    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Shit, if I could raise my prices 10% I'd do fucking cartwheels. Obviously I'm in a much higher volume, lower margin business, but increasing my margins is by far the best and easiest way to make more money as compared to increasing revenues. On the flip side, we've basically sworn off estimating...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    What this guy said. Why look at gross revenue when we were talking about how much money the game was taking to make in the first place? Not sure what his deal is, but he's said quite a few dumb things these last few pages. Your numbers were all probably in the ballpark, even if they were off by...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    You realize that game developers get less than half of what the retail price is for a game, right? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than a third. The retailer takes a huge cut, there's distribution costs, they'd probably have needed publisher who would also take some, on and on it goes.

    Scarlett Johansson Named ?Sexiest Woman Alive? for the second time!

    SJ is hot, don't get me wrong, but I can think of a lot of other women that I'd rate higher. Actress wise, I think it's pretty difficult to top Kate Beckinsale: Even in papparazzi shots where she's just walking around with a coffee in jogging pants she looks fucking amazing. Minimal...

    Hummus is delicious dude. You can get all kinds of different flavors of it too. Favorite so far has been tomato basil. Shit's unreal.

    Good call on the rolling cooler. We've been to a Cards and Chargers game in the past two Brovembers and yeah, generally tailgating is the funnest part. We show up in Oilers jerseys and make a couple dozen friends while drinking their beer and eating their food. Good times. I believe we rented a...

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    I find that freakiness in the bedroom and physical attractiveness tend to be inversely proportional to each other, of course with some exceptions. The uglier the person, the more likely they are to want rebar shoved down their urethra. Seriously, just go to a sex shop or show/convention. most of...

    The Hobbit

    I finally got around to watching it the other night. I enjoyed it overall. I am not a big fan of The Hobbit to the same extent that I am LOTR and the Silmarillion, and I haven't read it in well over a decade, so my memory of it is pretty fuzzy and I'm not all that emotionally attached to it. It...

    Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

    As others have said, he was primarily a desk jockey in the Tom Clancy books, with a couple exceptions. He worked for the CIA and such, but he was a "realistic" CIA analyst and wasn't involved in operations. That was John Clark and Domingo Chavez. But that's not even what I meant with my...

    Bicycling

    That really sucks Brad. Sounds like you have a very, very similar injury to what my bro got when he laid down his Ducati a few years back. His foot also got caught on the pavement, pinned underneath the bike in his case as I understand it. Spiral fracture of the tibia. He was given two options...

    Buying a car?

    If you're going strictly by numbers of cars you saw at the shop and equating that to reliability (or lack thereof), it's really not a fair comparison. BMW outsells Mercedes by a significant margin, something like 200k cars to 300k cars in 2012, and the gap used to be even bigger.

    Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

    Does anyone think that Chris Pine looks like Matt Damon in Team America? On a serious note, while this might be a decent movie, it has absolutely fucking nothing to do with Jack Ryan or Tom Clancy. Why even bother? I don't even see what marketing tie-ins they're after, very few people know...

    Transcendental Meditation

    I don't think they're too hefty actually, because a lot of that shit has been shown in legitimate scientific studies. I don't buy in to much new agey shit, but meditation seems pretty legit. Think of it as an applied placebo effect. That said, I've never looked in to it personally. Maybe I...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't fucking get the Gran Turismos. They are ugly as fucking sin and you don't really gain much if any utility or cargo space. They're just fucking stupid, like the X6.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Because North Americans have horrific taste in vehicles, and no one here buys wagons when they can just buy an SUV instead. I would imagine that SUV's being exempted from CAFE standards and so on doesn't help things. Super jealous of my bro. He found a 2010 535 wagon with next to no miles on...

    Ah. I haven't followed the game much at all. I had assumed that people were playing on large servers with dozens of players in each game world. I thought it was somewhat "massive". My bad!

    There's a fuckload more taxes and levies in Europe as far as I understand it. Cars are also taxed based on their engine displacement, I believe. I was fucking around on the Mercedes website last night for the hell of it. It is fucking ridiculous how expensive an E63 AMG wagon is when you've...

    HL:Source might not look to incredibly dated, but yeah, the gameplay is 15 years old. I think it would be worth a play through, if only because it's one of the best video games of all fucking time and you're a heathen if you haven't played it. Compare the gameplay in it to that of the N64 Golden...

    Running really isn't a great form of cardio, in all honesty. It's hard on your joints and back. Some people just aren't physiologically meant to run. Cycling, rowing, swimming, or even rollerblading might all be better options.

    RIP Tom Clancy

    He was mailing it in, the last 5 or so Jack Ryan books were also co-written, which probably means he sketched the plot out a bit and handed it off to whoever was ghostwriting. I think I stopped at the Bear and the Dragon, which I think was pretty mediocre too. I can quite clearly remember the...

    RIP Tom Clancy

    Shame, I really liked his Jack Ryan/John Clark series back in the day. Never got in to this non-fiction stuff, and quite frankly I was extremely disgusted at how he whored his name out on books he had nothing to do with over the past 10 years.
