  1. Wizaaaaaards!!

    Because Toblix continues to do these things and they never make any sense.
  2. Console Certification

    Not this years E3, but last years E3, the Giant Bomb crew had a couple guys from Microsoft on who talked about the certification process for a while. I believe with Jonathan Blow and David Jaffee. It was enlightening, and kind of depressing.
  3. Warthumb: European Escalation

    I've had it since the beta, I just never have a crew to do it with.
  4. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Every day I at least glance at the daily deal. Prior to the introduction of that it was on Tuesday afternoon and Friday evening. Otherwise my Steam rarely leaves the library page.
  5. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Because it's a decent game for what it is? Which is a terrain sandbox, not a godgame as it was billed. Decent, not great. Fun enough.
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    Armin Shimmerman was a guest star on tonights episode of TNTs new series Perception. Weird to see him outside that makeup.
  7. RockStar Social Club - Idle Thumbs

    We should totally Grand Thumb Auto on PC sometime.
  8. Anyone with a DoT is a Lanaya hard-counter, regardless of any other skill. Huskar is the one I have the most problems with.
  9. You want two levels in Psiblades early regardless of lane, then max Meld, then Refraction, take one or two levels of ult until 25, max it last. If you are up against a heavy melee lane. If it's a heavy ranged/harass/stun lane, max Refraction, then Meld. The issue here is that Meld is not a defensive ability, you walk up to the opposing melee lane person, Meld and instantly attack, doing a huge chunk of damage that early. Meld isn't going to save you from Veno/ES. Though you can't be stunned out of Meld, anything that moves you will drop it.
  10. That entire thing has this weird, overly excitable cultish air that is really great.
  11. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    Well I would imagine/hope that there are regulations against that sort of thing actually occurring in milk that is actually sold. Not to mention standard practices to prevent it. I have to agree with Toblix that it sounds like a worst-case-hypothetical to scare people.
  12. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Total War 2: Fall of the Samurai Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition Frozen Synapse Red DLC Payday The Heist 4-pack Frozen Synapse Soundtrack Fray Men of War Collection Risen 2 Bundle Space Empires IV Dungeon Defenders Collection Age of Empires 3 I got off pretty light and surprisingly heavy. Most of those are just getting the games in question on Steam (why I would do that makes me think I'm crazy), but it's still a surprising amount of purchasing since I pretty much own everything I want on Steam.
  13. Uplay

    None of the games GOG is selling had Uplay to begin with.
  14. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    His ego is probably pretty fellated. ...Inflated.
  15. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    Woops. Yes, post. Though enough cats with enough keyboards... I've come to think of sentience as the ability to quantify feelings, hence my statement that some people would be, by clinical definition, not sentient due to various mental illnesses. This definition could be incredibly wrong, but I assume that when a lion eats a particularly juicy gazelle it does not go "This is happiness. I am happy because I am eating this gazelle, and happiness is a feeling I enjoy." It's going (I assume) "Mmmm, gazelle. Yummy. Happy. Happy? Happy. Time to nap." I often entertain the idea that the animal kingdom is full of species more intelligent than us who are just waiting for us to fuck up. Cats, mostly. I don't mean to imply I don't think animals don't deserve respect, or to be treated well. Big Cat Diaries is my favorite show that has ever existed for a very large range of reasons, not least of all big cats are awesome. That said, if it's meat, it isn't going to kill me if I eat it, and it isn't human, I don't really care.

    I thought that was clear with teal and orange.
  17. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    Anything that can read Idle Banter without sticking its foot/frond/tentacle/paw/hoof/anemone/antennae in its mouth on a regular basis. We're all weevils as far as I'm concerned. (This is where I stop having opinions on anything other than games, and consider that a Ban Me If.)
  18. Quite good, this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdO3u6ORlGM
  19. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    You don't kill and eat people. That's it. Even the dumbest, most flammably idiotic person is off limits. If you find yourself a day from starvation with a bunch of fresh corpses around, fine. My definition of sentience would clinically disqualify certain mentally handicapped people from the "Don't eat" side of the chart, but they're still human, and that's what counts. I'll put it this way, I thank whatever omniscient beings may or may not exist that whatever ancestors we had didn't suddenly moralize over killing the local apex predator. My argument is basically a "Top of the food chain, fuck 'em" argument, yes, as well as a cultural taboo one.
  20. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    What do morals have to do with eating meat? Cows, pigs, chickens and horses are not sentient, who gives even the slightest shit? That's completely insane. E: I'm sorry, look, it probably seems perfectly sane to people not to eat meat because of how the animals have been treated or whatever your particular hangup but no amount of discourse or information about how they torture the cow for twenty consecutive moons before roasting it in a light hollandaise sauce as the boy who raised it watches is going to change my mind that you are insane.
  21. Legal rights for dolphins and whales

    You have... a hard time... rationalizing eating... meat.
  22. Movie/TV recommendations

    I am totally and utterly baffled by the ending to Eureka. I know tying up plots is important and all, but to open a whole set of a new ones and cancel the show? Their most popular show? Who the fuck runs that company and why haven't they been fired.
