      I guess when you have four years of failure you have to try and seem like a likable guy. Didn't really work for Carter, though.

      @Bat: I like how you make it sound like this likability is some newfound thing he's put on in the face of desperation, when it's in reality been much of what's made him so popular from the get go.

      Yeah, is this the same thing where you claim "wasn't born with a spoon in my mouth" became a catchphrase to dig at Romney even though he's been using it forever?

  3. Who needs sleep when you can participate in exciting things like figuring out whether the Adobe subscription service is cheaper or more expensive than buying the suite whole hog?

      Who needs sleep?

      Well you're never gonna get it.

      Who needs sleep?

      Tell me, what's that for?

      Who needs sleep?

      Be happy with what you're gettin'

      There's a guy's been awake since the Second World War.

  4. This. People make a big deal about "choice" and "morality" in games, but really, The Witcher 2 is the only game to get it right. Your actions have consequences, but it's never the "save orphanage or light a box of puppies on fire" polarity. What happens is what happens, and it's up to the player to decide whether they chose poorly or correctly.
  5. I am out of a phone for three weeks. Fun times ahead!

      Do you have any pals with an old phone you can activate on your account? I know a lot of people who put their old phones in a drawer after they get a new one.

      I have three old phones just put away in the back of a cupboard. Though only one is somewhat usable by modern standards. (Tocco lite)

      Well, the good news is my parents found one from their drawers, and will be sending it to me. Takes my phoneless time from a few weeks to a few days, and then it'll be time for my upgrade when I go back home.

  6. http://cdn.flamehaus.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf Valve's company handbook, 2012 edition. Awesome stuff right here.

      Further reinforcing the idea that Valve is the coolest company ever.

      Read through some of that earlier. Really brilliant. Such a fresh, innovative company.

      I'd work there just for the free Stumptown coffee.

  7. I wonder if any other country turns such petty mole hills into political mountains. Neither side has satisfactory answers for the real issues, so they focus on ridiculous shit like "CookieGate" and "dog eater".
  8. Cabin in the Woods was a fun movie, but I don't get why everyone talked up the twists as "mind-blowing". Maybe I've seen too many horror films, but I felt like I was always one step ahead of the movie.

      P4: Gritty Reboot

      The horror genre is so stale that anything remotely good is going to get a lot of attention... Going to try to see it tonight.

      It's well worth it P4, but don't go watch it for the horror. Go watch it as a more meta Scream

    4. SomTervo

      SomTervo

      What P4 said. I heard it's only 'mind-blowing' if you're a fan of the horror genre, one who knows it in and out, because it subverts so many tropes.

  9. Why hasn't Romney fired Ted Nugent out of a cannon yet?
  10. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP is on Steam now. Only $6. BUYBUYBUY

      Also note, Jim Guthrie is a great singer/songwriter. Check out his album "Now More Than Ever". Use to play it all the time when I hosted an indie/folk college radio show (true).

  11. We had a tornado last night. There's supposed to be another, much bigger one, tonight. There are plenty of reasons I want to get out of Oklahoma, but in terms of shit I'm actually scared of, the tornadoes take the cake. Nature is garbage.
  12. They're not teenage, they're not mutant, and since they're aliens, they certainly aren't turtles. Presenting Michael Bay's latest film... NINJA!

      Nice. I just read about libraries complaining they had to pay 2-3x as much as consumers for each book, and before that, about Apple's 30% commission. Might've gotten away with it if they weren't so brash.

      I don't think I'll ever buy an eBook. I don't even like buying digital downloads of games.

  13. Oh yeah, Ann Coulter is particularly mad. She's so mad that even Fox News tries to not bring her on as often as they used to. When your typical appearance includes such winning quotes as "Our blacks are better than their blacks", you essentially turn into PR's worst nightmare. I wonder if she even has a PR agent. I think she and Bill O' Riley (I actually respect Bill O' Riley a bit, to be honest. He may be bull-headed and arrogant, but he'll often stand up for important things even when the rest of the channel stands against him) are constantly at each other's throats whenever they're within 50 feet.

  15. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan This is the first Kickstarter game that I've been interested in supporting. Just look at how awesome it is!\

      Holy shit that must've been the best boner killer in the history of boners

      Write an article about it.

  17. http://motherboard.vice.com/2012/4/9/the-white-house-wants-to-imprison-the-cia-agent-who-blew-the-whistle-on-torture?utm_source=mbtwitter Fuck everything about this.
  18. Republique is going to be a Kickstarter project soon. It'll probably be the first one I donate to.
  19. Konami's done much worse. They fucked up SH HD, they essentially kill all their games by not marketing them, and by putting them up against heavy-hitters, their conferences are the worst shit ever, and their DLC is much, MUCH worse than any of the other companies, save for maybe Zynga and Squeenix.
  20. The PS3 just got Amazon Instant Video! Fuck yes, now my Prime videos are available on my console! I'll use this to watch Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train".

      I think you meant "middle of nowhere"

      No, I live in the middle of nowhere, but we get Amazon service.

      Amazon already exists in the US, UK, Japan and France and even Canada. ;)
