It better not!!!

Chrome is currently set to overtake IE, and as far as individual versions go Chrome 16 is already the most used browser in the world. I read something the other day about MS now pushing through IE updates regardless. If you have Windows Automatic Updates turned on it'll update IE for you. Seems they're really taking a solid stance on that. I know MS already hates IE6 and its continued existence, but seems they want to hate IE7-9 too.

Bit.Trip Runner did it. Got annoying enough right away so I thought fuck it. It wasn't so much the act of throwing you back to the start that was annoying, but the fact the start was so damn slow. It was like the platformer equivalent of putting a repeating cutscene right before the boss fight.

Booo!! Silly Quicktime site. I like to keep my computer crapware free thankyouverymuch.

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/content/96478-Hello-World-on-PlayStation-Vita So exploits that worked on PSP games can be reproduced on the Vita. Doesn't mean too much at the moment, given the PSP side of things is emulated. But could lead to one thing or another over time.

http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/12/20/mozilla-and-google-sign-new-agreement-for-default-search-in-firefox/ So as an update to that whole "firefox with bing, maybe google won't be doing it this time around" stuff. Yeah it's still gonna be Google.

Makes me somewhat glad I skipped the whole Xbox naffness.

No that was some random dude on Reddit. I got the 25% off Valve games.

Just to rub in the coal thing

I'm still happy with Tropico 3 (thanksverymuch), you'll have to say what, if any, differences there are.

Oh shit, you've not seen Children of Earth? Watch dat shit. It's only 5 episodes long, you'll be done in a jiffy.

I'm waiting purely because FFXIII dropped in price so fast. It's not really a game I "need" to play ASAP.

Even the "Coral Theme" TARDIS was new (as the 5th Doctor noted in Time Crash) You can tell over time that they got bigger and bigger sets. The Matt Smith Doctor has this whole River Song thing going on too. That "Silence in the Library" two-parter (with the vashta narda, flesh eating shadows things) was done by Steven Moffat and he was really laying down the foundations for taking over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdYS8EXxP28 Just thought I'd share some Bill Bailey. I don't think he's well known, or known at all, in the states. He's a bit different. He combines stand-up with music. If you have a spare hour here's his part educational, part musical, part stand-up show he did a while back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdO3u6ORlGM called "Bill Baileys Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x_fJp6oJuc Terrible choice of music. Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmH7p3OsyZM My sister has apparently never seen an Underworld movie.

Shaner suggested this one, mainly for coupons over the Xmas sale, but I'm sure there's other stuff. For example to get started: I have Audiosurf and Elf Bowling in my inventory if anyone wishes to trade for much.

Oh I was taking from the hate on Brazilians (which as a euro I don't get at all. I find most Europeans respectful, and if the chat log goes "de" "Fr" "en" then everyone talks English.) But from the fact you "got it" right away I assume Russians are pretty bad then? As fro the Ars piece, maybe I missed something but I don't think it was a review. Also he did say this is his first MMO, which for many the same will be true.

HAHAHAH. I had the same exact sentiment. Given that you thought it sucked when Eccleston left, then Tennant blew him out of the water, you'll have much the same reaction this time around. Though it is a tad jarring cos pretty much everything is new. 9 onto 10 still had the same TARDIS, same companion, same writing team. 10 onto 11 is new lead writer, new TARDIS, new doctor, new companions. Matt Smith is worth it just for The Doctors Wife.

huahuehuahuahueh? rurururururu?

This shouldn't be going down now that it's all up officially.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/12/forever-alone-stars-wars-the-old-republic-as-a-single-player-game.ars Ars has a post about playing TOR as if it's a single player game. Kinda misses the point of an MMO I guess, but if you're up for paying a monthly fee for a SP game then fill your boots (I guess it gets easier if your employer is paying for you)
