    The part where the chair squeaked at around the 1 minute mark matched Graham's facial expression so well I fell of the couch laughing! Excellent sketch!

    Night Shifts.

    That is my exact work schedule. Use thick curtains or whatever else you have available to cover your windows. The best sleep schedule has been described above; however, because I am unable to come straight home and go to sleep, I come home and unwind for a couple hours gaming and watching some...

    Marriage Issues - Lack of Sex

    Just to make this clear, I am not going into any details; aside from the comments on frequency. Backstory: My wife and I have been married for a little over 2 months now and have only had sex once. I love her very much, but she feels very insecure about her body and because of this rarely...

    Piranha 3D Exec Snaps Back at James Cameron

    I have a few friends that loved Avatar. They claimed that it was one of the best movies ever made. I challenged them to say why and all they could say was that it was awesome. As several people have already pointed out, the story has been done many times before and better. It was simply the...

    Facebook annoyence

    I realize that no one will read my response because it's so far into the thread, but I have a facebook to keep people happy. I actually got rid of it last year and I visited family for the holidays and I was asked by all my relatives where I went. I check it once, scan for any new messages or...

    Good comedians

    Robin Williams (his old stuff may be a bit dated, but it's hilarious! Especially his thoughts on golf), Tommy Tiernan, Gabriel Iglesias, Jeff Dunham, Flight of the Conchords, Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Daniel Tosh. That pretty much sums up all the ones I like.

    Geek Eats

    I was personally intrigued by the choice of using nutmeg on the chips. I personally would swap it out for some freshly grated parmesan cheese and garlic powder, but that's me. The cupcakes looked interesting as well. I'm not much of a dessert guy but I may have to investigate that. Until...

    Trailers: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Gameplay Trailer

    Thanks for the heads up. I love RPG's so I'm cool if it's different. It's just that with most RPG's they have poor FPS controls (Fallout 3 & New Vegas) or they have poor story interaction (Borderlands). So if it's a happy medium between the two I'm all for it!

    Game Dreams

    No REM stands for "Rapid Eye Movement" and is a stage of sleep [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement_sleep]. Lucid dreams [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream] are dreams your have conscious control over. It's supposed to be possible, but i can't say i've done it myself. No...

    Trailers: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Gameplay Trailer

    I enjoyed the feel of Halo, very polished. The thing I had issues with was the story. It wasn't too compelling, there were cliches and I realize that it's to be expected, so it wasn't a deal breaker by any means and I still enjoyed playing it. I am fine with a game having a rather linear...

    Game Dreams

    I realize this may be a bit off topic from the article, but since you did mention it I have to ask. Can what we eat really affect our dreams? (You mentioned them being the result of a bad taco) The fact that indigestion could affect my sleep isn't to hard for me to grasp, but I don't see how...
