Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Mar 09, 2009 7:26am PDTHowdy Monday. Seems like you're here a bit earlier than normal, probably because you actually are. Silly Daylight Saving Time, the clocks move forward, but you can't fool me.
I'm afraid I didn't get much gaming in this weekend, and instead spent the bulk of my time either reading or sleeping. But I still managed to sink some more time into Peggle DS and the Prince of Persia Epilogue DLC. And no, I still haven't beat 50 Cent. Soon!

I'm looking to score some sweet honey wine and there isn't a "faire" scheduled any time soon. Any places you guys would recommend? (Also sucks that I am in AL, and most places won't ship alcohol here)

Pretty solid game. It's not stunningly good but it knows what it needs to do to entertain the player and does it well. The graphics were pretty stunning, the voice acting great and the cinematics brilliant.
The gameplay was a little repetitive. You see a puzzle, you solve it in a minute or two, run to the next room, see a bunch of cover spots, firefight breaks out, kill everyone, go to the next room with a puzzle, repeat.
Not necessarily a system seller but a really good game to have in the PS3 library.

What's a good way to counter the Warthog rush? I've been doing ok online, lost a couple, won a couple. The matches have sometimes been glorious with two scarabs incoming and me freaking the fuck out but eventually taking them down, and going on to win.
Last night I got my ass handed to me in a 3v3 though. 2 teams rushed with Warthogs and the 3rd sent his Prophet of Regret after me which put me on the defensive. I was pumping out Marines and Flamethrowers to their deaths which left me with no money. They had Grizzlies about 10 minutes later and steamrolled my 2 bases.

I currently own this cast iron skillet: https://secure.lodgemfg.com/storefront/product1_new.asp?menu=logic&idProduct=3924 in 13 1/2. I use it for pretty much everything, and it rocks. However it is really heavy and hard to hold up with one hand while I pour/scoop stuff out of it.
Anyone know a good equivalent skillet that doesn't weigh 10lbs?

I hated the UT3 demo, but I was very wrong.
The full game is fun.
Loved the book, can't wait to see the movie. I thought it was a great commentary on superheroes, their motivations, and an interesting look at humanity in general (or non-humanity, in the case of Doc M). I also enjoyed the story being told from their different perspectives: the main narrative, the artwork, and certain outside events such as the news vendor and his comic book fan. It seemed like all narrations were on parallel tracks leading to the same conclusion, and every point made was backed up perfectly using words and artwork. Very well done.
I'm moving on to Batman RIP today. Then... who knows?

I just got the Amadeus Blu-Ray and it came with a DIGITAL COPY ooh ahh.... I think "oh I'll throw this on my iPod Touch and watch it on the toilet couch!"
WRONG
It's a Windows Media™ DIGITAL COPY. What the fuck am I going to do with this?

I don't know about you, but my fuck is the Criterion rerererelease of Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express on Blu-ray pretty much the last version of it I'll ever have to buy outside of actually owning the original film stock. Criterion needs to snatch 2046 and Ashes from Sony and whatever the fuck from Kino Video and supervise the release of a definitive WKW boxset on Blu-ray. Not likely, but still. I just wish other studios would handle HD mastering/transfers of shit I love with more care than some have with half-assed, noise riddled, DNR up the asshole having Blu-ray releases is all I'm saying. Fuckers.
Oh well.
Anyone else buy multiple versions/releases of shit they love? Star Wars comes to mind as something pretty obvious. The remasters, Han shoots first version, and everything in between amirite? But what else? What other shit -- be it one movie, an album, a game, or whatever -- are you into that have warranted multiple purchases from yourself??
ITT We share something we love and how much we love the fuck out of it. Thanks in advance.

MGS4 was the most disappointing game of 2008 for me, and I'm a huge Metal Gear fan.
In reply, I guess.

My speakers have no inputs other than the male jack I plug into the green hole on my sound card. My computer has a line-in hole, but I don't know of any way to play that signal through the computer speakers outside of opening up Sound Recorder and pressing record (note, I have not tried this but it sounds like a hilarious workaround). I have Vista if that matters.
The Xbox VGA adapter has an optical out (along with a red/white pair and a 1/8" adapter), but I'm pretty sure the optical jack on my motherboard is output, not input.
The only thing I can think of is buying a female-female converter at Radio Shack and switching my speakers over every time I want to play Xbox, but that seems like such a pain.
Why is life so difficult?

made me laugh
So I've been having this issue that I originally attributed to sinus issues as I have a headache that seems to come and go and a pinching pressure on the bridge of my nose. Doc says I'm congested even though I seem to breathe fine. I do have drainage as I can feel that. I seem to get this "not quite lightheaded/dizzy" feeling off and on. I was on a Z-pack and Veramyst in January and it seemed to get better, but when I went back a week ago he gave me the same thing and this time - nuttin....
Thoughts? Do I haz a tooma?
so tonight when i was going through my big pile o' shit i saw one of those "current resident" ones and angrily opened it to glance at the contents before ripping it in half and a five dollar bill fell out.
okay, faggots, you have my attention. :(
inside was a letter from the department of transportation saying they'll be calling me in the next few days to conduct a survey. it says they know people don't like unsolicited mail and calls so they figured a fiver would make it up to me.
and god damn them, they're right. i'm going to answer every single question on that survey and do it happily because random little five dollar bills are nice. :(
