        see, I would think that GTA would be a tougher play for you than army combat. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 22, 09:28 6
        
        GTA is a lampoon like Duke Nukem more than a real game. -- nm - David Nov 22, 09:30 5
        
        you're weird. - groiny Nov 22, 09:32 4

if you can, do watch "An Adventure in Space and Time", a film about the beginning of Doctor Who -- nm - marcel Nov 22, 08:53
Speaking of, have any Dr Who fans here watched the seasons from the 1960s and 70s? Or do current fans kind of write those off as not worth watching? - mara Nov 22, 08:44 11
- I've seen the ones that are available on Netflix, but that's sporadic at best. -- nm - Ender Nov 22, 09:34
- they are pretty hard to watch by today's standards even when I started watching the show in the 1980's the stuff from the 60's and 70's were tough to - Remlik Nov 22, 09:11 5
  - I watched some in the 70's on PBS. It seemed really cheesy and cheap to me -- nm - amoxy Nov 22, 09:13 4
    - They made the most of what they had available. - Spawn Nov 22, 09:15 3
      - You can only do so much with crepe paper and thrift store costumes. -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 09:22 2
        
        "I know, let's stick a paint roller on the front and call it a laser!" -- nm - Ender Nov 22, 09:36 1
        
        You can see the line from that to George Lucas and his Star Wars models... -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 09:40
- I have fond memories of watching those as a kid -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 09:02

Day ending in "y" I guess, once again Washington Post editorial board proves itself completely worthless... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 22, 08:34 24
- I don't get why everyone thinks this is such a huge change. It's just logical. -- nm - ty97 Nov 22, 08:45 9
  - Some people think it avoids partisan issues rather than solving them. Others believe the democrats will regret it if/when Republicans get the Senate. - David Nov 22, 09:31 8
    - Yeah, the common conservative talking point seems to be "Dems will regret it when they lose the Senate". But for the Repulicans to win the Senate, - Roger More Nov 22, 10:30
    - Heck, I just prefer the Senate to work on majority rule. Want to make the rules? Become the majority. -- nm - TWuG Nov 22, 09:36 6
      - I don't mind the concept of the fillibuster as it was previously used. Something that was only used for something that people were willing to lay on - pmb Nov 22, 09:40 1
        
        I'm fine with an actual "stand your ass up there and talk til you collapse" filibuster. This thing we had - TWuG Nov 22, 09:42
      - Well, we are squarely headed in that direction since that is the way the Republicans have run the House. -- nm - David Nov 22, 09:38 3
        
        I'm fine with it operating that way. I don't like the results under GOP rule in the House, but that's just incentive for the Dems to - TWuG Nov 22, 09:44 2
        
        I am concerned by the Wonk tidbit last week that because of gerymandering, 100 democrats have to vote for every 94 republicans... - David Nov 22, 09:47 1
        
        That's true, but the pool of people eligible to vote is deeper for Dems than the GOP - TWuG Nov 22, 09:52
- Synopsis: Republicans caused the problems, democrats should just bend over and take it. - pmb Nov 22, 08:40 1
  - Yup. -- nm - David Nov 22, 08:41
- What part do you object to? That's exactly what's going to happen. -- nm - spamlet Nov 22, 08:40 9
  - It probably is, but the implication is that everyone should accept the republicans gridlock victory. - pmb Nov 22, 08:42 8
    - This is an interesting graph that was included in the Wonkblog email. Notice the spike in cloture votes? -- (link) - spamlet Nov 22, 08:44 [Image] 7
      - Moderate increase followed by massive increase. Yes, there was an increase during those years and you can point to that as the beginning. - pmb Nov 22, 08:52 6
        
        The moment the Republicans stopped three candidates without even considering them, the Democrats had no choice. -- nm - David Nov 22, 09:01 5
        
        What amazes me consistently is that Republicans are really winning in most of these cases but they don't know when to accept their victory. - pmb Nov 22, 09:14 4
        
        Not at all what you'd expect from a party that treats greed as a virtue. -- nm - TWuG Nov 22, 10:11
        
        I like this insight -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 09:28
        
        I was reading that donations to GOP candidates in the Senate are not where people expected for a Senate that could be in play. - Mel Profit Nov 22, 09:16 1
        
        In reading Game Change, something that shines through is that Romney's Boston team was showered with money. - David Nov 22, 09:22
- USA Today had an editorial in support of Harry Reid's action, pointed the finger at the GOP. -- nm - Mop Nov 22, 08:39 1
  - "Republicans whose unjustified recalcitrance provoked the change should be ashamed." - spamlet Nov 22, 08:41
The odds are pretty slim that that awesome The Heavy song appears in Dallas Buyer's Club, right? - con_carne Nov 22, 08:29 2
- I definitely want to see this -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 09:04 1
  - I was watching TV with my bros. This ad came on and I said "I smell Oscar!" Everybody immediately knew what I was talking about - con_carne Nov 22, 09:28

- That's a horrible statistic, but I'm wondering; has that store ever been robbed? Because the police must not leave the lot. -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 09:24 1
  - It says in the article that it hasn't been robbed. Guy only added security cameras to catch the police being assholes. -- nm - TWuG Nov 22, 09:26
- That convenience store must have INCREDIBLE donuts. -- nm - Mop Nov 22, 08:38

    - What a jerk. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 08:37
- I really don't know which one I'd rather have this time around. - Krusty Nov 22, 08:23 2
  - yup, I am not even considering getting one until I see what is going on with ST peeps. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 22, 08:40
  - yep. that's pretty much where I'm at. I'll wait and see which one takes hold more/gets better games. -- nm - mafic Nov 22, 08:31
