Makes me sad that I sold all the systems and 80s computers I owned. Would've been cool to have my own personalretromuseum.

Jobs have changed for the better, so that's good. But personal life hasn't progressed at all in the past decade or, hell, even the decade before that. I now find myself in the early 40s and it's become abundantly clear that things just don't happen on their own. One has to make them happen.

For the past 2 years or so I've had what I thought was your typical lower back pain. It's not so much a pain as in I move a certain way and it hurts, it's just a consistent discomfort and tightness that's always there. It's not debilitating, though. I exercise routinely and it doesn't prevent...

Man I loved my TG-16. Damn shame it didn't sell particuarly well in the U.S. This game, Y's Book I & II, blew my mind (remember, this was what? 1991/92):

Nope. Been consistently moving up because I have common sense and know what the fuck I'm doing. Promotions aren't dependent on how often I get drunk at their little parties. (actually the new CEO just recently cut that shit out. No more booze).

I don't go to any company events because 1. I have nothing in common with these people besides work (and I don't want to talk about work outside of work), 2. Often it's just an excuse for them to get smashed. Bunch of hedonists. Fuck 'em.

I wonder -- for the 50th anniversary could they do a mash-up of all the major series: TOS, TNG, and new Trek. I'd love to see Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart, Frakes, Pine, and Quinto together. Maybe that would be cheeseball for some, but I think it'd be seriously cool if they could work out a great...

Hey, I loved Lily Rabe inAmerican Horror Story. Oh and, hey, I see that Aiden Mathis got a new gig.

Mint Debian.

Looks like Tom survived (I guess? -- his body was missing at least). Also, Red is probably Lizzie's dad. I'm guessing the "your father is dead" is him speaking metaphorically.

This looks quite bad ass.

What do they expect when they plant a niche show against the American Idol juggernaut? Revolution actually had decent ratings when it was on Monday night pitted against similar genres.

I actually enjoyed season 2. Yes, it's ridiculous and stupid, but it's a fun ridiculous and stupid. Make no mistake, though, the series would be absolutely devoid of merit without Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy. Also, being limited to 12 episodes helps a lot. Wonder who the mysterious...

Haha, wow. You're about 14 years late on your rustled jimmies. That shit was enforced all the way back to XP.

And with that decision coming so late we'll obviously not get a conclusion for the series. I wonder if Syfy could pick it up?

I'd watch a show with Crowley as the central character. Not sure how that would work since he's evil and all, but could be potentially fun.

Probably mentioned somewhere in this thread, but regarding traffic -- people who don't understand traffic circles. Stopping in the fucking middle to let someone on the outside come in. Morons.

Yeah, same here. Not gonna drink 80g of sugar thankyouverymuch.

People in the office talking about their stupid kids and the stupid mundane shit they did around their stupid house over the weekend.

Big ol 'meh'.

Oh come on, the show isn'tthatbad. But NBC pitting it against American Idol was a massive blunder. They would've been better off keeping it on Monday. What's sad is that they really haven't been working towards a conclusion for Revolution. So if this is canceled (and it looks like it...

Before this season I've never watched Suvivor. And I must say, this shit is not particularly entertaining. Especially with Morgan gone -- not even much to look at now. Were past seasons more thrilling? I'm not really understanding the popularity of this show.

Ugh, I have boring male friends. They never want to do shit.

I dunno, it's nice to have someone to do stuff with. Hard to get motivated to go somewhere, say on a vacation, when one is solo. But then it again I recall thinking several times during a relationship that this isn't worth the hassle.

I tried eHarmony once. I did like the fact that they introduce you to someone and you kinda take it from there. This works well if you're not the type that's super aggressive. Unfortunately there was no clear way to specify a body type in my preferences. I think I answered the various...

Here's a fan-created series 8 opener that's pretty bad ass: Peter Capaldi Doctor Who Series 8 Opening Sequence -- Finalized - 2014 intro LOAN ME YOUR EYES! - YouTube

Hopefully there will be an episode explaining quantum weirdness. Like the two-slit experiment, Schrodinger's cat, many-worlds interpretation (quantum suicide experiment!), etc.

Pretty sure it's been renewed.

Yup, damn straight. See ya in the Fall.

Yeah I explained that to a young-earther friend of mine and he said that God created light already in transit. Basically there is absolutely no evidence you can offer that these people won't hand-wave away.

I honestly think this is the next Family Guy or South Park.

Yeah I read where you can summon Solaire. I'm guessing I must've did something wrong because I never saw a summon glyph.

I didn't even realize that. I just saw the bonfire and immediately thought "I better light this shit before something stupid happens" and whamo ending. Anyway, the strategy I used was basically to circle that stalagmite formation towards the front and jab at him with my +4 crystal halberd...

I did it! By myself. No parrying. What a shitty ending. What the hell.

I placed down a summon sign, got summoned. Help the dude defeat the boss and then got booted back to where I initially was. Does defeating bosses in co-op not count?

Finished downloading the client a bit ago. Fired the game up. Love the character art. But once in the game my immediate impression is that it feels like a FTP title. Performance is also kinda bleh... I have a 2500K with a Radeon 6870 and the framerate isn't particularly smooth. Not choppy...

I'm pure melee. I can get him to half health by rotating around that one rock formation at the front. He just starts going nuts at some point and wears me out. Let me know if anyone would care to summon my ass and help me finish this playthrough. I'm on a PS3. PSN name is djgLXXII

Oh God, I'm on Gwyn now and I can't cheese this with iron flesh. Looks like parrying is the only real way to beat this guy? It's dumb that I'm level 96 and stuff still destroys me. It's like level doesn't really mean anything.

I was listening to FOX Business and they had a dude on talking about "Motif Investing". It actually sounds pretty interesting. Thought I'd share it here: Online Broker, Investment Ideas, Online Stock Trading | Motif Investing Anyone have any experience with these guys? Thoughts?

THAT's who that was. As soon as I saw her I thought, damn she looks awfully familiar. Hasn't aged well. Of course it's been 27 years. oh god....
