This is a well-written, thoughtful, and articulate comment.

Also a great method for quitting smoking. If you want a cig, tell yourself you can have one in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the urge will be gone.

You don't need anything like that, but angostura bitters are a must-have for drinks like Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, hot toddies, and plenty of other whiskey-based drinks.

Y'know, by just mentioning him now, you have literally put Eli Manning "in the discussion".

Who cares if the guy looks 'poor'? If he looked 'poor', would this have been acceptable? Frankly, we haven't heard from the waitress or manager yet, but if she's being honest and mistakenly thought he was bothering customers and/or selling something, then she had every right to do what she did, no matter the guy's

If I could make this my ringtone, I would.

Yeah, it's about race, because things are never more complicated than one word.

agreed. To be honest, the engine demos from 10 years ago (or more) still look pretty impressive to me. It's a shame you don't get nearly the same quality of graphics in games, though.

I thought the countertops were fine, the mirrors were frosted for some reason, making everything out of focus/blurry. That's a mistake of the designer, not the engine. I thought the large, clear glass vases in the bedroom were a bit off, as was the texture of the orange chair. The drapes were kinda meh, too.

I know - I was making a dig at my gramps, not you. I do believe this was an honest mistake. Grandpa was just an old racist.

Yeah, my grandfather used to call black people "coloreds" - it was an honest mistake.

Oh yeah, forgot it was all a dream!

First Warlords of Draenor, and now this?!?

This video doesn't include the weirdest Mario of all Super Mario Bros 2 ("Mario Bros USA" in Japan).

I didn't know there were Aperture references in HL 2, but I know there were tons of Black Mesa references in Portal. Good point about not knowing how far in the future Portal might be set, however. It seems like they are dozens of potential games' worth of storylines describing Black Mesa's and Aperture's

they need to make some sort of crossover between HL3 and Portal

"Balanced exposure" I think is the best term.

Better pictures aren't necessarily "properly exposed". Sometimes under- or over-exposure is just what the shot needs.

Who makes a calendar appointment to go grocery shopping?
