You think a 14 year democratic Congressman from TN who died in 1866 is cool? Okay.

Cave Johnson the president of Aperture Science, not Cave Johnson the unknown Tennessee Congressman from 1866. Come on!
They must be the same person. [grin]

Alright this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So word of advice: if you meet yourself on the testing track don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time - entirely. Forward and backward. So do both of yourselves a favor and let that handsome devil go about his business.

A console core game eh? Why isnt this in the consolitis news section?

With that said, a big FU to Creative Assembly for this console only title from me! Thanks bye.

There is no way to say from what's been revealed so far that this is a console-only title.

It's weight sensitive and clamps shut when a squirrel goes on the post.

That sounds like my last feeder, which was responsible for a local squirrel obesity epidemic.

The feeder that probably would be the most effective was the one I couldn't bring myself to get. It has a battery-powered base that spins when too much weight is applied, which flings the squirrels, but this seemed far too potentially dangerous for my tastes (I'm still getting over the guilt of having killed that mulberry tree, and seeing the stump still hemorrhaging sap is not helping). Of course this doesn't bother everyone, as the bird-feeding store owner mentioned I wouldn't like hearing how many of his customers, like a certain crime-fighter who frequents this site, shoot the squirrels with BB guns. I just want them to leave some seed for the birds.

Repeat after me, "There is no such thing as a squirrel-proof bird feeder." I've pencilled into my bird book sightings of the common bushy-tailed flightless bird. It's so common that the other birds just ignore them unless the squirrels start hopping around.

Well, we'll see. This one has a very long and wide cylinder for the seed, and a flat perch on the bottom on a spring that will give out under the weight of a squirrel, so it doesn't seem to offer them any access. It seems pretty fool-proof, but as has been noted, those squirrels are nobody's fools. I'll be happy if it just slows them down, as whenever one managed to thwart my other "squirrel-proof" feeder I would find him latched onto it like a leech, seemingly inhaling seed.

My mother has 3 of the thistle socks (filled with niger/thistle) hanging under a tree which get an average of 30 goldfinches hanging around it all day...it gets kinda noisy with that many. If you have them just outside your window then be prepared to be woken up every morning at the very instant that the sun shows itself.

This feeder is also for niger seed, with openings small enough that they don't pour out, in spite of being so tiny. I'm told the squirrels don't like that seed so much, so hopefully between that and limited access, they'll leave the finch feeder alone, as it has no squirrel defenses at all. As for noise, our yard gets pretty loud all summer, so I don't know this will be an issue, but I guess I won't be able to say for sure until it happens.

Guys minds instinctively go into analysis mode even when all control is taken away from them, I would bet Blue you were thinking your way down the whole time, assessing the situation with every snap of a branch. ;)

I do think you're right. It didn't strike me I didn't make any noise until MrsBlue said something about it. But I do distinctly recall spending a remarkable amount of thought on how not to get hurt, considering the time I had to solve that problem was a fraction of a second.

All the requests prior to this post should have gotten their keys already, so please make a follow-up post or shoot me an email if you were expecting a key and did not yet receive one.

If you haven't requested one yet, not to worry, there are plenty more.

I'll be the naysayer. No games are perfect. Even the games I've enjoyed immensely (Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Faction: Guerrillas, Star Control II, and others) have had their issues.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perfect

I won't argue the subjective underlying premise, but to be clear, I am using perfect in the sense conveyed by the first definition: "conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type: a perfect sphere; a perfect gentleman." I think you are using it the way most people do, by the fourth definition, which does not describe my intent: "entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings: a perfect apple; the perfect crime."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but The Wonder Dog is what...6 years old? He's young enough to have more of an adventure than sleeping in your backyard.

She's actually about four months shy of her 11th birthday!

Also, I read this:
Last night I nodded off on the couch
as meaning it was your fault that The Wonder Dog was left out...give yourself the silent treatment and perform family service as a punishment, but it doesn't look like you should hold any animosity toward Mrs. Blue.

Oh, it was completely my fault, sorry if I gave the impression it was MrsBlue's. Hudson forgave me right away though. It certainly does seem she had a fine old time.

I think the same is true of Hudson, she is big, fearless, and can handle herself. She likes being outside, and often naps out there, so I'm sure she had a fine old time. Still made me feel irresponsible though.

Why don't you fix that "too long word" issue, that prevents posting URLs?

The "issue" is intentional, as lengthy URLs break the format of the forums.
