    It only matters if you are the hero doing the joining anyway. Since you're in my coalition, you would be brought along when I joined one even if you had zero soul points.

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    Have not started yet, trying valiantly to finish The Daylight War so I never have to touch it again.

    Would be awesome to get 30 or more in tonight, on a new season no less. My coalition is ready to go, and I can be there right about the time you said. Depending upon traffic I could be a few minutes late, but it shouldn't be more than 5 or 10, so wait for me!

    King of the Nerds

    Wrong person won, I feel. Genevieve showed skill in almost everything she did, or studied/practiced enough to beat the people she had to face. Celeste's "journey of growth" might have actually happened, but she only made a point of mentioning it to anyone (including the viewers) when it was...

    Tried to get into my existing city for hours last night, was unsuccessful. It is entirely possible that I'm remembering things being better than they actually were, but I seem to think that I was able to play Diablo III more than 3 hours the first week. And I thought that was the ultimate in...

    E-reader or tablet

    E-reader (Kindle keyboard) because I prefer the non-backlit display. I understand the new PaperWhite Kindles are lit without really being backlit and are pretty awesome, but I'll keep using the one I have until it dies. It is perfect and I don't need anything else on it. I have a separate 10"...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    People arguing politics or religion on the internet. Also, the stupid (and yes, black) cunt that lives below me.

    Same here, that's the only reason I bought it before it was 75% off.

    5 major ISPs roll out the "six strikes" policy regarding illegal downloads.

    I have no use for BitCoins, and with no logs being kept I don't know that it matters if someone tracks my credit card to a VPN, but I went with Private Internet Access, which also accepts BitCoins if that matters to you. They have been fantastically stable, easy yet flexible, basically...

    Speaking of, I need Ao to make himself available in the coalition again. I had everyone go unavailable while I joined random towns, so it isn't his fault. Just need him to see this and change it. EDIT: My coalition is all available and ready to go now.

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    Thanks for sharing that Obtenor. Yet another reason why I'm glad to live in America no matter how much everyone tells me I should despise it. Unfortunately, this is the internet, and thus other people know more than you do, no matter what the subject is, and will refuse to back down or change...

    Imagine what it will be like when the next The Sims game is online only and housewives have to be told why they can't play because the server is down/busy.

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    Wow. I know nothing about Obtenor, or you, or Chavez really for that matter. But to just jump to that conclusion when you know nothing else about the situation is pretty fucking douchey. Consider my jimmies rustled. Am I to assume then that you have actually lived under Chavez's rule to be...

    Yep, as long as you have over 100 soul points to get into distant towns, which I know you do because of how long you've been one of the few consistent names out scavenging every day in our towns.

    Peter V. Brett

    There is a Peter V Brett thread a couple down already, but since you brought it up and I have avoided that one for spoilers, I am having the hardest fucking time finishing book 3. I'm 70% in and it seems like finally the exciting shit is going to start, but holy fuck did I not care about most...

    Oh I know, I was just commenting on how I was just in a halfway decent random town for a change. Usually they barely last 3 days. I approve of you guys fucking with other towns all you want, doesn't rustle my jimmies

    Thanks for those tips Budos, obviously I had no idea what I was doing. I've got oil, so I'm assuming I would be better served converting that to whatever the more valuable version is (not sure without being in game) before selling it. I'll see if I can't do a little research while at work...

    Combining 2 hard drives into 1 volume

    Not that I'm aware of, but just do what I used to do. Go into uTorrent and change the default download location to (for example) F:\Torrents instead of E:\Torrents. That way anything new will end up on the new drive, but all the old stuff will still be seeding/stored on the old drive. Sure...

    Ah, see I think that is part of my problem. Trading depot? I had no idea those even existed or how to build them. I'm sure that if I demolished some buildings and drilled out all my oil, and could actually sell the excess, I'd probably have a shitload of money. Thanks for the tip, now I just...

    After my initial 2 hours, I played for another 30-45 mins last night, during which the servers reported they were down and never came up. I tried to play longer hoping they would come back up, but eventually I had to quit. I'm assuming that means they didn't sync at the end, so whatever my...

    The town I'm in right now is actually pretty damn good, even with only 15 or so from coalitions. I found the hacksaw first day, but more importantly they had scouts going all over the place finding buildings, and survivalists camping in them the first night for blueprints. Now, we have the...

    SimCity

    Was able to play in my area for a couple of hours. Starting off where I did for my first city was probably a terrible idea, as it is a 2-level coastal town, making any sort of actual maximization of space impossible for me at this point. It also has 2 oil deposits, which of course I didn't...

    Seems it took one of my earlier claims, so I'm totally on the other side from you Springbok. Oh well, at least *maybe* it will let me play now. EDIT: Nope, still can't get into the actual city, but it does think I belong there at least, so I'm slowly getting there!

    If I could actually claim a spot in the region (I have an invite, it just won't let me claim anything) I might. Of course at the rate I've clicked stuff, it will probably eventually show me as claiming all the remaining regions

    So I just sat through a 20 minute queue to get into the game, and now it fails to load any of my friends or invites, and periodically tells me that it cannot connect to the SimCity servers. Normally a restart would be my approach, but I'll probably have to sit through another fucking queue...

    You mean the meeting in 1985 before the Taliban even existed? Just because someone makes a picture of it on the internet doesn't mean it is true.

    I'm not an expert on it either, but post-Crisis also retconned gay shit like Superman now being surrounded by a telekinetic force-field that gave him most of his powers (invulnerability, flight, strength, etc.), and MOST IMPORTANTLY explained why his costume wasn't completely obliterated every...

    Fuck Comcast

    While I get the point you're making, it would be worth $25 a month to me to stick it to Comcast/Time Warner/whomever and "vote with my money" so to speak. On top of that, I'd imagine that Google doesn't have a bandwidth cap either, while the other companies likely would, so I'd pay $25 more...
