Evening Reading

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
But the extended scenes and the restored order of scenes really add quite a bit to the story
The scene where the elephant rears with the horse and they are both impaled by spear and arrow. Much more interesting. And then Stone uses the color filter. As opposed to the theatrical release. So much better from a mood perspective but still kinda flamboyant.
Did the theatrical release use all this classical and Vangelis music, I don't recall it, but it WORKS incredibly.
The reveal at the end with his mother...it makes it so much more interesting then before. Stone made a superior film ruined in the distribution.

On the one hand, I love Whitest Kids U'Know. On the other hand, those reviews...are pretty terrible.

King's Bounty is a kind of game I've been looking for a long time for a developer to make. It feels like a combination of Diablo 2 with Heroes of Might and Magic. Because it's turn-based and can be played entirely with the mouse, it's well suited to casually playing in the background while doing other things. Unlike Might and Magic, it has no base building and focuses on your character exploring the land and going on quests. You choose the type of units in your army, whether you want cheap and plentiful or specialized and expensive.
I recommend trying the demo: http://fileshack.com/file.x/12938/King's+Bounty:+The+Legend+Demo
or
http://files.filefront.com/KingsBounty+TheLegend+Demoexe/;11798476;/fileinfo.html . One tip if you get to the 3rd tutorial quest where you have to find treasure in a cave - move to the shimmering areas and click the tiny shovel icon next to the minimap. I was unsure what to do here until getting further instructions from the tutorial teacher.
In reply are links to purchase the game and instructions for playing in windowed mode.

Help me out, I need to setup a good diet. Need to lose about 30-50lbs. I have an exercise regime down, I just need a figure out what to eat. I honestly have no idea how to approach this. Low carb? Just count calories?
I was going to stick with those Lean Cuisine as my main meals for the day, two a day with a light breakfast. Bad idea? It should keep my calorie intake under 1,500 a day.

as in you don't shell them, you just pop the whole thing in and chew it
the shell is all salty and gets chewed down into a nice fibrous paste that meshes with the fatty peanuts to form a wonderful snack in your cheek

Apparently he's Canada only. This is kinda weird:
Frederik Percy de Groot (born May 23, 1946 in Bilthoven) is a Dutch actor. In the Netherlands he appeared in the detective series Bureau Kruislaan and its spin-off Unit 13.
He is best known, however, in Canada where he has been the television spokesman for ING Direct since 1997. The marketing campaign was developed by GWP Brand Engineering. They picked an actor with a foreign accent so that customers would not be surprised to learn the bank was also foreign. De Groot also speaks French, and is unusual among Canadian spokespeople for also appearing in the company's French Canadian language spots.

I have a fairly new 16gb flash drive made by A-Data. It works great under windows and osx, but no flavour of linux I've tried will recognise it.
Is there any way to force linux somehow to recognise it / mount it?

Was anyone else really, really upset by Dr. Manhattan's monologue on Mars? I think Billy Crudup's voice was perfect for the role. The dissociation coupled with resignation was a lot to listen to. The organ music in the background made things pretty sad as well.
I saw the movie, and got the comic 2 days later. The comic's monologue is not only longer and better, but a lot more upsetting. Here's a man who can do anything, change anything, and knows nearly everything. His life was shaped by forces outside of his control. His power counts for nothing. He has nothing.
Also lol blue dongs. People need to fixate on something else.

I am enjoying this jpg, which is actually an animated gif, but labeled as jpg.
It could be considered vaguely NWS if the company you work for is prudish.

I just came across this website while looking for some camera lenses and it pretty much owns for Canadians who are looking at buying lenses from the US.
You can look up the lens that you want and it gives you a big list of where you can buy the lens, the US price and then the Canadian price (+taxes and and shipping) depending on the province you live in so you can see how much money you are saving. No duty charged for photography equipment either.
Even with the horrible exchange rate, prices are still substantially cheaper in the US. The lens I want is $100 less in the US.

The mighty Stallone continues to pull together one of the badassier casts ever assembled for a film.
Whedonverse alum Charisma Carpenter has recently joined THE EXPENDABLES, along with WWE's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - per THIS reference in Variety.
Chrisma and Steve join already cast Stallone, Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Jet Li, Forest Whitaker, Mickey Rourke, and more.
This is going to be awesome.
