He's looking for nut sauce, not cock sauce.

When a gaming celebrity name-drops an obscure game, that's pandering to the gaming crowd too.

It depends on the MB/MBP. I have a 2010 17" MBP and it supports audio via HDMI. My fiancee has a 13" MBP (2008 or 2009) and it doesnt, so she has to connect through the TV via her headphone port as well.

Where does one start with airline rewards? I use my Chase Freedom religiously (debt-free of course) because I vastly prefer getting cash rewards since I don't travel THAT often, but I would like to more in the near future and want to have this as an option. Is there a rewards system that doesn't involve a separate…

Yeah, no, those people aren't gonna win shit. I think it's still most closely resembles donation though, in that if you donate to public television you also get nice rewards.

Just pasting a comment I made to another person who referred to Kickstarter as investing:

Yeah investing is giving money in the hopes of getting that money back. Purchasing is giving money with the promise of getting a product back. As someone else has said, giving money with no expectation of getting anything but good karma back is just called donating.

I have basically the same reaction as you, though I will say that aside from ANH, the rest of the SW movies have essentially been independent films, so even if there was a studio exec out there that thought they knew better than Lucas did, none of them had any power to do it (of course we all know how that turned out…

Wouldn't the external drive still need to be plugged in?

Funny how this AT&T and Verizon camera phone review article is presented to us by T-Mobile.

yeah I want more camp too. I was really excited when the first director rumored for the original FF movie was Payton Reed, who had just directed the likewise campy and 60's-set "Down with Love." I didn't necessarily need it to be set in the 60's, but that sense of absurd flirty fun would've been great (I almost said…

It looked off because the first LCD TV you switched to wasn't very good. It had worse dynamic range and response time, with ghosting effects and terrible viewing angles. You didn't get used to it, you just got new and better LCD TV's. If you looked at that same old LCD now you'd still thing it looked terrible. 48FPS…

Fair enough. I actually meant more in that the energy produced by dam turbines ultimately comes from the sun (well everything does, but in a more direct and immediate way than fossil fuels), so while not an infinite resource, it's definitely sustainable, in that as long as the sun heats up the planet and facilitates…

The energy is basically just a more indirect form of solar energy, since that's what brings the water from the ground back up into the air. So there really wouldn't be much of a change other than what's already a concern with hydroelectric dams... that by slowing down/backing up the water flow you're going to deprive…

...I don't think anyone ever really said "man, I really wish iPhones didn't use Google maps." In fact now I can see people who would've ditched Apple to move to Android to keep their google maps go BACK TO APPLE since there's no need to go switch to Android now.

Very interesting, though i would say there's still a difference between 1 and 6 cigarettes a day. But it does seem odd to me, like someone saying they eat one M&M day. I can understand never wanting it, always wanting it, and every now and then eating a whole bag (or smoking a whole pack).

On a purely visual and sensory level, yeah, as a non-smoker I believe it looks (and feels) cool. It's like you're your own personal fog machine.

Agreed. And plenty of sandbox games still have decent narratives, the GTA games do a decent enough (by game standards, at least; at best the GTA game narratives play as pastiches from the crime genre's most famous tropes) job of infusing narrative while keeping the flow open-ended.

One of the biggest disconnects for me with sandbox games like this (especially with Mass Effect, which I also love) is they go out of their way to make the story engaging by creating something with incredibly high stakes and drama, where your loved ones are dying around you, a race against time thriller, and then have…

Not all that familiar with the Pa Kent mythology, but was this dichotomy between his philosophy and Jor-El's ever dilineated like that in the comics? I have to admit it's something I never thought about and I'm still not sure if I buy it, but it's novel and I'm willing to give it a shot.
