I was just saying that Yeezus could almost be the soundtrack to HM2.

Yeah, like the others are saying, first grab the trophy on the right. Creep up behind the right fountain and poke your head out quickly to lure one of the panthers close by. Bludgeon. Then, get ready. Lure the other one. (I do it slowly, since he'll stop in his tracks if you hide again.)

Ooh, there's apparently one about 5 miles from me. May be a field trip tomorrow, if it weren't going to be 114°.

"Remember, Montero was hit opening the 7th inning."

Haha, A-star, would read again.

I HATE J.J. Abrams so god damn much. If he just retired and went into obscurity I would likely explode from elation.

Oh god is that Jimmy Smits?

I loved 3-in-1s. Still have about a dozen packs of them. They're great for packing if you think you'll need detergent somewhere and don't want to deal with it. Unfortunately, they never really saw the traction they were looking for, and a bunch of people moved towards the pouches, so too did they.

The earliest versions left oily stains. This was resolved as they continued production. I used them for a couple of years, from early samples through production and later versions. It was definitely a resolved issue, in my experience.

Strictly speaking, I don't think the second goal in a 2-0 game can be considered the "game-winner", but damn that was impressive.

TNT is still cable, right? Standards/FCC aren't gonna bother them for something like that, and TNT clearly doesn't mind verbal feces all around from their broadcasters.

A spoonful of regular sugar has worked for me literally 100% of the time, even with the worst hiccups.

On that note, SimCity 4 at least had "My Sims" which would live at a consistent place and work at a consistent place, instead of behaving in a way beholden to a deranged sort algorithm. I don't know if every Sim in your city did that as part of their modeling, but your individual (and importable from The Sims) Sims…

Pretty well one of my all-time favorite calls in all of sport. "OH, IT'S INCREDIBLE." Seriously. Nothing makes a great moment of screaming at the television better than a truly great call to listen to over and over again on replays. Ian Darke, man.

It's clearly an April Fool's/viral campaign with Oakley. Oakley Oakley Oakley. But it's a damn elaborate one, so that's fun!

Because there's no carrier like the Uncarrier.

I mean, I understand where you're coming from there. But there's a bit of false equivalence going on too, I think. My understanding of the concern of the impact of plastic grocery bags is that it's a waste issue and an animal health issue due to their inappropriate disposal. Multiplied by the millions and millions of…

Also, Christo is usually insanely fastidious about fully recycling/reusing to eliminate any environment impact his art has. He did that with the Gates and no doubt he has a plan for the balloon. His giant umbrellas did kill someone, though...

Yeah, that's fair. I'm guessing it's a combination of things, mostly involving management not allowing their infrastructure to be anything but proprietary and wholly owned by them, but maybe they're wising up and using some cloud resources... Maybe I'll pick the game up around Black Friday when it's $25 and people can…

Use a third party cloud provider for excess capacity for the initial rush. Build an Amazon Machine Image so that you can run your game servers on Amazon EC2 high-capacity instances. Spin up 200-500 of them. Have a plan in place to transition saved cities and regions to other servers as they grow dormant and as you…
