  1. This. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/top-5-with-lisa-foiles/2493-Top-5-Sexiest-Glasses I'm all for a beautiful woman, but when they insert said woman into a games related role when there's an excellent chance she doesn't actually play said video games. . .yeah. Anyone else bothered by this? I tend towards being (primarily attempting to be and failing to be) chivalrous but for hecks sake. . . (There's a chance she does, I don't know her, but, well. . .) Bb0SK07sibg She had a video up on "World of Worcraft Cattackaclysm" (Not joking, that is how she pronounced it) but it seems to have vanished. I will now go flog myself for potential assholery.
  2. Insert Appropriate Title

    Fair enough.
  3. It's nearly Christmas...

    I am blown away. My mind is shattered.
  4. Cataclysm

    If I have to watch the commercial one more time, I might get a little stabby.
  5. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Yes, if I'm going to speak with the damned Queen. I'm fairly proficient at using accents and do a fair impersonation of most people (though there are some I just can't get down), but she's just being far too taut for my liking.
  6. It's nearly Christmas...

    This needs to be the name of our IT Christmas Song. Or I'll make a verse for it, at least.
  7. Eric Chahi's Project Dust

    I said "Hey. Dust looks like a new Populous, right on!" in the E3 thread, and my feelings continue in that vein. Even more-so now that I hear it's on the PCs.
  8. Life

    This and QuakeCon are two things that bug me immensely about being a "Texan." I live in El Paso, which is as far west as it is possible to get and still be in Texas. By all rights, I should live in both New Mexico and Mexico itself. So I always hear things like "DragonCon!" "QuakeCon!" "Various interesting intellectual conferences!" And then up comes my driving issues, and it all just goes to pot. So maybe! But no promises.
  9. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Three things: 1. The agility of cats always astounds me. 2. That's very interesting behavior in that .gif "They've gone off the edge! 'Ave a look then!" 3. I've been doing this very heavy Cockney accent all day, and I can't stand to be in the same room with myself. Why haven't you English folks purged them yet?
  10. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    And my second favorite JoCo song is now even better. Unpossible!
  11. Cataclysm

    That made me realize Garrosh may not be a complete asshole. Just a really thorough one. That said the was amazing fun.
  12. Dungeon Defenders

    I was all on-board for this, up until the point it got delayed 'til "sometime in January" On my "maybe" list for now.
  13. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I had to stop at "In case you ain't noticed" Edit: So I watched up to :45 and had to stop again, but I have a sneaking suspicion I know why the rate of suicides goes up around this time. . .bitch.
  14. An Idle Thumbs Christmas Song Proposal

    I might be down. Depends on how shite my mic is.
  15. I dunno. I was playing DEFCON with Thompson last night, and was reminded quite forcefully of how well a cut down art-style can work. Admittedly, I'm not sure it would work as well for Subversion (in fact, I would prefer graphics in the range of, say, Jagged Alliance?) but I do agree that things are a little muddled in the art department currently.
  16. I watched the whole thing because damnit, it's interesting. If they can pull this off, even sans major graphics, I would be not only impressed, but thrilled. This looks like something I could chew on with my brain for a long, long time.
  17. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Quite enjoying this, YMMV(As Always) 3NP7-jX8tv8
  18. Frozen Synapse

    100% Recommended I'll even shoot you in the pixelface, if you get it.
  19. Christmas Cards

    And then TP goes and makes me feel like a jerkhole. Yeah, I tend to generalize the younger peoples of this (Middle) Earth, but I tend to be right. At the very least, I don't run into many that spark any sort of non-dislike in me. (Possibly because I'm an asshole and people don't talk to me in the first place? ) But there are many, I'm sure, who do useful shit with their lives, I just don't meet them on a day to day basis. I'm more likely to meet "sk8er punks" or something of that sort.
  20. 6plinter Cell

    Co-op SC:CT is the best co-op experience I have ever had. Period. Parenthesis. Exclamation mark.
  21. Christmas Cards

    Young people tend to have a great innate capacity to turn me into a crotchety old man instantaneously. Snoogle and Thompson seem to be some of the few that do not do this. Hurray, maybe all of our children won't be rubbish.
  22. Gaming In-Jokes

    Oh, Jesus, what have I (burned) done?!
  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    So about American Top Gear Tanner Foust - :tup: Other hosts - :tmeh: Content - Essentially what Top Gear UK has already done. Lack of Clarkson, May and Hamster - :tdown::tdown: I might watch it on occasion for Foust, because he's essentially the Amercian Hammond, but otherwise it's not on my "must see weekly" list.
  24. Gray Matter

    Doot-do-do-do-du Also. World of Darkness, the Adventure Game?! Count me out.
  25. Gaming In-Jokes

    Oh, Jesus, that's horrible.
