For loosi -- (link) - Spawn May 20, 08:23
*wants to play Hungry Hungry Hippos* -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 08:14 9
- I bought LIFE last weekend and played with the family - Epiphany May 20, 08:27 2
  - WE should play when my wife comes over -- nm - MadCrow May 20, 09:03
  - LIFE ends too quickly. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:28
- It looked like a lot of fun. -- nm - spamlet May 20, 08:19 3
  - Why didn't you try it? All of the adults tried it at our Scout lockin a few months back? -- nm - Jim May 20, 08:21 2
    - Field day is highly scheduled. No extra time. - spamlet May 20, 08:24 1
      - lol...yeah, we had a loose schedule. We also Go-Pro'd it...very cool! By the way, the adults cheated...BAD. -- nm - Jim May 20, 08:26
- *sticks Will Hunting with the hippo with the screwed-up lever* -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 20, 08:17 1
  - This is Hunting. Pretty sure he just means lunch. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:17
I signed up for the HBO Now free trial so I can catch up on GoT and learn what the latest fuss is aboot. (no spoils) - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 20, 08:13 3
- You're gonna have to be more specific. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 08:16
- Are you starting with season 5? -- nm - David May 20, 08:14 1
  - I was caught up through 4 already. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 20, 08:15
Atlas rocket launch in 3 minutes -- (link) - Jovian May 20, 08:02
HSX question - where are the summer blockbuster warrants? -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 07:59 11
- Gracias everyone - I like the old way better but then again - I would. -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 08:06
- I don't think they do them all at once anymore. DMac introduces a warrant for films that make a sh!t-ton of money so players can guess how much more - Diva May 20, 08:03
- They IPO them individually and not until after the stock's opening weekend adjust. - ty97 May 20, 08:00 8
  - Yeesh, they really screwed up trading huh? - Krusty May 20, 08:05
  - the fun part of them was picking which ones could tank. They have taken away literally anything you can do to lose money -- nm - Beaker May 20, 08:03 6
    - also picking which ones were underpriced. Like Pitch Perfect 2, you could have made a ton off that, but now the warrant will take it's opening into - Beaker May 20, 08:05 1
      - I'd actually like the BW prices to be greater, so it really is a bet on legs. - Roger More May 20, 08:18
    - some people still find a way to lose on them by longing and then not paying attention. Not as chancey, I know. -- nm - Diva May 20, 08:04 3
      - I certainly did. And it still happens - see AVNG2.BW -- nm - Roger More May 20, 08:09 2
        
        Sonuva..... -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 08:10
        
        i do this, i tend to buy them and forget all about them. -- nm - San Andrea May 20, 08:10
Nintendo of America Hires Bowser as New VP of Sales -- (link) - ty97 May 20, 07:58 1
- no relation. Riiiiight. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 08:00
heh -- (link) - Spawn May 20, 07:47
For those who played HofW last night, how the hell do you get the Etheric Light? -- nm - groiny May 20, 07:42 43
- Easy. Here's what you do. - decline May 20, 07:46
- BTW, as soon as Remlik joined the party, I lost sound again. When I looked at the party, there was some message about Newtwork issues. - Spawn May 20, 07:46
- It's an RNG drop. I have 0 as of now, but I really only did 2 events that have the chance of dropping it (2xNF). - Shaun May 20, 07:45
- You get it in the Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris. - David May 20, 07:44 39
  - Also for IB rank 3 and 5 but that doesn't do anyone any good right now. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:46
  - so it is gonna take forever to upgrade legendary weapons..... - groiny May 20, 07:46 37
    - Yeah, definitely armor. A single exotic takes you halfway to 33. -- nm - David May 20, 07:49 8
      - I get the appeal to do weapons first, especially if you have multiple characters, but armor is huge. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 07:53 7
        
        before I joined you, I tried the mission solo, and was not having any luck - groiny May 20, 07:57 4
        
        And the first one we ran, I had at max level. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 07:59
        
        Tru and I did Prison of Elders at level 28. It wasn't easy, but it also wasn't difficult. - David May 20, 07:58 2
        
        I was doing everything at 30, the enemies seemed pretty tough, -- nm - groiny May 20, 08:00 1
        
        I've done the levels at 32 (and 30 and 28). They're manageable but tough. - David May 20, 08:04
        
        Most of the awesome weapons are legendaries, so the shiny new EL is needed. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:54 1
        
        I had three shards. Used one for my Claws of Ahamkara and the other two for the MIDA and Ice Breaker. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 07:58
    - Armour dude. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:46 26
      - I have a couple exotics I can bust up for that too. -- nm - groiny May 20, 07:47 25
        
        You are due for another No Land Beyond. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:00 22
        
        I have an extra Suros, Gally, Last Word I can scrap. - groiny May 20, 08:02 21
        
        I hate to scrap fully upgraded exotics, but there are a couple I might. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:05 6
        
        I really wouldn't. Be patient with this stuff. -- nm - David May 20, 08:11 5
        
        If I do it will be my exotic helmets. I just do not see me using them again over other pieces I have. - Spawn May 20, 08:15 4
        
        You never know when they may tweak something, though. - David May 20, 08:31 1
        
        lol, I knew that was going to be a problem. We need to run through it again. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 08:33
        
        keep in mind, Xur was selling shards as well, hopefully, he still is. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 08:23 1
        
        If Xur stay true to his TDB pattern, he'll be selling HoW exotics this week. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:25
        
        Do it up. Duplicate exotics just aren't needed anymore with how quick and easy it is to transfer gear. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:04 13
        
        Wow. I had not noticed that the Bungie site now lets you transfer as well. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:09 9
        
        ... ah, just to the vault. Nevermind. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:09 8
        
        Vault Helper! I am also aware that there's a great desktop app as well, but I forget the name. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:13 7
        
        That thing is a mess. As David said, DIM is where it is at. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 08:17 5
        
        I'll admit, it looked awful the first time I loaded it. However once you realize how it works, it's phenomenal. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:18 4
        
        DIM is so much better. *Everything* on one screen. Just right click an item and choose where to go. - Spawn May 20, 08:20 3
        
        My PC is nowhere near my PS4, so I need to rely on an android app and Vault Helper rules. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:23 2
        
        That explains it. - Spawn May 20, 08:28 1
        
        I still seriously can't grasp that 'one tap transfers' is too hard. - Shaun May 20, 08:31
        
        Destiny Item Manager -- nm - David May 20, 08:13
        
        While this is true, I still did all three of my Icebreakers. It's just easier. -- nm - David May 20, 08:04 2
        
        yeah, I need all 3 IB, and also 2 Gallys, I could really ditch the 3rd. -- nm - groiny May 20, 08:07 1
        
        I have 2 IBs and rarely use them, but I'm definitely keeping them around. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:17
        
        My upgrades: AS, MotTM, CoAL, Gjallarhorn, and Thunderlord. Hawkmoon and Thorn are on the radar, but don't need those yet. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:50
        
        I have an extra piece of shit Gjallarhorn just sitting there..... -- nm - groiny May 20, 07:49
    - Armor. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 07:46
Artwork for Mad Max Fury Road released -- (link) - LMS May 20, 07:37 1
- One art, please. -- nm - Zoidberg si May 20, 08:11
Kilbo, I think any system that rewards complete and utter failure to do the work is a non-starter in my mind. - Will Hunting May 20, 07:13 9
- You're not assessing the student's actual ability when you give a zero, though. - Reagen May 20, 07:37
- I'd suggest that if a student is flat-out refusing to do any work, there are other issues at play and a zero grade is not going to solve them. -- nm - Roger More May 20, 07:19 1
  - they need to bring back corporal punishments. -- nm - decline May 20, 07:25
- It is a multi-pronged approach. Currently there can be a teacher's policy that no grade can be "made up". Thus a single missed assignment (in my - oblique May 20, 07:17 1
  - IME, the kids who "game" the system are rarely getting amazing marks because of it - Reagen May 20, 07:41
- In the B2 system, they still need to turn in the work though, don't they? -- nm - Ender May 20, 07:16 2
  - You already failed me...what incentive is there for me to try? - Will Hunting May 20, 07:29
  - It's not 100% clear what happens if they don't. -- nm - Roger More May 20, 07:20
- I agree with this. the contract with the teacher includes completing assignments. late or not, they have to be done. - amanda May 20, 07:16
Patton Oswald reads/rips off ST. -- (link) - Spawn May 20, 07:06 5
- sonofa -- nm - Beaker May 20, 07:12
- But we love him, so that's OK. Were it Dane Cook however.... well, let's just say that ST has a lot of lawyers. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 20, 07:12 1
  - Like Dane Cook reads the internet. - Spawn May 20, 08:04
- we'd be lucky to have him -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 07:09
- He and Bery do look very similar... -- nm - Roger More May 20, 07:08
B2 - personally, I think the idea that failure shouldn't put you in a hole too deep to get out of is one of the things that makes America what it is - Roger More May 20, 07:05 4
- Exactly. One missed assignment shouldn't be enough to torpedo your semster/quarter grade. - TWuG May 20, 07:08 3
  - You could accomplish the same by having reasonable weights on each assignment - Will Hunting May 20, 07:30 2
    - I'm pretty sure a flat out refusal to do work results in zero (now that I'm starting to see more details come out other than the articles linked) - oblique May 20, 07:37 1
      - Right, I have kids who have more absences than attendances, and barring some miracle, they're not going to pass because they haven't met the outcomes. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 07:40
Interesting. There's now an OTA tuner available for the XBONE -- (link) - oblique May 20, 07:05
Beak won at 11... - Mel Profit May 20, 07:03
Walt Disney World power rankings: 1) Magic Kingdom 2) Epcot 3) Hollywood Studios 4) Any Disney Hotel 5) Animal Kingdom - David May 20, 07:01 53
- Epcot is king. -- nm - ty97 May 20, 07:10
- When we were there...what 4 years ago, or so...Hollywood Studios was like a ghost town. They had almost nothing. - Jim May 20, 07:08 35
  - The best thing for us as HS was the wicked car stunt show. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:10
  - It's a half-day park, but the great rides are perfect 10s. -- nm - David May 20, 07:10 33
    - can I be god damn nosy and ask if with all the walking did you notice a decrease in weight? - Epiphany May 20, 07:14 32
      - Last year, I lost four pounds. This year, I gained about three pounds, but I've already lost most of that. - David May 20, 07:23 25
        
        I had a similar effect, and I suspect it's water weight from salty food. - Reagen May 20, 07:56
        
        oh I could see where both of you added muscle mass/weight with all of that walking. I don't eat right on vacation either - why should anyone? - Epiphany May 20, 07:32 22
        
        Man, I had a sip of champagne and a sip of wine, and I don't understand how people can drink that stuff. - David May 20, 07:37 21
        
        I hate champagne but wine can be tasty, though I'm picky about the wine I drink. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 07:49 8
        
        Champagne always reminds me of Fredo in Godfather Part 2 - con_carne May 20, 08:28 1
        
        Heh. :-) Exactly! -- nm - Krusty May 20, 08:34
        
        red wine is an acquired taste for sure. - groiny May 20, 07:50 5
        
        Tannin headaches suck. But I will deal with it if it means a nice glass with a nice dinner. - con_carne May 20, 07:58 1
        
        well, that and post dinner whores. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 08:01
        
        My wines have to be sweet'ish to sweet in general. I can't do most reds becuase they seem to kill me headache wise. - Will Hunting May 20, 07:57 1
        
        Red wine hangover is the worst. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 08:26
        
        Definitely for red wine. White is almost always tasty. - Krusty May 20, 07:55
        
        I don't get how some people don't have at least 2 Gjallarhorns either, but lots do. - Shaun May 20, 07:43
        
        my no alcoholic intake program is boring the shit out of me - so I'm doing away with my self induced booze exile come August 7th - Epiphany May 20, 07:41 10
        
        yonh!! -- nm - Diva May 20, 07:45 7
        
        What does this mean? - Krusty May 20, 07:49 6
        
        it's a made up nonsense word that means 'Affirmative!' in a strong, but goofy and fun way. -- nm - Diva May 20, 07:59 1
        
        Sounds good! Thanks! - Krusty May 20, 08:08
        
        It's the new improved way to say 'gouda', or at least that's what the Cambridge online dictionary says. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:51 3
        
        "I'll have my ham sandwich with a slice of New Jersey please." -- nm - con_carne May 20, 08:11
        
        that's funny. -- nm - Diva May 20, 07:58
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty May 20, 07:54
        
        TEL ME MORE -- nm - groiny May 20, 07:42 1
        
        drunker than Cooter Brown -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 07:49
        
        We also got a new scale right before we left and I'm not sure it measures us the same as the old one did. -- nm - Kim Pine May 20, 07:24
      - I lost a pound. But yeah, I also ate plenty (desserts, etc). -- nm - Kim Pine May 20, 07:16 5
        
        (But people at work are telling me I look skinny, so who knows?) -- nm - Kim Pine May 20, 07:22 4
        
        you probably lost inches and put on muscle mass - Epiphany May 20, 07:32 1
        
        yep - Hot Birthday Girl. -- nm - Diva May 20, 08:05
        
        that is because you no longer have Goofy attached to your hip. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 07:23 1
        
        cutest picture ever! -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 07:41
- I'd flip Animal Kingdom to #1 but otherwise that's probably right. -- nm - oblique May 20, 07:03 1
  - You shouldn't be allowed to talk to people. -- nm - David May 20, 07:04
- I tend to agree, although I like Toy Story, Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror more than the rides at Epcot. -- nm - Kim Pine May 20, 07:03 7
  - Power Rankings for Hollywood Studios/Epcot rides: - David May 20, 07:07 6
    - no Star Wars Tours??!! -- nm - Beaker May 20, 07:11 5
      - How was that ride anyway? It wasn't open back when we went and I was disappoint. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:20 3
        
        It's okay. It makes me a little motion sick. - Kim Pine May 20, 07:23
        
        it was our favorite. did it twice as later in the day there was no line (different version too so that was even better) -- nm - Beaker May 20, 07:21 1
        
        Cool. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:25
      - Fine. Make it 7. -- nm - David May 20, 07:12
- Animal Kingdom was our favorite last year. Not a line for almost the entire day -- nm - Beaker May 20, 07:02 5
  - I can see where people with kids might enjoy it more than we do. -- nm - Kim Pine May 20, 07:03 3
    - I was disappointed that we could not get to AK when we were there. - groiny May 20, 07:28
    - yeah, my wife and I would have loved to explore Epcot more but the kids made that more difficult - Beaker May 20, 07:25
    - I see this being the exact opposite for MK. However, I went in 2011 so MK could be highly improved now. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 07:05
  - 1) Animal Kingdom, 2) Hollywood Studios, 3) Magic Kingdm, 4) hotel, 5) Epcot -- nm - Beaker May 20, 07:03
Word. -- nm - Jim May 20, 07:00
