    Pretty good change on Chara's part, as well.

    Wargame AirLand Battle

    How is it for single player? I have zero interest in multiplayer.

    T-shirts.

    Probably accidentally hit whatever key stroke combo changes the keyboard language. Happens to me from time to time, ctrl shift something or other. Annoying as fuck.

    Camping tents

    Yeah, a hammock tent is going to be excellent for housing his family of 4. Great call. He's looking for a car camping tent. Not a super light, single person, backcountry shelter.

    Dunno why there's so much hate for Torts. He's one of the best quotes in the game and has been very successful for the most part. I find him entertaining as hell. He's also a pretty stand up guy, making comments on Monday that he didn't do a good enough job to get the players emotionally...

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    At what point does Sather get his ass fired? Sure he manages to put together a pretty good team most years, but they haven't accomplished much in the playoffs during his tenure and there's been some fucking awful contracts signed on his watch.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I don't see why it's so crazy. Even if you have say 50 staff working on a game for 3 years at an average salary of 100k/year, that's 15m before you've paid for any office space, hardware, software, voice over or motion capture and so on. The only way to get around that is to develop it in some...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    I realize, I just took issue with that specific statement because it's so completely false. There are plenty of "run of the mill every day guys" that don't have a whole lot more going for them than the guy they are standing beside, but are absolutely swimming in pussy because for whatever reason...

    Small Story - Yet Enraging (graffiti in egypt)

    Maybe it just has special significance to me because my first night in Japan a few years back we went to some bizarre little bar in Nagano where the bartender was dressed up as Jack Sparrow, and the first thing out of his mouth when we walked in was to point at my friend and say "KEANU REEVES?"...

    I dunno man, the sheer number of books out there today is fucking staggering. Even if only a teeny, tiny, weeny little fraction of them survive whatever catastrophe, that's still a shit ton of knowledge that doesn't have to be rediscovered.

    Arrested Development

    I watched the final episode from Season 3 last night, and the first two new episodes. My observation was that the final "original" episode was fucking hysterical from start to finish, with the Pete Rose horn cuts, Maeby's "there's a girl in my soup!" card, "shoveling coal" and so on. Good god...

    Too bad Detroit didn't do much with their 3-1 series lead. I don't like their chances in game 7 vs. Chicago.

    I didn't realize that we had completely eliminated text books and paper publications of scientific journals. Yup, you're right, all of humanity's knowledge is only stored in digital formats that will go poof when our society ends, and there aren't thousands upon thousands of libraries and...

    It would be pretty incredibly hard to wipe out or knowledge base at this point though, which would give whatever civilization follows ours a pretty big leg up. It's not like it was with past civilizations that were isolated and regional. Barring some sort of catastrophic incident that completely...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    First off, sorry, I only read the last couple pages. I enjoyed the first reboot, personally. Plot was mediocre, but the cast was really good and visually it was very good as well. The fan service aspects of it I enjoyed. I watched a lot of TNG growing up, but otherwise I'm not a Trekky at all...

    I dunno, maybe I was just an early bloomer or something, but it seems to me that most 15 year olds should know that defacing a 3,500 year old sculpture is a big no no.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    A couple of my PM's and site supers have picked those up, now that we've dumped our Telus Mike phones and are just reimbursing guys to use their personal phones. Seems like a pretty decent phone if you want something a bit more rugged than typical smartphones.

    Men's Fashion

    Love my two Canali suits. Like you said, I feel sharp as hell in them. Only two suits I own at the moment, not counting the 4 button Hugo Boss one I got for my high school graduation that is so woefully out of style nowadays.

    Shit like that happens with less and less frequency, and again, race fans attend under the assumption that reasonable steps have been made to prevent injuries at permanent race courses in all but the most exceptional circumstances.

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    The other thing to keep in mind is that at the far end of the bell curve of performance, whether athletic, academic, or business oriented minor differences can result in massive disparities in representation. I don't think anyone would dispute that African people tend to be superior at many, if...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Nothing wrong with any of what you said there. I'm not really taking much issue with feminism in this thread, you're lumping me in with other people. I just think it's ridiculous that many people refuse to acknowledge that there are real differences between men and women, and that those...

    No, it doesn't work like that at all. As far as I understand it, the orientation of solar systems has little or nothing to do with the galactic plane or anything else. The orbit of planets can be at all sorts of angles, for example our solar system's plane is 60 degrees off the galactic plane...

    He's been going senile for the better part of a decade. In 2006 he kept confusing Pronger and Bergeron during the Oilers' Cup run, because one wore 44 and the other 47. Nevermind that one is, you know, a foot taller than the other.

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Thanks for saving me the time of digging that stuff up. As I've been saying, men and women are wired differently, both in how they approach relationships as well as careers.

    God, I can't wait to taste Araysar's sweet, sweet tears. Remember what I was saying about how no one gives a fuck about the regular season? A second round elimination will be so awesome. Granted, there's a lot of hockey left to play, and Chicago could well come back. I just hope not. Also...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    I'll go with that. Take athletics for example. Anyone going to argue that men are not simply physiologically superior in virtually all disciplines there? You'd be a fucking moron to argue that women do worse at athletics because of bias, and not because of biological differences in the sexes...

    James Webb and some of the very large ground based telescopes being built should be able to do some spectroscopy on exo-planet atmospheres. So you'll see that start to happen within a decade, but likely it will only be possible on very large planets, very far aware from very dim stars, at least...
