  1. Thinking of Stepping up my video card

    Usually you get BIOS error tones if your GPU is dead :/
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    Is that an off hand put down of Hot Fuzz? Fighting words.
  3. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Everyone knows it should be getting drunk and having sex with a stranger.
  4. Minecraft

    But why do that when a ton of people have already paid to beta test the game?
  5. Life

    Put some of any sugary liquid at the bottom of a soda bottle and add some soap to break the surface tension. It'll attract and drown them.

    If you see the first season, you get to experience the feel of the show, see that lovely introduction at the start of each episode and in general you will see what the show is about. There are a couple of stand out episodes later, but in general the show doesn't get any better later (but it's often a lot worse). As for the effects budgets and such, the less you see of that the better. It's not like they are ever good, so the show is not at its best when it's showing off special effects.

    Yeah, these past two episodes have been pretty bad. "Good Man" suffered from all the red shirts that sprung up from nowhere (and other stuff) and they both suffered from having River Song in them, "Hitler" obviously a lot more. Watching "Hitler" made me realize how little I care for the character, but usually her influence isn't strong enough to offset how awesome the past two Doctors have been. Also, the mystery of their relationship was somewhat intriguing, but the mystery is gone and it's just shit. IMO everything about "Hitler" that wasn't River Song was pretty great, especially the future people and how they put Hitler in the name, brought him in and then did almost nothing with him.

    I've seen all of Red Dwarf, but I don't think you really lose much if you just see the first season.
  9. Deus Ex 3

    I bought the regular edition on purpose. I hate starting a game with my inventory full of gaudy shit with no history.
  10. Good Old GOG

    Hah, mine totally ate up my life for its entire duration. Teaching is pretty great, though. I'll be teaching English as a Second Language, so it's a bit different.
  11. Good Old GOG

    Kolzig, it's probably. Sorry. I'm going to be an English teacher in a year.
  12. Deus Ex

    It's a prequel, so no DX or IW stuff has happened.
  13. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I see a serious problem regarding traction.
  14. Deus Ex 3

    I'm thinking they realized they were on thin ice legally. They probably thought no-one would care or realize, but once people started talking about formal complaints to the EU...
  15. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Jesus. That's something.
  16. Steel Batallion: Heavy Armor for Kinect

    But no mech in any mech game would ever work. This is madness!
  17. Books, books, books...

    Huh, I can't even remember it being slow. Thank you for reminding me of the book, though, I should check out if the author has written more books! EDIT: She hasn't.
  18. Portal 2

    I found this on Play.com for 16€ a while back and finally got it. Just finished it. It's odd to be disappointed by something that is mostly excellent. I loved all the detail and backstory and everything, but the puzzling aspect is really lacking. There wasn't a single one that was in any way satisfying. I almost wouldn't call them puzzles. You just follow the clues Valve put in the environment until the game's narrative runs out.
  19. Feminism

    From the post I initially replied to you seemed to be very particular about the sense in which the word should be used (the biological definition). But perhaps we have been talking around each other.
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    Oh no, I think you wrote the names of the movies in the wrong order by accident!
  21. Feminism

    Hrm, no. I'm talking about the concept of race in the context of human culture and how its existence cannot be denied. It's a part of us much like nationality or religion whether we like it or not.
  22. 'Gibbage' from Size Five Games

    It's very good for what it is, but only for people with friends. Gibbage would work great as an XBLA title IMO.
  23. Feminism

    I decided to read that as not referring to my quote but his first paragraph :x
