holy shit, I went to high school with Eddie Wright. I posted about it when I first found it, but can't find that post now. Here's a couple stories about what happened.

I watched all the special features, they are pretty interesting. Too bad HBO doesn't have HD OnDemand, I'd probably watch the series again.

It's basically the same as the HD-1000 except it has a super slow mo mode (300fps) and can record in 1080p.
Thinking of picking one up to use in recording animation reference (super slow mo would be awesome for this) and figured i'd see if anyone has actually tried one.

I'm in the middle of porting a a portion of the code, and I have to completely rewrite two functions because they are critically dependent on an API we no longer have. One starts at line 109 and ends on line 1529. The other function is from line 1808 to line 3300.
WHY, GOD?! WHY?!

There is no clever caption, nothing intentionally funny about it, yet it's still funny as hell.

I'm putting in an order for some more games to play either with the girlfriend (2 player) or the girlfriend and her parents (4 player). Looking for some ideas, I don't trust the reviewers on boardgamegeeks.com as we're way more casual than that. We aren't interested in the games that require 4 hours to learn and 3 hours to play, well they aren't.
Games we have and how much we like them:
Carcassonne [8/10] - Good game but after about a 2 dozen plays we all still feel like we can't get a good grip on the strategy and are playing by instinct. So it lacks a bit of satisfaction when you win.
Ingenious [9/10] - Everyone enjoys the game, and the strategy is fun. The biggest problem we have is an inconsistency between how defensive everyone plays in a 4 player game, so there's a fight to sit next to the girlfriends mom for all the easy points she leaves.
Cash n Guns [7/10] - We had some good fun with this game for the first few plays, but ultimately it's a very simple game and so it lacks replay value.
Davinci's Challenge [3/10] - Sounded good but ended up being too boring.
Scrabble [N/A] - The girlfriend and her family won't play this with me because I've memorized the 2/3 letter words, so I win by a landslide.
Upwords [5/10] - I don't like this game because having someone re-use my word by changing 1 letter and getting more points feels stupid. But a word game that doesn't reward skill much is some kind of accomplishment, because the girlfriend will play it.
Othello [N/A] - I used to play this competitively (online) about 10 years ago, so there's no contest between the girlfriend and I. However we both agree that it's the kind of game we both like.
Mix Up [3/10] - Sounded good, but in practice the winner always wins because the other player made a mistake, not because they did something clever.
Blokus [6/10] - For some reason, we just haven't taken to this game like other people have. I think we're just not getting something in terms of the strategy. Maybe we need to be more patient, but we've put in a dozen plays and still feel like we're stumbling through the strategy.
Games I've got in the shopping cart:
Loot (2-8, card)
Wits and wagers (3-7, trivia/party)
Jumbulaya (2-4, word)
Pentago (2, abstract strategy)
What else should I be looking at buying?

I just realized I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for over two years, and I don't think I'm anywhere near the end. Hell, I don't really even like the game all that much. it's my "between games" game. Plus I usually only play it in the bathroom :) So I only rack up one battle or so per session.
Second for me would have to be Oblivion, I think I played it for over half a year before finally finishing it, clocked in over 300 hours, finished every quest, etc.

I just picked up a copy of the Conan action game (not the MMO) for $20, and I have to say that it's a shitload of fun. I can't believe it got such mediocre reviews. There's a huge variety of cool combat moves, and dismembering and dismboweling your enemies is incredibly satisfying. Plus, there are boobies.
Most underrated and FUN game I have bought for my 360.
Why do I always see code like:
{{{
NSMutableArray *foo = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
self.myArray = foo;
[foo release];
}}}
instead of
{{{
self.myArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}}}
? (please work code tags)
It's all over the iphone sample programs...
