Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, May 01, 2009 6:30am PDTWhoa, it's actually Friday? About time, gosh darn it. Nick's been teasing me with "don't worry, it's almost Friday" since Tuesday, which is a mean thing to say on a Tuesday.
I'm not quite sure what my weekend will entail, but there's a fair chance it'll involve copious amounts of relaxation, comic books, napping, and Left 4 Dead. You?

Such films are assemblies of events. There is little dialogue, except for the snarling of threats, vows and laments, and the recitation of essential plot points. Nothing here about human nature. No personalities beyond those hauled in via typecasting. No lessons to learn. No joy to be experienced. Just mayhem, noise and pretty pictures.

Dont fucking matter how little health/stamina he's got left... 1 stupid fucking punch will knock you out, even if you're green on health and stamina, im talking about your bar is 1/2 to 3/4ths full, and his is like maybe less than 1/4.
fuck you chuck. At least i sub'd your dumb blockhead ass with a nice north/south choke. Fuck you for doing nothing but BS flash KO's when i dominated your pathetic over rated ass over and over again.

Yeah, I'm a few days behind but just caught the most recent ep. I really hope they don't kill faraday. He is probably my favorite character on the show. I don't think he's going to die, though, because it doesn't make sense to me why his mother would condition him his whole life just so she could shoot him. He has to serve some other purpose. I still feel like he is going to get reuinted with Charlotte too, even though she is supposedly dead.

The Glass Ledge at the Sears Tower in Chicago.
These are the new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city - 103 stories, or 1,353 feet below.
Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June.
PASS!

What a horrible, horrible game. Not that its bad quality, but its completely not my idea of fun- creepy as fuck. Not only are you on this marooned russian ghost ship, but its populated by horrible things with railway spikes coming out of their eyes. Top this off with realistically inaccurate weapons, freezing to death and weird Alma style flashbacks.
My worst mistake was probably peering into the last memories of this slain cattle- in first person mode i trotted into an abattoir and then got my head chopped off by a guillotine.
Definately not my idea of fun at all!

This isn't a required feature. But I'd like to be able to do this so that I can code in my living room, where my wife's PC is, instead of having to retreat to the bedroom where my desktop lives.

Time to scratch that off my list of games to complete!
After a long journey I finally finished the main quest. According to the game timer I played this game for over 112 hours. It's was a good game to me, obviously, but I uninstalled it and I never want to play it ever again.
I was given Guild Wars in my White Elephant last Christmas, does that have a single player game? How is that? I might play that next....
You have my ear citizen.... -_-

I'll make this as short as possible. Hulu playback is jerky, as if it were a 30fps source playing at 24fps. Regular, consistent judders. Does it on 360 (wired), HR-21 (wired), and XBMC/Xbox (wireless). Local content plays fine, even when forcing transcoding. I've been through all the network settings, profiles, config.xml, etc.
Ideas? Wait, let me rephrase that. Has anyone had the same issue and fixed it? I'm fairly certain I've been through everything that Google, common sense, and their forums have to offer.
