Does anyone here watch this? I sort of decided to watch it out of a random pick of shows that have decent ratings. I just completed season 1 a few days ago. It's on ABC and is a political drama. It's actually really fucking good, at least in my opinion. I begun the series not liking the...

Yeah, I'm thinking these competitions might be rigged. The show would have been 50% less fun to watch if Danielle got the boot.

I'm enjoying the slower pace. There's no feeling of having to rush to max level.

HEY what's with the chick fromPerson of Interestdoing in this? Are they dropping that storyline?

I canceled back in June or so, but I still really like this game. A lot of fun to just hop in and screw around.

That's interesting because I find those outfits sexy as hell. I take classes at a local community college and there was one chick that dressed liked that. Had glasses too, so maybe that's the "sexy nerd" look or something.

Right. If it was guilt that drove him to suicide, then he should've slit his wrists years ago. But, yeah, overall I enjoyed this season much more than the first. Although I was hoping for a Satan vs. Alien showdown.

YO!

This is a reality competition show that recently started on TBS. Moderately interesting if you consider yourself a "nerd". It's more interesting for the fact that the nerd girls are pretty cute (well, except for one). http://www.tbs.com/shows/king-of-the-nerds/

What happened? I stopped watching about 2-3 episodes into this season.

Anyone else notice Alex is getting a bit busty...and they are trying their best to hide the fact?

Can anyone recommend a decent hard drive enclosure that will hold at minimum two drives? I see plenty of these on NewEgg that range anywhere from 80 bucks up to several hundred dollars. The reviews are all over the place since buyers tend to rate stuff 1 star because they're ignorant. For...

For me it's a question of what can I do on a Mac that I can't on a PC? Formyuses, I can't think of any one thing. To add to the conversation, I have traditionally built all my PCs but, honestly, I'm at a point where I don't care about overclocking anymore so I'd almost say to hell with it...

She's in Fox'sThe Following. Probably won't be seeing her anytime soon.

Question regarding the speed of light: the speed of c is lower through transparent materials (say, water). If light were to pass through this medium then re-enter a vacuum does it accelerate back to 186,000 miles/sec? If so, where is it obtaining the energy to do this? Furthermore, can a...

Well, I think it's a common trait for sociopaths to "cut their teeth" on animals. I thought the pilot was decent. Although the serial-killer "following" is similar to The Mentalist's Red John. But, a reader on TWOP made the comment that sociopaths don't operate that way. They are...

Yeah, Grimm is a great show. I love Nick and Monroe. The girlfriend's eyes continually freak me out, though.

Jesse? Is that you?

I'd go for hyper-intelligence. I'm talking crazy smart -- intellect that would make Newton, Einstein, and Tesla look like blubbering idiots.

If you want to be King of Flatulence then try:

Why kill Grace, bring her back, only to have her die later? This series has trouble satisfyingly closing its seasons. It's like they should have ended it 3 eps back but the producers ran to the writers and said, "OH SHIT! We need 3 more episodes!"

My all time favorite is Kubrick'sThe Shining. I always watch it on Halloween (as well as Simpsons Treehouse of Horror I - V) Other favorites are The Thing, The Myst (really love this one, actually), Blair Witch Project, Prince of Darkness, and Christine. I really dig a lot of the horror...

Yeah, let me know how it works out.

Any suggestions on a newsgroup service? I use Giganews but a lot of shows are being blasted off within a few hours of posting. Shirley there has to be a server situated in some third world country where copyright laws are ignored.

How is the "snappiness" of OS/X? It's been a while (i.e. few years) since I last fiddled with a Mac, but at the time it felt rather sluggish. Despite Window's flakiness (which 7 largely fixed), I've always been impressed at how fast Windows is. You especially appreciate it when trying to run...

You ever hear of the saying, "You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."

You know, I kinda wonder if Steam could simply release a "gaming" Linux distro targeted towards a specific hardware spec (kinda like Apple Macs). By sticking to specific hardware components they could build highly optimized drivers -- no need to support every combination under the sun. If...

Anyone remember this one?

I have a WDTV Live. I just set up a Samba/Window share off my Linux box and play away.

Oh, I see you have Dungeon Explorer too. That also was fantastic! The TurboGraphx/PC-Engine also had a Zelda clone. Anyone remember what that was?

I fucking loved Blazing Lazers. Yeah, the TG-16 had some fantastic games. Heh, I remember getting the TurboCD add-on with Y's Book I & II -- I called up a friend, held the phone to the speaker exclaiming, "It TALKS!". Haha..it was only red book audio being played.

You know, it amazes me how video game prices have stayed relatively the same throughout the decades. I distinctly remember Sega Genesis and TurboGraphx-16 games going for $49-$59 back in 1990. Nintendo 64 games were clocking in at upwards of $79 back in the mid-90s. I think I recall Atari...

I'm sure this was mentioned on the old forum and isn't particularly new news. But for those that aren't aware -- we have the potential for an AMAZING comet viewable in the northern hemisphere late this year (2013). Current projections suggest it may become brighter than the full moon. Comet...

I loved the shit out of this game on my Commodore Amiga 500. It was a 3D space simulator and, IIRC, had a fully working solar system. You could fly from a planet's surface into space, come to a halt and watch as moons orbit around planets and planets orbit around their star. I also remember...

What's the difference between this and Rebirth?

Wait! Haven't seen this one yet. Got this for Christmas '82 or '83:

I just finished season 1 last night and I'm pissed off. I enjoyed the shit out of the show up until the end. What a horribly disappointing conclusion. I haven't read any of this thread, but my understanding is that season 2 does not have any relation to season 1? -- other than several...

Wasted a crap load of money on this one. Even still, it has my favorite 2D-fighter of all time:

Yeah, mostly as an e-reader and videos. I have a couple of hours to blow between end of work and start of class so I decided to sign up for a couple of Coursera courses -- I want to be able to watch the instructor videos. I'm not really interested in using a tablet as a note-taking device...
