Is anyone else here frozen with ridiculous anticipation for the Oculus Rift.  I didn't order one, but should be able to see one a week or so after they start shipping.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to order one then.

Which... brings me back to Bioshock.  If I already had a next gen console, it would be harder not to drop $60 on it.  But I don't, and I don't have a gaming PC that would do it justice.  But if

1. I get a Rfit

2. Inifinite supports Rift

3. I get a beefy PC to match my Rift...

Then I'll get Infinite for PC.  Splinter Cell 5 be darned.

Isn't the History Channel considered largely unreliable?

Historically, yes.

The History Channel!

Ba-dum-tish!

Most of the time I prefer the WYSIWYG editor, but from time to time I find myself needing the simple editor.  If I get halfway into a post before I realize I need to switch editors... well, it's a pain to switch pack and forth. 

How hard would it be to put a "switch editor" function on the 'make a post' widget?

Alien is about men getting raped.  (And the woman survives)

MacArthur Park is really about a cake, which is really about his relationship with his girlfriend.

As a cheap gamer and big Starcraft 1 fan, I wasn't thrilled with the distribution of Starcraft 2: WoL as 'a game that will always be full price'.  I eventually got it for $10-$15 about 6 months ago (2.5 years after release)and started playing it.  I'm almost done and have really enjoyed it... but it kind of sucks that it's mostly just Terrans.  I am looking forward to HotS, but I figure it might be when the Protoss expansion comes out that HotS will be inexspensive.

So no... I don't have it.  :(

lolz

I was thinking that earlier... if it was... that's pretty lame.

fariasj,

How about now?  They do indeed require 7-zip or something like that to open.  You will need all of the files before you can open any of them because they will unzip into one DVD.  It's fairly common to do that instead of putting one 4GB zip file out into the wild.

I know someone else was able to download all the pieces and unpack them... so I hope you find the same success.

So OTCon in Tenn? :p

No.  All OTCon's must occur in my kitchen*.  It's in the by-laws.

*In Denver.

Science doesn't need to disprove the existence of gods or god-like creatures. No evidence exists for them, there is no reason to assume they exist

Earth?

The credits for the movie teased something was going to happen last fall.

Did anything happen?

My guess is that because the current generation was so fragile, that it's a mistake they won't dare repeat next gen.

They'll make all new mistakes (or really old ones we've forgotten about).

lol, now it looks like xhonzi has lost his marbles.

YOU ALL SAW IT!*

Don't speak out agains the mods, bkev!  Or they'll make us produce bricks without any straw!

CP3S said:

Xhonzi, how did you figure out that it was a reply to this post?

I know all of the posts in this thread like the back of my hand.

Actually, it made little-to-no-sense so I was curious if it was a reply to post #1.  My tenacity took me through post #3.

Frink:

Bots always reply to post 3.

True?

Planet of the Apes is about white man's fear of losing control of the planet.

It's a reply to post 3, in case anyone was wondering.

Wish me luck! (all of you 0* people who really care)

I have found that this sentiment doesn't get people pumped to help folks out anywhere in the world. 

Wut?

Did fariasj and MattMahdi find any success snagging this?

TPM gets thrown out like the baby in the bath water because of Jar Jar which is a fair enough reason but if you ignore his presence the movie is closer to good than any of the other PT movies.

I find Jake Lloyd to be twice as annoying as Jar Jar.  I can mentally fanedit Jar Jar from the movie as I watch it.  He's annoying fluff to be sure, but he's not the main event.

Hayden is terrible at his best, but I didn't find him as out of place as Jake Lloyd.

^Someone kept saying that it would work like that.  That you couldn't judge episodes I & II until you saw III and it was all in context, or something like that.

timdiggerm said:

I don't even understand how that could work.

Forgive the comparison, but the Marvel comic miniseries Earth X and Universe X were like that for me.  Until the ending I thought they were nice compilations of various vignettes that were unrelated... in the last 10 pages they reveal the key to the whole story and you realize what you were reading was all leading up to this perfect moment... and it made the previous content not only all related, but worth twice its sum.

Dark Empire is very well done too. 

 I like to think of Dark Empire as a poorly told telling of a good story.  So I would call it 'has potential' and 'there's a good story in there somewhere' rather than 'well done'.

Unless we mean 'well done' in the steaksense, by which is meant 'way overdone'.
