Oooh, I can put the episodes of Undeclared in order on my computer since Apatow was too effin lazy to do so on the dvd's. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:13 7
- What is the correct order? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 3, 14:20 1
  - The first printing was out of order, badly. For instance, Truth or Dare is like Ep 8 on the discs; it's out of order by 5 or 6 - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:20
- I did this just last week. - David Mar 3, 14:14 4
  - Huh, I'll have to look into that one -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:15 3

I think the 2nd Scene-It game might be a fun one to play with ST. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:10 1
- I avoid playing online and by myself though. I don't want to run out of questions too fast - Guigue Mar 3, 14:12
Hey, should we list all the games we own on the Wiki? And/or have a page of games and everyone stick their name next to the ones they have? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:07 5
- Each console has a page with lists of games and players under the name of hte game. -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 14:09 1
  - Each console should have a... -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 14:10
- they're all listed on our xbox profiles. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 14:08 1
  - Though I have a few games in there I don't actually own. Rentals or friends copies -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 14:15
- Yes. Yes indeed. -- nm - Dr.Vermhattan Mar 3, 14:08
"I wanted to get out of Atlanta so bad I just ran to wherever the most money was" -- nm - DeAngelo Hall Mar 3, 14:06 8
- Why didn't he run that fast on the field? -- nm - nubby Mar 3, 14:14 2
  - because he sucks? -- nm - Stewie Mar 3, 14:15 1
    - No clue, since your definition of "sucks" is baffling. -- nm - nubby Mar 3, 14:23
- (And yet he still asked to be allowed back after the Raiders cut him.) -- nm - David Mar 3, 14:08 4
  - you should start a blog with all this inside info -- nm - Stewie Mar 3, 14:16 3

SITWAP: Problem: You make too much money. You're going to suffer under Obama's new tax plan. -- (link) - Tauruschach Mar 3, 14:03 8
- It's a make-work project. By cutting back on work and hours, it opens space up for other people wanting to work! -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 14:09
- Pfftt. Buy more supplies so you can deduct the expense! -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 14:06 3
  - or, just pay yourself less, and reinvest the rest in your business -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 14:07 2
    - Or just realize that only the amount over 250k is taxed at the higher rate, the amount below that would be taxed normally. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:12 1
      - well yeah, that's a no-brainer. - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 14:13
- Those people are idiots who don't understand the tax system. *NM* - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:05 2
  - my sentiments exactly. - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 14:05 1
    - Word to you both. -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 3, 14:06
I have an hour to get in my car, find a birthday present for my dad, and get to my mom's house to pick up Jacen. - TFox Mar 3, 14:01 2

So, on the way home, I realized my car's registration expired on Feb 28th. I realized this when I was being tailgated by a cop. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:50 18
- Ruh roh. -- nm - kelly Mar 3, 14:02

- did he look like Cary Grant? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 3, 13:52
- I just remembered my driver's license expires today. -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 13:52
- We realized the same thing over the weekend. We renewed ours yesterday. The lines at the start of the month are so much shorter. -- nm - David Mar 3, 13:51 6
  - I got stuck behind 3 of the stupidest teenagers in line for their tests. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:57 5
    - the father should have thrown her phone against the wall -- nm - zork Mar 3, 14:15 1
      - Calm down Jovian. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:21
    - The woman who gave us both of our marriage licenses took care of us. - David Mar 3, 14:01 2
      - oh, yeah. We're lucky, though, that the license plate renewal isn't at the same place as the DMV. - Callisto Mar 3, 14:10 1
        
        It is where the neighborhood where we had wanted to live is. It went bankrupt. -- nm - David Mar 3, 14:19
- That would be a pretty dickish cop, to nab you on that after 3 days. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 13:51 5
  - Never underestimate the need for state revenue gatherers acting like dicks when they can. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:56 1
    - Word. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 13:57
  - [deleted] 1
    - I don't know if it is official here. I do know I'd probably laugh accidentally if a cop pulled me over for it before then. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 13:57
  - I got stopped at a counterattack roadblock once, with expired insurance - by one day. - Beryllium Mar 3, 13:53

sitwap (i haven't bb stabbed yet) - another phony memoir, this one from a yale/harvard guy re: minor-league baseball. nm but: -- (link) - b! Mar 3, 13:50 1

[deleted] 2
- extra tickets to the opera. -- nm - b! Mar 3, 13:52
- his daughter is preggy -- nm - marcel Mar 3, 13:50
hee, a FB friend just friended Amanda Jones :-) -- nm - marcel Mar 3, 13:44
dogbert, the list of people you can kill with a 360 might be something you'd be interested in -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 13:43 59
- (sorry was reading comparison articles) sure it sounds fun and all, but with all of you having a over a year's head start on me playing the game, I - dogbert183 Mar 3, 14:08 4
  - I really didn't take it too seriously until about a month ago. Plus there is more satisfaction in killing a Bery than there is in a FNG. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 14:12
  - You pick it up quickly; Crash, Groiny and Eag are all catching up rapidly in skill set. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:10 1
    - Plus just because you haven't played a lot doesn't mean you're automatically bad. I don't have a lot of exp yet but once in a while I get a good game -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 14:12
  - You get the same jump on us with Halo Wars, though! -- nm - David Mar 3, 14:08
- I just don't understand the point of owning a PS3 and I say that as someone who has one. - David Mar 3, 13:57 18
  - How does that differ from the 360? Halo aside, what other big exclusives do they have? -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:01 17
    - There are a ton of 360 only games that are great. Dead Rising, Crackdown, Too Human, DOA4, Fables 2, Gears of War 1 and 2, Vina Pinata... - David Mar 3, 14:04 12
      - And likewise there are more than 3 PS3 exclusives worth owning. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Warhawk, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet, Flower, MotorStorm... - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:11 11
        
        Warhawk? Isn't that the title X-Play mocked for several months? - David Mar 3, 14:22 1
        
        X-Play gave Warhawk a 4/5, and it had a metacritic score of 84. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:26
        
        and GT is one of my favorite franchise games -- nm - dogbert183 Mar 3, 14:14
        
        yeah, we have LittleBigPlanet. It's the only game I've been interested in for the PS3 at all so far. - Callisto Mar 3, 14:14
        
        FF-XIII -- nm - dogbert183 Mar 3, 14:13 6
        
        not an exclusive. -- nm - Callisto Mar 3, 14:16
        
        not exclusive. it'll be on 360 soon after. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:14 4
        
        ah. in the article I just read it seems like the majority of the "exclusives" are just that, exclusive only at the begining - dogbert183 Mar 3, 14:17 2
        
        pretty sure that FFXIII is only PS3 exclusive in Japan. They get the same release date in North America and Europe unless something has changed. -- nm - Callisto Mar 3, 14:18 1
        
        Technically it looks like it'll be released as a PS3 exclusive in Japan first this year, then released elsewhere next year on both. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:23
        
        There's still Infamous and God of War III. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 14:17
    - Isn't Bioshock one of theirs as well? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:04 2
      - Bioshock eventually came out on the PS3 a year later though the reviews weren't as good. -- nm - David Mar 3, 14:05
      - It was released like a year later on the PS3 IIRC -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 14:04
    - Gears of War at least -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 14:03
- Better game library, the netflix add-on is very nice....plus, it's cheaper - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:54 7
  - plus if you buy a 360 right now, Microsoft witll throw in "David & Will Yell At Each Other, Vols 1 & 2" - crash davis Mar 3, 13:57 5
    - He. Just. Stood. There. -- nm - David Mar 3, 13:59 2
      - I've seen you drive. I was safer in the center of the roadway. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:01 1
        
        "I'm a good driver, bro." -- nm - David Mar 3, 14:06
    - Heh ... hrm, t his reminds me that I need to get video of my Hornet Double-Kill on Avalanche ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 13:59
    - "I swear to god Joey, I'm going to betray you." *ten seconds later* Joey betrays David. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:58
  - Also it's cheaper but the online component isn't free. But apparently it's better than the PS3 - Guigue Mar 3, 13:56
- My only worry about getting into Halo at this point is that I'd be target practice. - JaxSean Mar 3, 13:45 21
  - it's easy to pick up. -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 13:51
  - They're/we're not *that* good. - Dr.Vermhattan Mar 3, 13:49 9
    - but I think he is saying he doesn't do FPS, I understand that. If it wasn't for Halo get togethers, I wouldn't. Meanwhile, I think you've told me - crash davis Mar 3, 13:51 8
      - Yeah, the only FPS I've ever really gotten the hang of was Half-Life 2 on the PC. - JaxSean Mar 3, 13:58 7
        
        Fuck FPSs, I'm sure STers play other games online on the 360 -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 14:00 5
        
        Few of us have Tiger Woods; there's other things on the system. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 14:03
        
        Final Fantasy 100! -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 14:02 1
        
        L3 :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:03
        
        we could. (Some play Rock band 2; I'd join in, but I only have GH3) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:02 1
        
        truman and others have been playing that new Civilization game, too -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 14:03
        
        This one ends up being fairly intuitive unless you're completely talentless. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:59
  - the ST Halo group has started doing cooperative mode lately ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 13:48
  - I'm not a FPS guy either. It took a while for me. But everyone is patient and nice, and I'm sure groiny would love giving up his new guy status -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 13:48
  - We can play together. I am horrible at console FPSs. - lileve Mar 3, 13:47 7
    - Isn't there a new chipset coming out soon that will delay your purchase some more? :) -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 13:48 4
      - Nope, something else needs to come out... of me. Then I can get one. -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 13:50 3
        
        So, how much are you selling the kid for? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 13:55 2
        
        See how far Octomom was willing to go to afford a PS3?!? -- nm - Ken K Mar 3, 13:58
        
        There is a market for the stones but not sure there is one for the human kind. -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 13:57
    - I need to do our taxes. I think that might be the tipping point on if I can get one soon(ish) or not. - JaxSean Mar 3, 13:48 1
      - Sweet -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 13:50
- Many PS3 exclusives are now on XBox. Plus most people here have an 360 so you will have many to play with. -- nm - lileve Mar 3, 13:44 3
  - Any more, the only exclusives either console has are the first party ones. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 3, 13:54
  - I just realized, I don't know anyone around me with a PS3, all my friends have Xbox -- nm - Guigue Mar 3, 13:47
  - Quite a few have ps3's, too. Not as many, but some. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 13:46
- better yet - the list of people you'll get killed by... -- nm - J Mar 3, 13:44
The long period of national worry is over! -- (link) - Dano Mar 3, 13:43
