PHJF wrote on Jan 24, 2012, 11:08: I actually don't read anything in anyone's voice, or at least not often. It has to be a catch phrase, something I've heard said a million times before so I know *exactly* what it sounds like.
Hhheeeyyyy, I had PBJ for dinner last night (I haven't had PBJ in a least a year). It depends.
I read a series of novels (Dresden Files) which the TV series introduced me to. So when I read "Harry's" dialog I imagine it in the actor's voice. Another person I know imagines it as James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) since he was introduced via some books-on-tape which James voices.
Comics (DC and Marvel), I'll often "hear" it in the voice of whoever is my most favorite / known voice for that character. Like Kevin Conroy for Batman, Mark Hamill for Joker, Dana Delaney for Lois Lane, Christopher Reeves for Superman/Clark, RDJ for Iron Man, etc.
Some other iconic stuff (like the earlier-mentioned "Good News Everyone") I might also hear in that character's / actor's voice.
But for generic stuff... not often. I hear it as my "reading voice" which is a lower-tone than my normal talking voice.
The same goes for the Morgan Freeman thing, I heard it as my normal reading voice until I laughed and decided to read it as Morgan. |

it is sad we didnt get much snow this year. but on the upside the kids will get off school early this semester since they have not used snow days this winter. Here in Jersey, after that freak storm at the end of October I was expecting a lot more snow this winter. I'm not ashamed to say I'm a little disappointed in the mild winter.
We're at the end of January and have only had 1-2 winter snow falls and the fiasco in October/November.
The snow over the weekend was nice, but it's all gone today after last night's rain. |

nin wrote on Jan 23, 2012, 13:34: I'm extremely tempted to check it out, but what worries me is they're already having problems finding all the material. Apparently in the case of the sampler disc, it's only 10 seconds or so that's upconverted, but I'd like to wait a few seasons and see if they keep that to a minimum, or if it's something that happens every episode.
Having said that, the rest of it looks amazingly good, and I'm really looking forward to it, provided they don't fuck it up.
I'd be more psyched about it if I hadn't seen the whole 7 seasons so frequently over the last few years. A bunch of different cable channels had "Star Trek: TNG" on rotation to the point I've probably seen all 7 seasons two full times in the last 4 years; with a bunch of other episodes like 4 or 5 times. SciFi, SyFy, Spike, BBC America, and I think some OTA networks were airing them at one point.
At one point they were taking up a hefty percentage of my DVR's hard disk.
Maybe if they're still available in 5 or so years I might see myself picking them up... but the episodes are still too fresh in my mind.

Though I have to disagree with some of that list, there are mustaches and then there are beards. Having a full beard shouldn't really count towards having a big mustache.
As for Tom Selleck, I recall a stretch where he shaved the thing off. I think it was during a run on "Friends" and "In and Out." Man he looked weird. Not WEIRD weird, just "Hey that guy looks familiar"
Fortunately it returned again for his later work.

Silicon Avatar wrote on Jan 20, 2012, 11:55: The drivers in my town are crap. I've been hit 2 or 3 times now. Anytime I think about getting a newer car I remember that some turd driver is going to turn it into a junker anyway.
About 6 years ago I bought a brand new Cadillac CTS, the sporty model (but not the CTS-V). All the features.
My first new car; all my priors were 10+ years old. I babied the thing.
My first week of driving to work, some b*tch hits me lightly from the back at a light. I don't mean I stopped short and she hit me... I'd been sitting at that red for a while. I pulled over and tried to flag her down but she kept on going.
Fortunately, there wasn't even a dent or a scratch. Had there been I would've reported her to the cops for fleeing. I was pissed, but not enough to waste my time with the cops over something I couldn't prove and didn't leave mark.
So fine...
The next week I come back from BestBuy I see a gash in the paint on the driver side, with a shopping cart sitting next to it.

Quboid wrote on Jan 17, 2012, 11:54: I can't say I'm crazy about the blackout. I hate SOPA and PIPA but this seems like the thin end of the wedge for a form of political activism which I really don't want to see. Yes, it's for a good cause. This time. Everything is ALWAYS for a good cause at first.
Typically, it's "think of the children!" or "the terrorists are out to getcha" For a long while, it was the children thing.
And it's usually always open-ended enough that it can either be used "whenever" or it wouldn't take much tweaking to be allowed "whenever."
And of course, if you're a politician against it then eventually some commercial will come out around election time saying they're against children, neglecting to mention the other "things" the bill proposed.
The "best" is when they attach a rider that has nothing to do with the rest of the bill.

Ugh, home sick for 3 days, now doctor says I should take tomorrow off as well since I'm still contagious.
I love my Commodore (I think 128). It's what introduced me to computers, which became my career. I also had a huge amount of games for that thing.
As for pure gaming machines go, it's my 2nd favorite (after my SNES). Including my various gaming rigs over the years. |

Dev wrote on Jan 2, 2012, 09:24: Actually if you do a little research you'll find most states have archaic obsolete laws that are still on the books, and some are worse than that. Lawmakers seldom bother to repeal past laws regardless of how silly they are, they are too busy trying to think up new ridiculous ones. Yeh, there are some real old / wacky ones out there. A quick Google for a source found me www.dumblaws.com
Some random New Jersey ones...
It is illegal to delay or detain a homing pigeon. It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season. All motorists must honk before passing another car, bicyclist, skater, and even a skateboarder. It's illegal to wear a bullet proof vest while committing a murder.
But all states have them. Some of them are hi... lar.. ious.
Texas: Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos. Georgia: The term “sadomasochistic abuse” is defined so broadly, that it could possibly be applied to a person handcuffing another in a clown suit. Kentucky: One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once. Kansas: No one may sing the alphabet on the streets at night.

This is pretty much how I go about my normal gaming. I play something for the enjoyment of the game. Not because some developer says "oooh you should achieve this!!!!!11!" I'm not a fan of achievements / badges / feats / etc unless (A) it gives me something or (B) just seems cool or interesting or (C) I find out I'm accidentally so close anyway I might as well finish it.
Like "fine, I'll slam dunk the basketball in Deus Ex" because I wonder if maybe it will trigger an Easter Egg. But I won't go out of my way to do something unless I was already trying for it.
Something like DC Universe Online gives you feat points, and after so many feat points you get an extra skill point to put towards a weapon or stat bump... so that has some meaning but only until you're done with the easy ones. Finish this hard raid in less than 25 minutes? Umm, no
Especially since most of the time it's just to show off your ePeen (I finished 1000/1000 achievement points)

I don't really believe in resolutions... because nobody really keeps them anyway. They make too many outlandish resolutions that, if you haven't come close to doing it anyway, then promising you will (with some liquor in you) isn't going to happen.
On occasion I have made vague ones: like I'll try to do THIS more, or THAT less. Those are relatively easy to keep, partially because I've been considering them for a while and already started the ball rolling.

If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account. You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe. And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas.

If soccer floats your boat then rock effin' on. For me and most Canucks and Yanks I know it's more boring than watching paint dry. Don't get me wrong, Soccer isn't my "favorite" to watch... I'd much prefer Hockey.
But given the choice between watching Soccer and (US) Football... I'd choose Soccer. More of a constant stream (sometimes trickle) of action as opposed to very frantic stop-and-go stop-and-go.
Case in point, I've watched maybe 15 minutes of the Superbowl over the last 4 or 5 years. Maybe 1-2 hours over the same 4-5 years.
