Call me low class, but any toilet that needs a touchscreen remote is a little too fancy for me.
-
The comedy is in the model/actors. "Strike a pose near the toilet and look like you are having a romance." How do you even film a commercial like that without losing a part of your dignity?
-
A setup like that is just begging for a "The Aristocrats!" joke, IMO...

I was looking at this before. Somehow, I doubt anyone wants to spend all night yelling at the TV. I'm not against yelling at the TV, mind you. However, those with apartment living and kids sleeping may experience something different than blissful gameplay until 2 in the morning. And, I'm about 198 hours into the game right now. I can easily see this game taking me another 50 to 100 hours to complete. That's a lot of time spent talking.

New iPad gets Consumer Reports' top ranking. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57407985-37/new-ipad-ranked-top-tablet-by-consumer-reports/

A grill is a good investment for company and friends and your own use. It's about the heat distribution and the ability to slow cook/smoke your meat. The problem with committing to one grill is that different grills are great for different jobs. I have a gas multi-burner, but I have a hard time getting in smokey flavor, a harder time smoking, and the heat retention isn't that great. However, it's great for dogs, sausage, and burgers, which is what I do 60% of the time.

I tried a vegan Indian restaurant down in Culver City. It was featured on a cooking show. I am sure about 2 things. 1. I love meat. 2. That cooking show is full of shit.

I'm a big fan of college humor and unsurprisingly, I enjoyed that.

Tetris God is still my all time fave.

Did no one else laugh at FDS's post? Just me who thinks he was telling a joke? Was I wrong? -
And, see, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a real tablet for anything. Tablets are like PCs, but for soccer moms, bros, and used car salesmen. I do like the e-ink readers, but why spend that much cash on an e-ink reader and then buy a tablet, as well? Might as well as buy the iPad to try and show up the neighbors.

I just had to deal with Amazon on returning the original Kindle Fire I got for the Mrs. back in January. Might I say, she loves that thing. And, Amazon was super easy to deal with. The set up of the new one went well. A lot of the items we bought from Amazon, including apps and books, all reloaded or prompted for reloading without any type of recharging to my card. But, like what was said above, the memory is the only issue. But, we aren't using it for the music feature (we have iPhones for that). It's mainly for books and apps, which include some games. So, I'm not going to be concerned, since the lifespan of such tech is about 2 years, at best. So, I'd recommend this as an ereader to anyone who doesn't have the type of cash to get the iPad.

Already did so a couple of times today, Dean. Still working on it, though.

But I don't have the Google account and I'm not a twit, either. Well, sort of.

Maybe I'll start a fake twitter and make all of my comments like an inept Sith lord, like Rick Moranis's character in Spaceballs.

Yeah, I got the notification to change the way I log into Kotaku this morning must change. I don't care enough to want to do that. I stopped using my FB to login years ago for a reason: Shit sucks balls. I don't even log into my FB much anymore.

Mutant Ninja Turtles (not teenage anymore)
TheRevanchist replied to Yantelope V2's topic in Entertainment Exchange
For those old enough to remember the TMNT RPG, the Turtles (I am officially dropping the "T", the "M", and the "N") have a place in nostalgia, right next to the D&D books and the bag-'o-dice. Since Bay is trying to feed from the audience it already has, does it make sense to alienate that audience? He really doesn't care about the history of anything. Look at the films with history he's butchered: Friday the 13th The Amityville Horror Texas Chainsaw Massacre Transformers Nightmare on Elm Street In addition, he's going to add The Birds to that list (it's in the works still, way pre-production). -
Just watched three hours of Teen Mom. What the fuck was I thinking?

Ethan is right... All these shows, your sisters may be watching, you catch a glance and ponder "WHY?", but before you know it, you've seen 2 episodes already.
-
Precisely. I could have went to the other room, but I was intrigued by the constant girlfriend-yelling-at-boyfriend until the breakup happens. You see it. Want to tell the BF to run. But, you are powerless. It's like watching a vase on a counter across the room. You can't catch it in time to keep it from breaking. You can only watch the horror of the fall.

Man, after playing GTA the first time, I walked away saying things like "Fuck yeah, mother fucking bitch. We're going to go get some fucking girl scout cookies from them bitches and fucking run over some orange cones.". That was with a big smile on my face.
-
Even though Iove KoTOR, I can see Halo winning out, too. No shame in that loss. I was a bit disappointed with GTA losing, though. I really liked how it brought the open world sandbox format to console gaming.
-
Angry Birds Space is different. Not bad for the AB lover, but it's not the same experience with the new physics.

Luck? It's physics based.
-
It can be "luck based" in that the system is somewhat chaotic, so small differences in input can occasionally make large differences in outcome, but it's not luck based any more than target shooting IRL is luck based.
-
Yeah tiny tweaks to your aim can drastically change the whole outcome. Which is sometimes frustrating when trying to recreate a move; but ABSpace seems so emergent that I usually forget frustration in the ensuing fun.
Also, Abs Space.

Can I pick a song from GTA SA? The had a Public Enemy song on there.
-
Halo is already here. That's one of my noms. Other is the original chiptune for Super Mario Bros. You already know the tune, so just close your eyes and you can hear it without a link.

I am having fun playing Draw Something. I have yet to draw one penis shaped item today!

I draw penises before I actually draw what the word is, its great!

Well, how do you even classify a game as being the greatest ever? You have to have criteria, like still fun to play or the best game in it's day. I've been playing games for so damn long, I've forgotten some of my most favorite games. I spent much dollars on Galaga, Pacman, Altered Beast. I've been killed in the tens of thousands playing Contra and Mario. Paperboy was tedious, yet fun. Splinter Cell was a game changer for me, as was KoTOR. XWing vs Tie Fighter. Man, that's going to be tough to narrow down the criteria. Criteria!
