Well said.

Probably thinking for SK. Still, counter artillery is a goddamned fool's game. It makes sense for navies simply because your state is pretty binary (floating or not) but for cities and military fortifications you just end up spreading the damage around for the most part. Besides, that shit...

I wouldn't go as far as great. It is a decent game with a bit of missed potential. Pretty good overall but it wasn't really worth the full price on the console back when. For ~$10-20 on PC? Sure.

There are a few other issues here as well, although less talked about. Many content providers and media types (and economists and others) in general really want the general public to stay watching television. TV allows for double-dipping essentially where they get paid by you for the service...

It'll be interesting to see where this goes from here too. I toss $160/month at my local ISP/Cable company and that doesn't even get me the top-tier stuff. This starts to feel annoying when I just don't watch much television and what I do watch is still pirated most of the time. If it wasn't...

I don't really know what price I would pay for television and movie content. First they'd have to come up with a delivery system that didn't suck and could provide same-day/live content seamlessly. At present though the only delivery option I have is On Demand through my cable company and the...

Less war, more scientific advancements, better health, longer lifespans, happier populations, lower crime rates, more equality, resurgence of literature/art/culture/music, expansion of the domain of the human race, sustainable existence... one could go on forever! Progress is things getting...

Eh, good on Notch I guess. He'd best be careful though, funding games you *like* is a dangerous habit. Damned if I am not looking forward to the game still!

I love my games and certainly don't care if the console is in the $3-500 range but I still won't buy until I see a killer app to go with it. PS3 was a nicely functional bluray player at launch and remains a handy streaming box that occasionally has an exclusive game. I've honestly played only...

I'm still a damned Canadian! My politics are a mix of social liberalism with fiscal conservatism and a healthy dose of leave_me_the_fuck_alone_ism. As expected, no party seems to really capture my allegiance.

You hang out on some strange websites Tummy. The hard truth is that you can't make your kids safe. Sorry about that but it just is not possible. You can make them a bit safer by working to make your society a better place (or by insulating them from that society) but no matter what you do...

I'm still relatively early on in the overall game (time constraints and all that) but damned if I don't love this one. It is quirky, definitely Japanese and has a certain tone that some may not like but still, best title I've played in years. I hope they make more in the same style.

Silly question perhaps but although I am many things, fluent in Excel is not one of them. I'm having to support a number of Excel spreadsheets lately, all for in-house use where they have them. They (annoyingly) are used by a variety of positions, are given inputs directly and are legacy to...

Wow, did not expect the game to go like this. I didn't count ravens out exactly but didn't think their defense would play nearly this well. Might be a fun sbowl but yeah, the next couple of weeks are going to get annoying.

Also, I think you are allowed to dress and talk like that if you are over 50 and have been working in film your whole life. It isn't hipster if you lived it.

Not sure really. I jumped on the Bills' bandwagon back in 1980 but god knows I should have got the fuck off when I had the chance. Now I'm just bitter and, well, mostly bitter I guess really. I derive joy in football from watching the Dolphins fuck it up and sheer pleasure from the...

I thought you were crazy (thinking it was shorter than that even) but what the hell, I've got my old copy on the dusty bookshelf so I thought I'd check. 278 pages (of big font, small pages with some illustrations) for the 1966 paperback version. Huh, it seemed even shorter than that as a kid...

Sure. I don't really think it matters though, the fundies are not exactly difficult to trick.

Wow. One thing I think Salty might be missing though is just how small/incestuous the web business community actually is. He's poisoned his career options more than he might expect if he ever intends to work at a large company at least. But whatever, I'm sure he'll be fine. He might get a...
