Doesn't say much for you, but doesn't say much for that parking brake either.
I strolled into the womens restroom during a hockey game accidentally. Lucky for me it was empty.
I've done that before. Except it was at an Arby's.

Rofl. Freakachu, this is what I'm talking about. Hilarious. I'ma bake you some cookies. And when you say "tip your waitstaff"...? (info/location)?
The term usually means that you should tip (or give them a percentage of what the meal costs) so that they don't feel like spitting into your food the next time they serve you. Mainly it means that you should give a little thanks to the person/people who acted as servants. Not to mention that their paychecks are probably not the best either...

I'm not saying that isn't true, but the fact that it's true doesn't make me any more interested. Without sufficient curiosity to learn about a subject, you really just aren't going to soak it up.
That's why i can't stand how the U.S. teaches science. We don't try to give kids the sense of curiosity and amazement with science that we should be.
God I wish they did that. Then again, I would be an even bigger science junkie than I am now. Not that it's a bad thing though.

Yahtzee is a satirist, not a reviewer. If you use him for anything other than entertainment, you're an idiot.
You'd be surprised. Also, satire is amazing because the majority of what is said is true. If you say that about Yahtzee, then you could say the same thing about Colbert, which isn't true either. So you shouldn't just dismiss what Yahtzee says just because you think he's doing it to provide entertainment. Sorry that you think that way.

I love demos, and its sad that more games aren't employing them now. for every game i can think of that i bought because of a demo, i can think of 20 games that, if they had HAD a demo, i would never have wasted my money on. Got Kingdoms of Amalur, because the demo sold me, but if there had been demos for F.E.A.R., god of war 3, or any number of the fiddly JRPGs that i tend to get, i would have had an extra couple hundred dollars to spend on actual good things.
As for mobile games, my biggest complaint is when they do things like that new tetris battle thing does, where you can buy coins to use superpowers. I've been ranked down so many times by people who are shit at the game, but had an extra 30 bucks to spend on sending double lines at me.
If there's anything Yahtzee has taught me, it's to stay away from JRPGs.

Now for some !SCIENCE!:
Into the Universe with Steven Hawking,
How the Universe Works,
and the classic Cosmos, by Carl Sagan
Are all must see.
Don't forget Through the Wormhole, with Morgan Freeman.
Oh, and all the Nova episodes. Can't forget those. Insanely dry show, but full of interesting information.

Started these forums! Ho ho ho
Indeed, do ho ho ho!

I left it because I had reached the max F2P level. I came back to it because I had been able to get my mom to buy me a subscription. I then left it again when we got WoW. Say what you want about it, at least Blizzard knows what it needs to do with WoW and it does it right.
-
Well, it seems as though most of these things would never happen, so I think I'm going to contribute something that actually has happened to me.
I recently got a car, it's a stick, and I forgot to turn off the parking brake.
Not as funny, but still pretty retarded.

Jagex, which owns Runescape makes me sick. Just more ways to make money, without fixing the game much, just crapping it up more. I'm glad I stopped playing it.
Oh, and offtopic, I've read in the newspaper a few months ago that a little girl who plays a Smurfs game spent over $1400 for just some baskets of smurfberries. WTF, a whole basket could cost up to $50, for just a little shitty SMURF game!
Ah, aren't companies great at milking the children for their parent's money?
Also, has Runescape really gotten that bad now? I knew it was bad already, but not that bad. Although considering it won't run on my computer without the UI fucking up I guess it must have.
-
Horrible, isn't it? Main reason why I don't like to touch games like that. Even worse that there are some f2p games that have the same sort of model in them. Eugh, makes me sick thinking about it.

You forgot Mythbusters. How could you forget them?

can u explain how to do this cos i have no idea
thanks for the reply
Read the stickies. That's how you do this.

Which is Bacon right?
Yes, bacon everywhere.

don't do that to me, man. I saw this thread and I was like, "oh shit, time to get the popcorn 'cause someone is butt hurt tonight!" and then I opened the thread and it is not that at all.
on topic, thanks and you're welcome. also, tip your waitstaff.
I thought so too, and you guys are pretty amazing. The shit you have to put up with every day would eventually drive a lesser mortal crazy and would cause them to commit murder on all the idiots of the world. While that is an exaggeration, don't let it take away from the meaning behind what I just said.

After experiencing a few games like that, I've started sensing when you have to give them a constant stream of real-world money to gain full playability, and absolutely refuse to partake in such insanity.
Also, I may be judging a book by its cover, but isn't the content of this game exactly what everyone would rather AVOID during whatever spare time they can gather? The real world of monotonous jobs, politics, and economics sucks for most people. Having 2 semi-meaningless existences as the worker-drone for a larger company doesn't seem much more fun than having only one.
Kinda like the Sims? Never got the appeal of that game. You're not really doing much of anything. Sim City, however, is completely different.

My "2-hour build time/game-breaking p2p features/p2p currency" senses are tingling
Those are some pretty good senses to have, where can I get me some?

You could give the original Half Life a try. Pretty hard near the end, but it's part of gaming history. Play the addons for it too. May as well play Half Life 2 and its episodes while you're at it.

I like trains.

I do that sometimes too, when I know I will get keller'd for that post or even probated.
Once I wanted to post a meme (gasp!) and I read the rules before that, so I quickly /q'ed the tab.
That's probably one of the main reasons why I close the tab and not post. Because the response is either going to get me into trouble, or it's too cruel for my own tastes.
Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who does, and that there are so many people who do.

BB isn't the only Bukkit plugin that provides rollbacks/etc (assuming you mean the BB I think you do).
BB as in Big Brother, then yes, and we are talking specifically about it because it seems to be the most used. Also, I think the treeing of griefed things works the same way on other rollback plugins too. Unless if it is a chunk rollback and not a player rollback, in which case, the trees don't matter.
-
Sometimes when I reply to a topic, I enter in what I want to say, and then I just close the tab it's in. On purpose. I don't know why, maybe I think that it somehow telepathically sends the message to the people in it, but I think more often than not, it's something that contradicts with my flavor text under my avatar, or it's something that could possibly break one of the forum rules. Either way, it makes me feel better for some reason.

I can stitch together four 2560x1600 monitors and would have around 17x more pixels on screen than your average console title. When taking CoD stuff to comparison, that runs at 1024x600 resolution the difference is even greater.
Also, whoever told you plugging your PC to TV gives you low resolution had no clue what they were talking about
Like I said, it was a few years ago, so that may have had a factor in it, and even then, it was only a casual mentioning of it, so I don't know what exactly they did, and it was also over a game chat, so there really weren't any details.

Default install size of Fallout 3 + DLC: ~8-10GB I believe
With a "bit" of tuning and mods: ~45GB.
It's basically the same game but in a form that is so immensely better than it's not even funny.
I used to have all three of current-gen consoles but pretty much the only things I ended up playing on them were the exclusives and a rare local MP thing. PC's are simply so vastly superior in every way. Before you bring in "but I can play on my couch!" then I can say I do that on my PC as well. All you need is willingness to build your setup.
Or they say you can play it on a really big screen. And then you say, yeah, I can too. Although truth be told, I heard that plugging your computer into a TV screen gives horrible resolution, but I heard that about two years ago, so maybe it's better now.

That's also true. But still, tip your waitstaff, you don't want them to spit into your food next time you come because you didn't tip them.
