Beyonce breaks US iTunes sales record, sells 617,000 in three days... -- (link) - Don Homer Dec 16, 10:48 2
- Were all these people just looking at this eight bucks in their bank accounts and saying "Yup, that's my Beyonce money," and sighing? -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 10:56
- I'm not a fan, but the way she did that is how artists/labels need to. - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:53
Jim, how did your choices for those 2 FF spots turn out? - groiny Dec 16, 10:47 2

  - Which interestingly enough the sameish concept eventually led to the smashing success of the 3DS. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 10:48
driveby: So the "lotsadollars" thing we have, the "dabloons" I've received so far from the following: - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:39 7
- Where would I Musk you? -- nm - David Dec 16, 10:49 2
  - Are you on the FB ST Group? - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:50 1
    - I don't think so. I'll msg you. -- nm - David Dec 16, 10:51
- will be sending mine tonight. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:43 1
  - ok. I will likely get them tomorrow afternoon, so I'd say the window closes around noon Eastern. - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:49

Gravity gets a home video release date of February 24. - David Dec 16, 10:32 4
- [deleted]
- Also, if you remember a TT poster who went by JStolberg, he has a movie coming out called The Hungover Games. - David Dec 16, 10:34 2
  - Isn't he the one we have to blame for Good Luck Chuck? -- nm - elf kelly Dec 16, 10:37 1
    - Yes, he wrote that and also directed a decent teen sex comedy. - David Dec 16, 10:39
So with the thing we're not supposed to talk about, are you still in if you were in before or did that not roll? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:30 14
- So this thing we're not mentioning. Is someone collecting and are there instructions for how to participate? -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 10:38 4
  - Jax left instructions in the fb group, iinm -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:40 3

        Thanks -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 10:44
- That last one was almost dead, barely going to roll. Down to $4. -- nm - Flavorize Dec 16, 10:34
- i think it all rolled? and we are doing a dollar entry contributed at any time is equal to a dollar any other time? - Andie Dec 16, 10:32 7
  - My understanding is that the old shares stay in the old pool, with whatever is left from Flav's tickets. The new pool that Jax is running is separate. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:35 6
    - That would make the most sense. If the old tickets should win, the distribution should be to those players, not to any new ones. -- nm - Meg Dec 16, 10:37 5
      - ah, if it's that low, then that makes the most sense. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 10:37 4
        
        even if there was a bigger remnant, I'd suggest each round's shares be kept separate - znufrii Dec 16, 10:40 3
        
        i am totally down with whatever, but logically it does make the most sense. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 10:43
        
        Right, we're all good friends - until there's a half billion dollars up for grabs :) -- nm - Meg Dec 16, 10:43 1

Ika Delta-org players, I'd like to see some Slackers on 60:50. Right now it's just me and the DMn guy. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 16, 10:28 7
- hey mop ... i've got ships out on an errand right now, but as soon as they're back in port, I can send in some troops ... or ... - i'm not the Ghost of Christmas Past yet ! Dec 16, 10:47
- Are we going to be able to take a town or two or is this strictly a naval gig? - Mel Profit Dec 16, 10:36 2
  - I'm pouring in troops. Still about an hour before they arrive. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 16, 10:44 1

I think TellTale is the beginning of a good evolution of video games. - nubby Dec 16, 10:22 1

I hope for their sakes that Romo and Dez aren't watcing ESPN today. - David Dec 16, 10:19 9
- Completely idiotic play calling. Murray was knocking out 7.4 yards per carry in a situation where they should've been killing the clock. -- nm - Shaun Dec 16, 10:23 6
  - [deleted]
  - The Cowboys had called a run play when Romo threw the crippler INT. -- nm - David Dec 16, 10:23 4
    - That's just idiotic from Romo then. Mind you I love seeing the Cowboys implode. It's great. -- nm - Shaun Dec 16, 10:31 3
      - while, I kinda agree, Romo is not the one who is letting them score 20+points up until that point. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 10:32 2
        
        For sure. The Dallas D is fucking awful. Good thing they fired Rob Ryan last year. -- nm - Shaun Dec 16, 10:41
        
        The game has (finally) passed Monte Kiffin by. Dallas should never have hired him. -- nm - David Dec 16, 10:35
- and yet nobody is talking about Eli - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:19 1
  - Eli doesn't have a habit of giving away games in December and he stays on the field til the whistle blows. - Jim Dec 16, 10:21
People have way too much money. House Hunters is on now and this couple is currently looking at a house. - Shaun Dec 16, 10:13 19

        With that contract, for sure. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:26 8
        
        I'm hoping I can talk him out of Dalton or Tannehill for a 3rd. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:28 7

        [deleted] 4
        
        Of course, I could also bid on a free agent - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:35 3

        I would be very surprised if Brady is tagged. - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:40 1
        
        If I had to decide today - Strongbad Dec 16, 10:43
Did anyone watch the Homeland season finale? (major spoilers) - GregW Dec 16, 10:08 1

what was your favorite bank teller moment, ST? -- (link) - znufrii Dec 16, 10:04 7
