    The Jedi were wrong

    That is not exactly what I meant but even so it seems the Force is far more complicated anyway. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Force. There seem to have been enough views of the force that worked at different times to indicate that no one way of using the force was the "correct" way...

    The Jedi were wrong

    Hmm isn't one of teachings of the Jedi that they understand so very little of the force? And that makes it entirely possible that there aren't light and dark sides of the force?

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I was a fan of 1404 so I went ahead and bought this. Will let you know in a day or so after I have put some time in. If you or anyone does get the game you can add "Soft_Kitty_Corp" to your contacts and PM me.

    Dresden Files

    I always thought it was because Merlin was the spawn of Satan intended to open away for him to come into our world but he decided to use his powers for good instead.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Anyone have tips on getting fried chicken as close to KFC (or better if you think so) without needing a massively expensive pressure fryer?

    Christmas gift ideas?

    I sent everyone in my extended family a 50$ gift card to Cheesecake factory on my side of the family. If I knew of any specialty items that they wanted or that were reasonable I sent those along also. (Mom and Grandma like getting yearly photo albums of the grandkids all nice and labeled, Sister...

    Would you want to know?

    I am going to choose a different example then yours since I don't feel apathy in any of them. What if you woke up one day and knew you were in the Matrix? But instead of being plugged in as a battery what if you had the total awareness that everything you are is just lines of code? Assume...

    RIP Senator Dan Inouye - the ultimate badass

    The next video game character I am playing in game where the hero is about to do shit that is unbelievably impossible is when I name him Dan Inouye.

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    Taltos of course and much props to the BBC. I would especially like the episode where he is comparing everything to the stages of a fine meal. Although the one where this scene happens is like Dumas if he had wrote a fantasy book with an assassin crime lord main character. From The Phoenix...

    Gun control

    I feel like I should post this before any post I ever make on gun control. We already, every last one of us, already agreed to limits on the right to bear arms. So we are really just negotiating where those limits begin and where they end. We nearly all agree that socio-economic factors are a...

    Murders and Shootings

    While this is probably another socio-economic problem, arming teachers certainly isn't the fucking answer. I am not saying take away all guns but we can still have a measured argument on banning certain types of guns. Now maybe we still won't agree on what guns to ban but we can all agree...

    Have you cheated?

    I have not cheated since I have been married but before marriage I had absolutely no rules or limits. I've cheated, been cheated on, been in open relationships, and friends with benefits. I've had a women fall in love with me then while I was at work tell the apartment manager she was my wife...

    Parents rape son

    Blink If you will excuse me I am just going to go rub a scrub brush across my brain and poor bleach in my eyeballs in an effort to remove what I just read.

    Guild Wars 2

    There are a lot of games I have played in my lifetime where I would happily take my money back if I could. This just isn't one of them.

    Parent Thread

    The TL;DR of my post is to put your child into advanced classes if you can and if you can't then hire a tutor who teaches a subject 3-4 grade levels above where she is at. Make sure it is a no-nonsense tutor who knows their shit because many of them will be all cuddly with your kid which is not...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I saw this and my hind brain kicked in and had already finished purchasing it before my fore brain and finished considering if it I should. And I already own Titan's Quest. If I had been thinking I would have gave the key away instead of using it and wasting it. Although anyone could get it with...

    Do you have health insurance?

    Hmm I need to look into private plans. A private plan for me and my family through Cobra (wife and 2 daughters under 3/yr old and me) was over $2,000 a month.

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    This. I played all of the Quakes and Goldeneye and I liked both. Hell we had LAN parties where if someone didn't also bring an N64 with Goldeneye then someone would have to go leave and get it. I've got a friend here who says there is a bar downtown where the owner still has an N64 with...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    Anyone who sets up a private index and agrees to index audiobooks and movies binaries (dvd quality and better) I will happily contribute an automatic 5$/mo paypal for as long as it is up. (TV show binaries would also be awesome if possible but sickbeard internal might get all those) I am...

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    Goldeneye was/is still awesome. But I am amazed they didn't include Black&White and/or Spore.

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    Kinda this but I am still curious as to why aliens would bother with such an elaborate setup to convince humans to hunt down... modified and un-modified humans?
