  1. You're not even arguing against Yante, he never said socialism was the reason for the Great Recession. In fact, he said nearly the opposite (that the government didn't step in when it should have).
  2. Hugh Laurie nails his American accent in House. Lee Adama did pretty well too. I always thought he spoke a little strangely, like how sometimes individual people just talk funny, but I never would have pegged him as non-American. I might have guessed Canadian, but that's a big might.
  3. I'm actually more excited for Blops 2 than I have been for any Treyarch CoD game since 3, or any CoD game at all since MW2. But yeah, I'm not terribly interested in this game either.
  4. At least it's 8-10 instead of the 4-5 that's become the norm.
  5. While the quality of the art is higher than a lot of games, I've got to say that it's way too busy for me.
  6. Lay is transitive, lie is intransitive.
  7. Shorts are definitely his forte. I'm interested to see how they do with longer stuff, but I wouldn't say I'm optimistic.
  8. Not only is it a complete fabrication, it's also offensive. It would be like calling the first anti-segregationist president the "first black president". Tell me the NAACP wouldn't take issue with that.
  9. Why do British people when speaking leave the r off the end of words like "premier" but then add r's to the end of words like "idea"?
  10. Has there ever been a console shooter that was playable without aim assist?
  11. idk, like I said I've just seen it in videos. I downloaded the demo but never got around to actually playing it.
  12. My first thought was that something made electricity quit working (which explains why even older, non-computer-controlled cars would quit, but guns would continue to work), but then our nervous systems should have quit working too.
  13. Nintendo's even secretive with the people who will be making games for their systems? That doesn't seem like a good model. Though it might help explain all the shovelware...
  14. Transplants. The warlords are big on urban beautification.
  15. From watching videos the running animation is just god awful, to the extent that it's somewhat immersion-breaking every time the character starts running.
  16. Presumably there's more to it than just a self-powered USB drive.
  17. The earth bending matches were set up more like pro-wrestling though, whereas pro-bending (despite the similar name) is supposed to be an actual competitive team sport, like football. Also, do heels really have fans?
  18. Interesting, but I have two problems with their methods: 1) It's unfair to say the President has "broken" a promise when it requires congressional action, he attempted to get them to do it, and they refused. 2) It's unfair to compare the promises of the GOP as a whole to the promises of a single person (the President). The GOP is a group of people and they can't control what each other does. They're not a singular entity that makes singular decisions. It reminds me of when Politifact said John Stewart was lying ("Pants on fire") when he used information from a History Channel special. The source of the information was clear in the broadcast (they played a small clip) and it's not an unreasonable source to rely on.
  19. You have to go to settings to shut down? WTF?
  20. glyde.com tells you conditions, and I've had good luck buying games through it. Never bought DVD's though.
  21. I've started using my old laptop as an htpc, so I wanted a keyboard with a touchpad mouse that I could use from the couch.
  22. Maybe it wasn't in the script, RDJ just did it randomly, and Galaga was the game he happened to yell out. *Edit* - I don't have any reason to believe that's the case though, just hypothesizing. But I agree that Galaga seemed like a weird choice.
  23. The graphics are a weird combination of great and bad to me. I think it's that the way light reflects off of surfaces (especially skin and rocks) is spot-on, which makes it look great, but then the animations are clunky (especially running) which makes it look not-great.
