I feel like I'm reading a conversation from ten years ago.

It's alumiNIUM, NOT aluminUM. You damned 'Merican's just spelt it wrong and have dragged this on for hundreds of years rather than admit your mistake. And THAT is why we have better sweets than you.

In what way is Valve connected to this? Edit: Oh right, I take it some of their staff run this blog. Righto.

A very similar thing happened to my fiancée. She almost passed out and had to sit the rest of the movie out. Fortunately I was able to catch her heroically as she fell to the ground (she was on the way out of the theatre.) I then less-than-heroically fell over myself less than three seconds...

That was the only blackout/brownout I've ever experienced. And indeed when I was checking everything out (took me a few seconds to realise everything in the house had turned off, not just my PC) my PC case did feel quite hot. whereas it normally feels cool. I must confess I didn't realise a...

To be honest, self-published works have a noted history of being published and then... nothing. Honest to god I don't mean this snarkily: the best advice I could give is to never self-publish again. Get an agent, find a publishing house, get yourself in with a team who are passionate about your...

I was there for a suicidal person during their darkest hours and they're doing a lot better now. The threat was very real but we can't say for 100% sure whether they'd have killed themselves without me (they say they would have, for what it's worth). Does that count?

It's worth noting that online wifi random battles have you at 3v3. 6v6 does tend to lead to stupidly long matches (unless someone is the clear victor).

Once they're done with uni, they will have lots of biiiiiills... woooooooooooooo. Work that into your campaign somehow. The existential horror will kill them.

The weather's heating up, folks, and I had a power outage today which caused my PC to turn off (obviously). Now this was just a power outage but all the paranoid fantasies of the apocalyptic scenarios that could occur if my hard drive were to burn itself to pieces or something. I don't have...

Probably Diablo 3. I can't imagine who'd want to sink real money on items, there doesn't seem to be any real point to keep playing. Though maybe it starts to cook once the harder difficulty is unlocked. Might give it more dimensions, I don't know.

Does it actually work? Not putting sour cynical cap on, this is a genuine question. It wasn't mentioned whether or not Alzheimer's patients are benefitting from it.

Without having to pay for it? It costs $60.

Playing World of Warcraft as a priest, being challenged to a duel while on a zeppelin, waiting 'til we were out over the Great Sea, mind controlling my opponent and having him jump into the ocean is probably the most bastardly thing I've ever done. As far as I know you can't do that anymore...
