Huh. I've always use 'sociopath' to denote someone who became that way due to traumas during their upbringing, and "psychopath" to denote someone who was just born that way. I realize I might not be correct, but I'll keep doing so since it's a useful distinction to describe the same end result.

If it was, i'd give you one :-)

It's because the word for '4' is a hononym for 'death' in most chinese languages.

Uh, from what I can tell, the PC people are butthurt because it's not significantly better than the console versions. That still makes it one of the best games ever.

The Witcher 2

I have an iPad and a Kindle, and I can't imagine reading a book in the iPad again. I did when I first got it, but I couldn't read for 10 minutes before my mind would wander - articles, fine, but a book was impossible. With the Kindle, I forget I'm reading on a machine within minutes, and I'm just... reading a book.

So old pastebin is old - and the original post had nothing to do with PSN...

AssCreed meets Psychonauts? I'm there. And kudos to Capcom for creating new IPs, seem them and Ubi are the only majors with danglies these days.

In fact, playing the second video, I would tap my finger every time I thought the piston should appear, and I was dead on every time; I guess this is why my brain ignores my eyes. Guitar Hero inoculated us to this illusion, it seems.

Yeah. didn't work for me at all. Actually, it was the complete opposite; the second time I watched it (after concluding the flashing cube was perfectly timed), I could logically see that my eyes were actually telling me that they were misaligned; yet my brain was still telling me it was perfectly aligned. So, the…

That first pdf comparing crime rates in the US and Europe over time is HIGHLY suspect; it plots between 7 and 5 European countries per "Europe" graph, and not always the same ones. I have no idea if this is the case of course, but to me it looks like a prime example of cherry-picking your data to fit your theory. How…

Uhm... Isn't tethering built into the iPhone nowadays? I know I just flick a dial in 'Settings' and, I can access "Urabutln's iPhone" as a wireless network... No jailbreak needed.

What, like Shadow of the Colossus? Yeah, that was awful...

It's pretty good, but the most evil thing I ever heard of was taking a pic of your kid, digitally aging that photo to age 15, and then framing it.

I actually had to google "the Baining" before I was convinced this wasn't an elaborate prank targeting Romney ;-p

The article's right though - TVTorrents is by far the best. It distributes "ownership" of torrents to alpha users, so no torrent EVER dies. Try finding original, still-seeded Dallas seasons on EZTV (which is admittedly my 2nd choice for 0-day stuff).

Phew, me and my wife were actually thinking of naming our daughter Arya, but as we're both white and from Sweden, we felt the name might be misconstrued.

Does that make Pikachu Uncle Tom?

It's not anti-christian, it's anti-authoritarian. Let's face it, if the God of the Bible existed, it'd be our damn duty to find and kill him. The guy is a complete dick, who ironically would NOT get into the christian heaven. Jesus was a righteous dude, his dad not so much. So go on, be a good Christian, kill God…

Huh, interesting to see it laid out. It's one of those things I've always just done, not really knowing how or why. Advantage of learning to drive on a stick from the start, I guess.
