    NBA : 1992 Dream Team vs. 2012 Dream Team

    I always hated the Bulls during that era, but I definitely have to give credit where credit is due, and I'd take Scottie Pippen in '92 on any single team I was building, even if I had 4 other guys already playing his position. Hell, he could reasonably play just about every position if I really...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The only time I ever go to BK anymore is when I see that the Italian Chicken Sandwich is back. Man I love that thing. Otherwise I'd rather go to McDonald's than BK anymore. Used to think BK was significantly better when I was younger, but that time has long passed. Even their "flame broiled"...

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    I've started Altered Carbon about 4 different times and never got very far, so yeah, you're probably right.

    The Walking Dead

    Haha yeah I noticed that at the time too, actually made me laugh at all the horrible things I could think of to do with it, all of which they will never, ever do on the show because grabbing a tit = rape.

    Arrow

    Any episode with Huntress looking super-hot is ok with me. At first I was slightly annoyed by her shooting so many bolts into people, but that scene where she's attacking the safehouse sort of impressed me more than most things on television, because they actually had her at least making the...

    SimCity

    Since this is now about Anno 2070, I started the campaign and have only played a little way through it so far, but my main question is, did it explain somewhere what sort of things I want to look out for as far as placing houses and other junk? Or did I just miss it? What I mean is, you start...

    Archer

    I am not sure if this is still the case, but at one point she said she did it because otherwise she'd have to ask her brother for money (they have joint authority or some shit it seemed), and "he's creepy."

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    I realize you're being snarky, but more than just me have complained about all 3 of those books I listed so it isn't like I'm totally out of left field and trying to offend your sensibilities here. I've enjoyed tons of "real" books in my lifetime, but it just so happens that the last 3 I've...

    Archer

    Agreed. I've never been a fan of Lana (although she's a great foil for Archer so I appreciate her character), but I can't get enough Cheryl. Her "upper crust society" fake voice she does is the best too.

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    I haven't made it to that chapter yet, but I feel much the same way as you do. I was trying to rationalize that this just isn't my type of book (cyberpunk or whatever you want to call it), because everyone and their mother seems to think this is the greatest book they've ever read. But...

    Archeage

    Ship combat is obviously a little different, but that flying over a spot and then dismounting and ae'ing all over the place looked exactly like games like Perfect/Forsaken World (even the towns look similar). There might be more involved in the combat than it shows, and I didn't watch every...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    90 degrees, sure. I think we were all imagining sitting right next to her like some of those couples we all know do, bumping elbows as you mentioned. At least that's what I was picturing. Nothing wrong with 90 degrees though, nothing at all.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    While all of his other advice is spot on (even the roofie part), God I hate people that sit next to each other at a table! Not sure I'd do this part because it doesn't let you make eye contact, and even a lot of girls seem to think it is sort of creepy. But, I'm not an expert either, so maybe...

    Torrents

    Not to mention that a lot of private trackers don't necessarily approve all the newest versions of the programs. I've had 2.something for the longest time now and it works perfectly. For people like spronk that don't like not using the newest versions, I haven't been notified of an upgrade...

    Peter V. Brett

    I hated almost everything about the book. I'm trying to think of something that I actually liked, and I'm coming up blank. Like I said above, it isn't necessarily an abomination of a book per se, but there was not one thing actually likeable about it. Not even one character really. Abban was...

    Cool ranch taco shells have been at Taco Bell for the last week or so. I hate ranch so haven't had one but I figure plenty of people might be interested. I don't see the appeal honestly, doesn't seem like it would mix with taco flavor, but maybe that's just my hatred of ranch talking and...

    SimCity

    Well, I don't necessarily agree with returns on everything, and I get what Caliane and others are getting at. The DRM = returns logic works for some games, SimCity being a perfect example because it will probably be played multiple times in the coming years (assume it isn't shitty for this...

    SimCity

    I get what you are trying to say, even though you're implying the wrong thing (that we are each returning multiple games). However, semantics of the word habitual aside, what makes you think the blame is entirely on us? SimCity is undeniably broken and not the game they claimed it to be...

    The Veronica Mars Movie Project

    I'm guessing since this is now a movie we are being encouraged to use this thread. They posted this on the Kickstarter recently I will forgive her the lowercase crap because I love her second best behind Kate Beckinsale, but this is the part I liked most: This is the Veronica Mars I love. The...

    The Walking Dead

    Yeah, this happened to me when a friend started watching it from the beginning last week. I was trying not to spoil stuff for him, and he's saying shit like, "That already happened in the second episode." I could have sworn the first season took much longer than it really did. Ah, nostalgia.

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey, so I'm still excited to see it. Villain's name and costume made me laugh. Hit Girl isn't quite the new Hermione, but probably the closest thing right now.

    Oh sweet Jesus. I finally slogged through the rest of the third book. I should have read some of the spoilers here telling that there was a cliffhanger at the end. If I had known there was going to be a fourth book (I honestly thought it was supposed to be a trilogy) I would have stopped at...

    Veronica Mars

    Holy shit, I don't even need to read it, I'll support it sight unseen. I love Kristen Bell and Enrico Colantoni and enjoyed the show quite a bit when it wasn't too wrapped up in stupid romance shit. When she was punking motherfuckers for messing with her, that's what I really enjoyed.

    SimCity

    What's funny is that I'm fairly certain (could be wrong of course) that Drinsic never even bought the game, so he obviously wouldn't have had to return it. He's just defending the people like me that did. I honestly don't care what someone thinks of me for returning it. I haven't returned a...

    SimCity

    Yes I did. I went to my Digital Library on Amazon, and next to SimCity I clicked on "View Order Details." It showed my Digital Order, and I clicked "Problem with this Order?" I chose to have them call me immediately. When they called, the guy asked how he could help me, and I said I was...

    SimCity

    Fuck it, after reading that stuff, and realizing that it could be months (or never) before they even begin to address any of the actual gameplay concerns, and realizing that I only enjoy it for the first 15 minutes or so when plotting out my roads, I went ahead and got a refund from Amazon. Not...

    SimCity

    I'm not going to ask for a refund from Amazon simply because I figure it is a lesson learned, and I'll end up playing it here and there over the coming months I'm sure, and if a few patches or tweaks make it more entertaining I might even really enjoy it. But yeah, if it weren't called SimCity...

    SimCity

    Yeah, this is one of the things that is really killing it for me. The truck leaves one building heading the wrong direction, and decides to take who knows what fucking journey through town before ending up right next door. Traffic is ONE of the main root causes of almost every other terrible...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    To be honest I'm not very inspired by this, but I'm a huge fan of the old Ultima games (I actually owned 1-10, didn't finish the last couple though), so I gave him a chance with $30. The way I look at it is that I will probably get more enjoyment out of it than the $40 I mistakenly gave to EA...

    They were all carrying weapons openly. They just went Babe Ruth style on the zombies to keep the noise down.

    SimCity

    Apparently I'm just horrible at this game, as my population suddenly plummeted for no reason that I can see, and all of my money-earning buildings stopped producing because they needed workers. So I had to disable all of my public works, which means everything fucking burns down or gets...

    SimCity

    That's exactly what I do. It drives me nuts to know that I more than likely screwed something up at the beginning but won't realize it until much, much later. That gives me a little bit to look forward to, so perhaps I'll fuck around with getting my system down a little better on solo maps so I...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Actually, if you buy from him directly now, he said he'll give you a Steam key if it ever ends up for sale there. At least, he said that last year, I'm assuming his position is still the same.

    SimCity

    This is kind of how I'm feeling. It seems like if I don't make everything perfect at first, I end up fucking myself later on. Sandbox is ok for experimenting, but I quickly lose interest because nothing matters there. Not having a save, and knowing that if you abandon your city you might...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    I haven't played in months, but I had a similar issue. I figured it out eventually, and I'm trying to remember what the problem was. Are those red squares where you are trying to place walls, and it is saying it can't? Also, is your gnome stuck there? If that is the case, see if you can't...

    E-reader or tablet

    Only the stuff you actually buy from Amazon has any sort of DRM. You can add any book you want to it via programs like Calibre or even just drag and drop if it is already in the right format. But if you're talking about exporting stuff bought from Amazon off of the Kindle, well yeah that takes...
