        (let's try this again) Mom's on a streak lately - she's been super nice, more than normal. - kelly Apr 14, 14:03 12
        
        Maybe what's gone on in Will's family (even if she's not getting the whole picture) has made her change her ways a bit? -- nm - mara Apr 14, 14:12 2
        
        Could be. - kelly Apr 14, 14:17
        
        Metz family drama: Bringing other families togethers since 2008. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 14:17

        she wants a grandchild -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 14:04 7
        
        she already has one. :) (besides, she wants me to get my diabetes on track first, she's in no rush) -- nm - kelly Apr 14, 14:07
        
        She'd be one of those hawt Grandmas too. Kelly's mom has got it going on. -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 14:05 5

My friend just facebooked a photo of these weird statues of a pride of lions that just appeared by the Tower of London. - Amy Apr 14, 13:41 3
- I thought them metal. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:42 2
  - The mane on the one is oddly fluffy. They are sorta creepy, right? -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 13:44 1
    - Hmm, you may be right. AT first I thought it was that blue oxidized metal but they may be stone. - Spawn Apr 14, 13:48
The "Can You Run It" website doesn't make any sense. For RIFT is suggests 2.0 GHz and says I fail with 2.3. Um, whut? -- nm - Qale Apr 14, 13:40 6
- Maybe you don't have enough ram? -- nm - lileve Apr 14, 13:43 5
  - That's a different section. It suggests 2.0, I have 1.9. So, hardly a crisis. It also fails in the video card saying I should have at least a 5400 or - Qale Apr 14, 13:45 4
    - Mighth be pulling data from an old data base. No clue -- nm - lileve Apr 14, 13:48 2
      - I tried some other games on the list and it doesn't seem to like them either. It could be accurate. I don't really need an MMO anyway. -- nm - Qale Apr 14, 13:49 1
        
        MMO is an addiction I don't want. -- nm - lileve Apr 14, 13:53
    - I don't actually have the game btw. So I don't really know if it will run or not. -- nm - Qale Apr 14, 13:46

    - the one in Anderson? -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:44 8
      - Yep. My friend Carissa want to. I wanted to do the Warrior Dash, but it's in August and it will be too hot. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 13:46 7
        
        You get to do this and I get my week of Batman! -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:49 3
        
        7 days vs. 1/2 day. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 13:51 2
        
        Sounds about right. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:52 1
        
        But I will settle for the four of us going over and staying with Jim. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:53
        
        I'm in. -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:46 2
        
        3 miles, a dozen obstacles, and free beer at the end. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 13:49 1
        
        easy peasy. I wanted to do a light one starting out to gauge where I am with my foot. -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:51
  - are you going to do that? -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 13:37 12
    - talking with my nephew who just did one. We're trying to get the whole his brother,sister, 2 cousins his dad and my other brother to do it. -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:45 11
      - my friend Nicole is doing it, but she's a hardcore triathlete. I don't know how long these things are. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 13:45 10
        
        12 miles. This particular one is designed by Ex-British Special Forces...and each course if different. My nephew... - Remlik Apr 14, 13:47 9
        
        Nicole is doing the one in VT. I checked the site but it doesn' tsay how long. - loosilu Apr 14, 13:53 8
        
        they are all 12 miles long. -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:54 7
        
        oh, hell no. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 13:58 6
        
        those courses are designed for teams not for individual....it's a 'no man left behind" kind of thing....so it can be done slowly if needed. -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 14:05 4
        
        she has a bunch of ironman buddies. they're kind of scary. - loosilu Apr 14, 14:07 3
        
        video of the course.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 14, 14:07 2
        
        have you tried running yet? - loosilu Apr 14, 14:08 1
        
        yeah I can't run yet. I can speed walk, but running is just a bit to much. Another month or two. Biking a lot though -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 14:13
        
        she'll do it, though, no problem. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:59

Kotaku rumors: New Nintendo Console Debuting At E3 This June... "will be more powerful than 360 or PS3" - stewie Apr 14, 13:33 14
- if they don't have the games at lauch to move it (a New Mario Kart or Zelda) it aint gonna matter -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 13:36 1
  - Obviously it requires a Ridge Racer. -- nm - Qale Apr 14, 13:57
- More at Game Informer: "Nintendo is doing this one right," said an anonymous source. "[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii." - stewie Apr 14, 13:35 11
  - Given the sales and the fact the other 2 consoles have come along to match Nintendo's Wii offering, I wouldn't call that a gimmick. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 13:37 10
    - I'm on the fence about the long term of motion control gaming... it's certainly secondary to the continued advances in online connected gaming -- nm - stewie Apr 14, 13:47 6
      - I'm fairly surprised this took off. - Mel Profit Apr 14, 14:34
      - /introduces Extreme Fence Sitting 2011 -nm - EA Sports Apr 14, 14:09
      - We'll see what they learn in this new Wii, but as it stands, I think they are in better shape then the other 2. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 13:53 3
        
        Ninty's failed at every single step with online play. I have absolutely 0 faith in them being able to put together an online portal. -- nm - Ender Apr 14, 14:02 1
        
        Their overprotectiveness is what failed them when it came to online play. -- nm - Qale Apr 14, 14:05
        
        I'd disagree with that... the serious gamers have already picked a side between 360 and PS3, what are they gonna do to make them switch? - stewie Apr 14, 14:02
    - Just because it was a successful gimmick doesn't mean it wasn't still a gimmick. - Ender Apr 14, 13:41 2
      - to be honest I think the Wii is a bit of a failure. Sure they sold consoles, but they lost the game war itself..... - Remlik Apr 14, 13:52 1
        
        The sales figures say you're wrong about this. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 14, 14:36
Argh, my day just got Remliked. I've apparently had a fairly large hole in my shirt all day. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 13:31 2

- Yeah, he is riding my bench. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:43 2
  - that sounds vaguely dirty -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 13:43 1
    - the number of things that you say while playing FBB that sound dirty are amazing. - Mel Profit Apr 14, 13:47

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns movie is in the works.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 14, 13:24 5

  - He doesn't kill him, dumb dumb. - Spawn Apr 14, 13:42
  - dumb. It's happened so many times now that it's common knowledge -- nm - sycor Apr 14, 13:31
- Mistake. If something happens and the trilogy actually is the end (which I doubt), this is the logical next. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 13:25 1
