My nintendo was in our furnished basement which used to flood often. After one such flood we had one of those cone shaped air fresheners with the gel inside to help the combat the musty smell. It was around the time I first rented Friday the 13th for NES. Everytime I smell one of those air fresheners I remember this…

Contra with a second player and the cheat code isn't hard at all. One summer back in the 80's my friends and I made it a goal to beat the game first thing before we did anything else. Every morning around 10am we'd meet at my house, beat contra, then go light fires in the woods like normal ass kids.

Agreed, I recently upgraded for a new computer build. I decided to roll the dice since it was cheaper than buying a copy of Windows 7. I agree with everyone that Metro is jarring on a desktop and a super weird design choice when most users are business users, but it can be easily ignored.

"the computers in the same police station are illuminated with loading screens for Deus Ex: Human Revolution for some reason."

I mean, he could be, I'm no expert myself and I don't really follow the pro gaming stuff too much. But from what I've seen of pro player videos they don't get mad about randomness as it's a built in factor of all card games.

It's not even free, you get to pay $15 for the privilege of being a beta tester. I don't get the whole thing myself, but if people are into it and it helps out indie devs that cool, but just seems destined for abuse.

He's probably mad because he's not good enough to win without using a pre-built deck and by the numbers play style he read about on the internet. This is in my opinion the worst part about hearthstone. I wish more people would try to come up with their own strategies, but that's the nature of pretty much everything…

If I'm not mistaken that's exactly how it works already, this guy has 2x cards in his hand and was unfortunate enough to draw the other version of each he mucked. Nothing broken, just slightly bad luck and not really an awful starting hand. I'd take that over getting a 10 mana card on turn one or something.

Thank god nobody at the game actually saw this.

They're the worst. They used to just ignore you if you walked by with headphones, now all the little fuckers try and get in your way and wave at you or shake your hand. The whole thing is a giant MLM scheme anyways, it's rubbish and I wish the city would shut it down.

Well I'm pretty sure the intention was to knudge them towards Sansa had they not reached that conclusion themselves. She fled the city right after/during his poisoning while the Red Viper is still there. Also his method of poison is by lacing his sword before battle, and is a legendary fighter. It's not exactly his…

Dontos showed up to take Sansa away while people were still confused about what was happening to Joffery. He knew immediately what was going on which means he was part of it and he wouldn't have pawned the necklace.

This was my problem with WoW, everyone would already know how to beat each boss, where to go for what item etc. While I did still often have fun grouping up for quests/instances etc. I could never shake the feeling of how much more fun this would be if every one in the group hadn't already run this instance 5 times or…

I bought a bag of skittles for the first time in years a month ago and had the same WTF? reaction. On their own the green ones are okay I suppose, but you can no longer shove handfuls of them in your mouth with reckless abandon because the green apple doesn't go with any of the other flavors. Someone needs to get…

I love those marketing quips, especially when they're taken out of context.

Love Drop Dead Fred, and I can probably say when I saw it as a kid for at least a few days it was probably my favorite movie until the next movie I saw. That's what makes this question tricky, favorite movies change overtime and kids are a stupid and love everything.

If you're not really going faster than second gear there isn't much point really. But if you're going faster than say 40mph it's a much more efficient way to slow down and stop by throwing it in 3rd gear and letting the engine slow you down a bit before you apply the brakes. Don't you feel how hard you have to brake…

It depends on what version of Outlook you have but generally it's under the preferences File menu->options->mail subsection. There should be a group of checkboxes under the heading "When new messages arrive:" Uncheck "Display a Desktop Alert" and you're good to go.

I've heard that often, this is one of those subjects that's still hotly debated. Half will swear you should never downshift to slow down, the other half will claim you always should, some will say it depends. Opinions constantly shift back and forth almost as much as the debate about whether or not eggs are good for…

4. Close your Outlook or at least turn off pop up notifcations. Can't count how many times I've seen an exec giving a powerpoint have an email popup with a summary that should probably not be seen by the entire company. I'm often tempted to email them during the presentation with the subject "Downsizing Friday 10am -…
