        *clapclapclapclap* nm - max, watching the intro Sep 17, 14:54
        
        Seriously! I had a pile of VCRs that were burned out or broken from me overusing them editing The Simpsons. - Krusty Sep 17, 14:48 1

Reagen, from B2, what I'm saying is that the total violence of it may have been unintentional. - crash davis Sep 17, 14:09 2
- at the minimum it's a hit to a defenceless player and a hit *with* the helmet. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 14:12 1
  - I'll grant a hit with the helme, no doubt about that. But this defenseless stuff is what gets me. Its a linebacker pursuing a quarterback. - crash davis Sep 17, 14:18
I don't think AI is relevant anymore. -- (link) - amanda Sep 17, 14:01 32
- Could they have cut it any closer? I don't think the official judges were known until just this weekend. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 17, 14:39 3
  - Considering it starts in January/February....yes? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 14:40 2
    - Considering the auditions started this weekend... like the article pointed out. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 17, 14:55 1
      - you don't audition for the celebrity judges right away. -- nm - diva Sep 17, 15:14
- The problem now is: we are overrun for Idol and Idol rip-offs. - ty97 Sep 17, 14:12 13
  - There's 300+mil...even if we take the jokes on AI, we're still only auditioning a few thousand a year. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 14:14 11
    - I've watched enough of these auditions to think only 15 people in this country can actually sing. -- nm - ty97 Sep 17, 14:15 10
      - you know they'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel when the do American Idol:Idaho Edition! -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 14:17 2

        this -- nm - Diva Sep 17, 14:17 1
        
        And I think this is why The Voice caught on while X Factor did not. - ty97 Sep 17, 14:18
        
        If you ever see me on one of those shows, then you know we've hit rock bottom. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 14:17 3

  - I think your IM is mostly untrue. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:12
- Keith Urban makes sense to pick up the country demographic. Blake Shelton (creepy as he is) has worked well on The Voice -- nm - ty97 Sep 17, 14:11 1
  - Keith Urban was on australian voice. he actually did quite well. -- nm - mafic Sep 17, 14:30
- I haven't watched since the debacle that was Taylor Hicks. But all 3 new judges seem more relevant to the current music biz/scene than Paula Abdul - Diva Sep 17, 14:06 8
  - What was the Taylor Hicks debacle? -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 14:08 7
    - That he won. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 17, 14:09
    - the fact that he won. (imo) -- nm - Diva Sep 17, 14:09 5
      - people vote for it, it is not like they could do anything about it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:09 4
        
        I said that as a point of reference since I haven't watched in a long time and that may color my POV. - Diva Sep 17, 14:13 3
        
        honestly, I thought last season was one of the better overall seasons. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:15 2
        
        I heard they were letting more people who can actually sing get through. That's a plus for them if so. -- nm - Diva Sep 17, 14:17 1
        
        This is the guy who should have won. He came in 3rd, I think. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Sep 17, 14:29 [youtube]
- nicki = ceelo, keith = blake, mariah = christina - SG3 Sep 17, 14:05

B2: Znu pretty much had it =IF(OR(B1="up006",AND((B1="up260"),(C1>12))), 1,0) Got that to work by trial and error - JD Sep 17, 14:01 5
- my issue was "C1="FT>12"" -- apparently I misspoke. (I'm really not bright today.) -- nm - amanda Sep 17, 14:10 2
  - Hmmm. So what exactly are possible values in C1? -- nm - JD Sep 17, 14:18
  - ah, I misunderstood the parameter there. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 14:12
- huh. - znufrii Sep 17, 14:04 1

LYC: I think I'm going to pick up Borderland 2 at midnight. - Krusty Sep 17, 13:59 34
- I got hosed because I pre-ordered on amazon 6-9 months ago and changed my credit card since - SG3 Sep 17, 14:09 3
  - Use the online chat on the help page and you can probably bitch your way to them overnighting a copy. -- nm - David Sep 17, 14:10 2
    - I used the online chat to get it fixed, didn't push em, I wouldn't play much before Friday anyway - SG3 Sep 17, 14:12 1
      - That sucks but at least it got cleared up. -- nm - Krusty Sep 17, 14:27

    - I got it for him. I enjoyed "watching" Borderlands. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 17, 14:08 9
      - This is but one of the of reasons you're awesome. Well done! - Krusty Sep 17, 14:12
      - Read: she couldn't think of anything else to get me as a present. - David Sep 17, 14:09 7
        
        I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. You guys basically buy all the stuff you want throughout the year. - Krusty Sep 17, 14:16 3
        
        CORKY! -- nm - David Sep 17, 14:18
        
        It's very very tough. - Kim Pine Sep 17, 14:17 1
        
        In the immortal words of Phil Dunphy... - David Sep 17, 14:40

  - there is still quite a bit after that IIRC? nm\ -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:07 6

        Yes. -- nm - Krusty Sep 17, 14:20
        
        yeah, I can not even remember who was when, because I spent a month just fighting Crawmerax. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:20
  - The DLC has an awesome boss to beat. - David Sep 17, 14:07 2
    - I had zero problems with that either character. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 14:14 1
      - Yeah, we've had this discussion before. Certain characters/weapons match up better/worse. - David Sep 17, 14:17
  - Nice. Then you can get the new one and join us for some four player co-op action. - Krusty Sep 17, 14:06
- The ads make me want to buy it less - oblique Sep 17, 14:02 1
  - Yeah, the live action is not well done. GIPE! - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 14:04
- dress up like a flaming psycho, no one will mess with you. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 14:01
This is funny --- Spielberg and Lucas made a bet in 1977. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 13:59 3
