This is entirely true. If I didn't have free access to the internet (and at times things like my Steam library, but only simple games like Dredmor and such) I wouldn't be able to survive doing as little as I do. I work in a construction-related field, but sit at a desk and use a computer...

Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. Looking back over the episode summaries, I had totally forgotten that they dealt with weird scientific stuff. I still never really considered it sci-fi, but I can see where you are coming from. I really liked that show too.

I didn't hate the first ASM, but this trailer looked like ass to me. Electro looked terrible to me, not sure how you guys are thinking it looked good. He sort of reminded me of Mr. Freeze to be honest. And that Harry Osborn actor...holy fuck, just put a mustache on him and he'd be a perfect...

Gina Carano is a favorite of mine if I have to pick one woman to survive the zombie apocalypse with, but as a major actress she's not at the top of my list. I'm telling you, this chick would have been perfect. You could practically photoshop the WW outfit onto this picture and she'd be...

Fringe would be the last one that lasted for any length of time. And that was plenty episodic to start with as well. Eleventh Hour? Wasn't that the detective-type show with the female cop with big titties and the curly-haired guy (dark hair, not the Mentalist) that made all the typical...

I doubt it. We'd be able to pick up on parts of the overall storyline regardless of which order they were in, they just wouldn't make a lot of sense to us. I still like the show regardless of overall story or not, but if ratings are that bad it won't really matter.

Well, just be aware that no matter if you have the soundbar or a typical 5.1/7.1 setup, where you place the microphone for its "auto adjusting" will make a huge difference in listening quality somewhere else. It doesn't just magically make it sound like perfect surround everywhere in the room...

Honestly, for a girlfriend that probably doesn't want a bunch of excess shit, a soundbar is the way to go. I have a receiver and individual speakers myself, but there is always that point when you look at some piece of technology and realize, "Fuck it, she won't ever notice or appreciate the...

She never would have made it because she's an unknown, but Christian Pitre (Mary Death from Bounty Killer, my current avatar) would have been a perfect choice I felt, assuming they couldn't get Jaime Alexander of course. That Fast & Furious chick is way, way too thin to be Wonder Woman.

I'd love to play this Friday if everyone else is available. I'm on vacation too so I could start earlier if the rest of you want.

I am on vacation and had been planning (hoping) to play FTB 1.6 during this time, but since it still isn't out I've resorted to something called the "AT Launcher." For all intents and purposes it is a slightly redone copy of FTB, but most importantly it has almost everything updated to 1.6...

I knew I recognized that from somewhere, but couldn't put my finger on it, and forget to google it later. Thanks for pointing it out, I like knowing things like that.

Sorry, I guess I was a little unclear on that part. The streaming and everything works just fine, no degradation of the actual video or anything. It is the actual interface that looks like a Super Nintendo, to the point where I couldn't stand to use it. The playback itself is just as good as...

You kill me Astro. No pun intended.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of attracted to Brahma right now?

I'm assuming you messed with the brightness on the Panasonic yourself to make sure it wasn't just turned down to help persuade people to buy the (probably more expensive) LCDs nearby? Also, I'm not sure what "much brighter" will really do for you, assuming you are going to set it according to...

All I took from it was that she had to take out an unknown number of assailants, by hand, to save everyone else. It took her to a dark place, where she had to become a killing machine, and it took away all of her laughter and happiness. Sort of like how "dying" (or whatever happened to him)...

The "What's the matter, got you pushing too many pencils?" line (not the precise quote, I know, but none of us work for the CIA) is yet another one that my friends/coworkers are probably absolutely sick of hearing. And for awhile any time someone was lagging getting into the car after a party...

Why, exactly? I'm not picking on you specifically Tarrant, but I keep seeing this get brought up again and again in the TV section. Don't get me wrong, if it is done well it can make a show even better, but if it is done badly it will just make the show worse. Some shows are better off...

Purchased. Loved it! Your world would be perfect for movies. Who do I have to blow to make that happen?

That was absolutely horrible, like they weren't even pretending to try anymore. I'm not sure if I can make it to the finale at this rate.

Wow. That episode was way better than any of the others.

Mud (stupid 1 char!)

The theater I go to is starting to get that old sweat smell to it, no matter which theater, no matter which seat. It's like I'm sitting between a couple of fat, sweaty nerds. I still go because I enjoy seeing a movie I'm really looking forward to on the big screen, but it definitely is...

The Black Company. The Paratwa Trilogy by Christopher Hinz (First book is Liege-Killer). After the first three Black Company books, Liege-Killer is one of my all-time favorites, and the other two in the series are great too.

Excellent! Now all I need is a tranny dick on the same page. Seriously, I was laughing the entire time I read that.

I just watched that new trailer, and I still don't get how you guys are immediately jumping to the conclusion that everyone else dies by the time the governor shows up and looks at the prison. I mean, you guys could very well be right, but nothing about any of that tells me definitely what...

40W is pretty typical for 5 drives when actually accessing data. When the drives hibernate, it drops to around 15W I want to say. I have the 8-bay Synology, and according to this info pageSynology Network Attached Storage - DS1812+ Productsit only consumes 50.6 W. I'll pull out the...

Really liked this one. And I can't stand Jake Gyllenhall (flashbacks of Donnie Darko), but he was great in this. Particularly all of his facial tics.

Well, it is always possible that he just went to go look at the prison all by himself first, without a gaggle of idiots making a ton of noise behind him, isn't it?

Apparently I've been doing it backwards! I thought it was like Mongolian BBQ and you only get one cup, so you better fill it as full of hard liquor as you possibly can! Somewhat related:

Orcs Must Die 2 is awesome co-op. Like awesome, with awesome sauce poured on top of it. If you like that kind of game, of course.

Because it doesn't say it anywhere on any of the books? And websites (including Amazon) call it Bastards with an s? I don't know how anyone would have even known that unless he says it on his website or something, and fuck if I'm going to analyze an author's website just to catch something...

Hmm, that SilverStone case is awesome. I'm afraid to see a price tag though. (I'll find it, just saying I can imagine it being fairly expensive.) Thanks for the suggestions!

This was mentioned in the Almost Human thread about the second episode, and I just don't get it. There are still very few shows that are going to be story episode after story episode forever and ever. And some of those aren't even very good. Technically The Walking Dead is the type of show...

Well, perhaps I misspoke a little, because she called herself an "Intelligence Analyst" in the first episode. But close enough, you get the drift. The MX doctor is clearly the "crazy tech guy" but she's still going to be mainly in the office pulling up maps and backgrounds and such.

I enjoyed the second episode quite a bit. As Tarrant mentioned, I laughed at several points when they were talking to each other throughout the episode. I'm fine with standalone episodes here and there, or even shows where the majority of the "overall story" is in the last 5 minutes of each...

I forgot how good GoT first episode was too until I went back and looked. Now I remember telling several people, "Just watch the first episode. If you aren't hooked after that, you won't like the show." Don't forget, it ended with "The things I do for love" and pushing a kid out of a...

I don't really need to upgrade my computer at all, but I've realized that my massive Antec 1200 case with 6 hard drives in it is a waste of space and power (and heats my entire apartment just fine, thanks!) now that I have a sweet NAS setup going. I don't want to just move my old hardware over...

Hopefully in Avengers 2 or 3 they do a "Usual Suspects" type flashback where they reveal all these awesome plans Loki laid out. I'm sure it will never happen, because the internet usually comes up with better stories than the actual writers, so I'm sure none of what j00t listed ever crossed...
