@illiniphase4: Politicians don't care because by the time they get kicked out of office it will be their children's problem to find a way to push it off on their children in turn. That's the American way; short sighted, here and now.

There is a blurb about this painting and a bit more about the art show in this Robert Ashley podcast. [alifewellwasted.com] For those who are interested, etc : )

@Modo!: Sorry, just busting balls : P

@jayntampa: More like a grasp on how time functions. The dude quit in 2008. MW2 was released in 2009. It must really pay to be a defensive lineman.

@Vecha: Yea, I should expect that it's cooler than a place that marks its chief exports as humidity and baptists. : P

@Vecha: Pennsylvania. It's been solidly 90+ for weeks this summer.

I don't have A/C at all. I don't even notice the heat unless I'm going into or leaving somewhere with A/C. As such, I hate air conditioning.

@Culebra: I wish I could embiggen/promote this comment. ; ;

Well that further confirms that I need to watch the Through the Wormhole. I saw a commercial for the show and thought they had a fast cut of Will Wright.

@JoeVampire: The NES Maniac Mansion scared me as a kid. I never got around to playing it despite owning it (hand me down from my uncle) until I played Day of the Tentacle. The blood in the kitchen was too much for my 6 year old brain to handle lol.

@Ahoyhoy: Sheeeeit. That's such a horrible waste of money. All the same, as someone who is planning out a computer for FFXIV, I'm absurdly jealous. Yet I'm confused as to why someone would bother with a 256 gb SSD. I'm just planning on picking up an 80gb Intel one for my OS and FF14 and keeping other stuff on a…

@BackdoorBeauty: Because heaphones can reproduce 5.1 sound quite well enough with a Dolby Headphone setup. Setting up a 7.1 system that delivers the same effect is obscenely difficult due to the fact that not every room is perfectly situated for good acoustics and if you move out of the sweet spot in the room the…

@CowboyBebopCrew: Headphones are superior for playing games even if you do have a nice stereo system.

@VincentGrey: I'm in the same boat. I have a bunch of PS2 rpgs that I snapped up, but can't bring myself to commit to. At least I have a very cultured backlog of basically any PS2 rpg someone could want to play.

It's really sweet of Lebron to help make the NBA seem relevant for a bit longer before we are reminded of how much more exciting college basketball is. =/

I'm going to have to disagree simply because the people calling the shots are still the old guard. Japanese publishers are simply too cautious and reserved.

@Twyst3d: All you need to sign up for a forum account is $0 for a free email account. There is no deterrence other than 5 minutes of time. I think that the "hope you got ten bucks" method of forum policing is a great idea unless they can find a legitimate way to attach worth to an account.

I wish they would just ban cdkeys like they do in D2. That would be an easy way to solve the issue... You're a dick, pay $50 if you want to keep playing the game.

@pitseleh0: It's called a quick cut and it stimulates your fight or flight reflex to keep your attention on the tv... blame MTV.

@Kiaza: Seriously I came in here to save a picture of the bunny. Then I glanced at the article and went back to what I was doing. Now that I've reduced myself to a statistic, I'm off to do something else.
