I know, it's Kotaku, but a pretty damning early review of SimCity that I tend to think is right on point. -- (link) - Qale Mar 4, 11:59 2
- its a social game really, which doesnt surprise me - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:02 1
  - I played in the beta and was just whelmed. I'd be very unhappy playing with unfriendly others. Always online sucks with Diablo 3. And while I'm okay - Qale Mar 4, 12:05
Starz original series DaVinci's Demons starting Spring 2013. -- (link) - Shaun Mar 4, 11:58 [youtube] 7
- That's a weird swerve from Da Vinci's Inquest. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:08
- nothing can't fill the void of Spartacus - not even the new shiny Spartacus - Liam McIntyre - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:01 5
  - I will be sad to see it end. It's bloody entertaining! -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 12:02 4
    - I think i'm ready for it to end. not digging this season that much. - Jim Mar 4, 12:04 3
      - I'm ready. The writing is average- they went all " Herschel's Farm" on us. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:08
      - spoils - Shaun Mar 4, 12:05 1
        
        word to the IM - that last line was something - I won't post it and spoil it for Jim but's something something -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:07
ST Plumbing Curse strikes again, or old news? Ender reports plumbing problems on Facebook. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 4, 11:55 11
- wait one second. if one person fixes their plumbing problems for almost free, do we get uncursed? because I fixed my bathroom sink this weekend for - amanda Mar 4, 11:59 2
  - *shrugs* I ripped out most of the walls in my bathroom over the weekend. - Jim Mar 4, 12:06 1
    - Of course, the problem we are having is in the *kitchen*. -- nm - Carrie Mar 4, 12:07
- for those you playing at home - my estimate was $ 3500 to replace the entire line, $ 1200 to fix a spot. SM wants to rent a back hoe and do it himself - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:57 7
  - umm, the City probably wont like that, since you have to permits to dig most likely. - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:08
  - I watched the guy using one to fill in the hole last week. Dude was precise. -- nm - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:05
  - Make sure you have your camera handy. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:00 4
    - And the first aid kit. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 4, 12:04 1
      - Hmm. If it does this to the ground, what will it do to this wall!?! -- nm - SM Mar 4, 12:06
    - I think he just wants to drive a back hoe. Maybe we rent one and let him drive it off to the park and dig over there while I hire real plumbers? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:03 1
      - Sounds about right. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:05
Wanna see the inside of random people's refridgerators? NMBL - howie Mar 4, 11:50 8
- I'm surprised at the amount of food in the 1-person households. I cook for myself and don't have nearly that much. looks like it will all go bad. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:02
- I swear to you my fridge is just perfume, juice, and beer. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 11:55 4
  - oooo - reminds me. what is your scent du jour these days? I tried Versace Pink Crystal (?) lovely. - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:59 3
    - oh, and as a joke, charlie bought me kiss for her, which is completely not crappy, shockingly. I've actually worn it. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:03
    - I am obsessed with lolita lempicka midnight, clarins eau des jardin, and lady gaga (I know. I know). - amanda Mar 4, 12:01 1
      - yes, yes, yes - that des jarin is very good. Fame is a bit heavy but its wicked popular. Haven't tried the Lolita yet. - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:06
- My life is now complete. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 11:51
- no -- nm - TFox Mar 4, 11:51
krusty - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:49 1
- I grabbed a WD Blue 500GB 3.5" for $51. It was $25 off and by using the new Visa checkout system I got an extra $6 off. - Krusty Mar 4, 11:55
In RI news: "42-4-19. State appetizer. -- Calamari is hereby designated as the official state appetizer for the state." -- (link) - ty97 Mar 4, 11:44 4
- Still just a bill. They need to get a vote on this shit pronto though. -- nm - TFox Mar 4, 11:47
- wtf is �Rhode Island style calamari� -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 11:46 2
  - It's just calamari, but less with the sauces and more with the peppers and the garlic. -- (link) - TFox Mar 4, 11:50 1
    - okay, that looks nummy... -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 11:57
Vegas hotel booked! Bring on my trip. -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 11:43 9
- [deleted]
- when will you be here, and do you want restaurant reccomendations? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 4, 11:45 1
  - Sure! I know we want to try Lotus of Siam, any other restaurant/entertainment'general tips appreciated. - MDH Mar 4, 11:53
- which hotel? when? (jealous) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:44 5
  - August 16-20, The Signature at the MGM, One Bedroom Suite. -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 11:52 4
    - cool, we stayed there once before. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:55
    - nice. -- nm - Diva Mar 4, 11:55
    - excellent -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:53 1
      - Thanks. Yeah, we got a super flight deal, and a great deal on the hotel, so we couldn't pass it up. -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 11:56
you know what is a stellar episode of TV? one of my favorite ever? -- (link) - amanda Mar 4, 11:42 1
- "Through concentration, I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will." -- nm - Max Mar 4, 11:44
If you think real estate is expensive in your area, you ain't seen nothing.... -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 4, 11:41
So, yeah, that whole "I won't vacation in NC again" thing I said was going to happen? I got outvoted 3 to 1. - TWuG Mar 4, 11:35 4
- why don't you want to? (we're going to obx for first time later this summer.) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:38 3
  - Nubby showed him his nub. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 11:42

I have no clue how some people drink 8+ glasses of water a day. - groiny Mar 4, 11:32 43
- I have one of those big insulated tumblers. I probably go through 5-6 at work. And 3+ every night. - MDH Mar 4, 11:40
- I probably do that. Though I include flavored water in that total. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:37 18
  - yeah, see my chiro says, "WATER" means water. - groiny Mar 4, 11:42 17
    - get a sodastream and fizz your water. it's funner at least. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 11:57
    - is it made from water? then it's water. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 11:56 3
      - unless it contains caffeine or alcohol. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:01 2
        
        alcohol, being alcohol, is not water. The dehydrating effect of caffeine is greatly exaggerated. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:03 1
        
        particularly if you are a habitual drinker of caffeinated drinks. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:08
    - Tell him or her to get a real medical degree! - spamlet Mar 4, 11:54 1
      - (though chiropractors have a higher frequency of quackery than a lot of professions) -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:10
    - I have a friend similar - she cuts cukes and adds them - also does it with citrus - into a big gallon container in her fridge - JenBro Mar 4, 11:52 3
      - Market Cafe in Hell's Kitchen does this as does Thelonious Monkfish in Cambridge - yum. - Diva Mar 4, 11:54 2
        
        I believe she got the idea from a local Spa -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 11:59 1
        
        oh yes - I've seen that in spas as well. it's nice. -- nm - Diva Mar 4, 12:07
    - You really hold your nose to drink water? - TFox Mar 4, 11:46 1
      - I didn't really like it much until I quit drinking everything else. - Kim Pine Mar 4, 11:51
    - Adding a bit of lemon can really help. - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 11:44 2
      - My wife slices up lemon and freezes it in an ice tray. That plus an insulated tumbler will last all day. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:55 1
        
        Brilliant. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 12:05
    - Silly. Ridiculous. Your body doesn't know the difference. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 11:44
- I drink about 2-3 pints of water a day. I just started. I've noticed a reduction of dry skin and it reduces my coca cola intake as well. - CQ Mar 4, 11:36
- What size glass? Has it been said what the fl. oz. equivalent is? -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 11:36 9
  - Which is one of the reasons, if you think about it, this idea makes no sense. - Reagen Mar 4, 11:42
  - I think a "glass" = 8 oz. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:40 6
    - So why not say "drink 1 gallon of water a day"? -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 11:44 5
      - That sounds like a lot. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:57 4
        
        it is a lot. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 11:58 3
        
        8 glasses sounds a lot less than 1 gallon. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 12:01 2
        
        I think, again, that that depends on how you define "glass". The glasses I use hold a lot more than 8 oz of water. - TWuG Mar 4, 12:05
        
        they're both a lot. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:04
  - Shot glasses, obvie. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 11:37
- I do it -easy - but I don't drink coffee or sodas daily - so that's prolly why it's easy. -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 11:35 3
  - Same here. Water is all I drink. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 4, 11:36 2
    - Same here. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 4, 11:59
    - Yeah, now that I am back on all-water for my drinking, it's simple. -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 11:37
- 8 glasses is a myth. It's "a volume equivalent to eight glasses", which includes water intake from food. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:33 7
  - An apple is only marginally less water by weight than Coke. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 11:39
  - Can I count saliva swallowed? -- nm - Beaker Mar 4, 11:36 1
    - whose exactly? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:40
  - and it assumes you eat a certain amount of food daily. if you are a light eater you can survive with a lot less -- nm - peglegpete Mar 4, 11:34
  - maybe, but there are plenty of people I have seen who polish off that much in actual water. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 11:34 2
    - I have seen it, but there's absolutely no scientific proof that it is needed. It just makes you pee a lot. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 11:55
    - I'm pretty sure I do. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 4, 11:35
someone invented a machine that sorts skittles by color, for those strange people that have to seperate them by color to eat them -- (link) - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:29 [youtube] 15
- How did we live before this? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 4, 11:39
- I don't eat skittles, and I hand color sort my M&Ms, as nature demands. -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 11:31 13
  - Yup. I sort all my candy. Gotta save the good flavors for later. -- nm - Krusty Mar 4, 12:02 1
    - or, in the case of starburst, get rid of the yellow ones as fast as possible. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:05
  - I'm OCD and I don't do that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 11:59
  - there is something seriously wrong with you people. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:43
  - One of my favorite moments ever was looking over at my older daughter (she was well into her teens at this point), with a pack of m&m's and watching - pmb Mar 4, 11:40
  - Fun party trick: Dump M&Ms and Skittles into the same bowl, mix, and watch the first person take a handful. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:38 2
    - Fun party trick: throat punching the host after they do this. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:56 1
      - Amaze your friends! -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 11:57
  - No, nature intended that the M&M's experience as little time as possible exposed to air. They must travell as direct a rout as possible from wrapper - TWuG Mar 4, 11:37 1
    - There must be a word in German for proofreading your own stuff and leaving glaring errors. - TWuG Mar 4, 11:47
  - This. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:36
  - ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 11:34
  - Me too, although not starburst - I eat those as they are in the pack. -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 11:34

- This game better not suck. -- nm - timPhone Mar 4, 11:33
- They toned her cleavage down in the final product didn't they? I'm surprisingly uninterested in this game. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:29 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Seems like it, but no :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:33
Regarding the yearly Assassin's Creeds, I'm mostly against it overall. It's the reason I haven't even touched AC3 yet. - Shaun Mar 4, 11:25 2
- I've had it since Christmas for the ps3 and i'm only about 5% into it - J Mar 4, 12:06
- To clarify, I felt AC'ed out from the previous 3 games, that even though I do really want to play 3, I am not in any rush. - Shaun Mar 4, 11:27
Kids wake up from a 2 1/2 hour nap in their cribs and want to play. Where? In Pinchy's crib. -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 11:23 2
- I think they left their phone with the E-Trade app there. :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 11:31 1
  - *pictures Fin giving Edolie a buck*. "One dollar ... Told you he'd post about us" -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 11:32
i didnt know that minion themed cupcakes exist. i have found out they do. i so want them -- (link) - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:23
It's odd that twitter search is so basic. Like, I don't think you can search only tweets with links or pics etc. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:22
i think bery needs this. maybe others, but mostly bery. -- (link) - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:19 2 1
- POTD -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 11:20 1
  - Sorry, but mop wins that one. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 11:38
Just last night I was wondering if any current TV shows were set in Chicago - ty97 Mar 4, 11:18 6
- Dresden Files! (not current, and the TV show was crap compared to the books, bit still) -- nm - Beaker Mar 4, 11:34
- Whitney -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:25
- [deleted]
- Besides Chicago Fire of course. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:20 2
  - I should have said 'sitcoms'. I run into Chicago Fire filming about once a month it seems. -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 11:21 1
    - oh yeah.... -- (link) - Epiphany Mar 4, 11:43 [Image]
the new Galaxy S IV will be able to scroll all by itself, just by looking at your eyes, when you read stuff on it. - tRuMaN Mar 4, 11:18 3
- if Apple had that first people would try to give them a nobel prize -- nm - SG3 Mar 4, 11:34
- I was imagining the Google Glass would have this feature, eventually anyway. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 11:22
- Yeah, I'm just gonna nominate this one for STPOW myself. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 4, 11:20
womens feet grow with pregnancy. many a whole size larger -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 4, 11:16 8
- my feet fluctuate with my weight. I lost some weight recently and my shoes felt kind of baggy. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 11:24
- yeah, it's a disgusting thing that happens a wive's feet and ankles during pregnancy. *shudders* -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 11:18
- That's not news to my wife. Hers grew a size and a half. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 11:16 5
  - I thought my wife's monster feet were already maxed out, but her's still grew from 11s to 12s. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:23
  - I'm confused as to why this is being reported in a new study. - kelly Mar 4, 11:21 3
    - exactly. -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 11:22
    - [deleted] 1
      - I had a similar thought, but it's a study of whether the changes last after pregnancy -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 11:31
