Should I get trivia crack for my phone? -- nm - Roo Feb 25, 08:41 3
- No. Mobile gaming is terribad. -- nm - Qale Feb 25, 11:24
- It was fun for a couple of weeks. I stopped playing because the questions were a bit too easy or way too specific. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:43 1

  - effin' whores -- nm - decline Feb 25, 08:43
- Koala in a zoo, maybe. Not in the wild...flea ridden with sharp little claws. -- nm - Meg Feb 25, 08:39 1
  - It's the chlamydia that's the real problem -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:41
- Maybe, not sure if I can get injured. Yes, I played and got licks from a pitbull about an hour ago. Yes, they look so cute but I'd be cautious. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:38 3
  - there are some wonderful and sweet pitbulls out there. It's a shame that a ton of irresponsible and bad owners have given them such a bad rep. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 08:40 1
    - Agreed. There are way more nice ones than bad ones. We only hear about the ones that bite, not the ones that lick people and beg for belly rubs. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:42
  - And it was a pibull I don't know, she was just so friendly and walked up to me with her tail wagging. She was a sweet dog. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:39
- Would I hug something that can bite through a crustacean? Nope. - Max Feb 25, 08:36

- FKM -- nm - budice Feb 25, 08:32 4
  - that poor octopus. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 08:35
  - Someone obviously doesn't know the average lifetime of an octopus ... :-) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:33 2
    - (It's five years, likely the shortest of the three) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:44 1
      - (Also, they're probably smarter than pitbulls and koalas, so they'd be more stimulating on an intellectual level) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:44
- Maybe. No. No. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:32
Minnesota is doing things right after Pawlenty did nothing. -- (link) - Krusty Feb 25, 08:27

Xbox One and 360 owners can download a free standalone Fast & Furious tie-in Forza Horizon 2 game starting on March 27 -- (link) - Max Feb 25, 08:14 6
- The stand-alone title will not require "Forza Horizon 2" and will be available for free until April 10 - Mop Feb 25, 08:27
- The first car, a Ford Fiesta, is free. The rest will require $20 in-app purchases each. -- nm - Mop Feb 25, 08:25 3
  - Not for this expansion (and not that that was ever required in any Forza game) -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:26 2
    - I never bought a car and the game never made me feel like I needed to. I did want a few cars that were $ only but I wasn't upset at all. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:41 1
      - I do think that trying to tie virtual cars to real-world rarity is folly. - Max Feb 25, 08:50
- Cool, I'll check it out. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:24
Disney XD is rebooting Duck Tales! James Van Der Beek will play Launchpad and Katee Sackhoff, of course, will be Starbuck. -- nm - Mop Feb 25, 08:13 2

  - My hope is that they recognize when the demand starts to flag and are able to reduce - TWuG Feb 25, 08:14 3
    - They announced their new set today, "The U.S. Mint". -- nm - Mop Feb 25, 08:19
    - as long as there is fewer bricks in the world then what you need to rebuild the world in 1:1 there is a need for more LEGO :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 25, 08:17 1
      - I still have my doubts about their plan to luanch a series of Lego sattelites that will hook up to form the Lego Space Station. - Ultron Feb 25, 08:30

- Wow, what a ripoff. I'd go speak to someone about that. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:22
- $10 for a card? Geez -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 25, 08:18 2
  - Yeah, if you have to buy the card, they should replace them when they wear out. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 08:23 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 08:25
- I remember doing laundry at university. You could use strips of dryer sheets folded the right way to make the machine think they were quarters - Beaker Feb 25, 08:12
- Ugh! out $ 20 now? I'm thinking the managment can reimburse you -- nm - Epiphany Feb 25, 07:55
- got a new system here keyring chip and it take the money from your rent -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 25, 07:53
- Nuke them from... well, maybe not. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:43
- well, that is super annoying. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 07:41
Three of the last five episodes of Justified have been directed by RoboCop (Peter Weller), Bartlett's therapist(Adam Arkin) & the director of Rounders - David Feb 25, 07:40

HOW IS IT ONLY 9:30AM - ty97 Feb 25, 07:30 2
- We're not big fans of you either. -- nm - iSpam Feb 25, 07:36
- I don't know but I am not amused -- nm - Epiphany Feb 25, 07:31
Reagen, not surprised you went to Memphis, that makes sense. But it's since been de-hubbed. - ty97 Feb 25, 07:23

- ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ receives a ‘Mature’ rating -- (link) -- Ultron (aka Spawn) Feb 24, 10:59 - Ultron Feb 25, 07:17 31
  - I sitwaped that on B2. Not sure why that would be, but I'm definitely cool with it. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:21 4
    - I know part of it, but will not spoil it for you. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:24 3
      - Full frontal Penguin nudity? -- nm - Ender Feb 25, 07:36 1
        
        Stop, you're getting the seals excited. -- nm - Baron Go Bragh Feb 25, 07:41
      - Gracias. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:25
  - how do you not have all purple armor and guns by now? -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 07:19 25
    - Got the first exotic gun Monday night (still charging it). - Ultron Feb 25, 07:23 24
      - no, you do not NEED to do crucible. You need to get enough vanguard marks to buy one at least. - groiny Feb 25, 07:38 12
        
        Yeah, bought the boots and chest plate so far. They are on the last row of upgrades. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:41 11
        
        you should see the vanguard weapon dealer in the hangar.... - groiny Feb 25, 07:46 10 1
        
        Will do. I went the defense route but it seems I should have went offense first. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:48 8
        
        just looked at your character, you desperately need better weapons. - groiny Feb 25, 07:54 3
        
        I was literally LOL last night. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:57 2
        
        you had the right idea hiding behind those crates. - groiny Feb 25, 07:58 1
        
        I came out twice to get ammo. The first time was fine. The second... was not. - Ultron Feb 25, 08:20
        
        yeah, I noticed that, which is why I am asking. - groiny Feb 25, 07:50 3
        
        Okay, Xur has annoyed me in that two weeks in a row he had stuff for sale for exactly one more mote or coin than I had. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:54 2
        
        if you are on later, we will get you though some strikes or the weekly. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 07:56 1
        
        Cool. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:57
        
        "Favourites" -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:47
      - since he said charging it: probably that fusion rifle that requires you to charge it with kills (or the husk of the pit) -- nm - Truman Feb 25, 07:27 6
        
        Pistol, and yeah, have to kill hive on the moon. 500 kills. It is about half way there. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:29 5
        
        Oh ok, you have the Thorn bounty. Do the Summoning Pits strike on the easiest level twice and it will be charged. - Shaun Feb 25, 07:31 4
        
        Yeah, did it once so far. With Amy still on the mend there is not a huge amount of Destiny time. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:35 3
        
        you are gonna have to cheese the part where you have to get 100 kills with void damage - groiny Feb 25, 07:37 2
        
        ehh, if he had atheon's gun, plus truth, he could do it easily - Truman Feb 25, 08:16 1
        
        Atheon's gun is not easy to come by, nor is truth. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 08:17
      - Which gun?!!?!? -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:25 3
        
        Some pistol. I have not completed the second mission of the expansion (the boss battle went 20 minutes but could not win it). -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:28 2
        
        Sounds like you have The Last Word, since you Xboners can't get Hawkmoon. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:29 1
        
        It is rather weak at the moment, and doe snot have a name that I recall. Does that happen when it is charged? -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:30
- About Gotham the series, seems like they're in a hurry to introduce a bunch of characters. -- nm - budice Feb 25, 07:12 12
  - But it makes sense, I think. Take the Batman movies for instance...why did the villains seem to arrive one at a time? - ???? Feb 25, 07:20 10
    - Who's this n00b? -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:26 2
      - ???? -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:29 1
        
        I know right? -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 07:31
    - As I said, they are taking the opposite approach that SHIELD took. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:25 6
      - Maybe that's why Gotham is my favorite new show and I bailed on Shield after 2 episodes. - ???? Feb 25, 07:42 5
        
        It does make sense in that one is prequel and one is going forward (in tandem with a move universe) that Gotham could really build the world we know. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:46
        
        Gotham is instant gratification. AoS is a more a slow burn. - TWuG Feb 25, 07:46 3
        
        As I said, DVR. I have only watched the first two Agent Carters. - Ultron Feb 25, 07:56
        
        Did you like from last night Agent Carter (spoils) - eag Feb 25, 07:50 1
        
        Haven't watched it yet. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 08:10
  - Lots of roots. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:18

- Doesn't the prosecutor get to decide whether or not to pursue the death penalty? -- nm - spamlet Feb 25, 07:21

      - "Is it called that because paying homeless men to fight is shocking?" "Nooope." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 25, 08:09
      - A date with Tracy Jordan. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 07:14
  - Made of gold??????? -- nm - nubby Feb 25, 07:00 2
    - Gold Chipotle Card. -- nm - budice Feb 25, 07:00 1
      - I have a platinum one already -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 07:16
I wasn't able to post this last night while and overnight while it was happening but great, it snowed. - Diva Feb 25, 06:57 11
- No Internet/tv still? -- nm - budice Feb 25, 06:59 9
  - nope. Comcast kept coming to fix it while we were at work. They don't give a sh!t about anything. - Diva Feb 25, 07:05 8
    - Wow. SO sorry. -- nm - Ultron Feb 25, 07:36
    - I need ST's Help...I'm planning a full onslaught on Comcast's social medial... - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:31 4
      - Check our Consumerist to see if they have emails for senior execs. - iSpam Feb 25, 07:39 1
        
        good idea. thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:42
      - Be incredibly harsh yet civilized on their FB page and on Twitter. - Shaun Feb 25, 07:33 1
        
        that's mostly my demeanor, yes. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:35
    - dammit - prayformojo Feb 25, 07:12 1
      - Yeah - it's the pretty bad. mel's been putting up with the brunt of it. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 07:13
- storming very hard here right now. -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 06:57
More bad news for Chicago, Patrick Kane might be done for a long while too -- (link) - Beaker Feb 25, 06:57 2
- My mom is pissed. We have 100 level seats for the Bulls on Friday and last year Rose was hurt when we went so she didn't get to see him play - oblique Feb 25, 06:59 1
  - I actually think they still have enough talent on that team to win it, but it will be tougher. -- nm - pmb Feb 25, 07:21
