When I bought a Popcorn Hour media player (supposed to be high end) and it didn't play from .rar files, that rustled my jimmies. Went back to using a Boxee and XBMC and my jimmies are unrustled again.

War for the Overworldis pretty much DK3. It is very, very rough right now, but it is about the closest we're going to ever get I believe. Supposedly EA even gave them their blessing (along with a list of things they couldn't do of course, but still).

I'm still about 10 pages back on this thread since I've been avoiding it until I watched it, so I won't comment on anything else until I've caught up, but holy shit, how does anyone on the bridge of the Enterprise not go blind? The lights are like heart of the sun bright. Of course, Robocop's...

Pretty disappointed with this as well. The entire first half hour or so was particularly bad anytime Bruce Willis spoke, which is surprising to me because usually he's the best part. His character was just terribly written.

I don't think we can be friends anymore

Ah, the good old internet. I'm sure you would have "taken it like a man" too. Unless you're a fat fuck too you have just as much chance of getting a safe distance away as the guy who left the suitcase there, but us internet folk don't pussy out like that, no sir. I bet if you gave the people at...

I thought someone said that it wasn't their sun blowing up or whatever like the original, but Zod conquering and/or destroying the planet that prompted them to send their son to earth. I might have totally hallucinated that, but that's what I thought I remembered reading.

Assuming the story behind that is exactly what it appears to be (it might not be since this is the internet), I'd love to see somebody beat the fuck out of that guy thinking he was detaining an attempted terrorist. That's a stupid fucking prank. Hell, what if fatty has a heart attack while...

Upselling has pretty much always been around. When I worked at Taco Bell 25 years ago they still required us to ask if they wanted Cinnamon Crispas with that (not Twists you lazy fucks, we had Crispas!), or an extra taco, etc. I pretty much just say "No, thank you" and brush it aside...

Message too short.

Just finishedMonster Hunter International, fucking loved it. If you are tired of the recent style of urban fantasy books (excluding our own Moontayle and Nebuchadnezzar of course) where the hero usually wins by him/her self, and want to see a group of heavily armed motherfuckers pouring...

How much are we considering canon here? Because if we include comic books we can factor in Judge Dredd and I believe even Batman, which immediately opens up the entire DC Universe. Araysar, can you please construct a more complete timeline including this new information? Thanks!

Ok, I'm all in. I've gone full on fanboy for this movie, changed my avatar, bought IMAX tickets for the 14th. This is THE movie I've been waiting for all these years; Superman Returns let me down, so hopefully I'm not disappointed yet again. I realize I'm building up my expectations far too...

As far as I know he did, and yes it is awesome. As is most anything Brandon Sanderson puts his hand to. A few of his early books are noticeably rougher (Elantris), but still worth the read. I've listened to like three audiobooks in my life, and that was 20 years ago when driving back and...

Yeah, same here, I was even talking to a friend about that a few weeks ago. This movie looks interesting. I hate those accents, but they obviously fit the movie, and I laughed several times during the trailer so I'll definitely check it out. Maybe not in the theater, but I'll watch it for...

That looks really good, and is a lot like how mine is situated. I guess I should take a picture as well. It's still kind of freaky getting up in the middle of the night and first thinking that I left the TV on until I remember.

Finished Hard Magic the other day, and really enjoyed it. I am not usually a big fan of "historical" fiction (this is set in the 1920s and 30s), but it didn't really interfere with the story at all, and the alternate history part of it was actually fairly entertaining. I'll read the next one...

You have a lot of quotes that need fixing!

My turn! I hated Prince of Nothing. I would have liked it pretty much if it didn't have the main character, but that sort of defeats the purpose I suppose.

Aamina?

Just looked into getting IMAX tickets, and it is 153 minutes long too. That's bordering on too long of an erection I think.

So how many do we have for the next town? I haven't asked that group I mentioned earlier because I don't want to crowd out our own people, but if we've got plenty of room I still can.

Well you sir are off my Christmas list! That being said, I haven't read his newest series yet, so I have no idea if he's pulled a Peter V. Brett and descended into shitasticery. I liked the assassin trilogy quite a bit though.

We obviously all have different definitions of what a friend is, so it is difficult for everyone to discuss this on equal terms. The "friend" I mentioned earlier I could live without ever speaking to again, so is that really a friend? Probably not, but it is about as close as a female ever...

God dammit. I'm not sure I can take all of this build up. If this isn't the greatest movie ever I'm going to curl up into a little ball and cry myself to sleep the night I see this.

Allow me to be the first to say The Black Company series, by Glen Cook. Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson Gentleman Bastards by Scott Lynch I forget the exact series name, but a trilogy about an Assassin by Brent Weeks Malazan by Erikson The Name of the Wind etc. by Patrick Rothfuss That's...

Is Cities XL the game I should buy if I want to play SimCity? EDIT: Seems most reviews say no, it is a buggy piece of shit too. Back to SimCity 4 I guess.

In general I agree with the premise that men and women can't be friends, but I also understand that there are exceptions to every rule. I'd like to throw out one that has held true for me. It always starts with attraction for the guy, so at some point I've been interested in the girl(s) in...

I just leave mine on constantly now. It provides a good night light, and the longest strand says it is something like 1.75W. Not sure what that comes out to yearly, but it can't be much.

I started it, got about 20% in I believe, and was enjoying it to an extent, but then the new King Henry book came out, and I realized that I've got so many books I want to read that pushing my way through yet another book that only moderately interests me is counter-productive. Sure I've...

Brosar = Araysar.

If you show your tits you could probably get someone here to send you an e-reader!

It does get a little annoying with the blueprints in particular, and the random bad luck (I got yerm'd the town before this one on like day 3, so fuck camping ever again), but overall I just sort of look at it as something to do for 15 minutes while at work, and then just check randomly for...

I've already got 2500 books in my Calibre library that I've meticulously cataloged and converted to MOBI. But Calibre wouldn't solve my problem anyway. My problem is that I would essentially never get to use my Kindle again if I wanted it to sync with a browser or phone app. Converting them...

About your final question (still a spoiler, don't read it if you haven't finished):

This would be fantastic for allowing me to waste even more time at work reading in my browser, but until it syncs with a Kindle/Kindle app/mobi files, I'm too invested in technology that doesn't work with it

Does this mean that if we already have Google Music, we'll need to start paying for it now? Or is that only if we want the radio service?

I'd be even more impressed if they fucked with people by tossing some blurry Superman/Batman colors across the screen for a split second and say something like they didn't make the cut, or some silly green construct roaring by and fucking everything up because the wielder is an idiot, but I...

Thanks for taking the time to reply in depth, I really appreciate it.

Finished it last night, absolutely loved it. Definitely the best of the series so far. There were several moments when I laughed out loud, which doesn't happen with a lot of books, so great job on that. I'll put some reviews up later today if I get a moment. Is there a world record for...
