  1. [Sesame Street] I guess we all have to buy a Kinect now...

    Not strictly Sesame Street... but damned funny, none-the-less. Kr9_5uZn6ds
  2. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    That's a great song.
  3. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Hmm. For me, the second video was more insufferable than the first (the first I ended up quite enjoying).
  4. [Sesame Street] I guess we all have to buy a Kinect now...

    Yep. I know what you mean...
  5. So.. Batman: Arkham Asylum

    Damn. The fighting in that game is so incredibly fluid, it's incredible.
  6. [Sesame Street] I guess we all have to buy a Kinect now...

    Well even Sesame Street can be enjoyable for adults to watch... shbgRyColvE HE5RUNGfL_w 1C8nl8eBoq0 And, uh... YHROHJlU_Ng But I get your point. The game's graphics do look fun, though.
  7. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    He's talking about Farmville... not sure I'd agree it's "absolutely evil" though.
  8. Buying a New PC

    Fair enough, my comment was more a remark that most people don't need that much... Obviously good to know if you do
  9. Buying a New PC

    Wow, congrats! That's super-fast. Did you build it all yourself, or did it come pre-built?

    For everyone who's wondering about that reporter: Go to the following link... http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/15/the-serene-branson-video-did-the-reporter-have-a-stroke/ And skip the video along to 2.29. In short: There's no official explanation, but possible scenarios (such as TIA) are explained and discussed.

    Are you sure...? *sinister music*
  13. Buying a New PC

    Really? I grew up playing 8-bit computer games... a 15 wait for a game to load was standard! Hell, I'm the type of guy who sits through the credits at the end of movies. Of course, I don't need to sit and watch Photoshop close for 10 mins... I can happily go do something else, so when I come back, I can play a game uninterrupted for several hours. I can't imagine I'd ever leave apps running like that in the background for other, more idiosyncratic reasons, though: 1. I like my work to be over when "fun time" begins. 2. If it was a demanding game (like Mass Effect) I couldn't help but think that the game could be 2% smoother if I didn't have 3D Studio Max and Photoshop in the background 3. I always shut my computer down at the end of night, so those programs would be shutting at some point anyway. Either way, I think the 8GB recommendation is for very unusual circumstances.
  14. Buying a New PC

    If I was planning to play Mass Effect for five minutes, maybe, but even when I was designing Quad posters on a G4 I could still find 10 minutes to save and close the document... And really nobody should be designing 30" x 40" posters on a G4. Or maybe you were joking? Or maybe there's some other situation I can't fathom.
  15. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    You should watch the video that accompanies the article... the doctor there might make you think about making sure nothing bad happened.
  16. Life

    Oh dear. I'll pray for their asses
  17. Open Outcast

    There's plenty of awfully cheesy things about Outcast... Has anyone mentioned the alien device that "saves your essence", yet? In the alien's tongue it's known as the "Gaamsavv". Lol. (Atara?)
  18. Life

    How's the bubblegum supplies?
  19. Nifty browser games (inc. Flash)

    The Great Gatsby! Wow. http://greatgatsbygame.com/
  20. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I'd love to know the full story behind this... Freaky. Edit: News report on her behaviour... http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/15/the-serene-branson-video-did-the-reporter-have-a-stroke/
  21. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Was she on acid...? Or really, really drunk -- but still managing to function and look awake (with the help of some stimulants?). Or did she just forget how to talk?

    I knew there was a reason I sat listening to the Civ IV menu music... Civilization IV song wins 2011 Grammy IJiHDmyhE1A
  23. Buying a New PC

    I guess it would be silly to run a brand new x86 machine... but there's still the potential for annoying compatibility issues. (Even something as small as your Photoshop filters stopping working.) And, as previously pointed out, the vast majority of applications will not be able to take advantage of more RAM than 2GB... so it mainly comes in handy for multitasking. As more people run x64 OS's, though, the more apps will take advantage of it.

    Wow! Hot Scoops! I love Sesame Street! http://vimeo.com/13895519
  25. Open Outcast

    I'm guessing it's ripped from the original game(?).
