Strongbad, what I consider an exploit is like a pimply faced bastard pulling the Halo disk out of the XBox as a match starts so the game resets and - crash davis Dec 30, 12:08 4
- Understood. - Strongbad Dec 30, 12:10 3
  - Well, there will always be ways to Level Up. -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 12:12
  - I can sort of understand that, but as I was saying to Spawn, its possible for other people to get a kick out of smithing stuff over and over -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:12 1
    - Sure. - Strongbad Dec 30, 12:13

- When she stopped sexting me. -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 12:13
- He didn't like the blonde hair either. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 30, 12:12
- the one where I'm guessing she is back on the market? -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:10 2
  - Nope, - amoxy Dec 30, 12:13 1
    - awesome, I can't think of a more deserving guy - crash davis Dec 30, 12:14
So, the fraud protection last week didn't actually remove some of the charges....so annoyed - Will Hunting Dec 30, 12:08
Spawn, the reason I think Skyrim is so great is the reason you apparently don't - crash davis Dec 30, 12:01 3
- Just reminds me of Hut Tub Time Machine ... The kid doing hard time in Second Life...It's a tough world out there. -- nm - budice Dec 30, 12:40
- Ah. If I don;t *have* to that stuff, that helps. (never played Obliv or anything). -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 12:11 1
  - you can go through the game and not craft anything if you don't want to, but the capability exists for those who like to or want to role play -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:13

- that is where I'm currently hanging out, I bought that overpriced house there and have all the furnishings except the enchanting lab -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:02 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - 25,000 for the house, furnishings, iirc, average around 2,500/room -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:04 2

        Solitude is a great city. Dawnstar and Winterhold seem to be pits to me, even below Riften -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:10
I have a chance to grab some Capital One Bowl tickets...nosebleed section, do I get them? - J Dec 30, 11:59 5
- damn, for some reason it won't let me change countries on the address form....don't think i'm getting these -- nm - J Dec 30, 12:20
- yeah, that's actually a great price. - Kim Pine Dec 30, 12:04
- Yup, without hesitation. - Stephen Dec 30, 12:03
- yeah I would, it's an experience. -- nm - decline Dec 30, 12:01
- Absolutely. Bowl games are a blast. It's an event thing. -- nm - David Dec 30, 12:00
hey znufrii .... i haven't read that story you mentioned in my post below ... is it recommended reading? -- nm - i'm not the Baby New Year yet !!! Dec 30, 11:53 3
- it's not great, but I enjoyed it... -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 12:00 1
  - and you can find it on his website for free -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 12:07
- (thanks for all the responses everyone, by the way ... that's what I was thinking, but had to be sure) -- nm - i'm not the Baby New Year yet !!! Dec 30, 11:54
Jays/Yankees/Red Sox all after Matt Garza from the Cubs -- (link) - Beaker Dec 30, 11:51 6
- Everytime I hear of a deal alleging that the Cubs/Red Sox are involved I cringe. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 30, 12:09
- I just don't understand the Cubs interest in dealing him. We need pitching. Why would you trade your best pitcher. - pmb Dec 30, 12:04 4
  - I think they'll need to be overpaid for him somewhat. I don't think they'll trade him no matter what. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 12:05 3
    - Right, what happened with the Padres/Reds deal is that every team has to be at least explore opportunities. -- nm - David Dec 30, 12:07 2
      - especially when the pitching market gets this thin. There's Oswalt, Kiroda, and then Maholm, and then...? - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 12:12
      - So, have you reconsidered our offer of Adam Jones for Jurrjens, Prado, Heyward, Teheran, Minor and Chipper's HOF hat? -- nm - Orioles Dec 30, 12:11
The one thing we resolved over the past five days is that we're getting a Ford Edge. - David Dec 30, 11:47 9
- If we didn't have a real need for third row seating, Ashlee and I would love to get an Edge. -- nm - Stephen Dec 30, 12:08
- I love the concept of it (and I like that car), but I've heard they've had quite a number of issues with the sync system working correctly. -- nm - pmb Dec 30, 12:07
- Love Ford these days, we're driving a brand new Explorer down here right now and the sync is excellent. -- nm - J Dec 30, 11:59
- I was so sad to give that car back. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 30, 11:53
- I like what Ford is doing technology wise. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 30, 11:52 4
  - The integration blew me away. -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:58 3
    - "Car, tell Tivo #6 to record Glee." nm - Dignan Dec 30, 11:59 2
      - We're not that far away from this. -- nm - David Dec 30, 12:00 1
        
        "I meant *upstairs* Tivo #6, you fool!" nm - Dignan Dec 30, 12:01
What are your top three stat categories in Skyrim? Mine are Sneak, Archery, Lockpicking -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:42 6
- One-Handed 91, Light Armor 76, Lockpicking 70. -- nm - nubby Dec 30, 12:02 1
  - ah, a fighter -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:03
- [deleted] 3
  - I think my Sneak is at 86, Archery around 80 and Lockpicking around 75. I'm at level 36 (but haven't played for a week) -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:47 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - you have to be within range of an enemy (and undetected) for the Sneak counter to start ticking, and unless I'm in a city, I'm sneaking :) - crash davis Dec 30, 11:50
Heh. Pats tackle Gerald Warren may get a shot to take out his high school's waterboy this weekend: -- (link) - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:41
Romney: Obama sounds like Marie Antoinette -- (link) - amoxy Dec 30, 11:34
Ok ok, baby schmaby. Here's this board's actual exciting news. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:29 10
- Nice, Chumlee. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 11:31
- You are welcome -- nm - 10 year old Chinese sweat shop worker Dec 30, 11:31
- I like that you are helping to support his new money leach, I mean wife. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:29 2
  - oh, she'd be pissed if she knew how cheap they were. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:34 1
    - You are just a small part of the mighty Michael Jordan hose which he now showers her with. -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 11:36
- [deleted] 4
  - It was like that scene in Oldboy. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:30 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - shoes need tongues, ML. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:42 1
        
        And souls. nm - Dignan Dec 30, 11:43
Yuerrk. Don't forget to look both ways before crossing train tracks. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 30, 11:29
The Tower Heist -- cost $75mil, grossed $126mil...apparently a 67% ROI is a bomb. - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:28 18
- It was primarily a good article, but that one did jump off the page, even with international revenue being less lucrative. -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:43
- also, does anyone have a chart on the split between theaters and studios? years ago, I knew it was 10/90 for the first two weeks -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:36 9
  - General rule of thumb is 85-92% the first weekend and a sliding slope after that. The balance usually finishes in the 52/48-55/45 range. - David Dec 30, 11:44 8
    - gracias, you deserve to enter Fort Kickass and recite Archer quotes -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:45 7
      - When does the new season start of Archer? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:54 4
        
        January 19 -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:56 3
        
        Okay, had to make sure after our DVR didn't get the new Always Sunny. Make sure Fx didn't change that tag either. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:58 2
        
        Justified is the 17th. That's a big week for FX. -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:59 1
        
        can't hardly wait for Justified -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 12:10
      - *shivers* -- nm - David Dec 30, 11:47 1
        
        Sounds like someone better call Kenny Loggins -- nm - Roger More Dec 30, 11:52
- they said flop not bomb, but that said, I have a couple questions raised by the articles - crash davis Dec 30, 11:31 5
  - 3 - because the studios expects Avatar like numbers/stupidity. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:32 4
    - I could have saved that particular studio a lot of money and told them not to do it in 3D - that makes no difference for folks who want to see a Glee - crash davis Dec 30, 11:33 3
      - Who doesn't want more gay right in their face? -- nm - mop SI Dec 30, 11:34 2
        
        I' -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:41 1
        
        I've must have missed something with Mop on this subject -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:41
- I like that a movie made less than 8 million, though. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:30
okay, ST ... a bit of an oddball question perhaps ... but here goes, ... if there were a total loss of electricity, say for example the power grid ... - i'm not the Baby New Year yet !!! Dec 30, 11:28 12
- the original concept of internet was a loose network of computers sending 'packets' and info would flow like waterthrough this gully or gutter even if - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 30, 12:06
- What a weird question. nm - Dignan Dec 30, 11:58
- Yes, unless the power goes out to the 'cloud' servers, and there is no... - Old Antarctic Explorer Dec 30, 11:55
- to get to the internet and cloud, you need networking stuff (routers etc). if those have Aux power, they run. if not, they don't. -- nm - marcel Dec 30, 11:47
- on an not dissimilar note, have you ever read the Cory Doctorow short story, When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth? -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 11:36
- [deleted]
- Is this a nationwide outage? Internet is dependent on servers and service providers. They all require electricity. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 30, 11:32
- Uh, the net *is* electric, so no. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:31 2
  - well, the e-book version of it. what about the hard copy? - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:33 1
    - Remember playing with a balloon as a child? That it could *never* be allowed to touch the ground? -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:34
- It depends. Can Thor still communicate with Asgard? -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:29
- no electricity = no internet -- nm - decline Dec 30, 11:29
Yo Gabba Gabba annoys the everloving shit out of me, but I can't help but smile watching Declan "dance" to the music. -- nm - Stephen Dec 30, 11:21 7
- You only are annoyed because of DJ Obama. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 30, 11:24 2
  - *snort* - Stephen Dec 30, 11:38 1
    - Too much drug use will do that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 11:40
- how can that awesomeness annoy you! -- nm - CQ Dec 30, 11:22 1
  - obviously he hasn't seen Nikki Flores' dancey dance time yet. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:24
- It's fun to post on ST. It's fun to post on ST. It's fun to post on ST, and this is how you do it! (ONE!) -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:22 1
  - ~there's a party in my tummy, so yummy so yummy~ -- nm - CQ Dec 30, 11:23
Kare on FB: Eloise Rae is here! She was born today at 7:56 a.m.; 7 pounds 4 ounces, 19 1/4 inches. We are smitten! -- nm - marcel Dec 30, 11:19 9

- Congrats to the entire family. Does Eloise have an ST nickname yet? - Strongbad Dec 30, 11:19 7
  - HazelNut -- nm - nubby Dec 30, 11:27 2
    - holy fuck winner. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 11:28 1

    - I reluctantly agree with ML -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:23
    - It's apparently an epidemic in Tamriel, as there are many men who have been afflicted. -- nm - nubby Dec 30, 11:23 16
      - I get a minor kick out of checking the bodies of my foes to see exactly where my arrows hit. So far: right in the eye, twice, in the knee, zero -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:26 15
        
        [deleted] 14
        
        I sort of did a grind to level 70 so I could make glass armor and have stopped. What is the hint? -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:32 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        makes sense, though that is grinding which I promised myself I wouldn't do (and still have done in the case of smithing). I wanted to see - crash davis Dec 30, 11:39
        
        I think this is why the game will never be what I would call "great". - Spawn Dec 30, 11:38 10
        
        Sounds like the Southpark WoW episode where they killed the beasts to get experience points -- nm - amoxy Dec 30, 11:42 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 11:51
        
        SPOILER - You don't have to do that if you don't want to. -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:39
        
        *ding* Exploits like this shouldn't exist. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 11:39 2
        
        It isn't an exploit. It is like everything else, experience gained through doing it. Grinding isn't exploiting -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:40 1
        
        It's gaming the system. It's an exploit. - Strongbad Dec 30, 11:52

        Spawn is channelling pixie -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:40 2
        
        I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. - Spawn Dec 30, 11:43 1
        
        The game is great because you make your own choices. You don't have to do what ML said was a hint -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 11:45
