  1. Demon Souls is on my list to try before BioShock Infinite comes out. The problem is that I don't get enough time to play. So, a game might take me 2 months that would take someone else a week. So, my backlog becomes bigger every year. So, I'm probably going to hit this one up during summer.
  2. First, in-laws arrive, three of them. Now, my wife's cousin and her family might come, as well. I AM RUNNING OUT OF BEDS! I WANT MY BATHROOM BACK! AGGGHH!!!

      Same here, Mighty E. But, with my wife's family, the drama will unfold and I will need a better place to hide than my regular half an hour bathroom spot. I might have to take the cars for oil changes. And clean the gutters outside. And clean the garage. I've never had a mani-pedi, but I hear some girls say something about it. Then, get my haircut. Check into a hotel. Come back the next day after everyone has gone.

  3. I'm not a big beer fan, as I only buy it for guests and to put out fires on the grill. But I would say that brands and style do make a difference in taste. Not to say my tastes completely eliminate beer from consumption. Guinness is one such beer that I can stand when used properly. You see, there is a drink, an Irish car bomb, which goes down smooth and has a great flavor. I have only had it on an occasion, but the drink was good in flavor all the way through, despite how you drink it doesn't allow it much time in the mouth. So, even if you don't like beer, an Irish car bomb is the drink to try. And I'm not one for the taste of alcohol. Note: Much apologies for any social insensitivities the name of the drink contains. If the drink has a more socially acceptable name, please let me know and I will start to use that name instead.
  4. Alex, welcome! Good to see you here!

      To clarify, I am an accountant who is going into fiscal year end. And I won't actually party. I'll be volunteering at a fundraiser dinner. But, that Onion article is one of my favorites.

       

      Anyway.

       

      Nevermind.

      You ruined your own joke.

      Haven't watched it in years now though. Just a review here and there through their podcast.

      With Strange, he was the only person that could make G4 watchable. When they gave him his soapbox, he gained a lot more respect since he wasn't simply the "X-Play Goofball."

      True. No need to kill off hundreds of thousands of cattle. So, there is one thing positive.

       

      S. Korea just put a ban on US Beef, so we will see which countries follow.

      I like how reactionary people are. Putting a ban on beef because of a single case of mad cow in a cow that wasn't ever going to be made into beef anyway...

      I'm sure north korea will follow suit in a short while.

       

      I'd say given the history bans are a fairly reasonable reaction.

  12. Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith books were all free books. Luckily I read them all, because now they put them together in a compilation and are charging $8 for them. After reading them all, it might be worth 4 or 5 dollars, at best.

      I've been dying to get my hands on Knight Errant. So, I think that will be my next book.

      Well thanks for the recommend. Gonna blow through the LTOS ebooks now

  13. My kid loves Kinect Adventures. I need something comparable for the Wii (he is not touching my 360). Suggestions?

      At the age of 5, EVERYTHING! I can't begin to tell you where I find the DS and Wii games in the house. The second they start touching my consoles, I will need to start buying 2 of everything, just to ensure one survives for me to finish the game.

       

      I had to call the cable company last week, because I left the room for one minute to use the bathroom and he decided to order "Hop" on PPV.

      He woke up early on a Saturday a month or so ago(like 6 in the morning) and bought Angry Birds Space on the Kindle Fire.

       

      I need to start putting passwords on everything.

      When I have kids I fully intend to have my consoles and their consoles be entirely separate devices.

      So I was riding my bike all day going to morning Farmer's, go see Cal Poly's growing compost project, watch Ponies and have lunch while you were enjoying the day with your family in the town. All during PERFECT weather.

      And don't forget the girls in bikinis everywhere. Everywhere!

       

      So, you had a good day, too, I take it?

      Eeyup. Went out later in the night for a meteor shower. Its all good.

  14. That is why I keep telling my wife she's Asian. When she goes to make pelnmeni, I'll tell her we need ginger, scallions, some garlic, at which point she yells, "THIS IS NOT A WONTON!". It's quite fun to yank her chain like that.
  15. I voted for Calvin Johnson for the cover. I need Cam healthy for my fantasy team next season.

      Me? Not interesting? Who told you!

       

      Chewie, just to confirm, you are Hype-rbole, correct, sir, just to make sure my trash talk is ready for seaon 3.

  16. I found the below on Slickdeals. I don't know if it works, but I'm sure someone might give it a shot in the UK: Diablo III pre-order Amazon UK ~$45.09 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0030DH9R6 Shows the product for £27.91. During checkout the price drops to £23.26 + £4.95. Total of £28.21. Currently 28.21 British pounds sterling = 45.0909 US dollars.
  17. Steve crosses sites as a mod. He's not dedicated, so he's stretched pretty thinly. He approved me on Gawker earlier today, but may ban me on Kotaku later tonight for promoting this site as an alternative to the big box gaming sites.
  18. Still can't decide which side to join in the Skyrim civil war. I've read too many opinions and none have helped me decide.

      You know, like the Fable series, it doesn't really matter what choice you make. Someone is going to think you're a dick.

      I chose the Stormcloaks because the Empire just tried to execute me, so fuck them.

      A lot of folks thought along that same line. Maybe not the best impression for Skyrim to offer when deciding between the two factions.

  19. Speakup and the Open Thread posts are going away under the new system. I am sad to see that happen, as that was those are the best places to comment and gab with others.
  20. P4, I remember your arrival, and it was great! I hadn't seen anyone earn a star that quickly, and that star was earned, as you had a lot of good comments and gaming insight. After Denton's memo about the viewership all being "sheep", the redesign and it's many flaws, and the letting go of the mods (who were good guys, Alex Hayter being my favorite), no one was awake at the helm. Trollpatrol was not being watched, though people would report some pretty foul things. Really, they had to hand out stars to get their readership back up a little.
  21. We had hail just the other day. Then again last night. Today, I went to the building with the vending machine. After grabbing a spicy vending machine burrito, because they fucking rock, I had to wait until the hail was pea sized before I attempted to get back. Once I got back to the main office, the hail grew in size and the roof had a great, eerie sound, like a bunch of servers with their fans blowing at full speed. I don't freak out about weather and have always loved the rain, but this is getting a bit too nasty for my tastes. And I like spicy vending machine burritos.
