I went Wild Card, too. It's amazing how many people assume it's a bad end purely because it has "anarchy" in its summary. My one regret about it, though, was that I completely forgot to recruit Arcade. I was just like "Oh, hey, this must be a companion, I'll come back." I never ...

The issue with fostering respect for skilled labor on par with people trading on their intelligence is that it's the people trading on their intelligence that have the most influence on our philosophy, and who are more often singularly important to developments in society. I'm not saying it's imposs...

Scott Pilgrim vs The World might be my new favorite movie. I'll have to watch it again after letting at least a few days pass to be sure. The comics are alright. I read through up to the point they had been published when I first heard about them, but I haven't really kept track since then. They're ...

I'd like to point out that December 11 would make the birthday 12-11-10.
...except it would actually be 11-12-10 or 10-12-11. Yaknow, in the calendaring schemes that actually make some amount of sense.

I'm sorry, you'll have to speak up. I can't hear you over the sound of how AMERICAN I am.

Went for the Wild Card ending of New Vegas. I viewed them on YouTube beforehand, and actually the NCR ending seemed the better one, but the truth is that it just takes a hell of a lot of work and some luck and timing to make the Wild Card ending good. Most of the ending stories are completely indepe...

I'd like to point out that December 11 would make the birthday 12-11-10. Only a few people in a century get chances like that. You must make it so.

Sinfest is good, but it goes off the deep end from time to time. Especially during the '08 election, it got horrifically anvilicious.

That and its lack of an RSS feed keep it off my list of regular reads.

It got mentioned on Bill Maher's show tonight, and even there it was sort of brushed over. He referred to them as the prison lobby, as if calling them a lobby makes them a legitimate organization. This country has a mindset where business interests are equated to individual citizen's interests, and ...

Can I just rewind a bit and ask why people aren't absolutely outraged over the prison connection in Arizona? I mean, literally, a private company bribed at least one elected official to put through legislation that turned Arizona into a police state overnight, and no one seems to mind. People flippe...

I'm not saying we should bother engaging with the Tea Party - I think it would be a waste of time. I agree that they should be marginalized, but they should be marginalized because their arguments are foolish, irrational wastes of time. Allowing ad hominem attacks, even valid ones like racism into p...

You don't identify it by name - you identify the actual behavior. Don't say to a Tea Partier, "You're a racist", say "I believe that you think there are undue associations to be made based on a person's ethnicity". The point isn't to argue with the label, it's to argue with the b...

Alright, the first time I came back to see your reply, I stopped at the words 'by definition' - that phrase is a pretty strong red flag, and I'm hoping that by the time I'm done we'll have come to an understanding as to why. If racism is linked to the scary, violent people in the robes, by definitio...

Janus%TheDoorman

What. You countered Jon Stewart's assertion that the threat posed by Tea Party racism is different from the threat posed by KKK racism by calling it a "grand liberal alternative" and a "Cult of the Moderate"? If you think Tea Party racists are just as bad as real racists, it's on...

Well, that didn't take long. I've run into a snag in New Vegas that illustrates a fault with the faction system. My Mark of Caesar doesn't seem to be working properly - the Legionnaires and Caesar himself still beat the hell out of me at their Fort. Even when my status with the Legion was neutral, t...

The number of quests packed into the Strip was a bit overwhelming the last time I was there, but man, this game has quests falling out of its ears. Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was just me misremembering how many quests you might juggle at once in FO3 but, man, there is always something to do in the...

Janus%TheDoorman

Played a bit of New Vegas. Far enough to get into the Strip, anyway. It's obviously very similar to FO3, but it has a very different feel in a lot of ways. For one your character feels far less central to what's going on. FO3 seemed like a world where everyone was just struggling to get by day-to-da...

Well, at least I'm intentionally up late tonight.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's explained later on, unless I'm getting my piggies confused.

I can never keep a straight face during comedic delivery like that, and I can't imagine what he was going through trying to get through that. Respect.

I seem to be bouncing back at forth, going to sleep at 11 PM or 5 AM every other day. Guess which day today is.

Which part?

Mostly the spending 18 hours trying to come up with an animal that starts with U.

You realize that sounds incredibly insane?

I'm not sure what's going on, but if she came to P-Web for help with some kind of quiz or game, I'm pretty sure that's already over the line of honor. I think Marcellus Wallace would have some words of wisdom to share on the matter.

Watch the new Sherlock miniseries from the BBC. 3 90-minute episodes retelling several Holmes stories set in the 21st century. I know how it sounds, but it's written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, and it's pretty awesome. It actually incorporates cell-phones, e-mail and other tech in such a way t...

At least for a while, I think I'm going to be hearing your posts in that voice.

There's a whole subsection of the forum dedicated to the movie. It's tucked in the middle, easy enough to miss, but it is there.

Started playing Minecraft. Started first on peaceful, and used INVEdit to stock up on Diamond blocks, figuring that what I really wanted to do was build super-structures, but that got boring very quickly. With mobs on and just your bare hands to start, the game gets very intense - I'd go so far as t...

The point of the frequent elections was to give the people the chance to throw out an obviously ineffective, corrupt, or otherwise incompetent official. This has not worked as well as one might hope :roll: , but no need to make the problem worse by lengthening the terms. And it's only the Representa...

HI. BILLY MAYS HERE FOR TERRIBLE IDEAS.

I just realized it's been precisely 3 months since the finale aired. Seems like so much longer. The Pandorica Opens - 4/5 Huh. I thought she had jumped time somehow on the first watch through, but it seems it's possible that River's home era is the same as Liz X's. That's a big era, but still. And i...

Hmm. I still feel relatively unsure about my Eagles. The O-Line is complete rubbish, and can't keep the pocket together for more than 2 or 3 seconds. That's the main reason I'm glad we went with Vick, but it doesn't change the fact that he's being hurried and maybe 20% of his throws never have a cha...
