Never heard of Graham Parker and I know my music.
Troll bait?

I'll pass on getting a "luxury condo" in that building.

I can't tell if you're chiding him in seriousness or fun. Longest I ever lasted was 8-9 hours straight, but that was with nothing but pee breaks. It was the wow raid from hell.
Mostly in fun. But I mean come on... more than once I've gotten wrapped up in a game and looked up to realize six or more hours had passed. Although an actual marathon lasts less than 10 hours, in this context I find the use of the term an exaggeration.

Oh yeah, ever see Failsafe with Hank Fonda?
One of my favorite films. Black & white, no music, and yet incredibly dramatic. Unfortunately it got overshadowed a bit by Dr. Strangelove, Fail-Safe was the better film.

My biggest marathon ever was maybe a 10 hour Civ game once.
Wow, that's pretty wimpy. Even just an all day session on a non-work day would be longer than that.

Huh! I'm a sucker for time travel books, so I'll toss that in the kindle pile (currently 96 items, 4 pages ).
Yeah, I like time travel books also. Replay is pretty good, I've reread it a few times. You should check out the TimeWars series by Simon Hawke, if you can find them.

Did you read the book Stephen King book 11/22/63? I really liked it. Although the JFK part doesn't really happen until the end.
Interesting. Reminds me of a book I did read, Replay by Ken Grimwood in that book the main character also attempts to stop the Kennedy assassination. He manages to get Oswald arrested prior to 11/22 but someone else kills Kennedy in the exact same way.

A nationwide "common channel"? Are they expecting a coordinated attack at all airports across the entire US? Even if employees did know how to use it, only 20% of the radios where properly programmed to do so. It isn't only the agents carrying the radio that are the problem here.

I might actually go into a Gamestop and pick up the panda expansion for $20 on Black Friday. Hopefully they'll be all out of it so I don't have to waste any more time in WoW. grrrr.
The urge is building up in me to jump back in after being out for a a bit over a year now. The 4 day holiday weekend is coming up and I don't really have a game to fill the time currently. Or I might just cave and stop waiting for a price reduction on BL2...

Everyone knows I'm virtually always right on these calls.
You and El-Rushbo, eh? Right 99.5% of the time? Which crowd-funding failures did you properly predict? I would look through your post history, but I suspect it would be a wild goose chase.

The Chronicles of Riddick is one of my favorite guilty movie pleasures. It doesn't seem to get a lot of respect but I think it's an excellent film. The third film has a lot to live up to IMHO.

Finally, we know we're selling a lot of extra ships in this final drive… so: if we reach $5 million, backers will have lifetime free garaging for their ships. It's hardly fair to ask you to buy extra ships to reach our stretch goals and then turn around and charge you in-game credits to keep them around.
That has me a bit worried. Continuing costs to keep ships? Might be ok, might be really bad news.

You know what I find weird? That they've already decided that the manual will be 42 pages....
A joke maybe? I'm always suspicious when I see "42" on anything these days.

You know I hope you birthers stick with it. I have no facts to support my belief, but I suspect the most effective thing you do is get people to leave the GOP.

Do you have amazon prime? It looks like it's free there, too.
No, I don't. We broached this subject in another topic, I believe the end result was a consensus opinion that Amazon's selection of "free" (being a member of amazon prime) streaming was worse than NF's selection.
