I think the current proposal for the slopes isn't steep enough. There's hardly any space left at the bottom of the pit.

I'm going to be in the UK around the 7th of september for http://2012.dconstruct.org/ in Brighton. So maybe we can meet up before and/or after that somewhere?

If you want to experience the interface of the surface you can always install the windows 8 consumer preview. That one comes with the metro interface used in the tablets.

I loved every minute of the first episode of newsroom. It reminded me so very much of West wing (Which I'm currently rewatching. I'm at season 2 episode 17, The stackhouse filibuster). Has Aaron Sorkin ever been a speech writer?

Another cool video: and possibly an even cooler one:

We're halfway there with the pit 'o doom aka twigs folly!

If you do start digging some more in the pit, I built a storage building fora ll the stuff that comes out of this mine. Would be cool if you all would drop off your stuff there when your inventory is full or you're done digging. That way we can reuse that material for the actual structure we're going to build.

Hey Twig, have you checked your pit lately? I think me and tabacco have been digging in shifts or something and it's going quite fast.

Not sure this is the right forum, but since it's a bout books, why not: http://motherboard.v...re-of-cyberpunk (Also interesting is part 1 of that retrospective: http://motherboard.v...to-cyberpunk--2 ) (Via @cstross)

So Mad men is having quite the season! Makes you wonder who's next!

That was entertaining & well done!

Is that thing real?

Where are the forum birthday people listed?

yay! (Can the next thing being fixed be the max-width and the ugly hover color on the pagination links?)

This made me smile:

Please don't forget that Snow crash was published in 1992. So do keep that in mind when you read (or complain about) it being dated or inaccurate. I do have to agree with you all that his endings are almost always rather abrupt and not exactly logical. But the journey is so very much worth it. I mean what is not to love about the books opening:

<hat type="tinfoil">Don't be surprised to get your account hacked, twig.</hat>

yeah it is surprisingly entertaining. I stopped playing the minute I finished the single player game though. Maybe I'll fire it up later when the new DLC update is out.

How can anyone have a bad taste in his/here mouth after reading snow crash? I don't understand what you don't like about that book.

Yay! Sandstone stairs! Is there any news on when they are going to release this?

amazon apparently ran out of keys. Day Z is seling arma 2 like mad

Only Marek doesn't work at Sega anymore.
