Why Supermarket Mania 2 is written in bold? I don't see this happen often here. Just curious.

Every game title gets that treatment here... if one doesn't it's an oversight.

TRON Evolution sounds like massive spoilers, why would they do this, no way I am going to watch.

I think that's pretty much what a walkthrough is.

For those who don't want to read the story, contrary to "How could they not?" addendum the report says that in games the difference between having no AV installed and the having the slowest AV tested was still less than 1 FPS. So yes, install and use some kind of AV software.

Of course if you're running a scan it's going to hose your game. Schedule those for when you're gone or asleep.

Which is why a better title for the article could have been: "How much to virus scanners actually slow your system?" That's all my comment was meant to reflect.

So Blue, any plans to check out the Spiderman musical? I've not heard good things...

That is a tough call, as it combines something I love with something I do not (I'll trust it's obvious which is which). I haven't seen any reviews yet, but your reference doesn't help... if I heard that it was really awesome it might hold more temptation (though maybe the Broadway show types liking it too much would be a bad sign too?). On balance I think I'll probably skip it and just pretend the whole thing never happened.

Kiefer Sutherland is like 5 foot 2.
5'9", actually.

"Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high!"

I have nothing against Kiefer, I just can never resist quoting Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

Yikes, time for a doggy door! Sure hope Hudson isn't allergic to her food.

Extremely doubtful. While her diet is mostly poultry (raw, as has been discussed here before), and that can be the source of food allergies for a lot of dogs, she only exhibits problems at one specific time of year, which is from September through November, so presumably it's an environmental effect from the leaves turning or something like that.

Based on your adventure (or more specifically Gunnar's), I trust you follow rule #1 of cat ownership, even with dogs: Never EVER walk through the house barefoot.

We have bare floors, so I tend to follow that rule anyway. And Gunnar is a terror when it comes to going in the house. Hudson, being the wonder dog she is, will hold it in under almost all circumstances, but the Gunnar-man is so uninhibited he pees or poos in the house pretty regularly... if he feels the urge he's just too laid-back to care about his house-training. Thankfully he tends to do this on a mat in the kitchen making for easy clean-ups (except for this vet incident, where four of his five "accidents" were outside the kitchen).

..? What the hell is this about? Any reasons on why my comment is removed? You didn't agree with me on this sensitive matter, Blues? I don't really get it. I honestly don't. What's your beef?

Seriously? Did you forget already what you wrote, or are you unaware of the minimal rules here?

You started off with:

Although a big "fuck you" right back at ya, elefunk.

And wrapped up with:

One last thing for elefuck

The middle of your post may have made for a delicious sandwich, but you enclosed it in some "delete me" bread. I'm really flabbergasted that you needed to ask why this was a problem.

Jesus christ what a degenerate shithole this place is becoming. All that pessimistic moaning going on here makes the sun shine a little less bright, for fucksake.

This is a game website, and you think that posts that complain about games are not appropriate, but posts complaining about posts are?

Your attempt to raise the level of the discussion is not really that impressive.

I already did get to use a courtroom cliche once.

I was answering a traffic ticket and the officer didn't show up. The judge asked me if I wanted to move to have my case dismissed, and I replied "if it pleases the court." He grinned broadly at that and told me "the court is always pleased," and sent me on my way.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is also not mentioned. Fail ++

Fine point, arguably that should have been #1 on the list.

And as I said, since A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More are both standout films, it would have made a fine replacement for The Good the Bad and The Ugly, which does not belong.

Thanks to Dez Bryant, that game ended up a lot closer than it should have been.

Indeed, Dez looks like a budding superstar.

is nobody else confused by the 360/steam referance in this topic? (not that i bought L4D2) on ether platform.

I think it's just a cut-and-paste problem, or part of a template. Almost all patch stories on Steam include that exact wording: "The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:"

I am nearly fully prepared to give Blue's Chili a whirl, but I don't know where to get Mexican Oregano.

It's common in supermarkets around here, and in looking just now I also see it on Amazon.

House last season was actually pretty good but it's really coming apart this year.

Agreed. The strangest thing about House going so completely off the rails, is that this season represents the first time they've truly messed with the formula of what had been one of the most formulaic shows on TV.

Perhaps formula is underrated. The show was always entertaining in the past, and it is suddenly almost unwatchable.

As for the TV shows, no show should ever last beyond 5 seasons. Everything gets stale and tiring after five seasons (many shows get stale before that, but okay.)

I pretty much agree. The trouble is that's right around when the money involved becomes more significant, as you need a certain number of episodes for syndication, so there is a strong motivation for a show's producers to go beyond that point.

Verno wrote on Oct 21, 2010, 11:26:
How has his attitude about it been on air? Does it sound like he wants another one or is he anxious to be off elsewhere?

Mixed. He has repeatedly stated he'd like to continue working, however he has a lot of complaints, including too much work (in spite of cutting back to 4 days and all his vacation time), getting up early (as there is a widespread consensus that he needs to stay in the morning drive), and (probably most significant) money, as Sirius has made numerous indications that they want to pay him less, which seems to be the major stumbling block.

My best guess is that he goes online with it, though the difficulty serving a podcast to commuters in their cars could make that impractical too.

I have Sirius in my car but I've been playing with the Ford Sync/iPod stuff for awhile now so I haven't been following Stern, what's going on? Is he feuding with them now?

His contract is up at the end of this year, and I believe his last new shows will be mid-December.
