If you haven't watched the first season on HBO yet, do so. I read about 20% of the book (I use percents because of what my Kindle tells me :-( ) and watched the first episode. I found that first bit hard to read, but after I watched one episode it all clicked. It allowed me to see the characters and put faces on them,…

12 GB of Ram? That's more than all of the desktops I've owned combined (only 3, but wow!)!

Your arms must be tired?

I laughed much to hard at that.

And people who use choppers as personal deep-thrust pushes. A sniper who climbs in an attack chopper alone, flies high and parachutes behind lines only to die 20 seconds later and do the same thing again.

I'm excited for Battlefield 3 and I'm sure that I'll like it. However, I'm realizing that nostalgia is a powerful thing and most likely it won't hold up to the high regard I have for Battlefield 2.

Thanks for your support. I think people get all purist when it comes to this series. X-Wing Vs. TIE was fantastic. Combine all of 'em and it's an amazing series.

It's not really a sequel, it's a re-release or reboot (I know, I know - almost the same)! It's been so long that they couldn't really re-use anything but the game mechanics - and that was pretty awesome in those games. It'd be built from the ground up and it's hard to call a game like that a sequel.

No, just make a new X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter. Just pool all the people making other space combat games, re-hire the people that made X-Wing, TIE Fighter and X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter, and have them make a new one. With unlimited resources. Now.

Does this mean it's geddongeddon!?

Just looking at the one with the take-out containers gave me diarrhea.

They make Dairy Queen games?

Well, hopefully I don't have a day like that! Thanks.

It's one of many politically correct euphemisms used now-a-days. No one will be horribly upset if you say force. See also: "Detention Center" as opposed to "Penitentiary" and "Discipline" or "Correct" as opposed to "Punish".

In terms of a desktop, I'd say it's common for most people to build their own. You get a much better understand of what's going on inside the machine and it's super rewarding. My first build was pretty hard but my second computer I built was much easier. The cords are simplier (SATA over IDE cables) and motherboards…

I think you're the only person in the world who didn't know that shit gets real in that movie.

That flow chart is amazing.

I like to get all Freudian and say that when you capitalize a word by accident (that shouldn't be capitalized) you're secrety suggesting there's superiority in that thing.

Ah, I remember spending my summers in high school like that. In elementary school, it was waiting for my Lego Magazine. I'd look for it ever day. The thing was so small it only ocuppied me for 20 minutes. Kids are sooo lucky to have the internet.

After over a year of waiting, jumping through hoops and training my butt off, it appears that I'll be starting the Police Academy on Monday. All that remains is the call to come sign some papers. Assuming the city doesn't suddenly run out of money and cancel the class, I'll be there.
