David Duchovny appearing at comic cons seems odd to me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:16 2
- Jeremy Renner is Oscar-nominated and he was at Chicago's Comic Con for pictures and autographs. It's all about the studio's promotional needs. -- nm - Elvis Aug 28, 08:23

    - As late as 1997 our office was using a single AOL account and using up the last of our letterhead with a telex number on it. -- nm - Max Aug 28, 09:02
    - I still remember being the first year on the deal being in charge of distributing the latest drafts by fax and FedEx. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 28, 08:23 4
      - The great thing about the fedex deadline was that if you missed it you had a whole extra day to work on stuff. Now it doesn't matter how late it is, - pmb Aug 28, 08:26 3

        People also tended to negotiate the documents a lot less back then. Actually focused on the points that mattered rather than negotiating for the sake - pmb Aug 28, 08:33
        
        Marker and a ruler. You couldn't show the deleted text. You just put a carat to reflect that it was deleted. I could actually bill for that time. - pmb Aug 28, 08:30
  - *hands you the pink copy* -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:15
  - I lived that life. It was better in some ways and worse in others. We all used to gather at one firm and the tough deals were all nighters. It was - pmb Aug 28, 08:14

  - sure? :) -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 08:12 2
    - St. Andrews is likely better as it's a mainland location, as opposed to needing to take a ferry to GM. -- (edited) - Shaun Aug 28, 08:17 1
      - thanks! -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 08:20
I'm currently at about lvl 2.5 for Iron Banner on the hunter. Not getting the Iron Wrath bounty on either day is slowing me down. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:02 30
- Did you see the pic of the Taken King IB gear? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 08:26 1
  - Negative! Linky? -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:26

  - Ducky Duckerton is a fucking machine. - groiny Aug 28, 08:18 8
    - I am curious how well he will play if he really does stop drinking. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:24
    - I presume that's the guy you let take my place. - Imperator Aug 28, 08:21 6
      - "I really like playing with Spades, he is a good dude" - groiny Aug 28, 08:23 5
        
        Did I ever block you from playing in favor of Spades? - Imperator Aug 28, 08:24 4
        
        nobody blocked you from playing. You have told me repeatedly you do not like crucible. - groiny Aug 28, 08:26 3
        
        You actually did. - Imperator Aug 28, 08:29 2
        
        I can't just leave the party I am in in the middle of a game we are trying to win. - groiny Aug 28, 08:31 1
        
        Which of the three games you didn't send an invite are you referencing? -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 08:33
- My Titan is 859/2400 towards 3 and I did not even play last night. I did not get IW or the machine gun streak one either day. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:06 16
  - Tips for the machine gun streak: 1) Get heavy 2) Go hide somewhere til everyone else blows thru their heavy and/or dies 3) pwn people with no heavy. - Shaun Aug 28, 08:09 14
    - Sorry, I am all about Gjallarhorn. Then again, Wednesday night I shot one dude in the head with it and it did zero damage. - Spawn Aug 28, 08:19 9
      - honestly, this has been the worst IB for me, with regards to lag and or lag switchers. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:20 3
        
        I got sick of shotguns after Wednesday night and went back to my old playstyle of perimeter shooting. -- (edited) - Shaun Aug 28, 08:24 2
        
        On the first night we had a guy that was doing the slide/shotgun move. He was firing in any direction he wanted. And he even slid around a corner once -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:28 1
        
        yeah, I have been running into guys shooting sideways from where they were standing. - groiny Aug 28, 08:29
      - So...htf are you supposed to get the machine gun streak if you don't use a machine gun...? -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:19 4
        
        I don't even pick up the bounty. I simply hate machine guns in destiny. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:23 2
        
        if you have a Jolders Hammer or a BTRD with the right perks, it makes that bounty much easier. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:24 1
        
        Plus it's a complete joke mowing down guys with Jolders when they do not have heavy :) -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:26
        
        it's spawn. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:20
    - every time I have gotten either the 10 streak or the machine gun one, I hung back more than usual. - groiny Aug 28, 08:17 3
      - I really need to. I am sure my K/D would vastly increase. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:19 1
        
        it would not take much to go up from .40 . nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:28
      - I'm pretty sure I was at 9 about 4 or 5 times last night and just didn't something half dumb to wreck the streak. - Shaun Aug 28, 08:19
  - I am level 3 on my hunter and level 2 on the warlock. - groiny Aug 28, 08:08
Anyone thinking of buying a home, it looks like the IRS has silently changed some procedures on tax return verification. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 28, 08:01 3
- that makes no sense. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 08:02 2
  - Their budgets have been cut and Congress keeps passing new laws. There has to be a breaking point somewhere. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 28, 08:05 1
    - This explains why they were really quick to remind me I still owed that $300 penalty. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 08:24
Caveman Draft poll: We're currently at 2-10. Will we get to round 3 today? What about round 4? -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 07:58 5
- One of these years, the stars will all align with the sun and we will finish first. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 07:59 4
  - If the stars aligned with the sun, we'd fear the angry sky, and hide in our caves. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 08:03 1
    - At least we'd draft faster... -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 08:04
  - Pull the other one -- nm - znufrii Aug 28, 08:00
  - L4. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:00
Sorry, took longer than I thought. Baton passed. Krusty, samara, Baron for a pair.... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 07:56 15
- *unzips* -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Aug 28, 08:02 2
  - I'm waiting on a response from samara, but if she's not interested and my guy is still there, willing... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 08:07 1
    - I like trading down, but I think I'm going to stand pat this time. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Aug 28, 08:23
- Pretty sure Krusty submitted a list. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 07:58 11
  - I did. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 08:08 10
    - If you are able to post here...Wanna do this pick (4-6) and your tenth for my next two (5-8 & 6-5)? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 08:11 9
      - Disregard. David submitted the pick. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 08:12 8
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 08:18 7
        
        Highest guy ranked on my board, but have him in another league and don't like betting on rooks that heavily. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 08:20 6
        
        Are you guys seeing reports about Tevin Coleman that I'm not? -- (edited) - Imperator Aug 28, 08:22 5
        
        Potential RB2 if everything breaks his way, solid Flex by mid-season is what I'm reading. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 08:24
        
        Supposedly he'll get action tomorrow. Farther along than Devonta. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:24 2
        
        Sure, but he's third on the depth chart. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 08:29
        
        Yup. If this draft was next week we'd know more about a few guys like him so without that we have to take a chance on him and others. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 08:28
        
        It's the special NoDavids Newsfeed. No Davids! -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Aug 28, 08:24

We will be finding out if Nathan can handle the Kinect (360 version). We got a Disney Kinect Adventures for $12 last night - Will Hunting Aug 28, 07:39 6

- how old now? -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 07:40 4
  - Princess Disney and him are four months apart if I remember right and Princess Disney will turn four in October. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 28, 07:51 3

  - Hang in there, baby ruiner! -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 07:55

      - We only had Naked Raygun. It had been announced that we would have Iggy Pop, but did not. - Spawn Aug 28, 08:22
- I'm so annoyed. I have to go to a friend's wedding reception tomorrow and it's going to make me miss seeing them. I can't not go to the reception. - pmb Aug 28, 07:51 4
  - we enjoyed them so much. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 07:57
  - do you have tickets? or would be be buying from a scalper at the show? -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 07:57 1
    - I'd either be buying from a scalper or getting them from one of my other partners who do have tickets to the show but can't go because they're also - pmb Aug 28, 08:00
  - No worries. - Spawn Aug 28, 07:55
- Yup -- nm - Ender Aug 28, 07:48 4
