A person who got their XBone early has had their console banned. -- (link) - Qale Nov 9, 08:23 5
- It's loathsome but also a negotiating ploy. I'm sure they'll unban the instant he agrees to sign an NDA. - David Nov 9, 08:26 4
  - Deserved. And all the armchair legal analysis everyone's doing at red and neogaf conveniently ignores the XBL TOS. - Max Nov 9, 08:57 1
    - link - Max Nov 9, 09:01
  - Since they were active on Twitter, I wonder if Microsoft had any contact with them during this whole episode. -- nm - Qale Nov 9, 08:32
  - Well they will launch 2 weeks from yesterday - eag Nov 9, 08:29
The Japanese search for the Doolittle Raiders resulted in the death of nearly 250,000 Chinese civilians. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 9, 07:47 1
- Kinda puts the drone strikes in context, huh? -- nm - Obama Administration Nov 9, 08:06
One small things about Breaking Bad that I like is understanding the meaning of the episode title after the face (mini S4 spoils) - prayformojo Nov 9, 07:47

- See, I'm the exact opposite. The DVD drive on my iPad isn't working. As spamlet said, get the Vudu app. - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Nov 9, 08:02 14

    - Also try Target Ticket. -- nm - David Nov 9, 08:15
  - [deleted] 11
    - Yes, but you can do it at home rather than schlepping them to Wal-Mart now - spamlet Nov 9, 08:08 10
      - Oh. And not every minute I'd available (I'm looking at you Disney) but you can sell the DVD afterwards to recoup some cost -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 08:10 3

        Try Target Ticket (if you can still download anything at all). -- nm - David Nov 9, 08:24 1

        It's labour cost. You could to each DVD and build a library that way but it wouldn't be on-line and you'd have the time cost to rip each disc -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 08:12 2
        
        "rip" each disc -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 08:13 1

In which we realize that we never took the sticky plastic protective layer off our dishwasher, which we bought two years ago. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 07:18 3
- Ha! I'm sure you enjoyed peeling it off. - Krusty Nov 9, 07:38 2
  - there's still some more construction to do so we might as well leave it on for a bit - Reagen Nov 9, 07:41 1
    - Good call. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 07:45
Even the Financial Post wrote about the Futureshop trade-in, and Futureshop confirmed it in a tweet. Only caveat... - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 9, 07:07 1
- ah, that's what that part meant. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 07:09
Looking at the map for this 5K now that I'm here there are a lot more hills than I'm used to. May have to adjust my goal from 35 mins to not dying. -- nm - Dano Nov 9, 06:53 5

Watching this thing on the Premier League. This "Relegation" thing seems...interesting. Good idea for the NFL. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 05:41 6
- I think it would work best in college football, actually -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 07:23 1
  - I think you're probably right. For the NFL, you'd have to scrap the divisions, and also a lot of systems used to even things up between the teams - Roger More Nov 9, 07:36
- Speaking of, what are we watching this morning? Just switched to the Crystal Palace / Everton match from Liverpool / Fulham -- nm - JD Nov 9, 07:20

- I wonder what other episodes of the show are like. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 9, 05:05
Russian police choir cover Get Lucky -- (link) - con_carne Nov 9, 01:55 [youtube] 2
- I'd like to say that the part in the middle where they stop to beat up some gay protesters was a surprise, but sadly no. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 9, 07:13 1
  - Russian police doesn't do that - skinheads do. Too much hype and AI propaganda. Even verbal harassment of gays is punishable in Russia. -- nm - Facto Nov 9, 20:23
Back from Thor. 3D, Imax. Very fun movie. - Beryllium Nov 9, 00:20 3

  - Whedon worked on the script quite a bit, but is in full Avengers prep mode. And he was helping gear up Agents of Shield. -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 08:06
  - branagh said he'd like to do another, but the timing was wrong. said it was too soon. whedon is busy with avengers 2. -- nm - mafic Nov 9, 01:20
It's Friday night, and I have pics from the pole dancing championship competition -- (link) - con_carne Nov 8, 22:50 4
- having seen some pole athletics (non strip club party) believe me its an olympic level test of skill strength and endurance as any gymnastic excerise -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 8, 23:51 1
  - Great. Soon we'll have 15-16 year old girls doing this live on the national stage. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 9, 07:49
- How many pics? -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 8, 23:23 1

Anyone tried Batch 19 beer before? It's a "pre-prohibition style lager," tastes a lot like Heinekin. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 8, 21:52 3

- meh. iirc, it's brewed by Coors. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 8, 21:54 1
  - It is, but I'm not holding that against it. -- nm - Stephen Nov 8, 22:04

  - have you seen the ex III? you should. it's so much creepier than a sequel should be allowed to be. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 8, 21:36
  - There are of course many movies that are scarier than most of the top 10 presented - but it's also a popularity (or "most watched") vote. -- nm - Facto Nov 8, 21:00
- 28 days spoils - Beryllium Nov 8, 20:42 3
  - Oh yes..... -- nm - Facto Nov 8, 20:44
  - *ahem* 28 days LATER. Of course I've seen 28 days. - Beryllium Nov 8, 20:43 1
    - I just can't stand the fast running zombies and the violent terror of it all. I get too immersed in the experience, like it's real. Full-on apocalypse - Facto Nov 8, 21:56
