I dunno, I still think I would prefer Gandalf's staff. With a light. Including a regular finding your way in the dark setting, an "I will risk a little more light" setting and a "BLIND ALL THE ORCS!!" setting.

I am certainly less attracted to shooters than I once was. Partially it's because of things like this, though I agree that video games do not lead to real-world violence.

We are not at war with Pakistan.

Borderlands 2 gets my vote. "Dam Top" actually made that whole area more difficult for me because of the panic it helped to induce as it blended with the sound of the loaders. Elsewhere, it really lends a space cowboy theme to the whole setting.

"Control every aspect of our lives?" That's why Democrats are anti-gay, anti-abortion, and want to force science teachers to teach religion. Oh, wait, that just may have been the other big party.

Perfect, I've always needed a 40 pound lantern based on a dead battery from an appliance that has burned out violently and released toxic fumes into the office. Great idea!

Our house has a rather large walk-in closet with eight (!!!) power outlets in it, but has no light or ventilation. The master bedroom itself only has three. For a while we had thought if my company goes to a work-at-home system I'd use it as an office.

T-Mo customer service beats AT&T's every day of the week. Call quality is fantastic. Reliability is fantastic. Speed (if you happen to be within 4G coverage) is awesomely fantastic. And their phone selection is pretty great if you don't care about Apple, and I don't.

Imagine how much better this would be without LCD Soundsystem.

Normally I would say, disrupting communications as part of a larger operation makes a lot of sense. But given how networks tend to get overloaded for a while during natural disasters and other events anyway, I don't think this would really have much of an effect.

Most *gamers* are not 17 year olds with Call of Duty obsessions either, Captain Stereotype.

I saw we nuke the plane from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

My 11 year old car has a CD player in it with no aux input, and I haven't replaced it. And some musicians still only release things on CD.

There was one, yeah. I was in the next-to-last stage of the Svanir's Dome event when it hit, and people cheered despite the timing preventing us from actually finishing. Couldn't get back online right away so I let it download this morning.

I'm diabetic, and generally, nothing spikes blood sugar worse than carbs. Controlling my blood sugar is top priority, and losing weight is second. I find I can do both if I limit carbs and don't get stupid with fats — but any meal should have all three in some combination.

The Xacto knife is the only thing I use on the Artifact, and it's not that good honestly. Or maybe I just need a different tool at work.

Zer0 is the most annoying of them all. The haiku is kind of funny at first, but you want to kill him yourself when he says the "trap card" line for the 43rd time in the past hour. My favorite really is the simple "I disappear."

I was practically ordered by a friend to play Suikoden. I didn't really enjoy it much, but I ragequit when I got to the bit with the Hobson's Choice about drinking the (obviously drugged) tea.

We should of course expect this kind of trolling from someone with your user name.
