  1. I always thought it was Red who gave Orange the tech just as I was attacking.
  2. Wubbles deserved that victory, by the way, no doubt about it.
  3. Hah, no, I just bullied him a bit until I got some fleets into the area and then attacked him because you were taking Spacey's stars and I didn't get the nice ones. He decided to take his fleets to my territory instead of defending, but that didn't take too much effort to counter. Unfortunately I couldn't keep Crane's lovely home star when Mallard attacked me. When you guys attacked me, I rallied my defenses and immediately donated something like four levels of Weapons to Dahle. When he disappeared, I defended for a bit (keeping you at bay but failing with Mallard) and tried to get him to halt his advances and turn to Dahle's stars instead. At that point I would have had the capability to crush you. However, Mallard didn't reply. I had no strategic recourse and the massive bounty of Dahle's unoccupied stars was on the wrong side of the galaxy, making it a matter of time until you won. Or Mallard, I suppose. Getting my fleets from 60 stars churning out ships to where I needed them was a horrible cow-clicky chore which only prolonged the game, so I simply gave a few of my fleets very long orders and stopped playing, occasionally checking what was going on. It still took goddamn ages for the game to end. Oh man, I didn't realize what Mallard's name was until now.

    Well, if you pronounce 'to perfect' with stress on the first syllable, you're doing something very different to most people and vice versa for the adj/adv form. They are always pronounced differently, but your writing system doesn't have commonly used notation for it. I like how words are stressed in English, though, it's way more interesting than our system where every word has stress on the first syllable and longer words occasionally have secondary stresses later. Most Finnish people can't even hear or understand word stresses because our system is so simple.

    The real question is why you write these words the same way when they have different meanings, pronunciations and belong in different word classes.

    Shielding the blades would dramatically reduce the offensive capabilities of the quad-rotor.
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    Hahah, I set up my PS3 again to watch Arrested Development, and HD works. But how on God's green Earth do you turn off subtitles in the console app? This damn service...
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    It's not that. They just don't want to show me Arrested Development in HD, probably to save some server load.
  9. Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?

    I'm blown away, personally.
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, I don't see why Arrested Development in HD would take up more bandwidth than anything else in HD.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    Dammit, I signed on to Netflix for the new Arrested Development, but they will only show it to me in SD for some reason.
  12. Video Games With Dynamic Music

    The original Hitman, although I can't remember what they did with it. I wonder if any game has had actual generative music.

    You just haven't noticed because you're old and your faculties aren't quite intact.
  14. Life

    Woo!
  15. Weird Medical Shit

    Okay, I have one thing. When it's cold and I go inside and warm up, I get a runny nose. Also when I eat spicy food. It's a terrible affliction.
  16. I Had A Random Thought...

    We have those at school, but our teacher recites them.
  17. Weird Medical Shit

    You weirdo mutants.
  18. Dunno. He was a great position politically just before he disappeared. Although I guess he couldn't have known that.
  19. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    Now you know.
  20. Yeah, it's really dragging and our game doesn't have a clear victor yet.
  21. Neptune's pride

    If it arrives at the same time, you don't get the bonus. Otherwise research takes immediate effect.

    Reindeer are not animals, but they taste gorram great. Yeast, on the other hand, is completely made up of animals, tastes weird and is only eaten by monsters.
  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    I haven't seen the new one yet, but they showed a really bad clip before a Daily Show interview a few days ago. Just Kirk standing, yelling at the Bad Guy while avoiding any expression through body language or facial expressions.
