    Russia Tells U.S. to Use A Trampoline to Send Its Astronauts to the ISS

    Well, I've been looking for a place to dump my stupid musing, this seems like as good a place as any. So we know the US government has people they pay to sit around and harass people/push agendas online (I can't find a link that isn't some crazy conspiracy blog, but I'm sure this made the...

    Game of Thrones T-Shirt Leads To Suspension Of College Professor

    A quick browse of the wikipedia article: 7 deaths, no incident with more than 1 death. 3 at colleges, 3 at high schools, one apparently just near a college (and no students were involved.) The college shootings read like regular murders that happened to occur at a school. The highschools were...

    What is your favorite sports team, and why?

    Third reference to the Minnesota Twins! If only the second positive one. Only professional sports team I've ever paid to see live, and I spend far more time on a Twins fan site than is socially acceptable during the offseason. As for why, I spent a lot of time in hospitals with sick relatives...

    Bill Gates Funds Pee-Powered Smartphone Battery

    Alright, so from the paper: using 6.5ml of urine they were able to charge a cell phone long enough for a 4.33 minute phone call. That's not a lot of urine, wikipedia says the average human produces 1 to 2 liters, so scale up to about 150-300 times, which means the average person can charge a...

    Escapists! What is your kill count?

    I hit a homeless guy with my car once. I'm not sure if he died, I didn't slow down (it was a bad part of town). Anyways, I'm in the billions thanks to the Civilization series and all of the nuking and pillaging. If you actually zoom in on the cities and look at the change in population every...

    What's Your ALTERNATIVE GOTY - Injustice Style! [Read the OP, seriously]

    It can be a GOTY candidate from another year? Excellent, because my answer is Arkham Asylum. Just got around to it and it's the most fun I had with a game all year. I actually haven't purchased any of the big hitters yet this year, except for Enemy Within, but that's an expansion pack. Gonna...

    Why wasn't Kingdom of Amalur as praised as Skyrim or Dragon Age?

    I actually broke my controller's Y button playing KoA. The combat is extremely smooth, and that's why I played it as long as I did. Once I bought a cheap copy of Arkham Asylum, I quit playing KoA because while the setting and combat were good, every other aspect of the game was mediocre to bad...

    The 8th generation arrived.....last year.

    Time to fart in the wind. I'll give you my favorite reasons people say WiiU is last gen: To make fun of it/Nintendo, thereby angering strangers on the internet. We gamers are brand loyal (I know I am) so it's fun to create us/them scenarios where we win. And lastly, because a video game...

    Favorite Conspiracy theory

    Time Cube! "When the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth ? known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown. The 4-equidistant Time points can be considered...

    Poll: In-Game Ads, your thoughts

    I think it could work well in sports games. The backstop of the baseball game I'm watching right now has an ad, so there's no reason "The Pete Holmes Show" or Progressive couldn't spend a little to show up in game (though I assume progressive already is, as they bought naming rights to the...

Set up shop at the edge of a warzone and save whoever tons of money to build/ship weapons. Otherwise, an assassin who can create a sword out of...

    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    Abe from Oddworld? Though I guess his motivations are kind of generically heroic... Generic motivations eliminates the vast majority of games and kinda makes this conversation difficult. I do agree that some of his male examples were borderline, I doubt there aren't at least a few other...

    Political Correctness and Halloween Costumes

    That will mesh really well with my Streetwalkin' Stalin costume. I'm going with fishnets and a military dress coat, in case you want to coordinate.
