I've never understood this "vote doesn't count" crap that people pull at every U.S. election. Your vote always counts... Just because you're not in a "swing state" doesn't mean your vote doesn't count. The reason your state is not a "swing state" is because one side votes more than the other... Take a wild guess at how you can help make your state a "swing state".

It's not quite that simple. Check out Oklahoma, where I'm at, for a prime example...

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at... I see polls showing the Republican candidate ahead and Republicans won Oklahoma in 2004/8.

Sitting at home saying "my vote doesn't matter" isn't going to fix anything, it's just going to make it worse. So yes, it is that simple... to make the state less lopsided you have to vote first.

I voted in every one of those - point out where my vote made a difference.

Hell, I voted this afternoon, and it won't make a difference this time either.

I really liked the first game, and I don't tend to like point and clicks.

BTW, has anyone else been having problem with YouTube lately? Videos seem to be stopping randomly between 10 and 30 seconds before it reaches the end. It's fucking pissing me off, even moving the slider back it will stop and jump back to the end. I have to take note of the exact time it stops and move the slider to 1 second past that to see the whole thing.

This exact issue has been happening to me for the past two weeks. Started all of a sudden. Vids will play 70%-80% the way through (sometimes less) then lock up. If I refresh the page, they'll typically restart from where I left off, but not always. Extremely annoying. I can only think it's somehow linked to the new cookie setting that remembers where you are in a vid.

Here's a fun article:
Mobile game fails because it's too much fun, making it easy to get in-game money rather than spending real money. Also: "buy" button too small and game doesn't emphasize real money purchases enough.
Depressing.

Oh, you guys reminded me that I do have a copy to gift.

I'd prefer it go to a good home and not just somebody looking to +1 their game collection.

Ant you don't play games right?

I will take it!! I played L4D2 Steam Weekend on Sunday night!
