    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    It actually sort of amuses me listening to all of the radio commercials for this movie now that I've seen it. Every single one of them has The Mandarin spouting all of his doom and gloom, death to Iron Man schtick. Not a mention of anything else.

    Prometheus (Alien 0) - 1 Year Later

    The people inPrometheusacted about the same as Liam Neeson and his daughter in Taken 2. I was annoyed with them, and I'm annoyed with the characters inPrometheus, regardless of them being world-class scientists in their field. Who throws a fucking grenade across rooftops in Turkey just to help...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Nice, thanks. I'll probably give them a shot then, because that has to be less energy than leaving a room light on all the time. EDIT: If it ain't Prime, I ain't buying it! Luckily, I found the right ones immediately (http://www.amazon.com/Backlight-46-5...=lcd+backlight), so I guess I'll...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I didn't even know things like that existed, but I have always had an issue with needing to have at least some sort of light on in the room while I watch television. It typically should be behind or above me so that it isn't directly in my view, but having the room super dark always tends to...

    Supernatural

    If it is Meg, and they end up keeping her around, I'm going to nerd rage. Unless they do like j00t suggested and make it a different actress, but I'm almost certain there is some sort of rabid fanbase for that shitty, overdramatic actress. There are few actors I can't stand as much as her; I...

    I can't begin to imagine the amount of rage I'd feel if I fell into lava with all that.

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    I liked the movie quite a bit. Minor issues, wasn't a big fan of the kid but he didn't ruin it either, could have done with more Iron Man and less Stark, etc. In regards to Pepper:

    HDTVs

    Other than the "must have" part, this isn't really news to anyone that has been looking for a TV in the past couple of years. They're just making a bigger deal about it than most reviewers.

    I got my flirc in and set it up, and everything is fucking awesome now. With one exception. Several of the menus in XBMC/Aeon Nox are accessed through right-clicking the mouse, on particular areas of the screen no less (for example, right clicking on a specific episode of a show, that menu is...

    ReRolled Minecraft Server III

    If you have the room would you mind whitelisting me please McFly? I don't know if I'll have the time to build much, but I'd enjoy looking around, and you never know, this damn game might just drag me back in one of these days. I was a loyal citizen of Unicornia previously, so I'd apply for...

    Interesting sleuthing. Might be something to toss his way and see what he says, but as long as he stops being a dumbass and spends his points where we tell him to from now on, I'm fine with letting him live. If he continues doing stupid shit, well I'm sure we all know what to do.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If he's on I-80 in California he is! I get your point, just had to toss that in there. I think I might get shot here in California if my car didn't go over 70. Middle of Sacramento shit is always going faster than that, let alone outside of town with less traffic. Speed limit is 65 most...

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    I enjoyed this movie and was glad I saw it. Most of my thoughts have been already voiced by others, but a couple of things quick. First, the person that designed those drones deserves a bonus, because they were awesome. The noises, the "facial expressions", everything about them made seem...

    Torrents

    They only really target people seeding (i.e. giving multiple copies of it away for free), not the people downloading (stealing one copy), so the longer you seed, the more likely you would be caught if they chose to target a particular torrent. If you're worried about that sort of thing.

    Continuum

    I always heard it as the Smoking Man. I caught the premiere episode of this season and I wasn't blown away by it. I didn't hate it, but I'm hopeful that it picks back up and gets a little more interesting like last season. No clue why young dude isn't watching her bathe and shit though...

    This is why I always, always make sure I'm dressed before taking any pictures, no matter how safe I think I might be. Unless of course I'm taking pictures of my cock to send to the ladies. Because they are begging for it. Which could happen, I swear! Someday Unrelated:

    Yeah that's the first thing I did too (well, after installing Win 8), specifically because I had read about the temperature issue. Temp was still set at 78C after the update. Just the 15 minutes or so that it took to install Windows and locate the BIOS update raised the temperature to "almost...

    3,083 with 13 points! Already lost several of my deep seeds though. Anyone else think that voting on this thing is sort of landslide-ish? Emma Watson losing to Katherine Webb with only 20% of the vote? I mean, I picked her to win but I am not surprised she lost...but 80/20? I didn't even...

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    I enjoyed the books well enough, knowing they weren't ever going to be nominated for something like a Hugo or Nebula award. I also enjoyed the Dan Brown books well enough for what they were. And Harry Potter, since he mentioned them. I hated Twilight and never read Eragon. The third Hunger...

    That sucks, hope it started working for you again once it cooled off. Not sure what is up with the BIOS but there is obviously a problem with some of them being set way too hot. Doesn't sound like everyone gets it, but no idea why some would be set differently. Never checked out Filebot...

    I'll check it out since it has been mentioned a couple of times now, but I'm pretty much just whining about the initial setup. Once I get everything going it won't be much effort at all to keep things straightened out. If I download 5 (non-porn) movies in a week that's a lot, and TV shows work...

    Windows 8 validation worked perfectly, so that's all squared away. Only thing I wish they had (and they might, so tell me if there is) is a scraper that prompts you for each file in your library. I'd rather it ask me all of them at once then have to browse through them one by one and check...

    I'm at work so can't try that yet, but if it does, I could kiss you! But only if you're female, or at least a passable tranny to where I could get offended and say I was tricked. I had googled a little bit (not much) and hadn't had much luck, so assuming this works, thanks a ton for posting...

    Oh I'm good for that, that isn't a problem. I meant, after it scraped all of my files, the Boxee would admit that it didn't know wtf to do with certain files, so it would lump them all into a category you could access and manually update each one. It didn't move them or anything, it just sort...

    Pfft, I don't need some piddly capacity seedbox! I get enough upload just leaving my computer on 24/7 without really trying. I get your point though, but other than a movie being under the folder "Debbie Does Dallas" it might be under "Debbie.Does.Dallas.1978(?).720p-SceneGroup" instead. I...

    I torrent the vast majority of my content so unless I re-point every torrent that wouldn't work very well for seeding. And it is only really a concern for movies, my shows I actually do point to a specific folder for each series so once it realizes what that folder is for (like Castle), it...

    Finally got my hard drive in yesterday and set it up last night. Couple of stumbling blocks, one of which is that it wouldn't see my NAS on the network. Turning everything off and then back on fixed that at least, but pretty annoying to bang my head against the wall for awhile trying other...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Then why did you even post your personal experience if you realized it probably had no basis in reality? Your post was the equivalent of one that started with, "No offense but..." and then proceeded to offend someone. I guess I should have just posted "I love my Panasonic" and left it at that?

    Going to have to defend Sean here. If you go strictly by ratings and reviews the Panasonic plasmas are some of the best TVs you can buy for the money. Sucks that you had bad experiences, but that's definitely the exception and not the rule. To be honest, 3 bad in 4 years is almost lottery...

    Just a heads up, I can only join a town as the hero to bring people in until Wednesday. After that I will be on vacation for a week. I can still log in and spend my points and such, but I can't be in IRC and actually pull a group after Wednesday. And each of those days will have to be 3 hours...

    Well, if you get an IR USB dongle like that flirc or the one BrutulTM linked, you could probably program any universal remote to control your TV as well as the HTPC. I mean, it's the same thing as the Harmony in use, just a boatload cheaper. That RCA remote I bought for under $9 is fucking...
