Parties in your apartment building are only cool when you're throwing them. My girlfriend's upstairs neighbors are throwing some kind of mega-blowout tonight, and it sounds like they're playing basketball up there. I'm too old for this shit.

Jeez, it's not even 11pm, people.

Jesus.

Really dumb question, but is there a way to refresh in Classic view without going back to the beginning?

Agreed. I think the nice thing about how it happened with HIMYM was that it neither really helped or hurt the show; they didn't need it, but it didn't really do anything.

I liked when NPH went off about how they didn't need to resort to stunts like inviting Britney Spears on the show....and then CBS got to him and suddenly he was all "I am very excited to work with Britney. She is very talented and you're all going to love the episodes much like all of the other great programming…

Except I would say that shows like How I Met Your Mother manage to combine the football in the groin with well-written scripts and well-constructed plots; it doesn't have to be a choice.

Ouch. Way to close tags, idiot.

I figure if I don't watch Blu-Ray, I won't know what I'm missing. My tv is only 1080i, though, so a PS3 didn't make sense, and I bought it before the insane recession price drops, before you could get a 40-inch TV for like $800. Still, though: Gears? Might be the most fun I've ever had with a game.

Wait, ABC bought Scrubs, a show that hasn't been funny or original in years, but killed Pushing Daisies? FAIL.

Also, regarding HDMI cables (and any other cables): www.monoprice.com is the best site on the internet. They're the reason I have a box with literally every kind of cable in my closet; I never worry about not being able to fix something.

And red rings or no red rings, the 360 is the way to go. GOW2, and the sports, obv, are way better than anything else.

GREAT commercial re sportsmanship...

But if he's unwilling to even communicate, that's douche-like.

tAke a portable radio to the kitchen and start to cook something — good or bad, the smell and noise will distract him enough to either get the hint and be respectful, or leave to another room...

Your roommate sounds like a DOUCHE.

Since when are the Beyonce commercials back?

Not that I really know what's going on with this game, since I'm stuck streaming it online because the roommate is, again, watching CNN (and talking to his wife on speakerphone) in the living room on Saturday night. For crying out loud.

Good work, Tech. Just keep giving up penalties. That'll work out well.

I'll say this, though: one of the reasons I bought from Best Buy was the 30-day return policy, because my biggest concern upfront was getting a TV with a few stuck pixels and either a) having to ship it back and forth, or even worse, b) wind up getting screwed because lots of warranties don't cover stuck pixels if…
