I saw RotJ with friends at a midnight screening (and yeah, they were actually at 12:01am, you lightweights — you don’t know how good you have it with “midnight” screenings at 7pm) and still had to sit in the very front row because it was so crowded. And about when the ewoks showed up, we got the giggles. At first it…

The easier levels are fairly easy (this is from the web version). The harder levels are insane. The thing I really like about N is that there is no leveling-up. Your success is entirely down to your skill, not how many hours you’ve spent grinding.

Gomi’s corner corner could have thrown in the towel. I appreciate refs who stop fights with pinpoint accuracy, but I’d have the refs err on the side of letting the fighters go in most cases rather than cutting it short, and leave it to the corners to protect their fighter if they think they need it.

There's also the fact that the Tesla is hauling an extra 500 pounds down the track.

Not Mike, Robbie, and Chip? </pedantry>

The Hawaii Mars carried 7,200 gallons (wikipedia), while the DC-10 carries 11,600.

Nothing less than a season, and up to life. That video is damning. He's not in the heat of the moment, he's treating her like she's dead.

This could easily be explained: the Chinese were engaged in their own spacewalk at the time of the first pass of debris, and all of them died. On the ISS, several astronauts were killed in the first pass of debris. The remaining astronauts immediately tried to evac, and that module failed. The second worked, and…

Definitely. I've read both Salem's Lot and The Shining. They're both scary, but Salem's Lot is the only book I've ever read where at times I had to stop reading and put the book down to focus on reality for a minute.

"Who Goes There" was awesome.
