Has anyone asked Michael Jackson what he thinks of the whole Thriller-revival thing? -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 08:23 13
- I'm Michael Jackson and I approve this revival. but then, I approve of self-mutilation and sleeping with boys. -- nm - Michael Jackson Oct 29, 08:35
- I still think the video with the Asian inmates rehearsing it is all sorts of awesome -- (link) - celedhrymandias Oct 29, 08:33 [youtube]
- is there more than those french kids? what "revival"? -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 08:33 6

- You are giving me a "do you like Michael Jackson" ad complete with creepy picture. You suck. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 29, 08:31
- Would you expect to get a lucid answer from him? -- nm - Max Oct 29, 08:27
- I was wondering this yesterday. - Mel Profit Oct 29, 08:27
- I'm sure we'll find out as soon as he lands back on this planet -- nm - con_carnage Oct 29, 08:27
this girl is 'barely sixteen'? (tasteless bride pic inside.) -- (link) - Halloween Candie Oct 29, 08:23 13
- I'd totally pork the busty mom/bridesmaid. She looks like a lot of fun. -- nm - Pumpkin Pie-inbaked Uzi w/ jam Oct 29, 09:02
- i'm not sure which i'm more offended by... her appearance ("it's pronounced ' tramp'") or the fact that her dad spent - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 29, 08:53
- Ah, it's their wedding, I say good for them -- nm - con_carnage Oct 29, 08:29 1
  - and it's a Rolls Royce Phantom she's getting out of, not a 50 year old classic Rolls. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:30

So my Game 1 WS Red Sox ticket that I should've been out $15 for? - Shaun of the Dead Oct 29, 08:15 2

Yes! Now my neighbor's kid can join the Nazi club at high school! -- (link) - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:15
I know it has been mentioned numerous times already, but I can.not.believe. HSX is going to give up that easily on the new version. - Count Beakula Oct 29, 08:12 6
- They're not. They're giving people the old game back for the time being, while they fix what's broken. - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:15 5
  - What's strange to me is that they had made quite a bit of headway on fixing what was wrong already. - pmb Oct 29, 08:44
  - I think the schmoozing business also gunked up the works. Plus I imagine they'll lose ad revenue if everyone abandons -- nm - budice Oct 29, 08:18 2
    - I'm sure there are some people who liked the idea of free money and if they get rid of that *those* people might leave. - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:22 1
      - funny thing is that money never dropped into ports.. kept a running tally, but nobody got anything from it. -- nm - colin Oct 29, 08:24
  - yes, it was like putting your baby in the tub and leaving the water running.... it should have been turned off immediately. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:17
LYC-With the help of my yoga teacher I did this yesterday. -- (link) - lileve Oct 29, 08:11 [Image]
Tonight's game isn't even a full game, is it? -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 08:08 3
- three and a half innings. - znufrii Oct 29, 08:11 2
  - Have they figure out when 6 and 7 (if needed) will be? -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 08:11 1
    - I think I saw somewhere that they'd play a game 6 tomorrow in TB. - znufrii Oct 29, 08:12

- *nods* -- nm - zombie Orson Welles SI Oct 29, 08:26
has anyone here seen Synecdoche, NY? - znufrii Oct 29, 08:05 6
- Well, I would describe it as being repeatedly stabbed with a knife, in a bad way. - celedhrymandias Oct 29, 08:10
- SS saw it, and said it was 'weird for weird's sake', IIRC. I guess they have fashioned the weird into a crude point. Weaponized weird. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:07
- you need to never talk to that person again -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 08:06 3
  - it was my ex. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:06 2
    - Your ex stabbed you repeatedly in a good way? -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:07 1
      - ummm....no. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:08
Hmm, of the 3 cable news nets 1 wasn't offered the Obama 30-minute commercial, 1 turned it down, and 1 is airing it. - Ender Oct 29, 08:02 17
- "No one will delay the World Series game with an infomercial when I'm president," John McCain said Tuesday. - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:04 7
  - But NFL games? Those can wait. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 08:05
  - The gamer isn't being delayed. The pre-game show is not happening. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:05 3
    - It's delayed a little bit (17 minutes I believe). -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:06 2
      - first pitch hasn't happened until after 8:30 anyway, even if they had an 8:20 scheduled start -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:06 1
        
        "It's slow and boring, no one will notice" is not the same as "It's not being delayed" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 08:34
  - he's a douche. I've really lost *a lot* of respect for him. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:05
  - Dictator McCain? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:05
- Basically MSNBC is for sale. Yuk -- nm - Guigue Oct 29, 08:03 6
  - I guess Fox and CBS are too... ?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:05 5
    - I take issue with a news network picking up this informercial. - ty97 Oct 29, 08:06
    - Those aren't "news" networks though. -- nm - Ender Oct 29, 08:06 3
      - Yeah I meant the news is for sale at MSNBC -- nm - Guigue Oct 29, 08:07 2
        
        well it's Olberman's slot that they're taking over anyway, so I'd think it would be seen as a plus for news in that regard. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:08 1
        
        True, I suppose it is actually a net-positive on the objectivity scale. -- nm - Ender Oct 29, 08:14
- 30 minute commercial... what's he doing, selling me a Magic Bullet? - colin Oct 29, 08:03
- I'll be watching Pushing Daisies. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 08:03
For your listening pleasure, i give you "Downtown" by - amoxy Oct 29, 08:01 [youtube] 3
- Thanks, my monitor's screen just cracked. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 08:06
- ah, good old Mrs. Miller -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:04
- Love that tune, and its Dr. Demento send-up. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:02
Is kilbo still around? I've been thinking about our conversation on downloading games from yesterday (D2?). - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:00 4
- And just FYI. I still struggle with it in many situations such as the other day I torrented The Unit. I had recorded it at home but missed 30 minute - kilboooo Oct 29, 08:23 1
  - I think CBS would probably be grateful for your loyalty; I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:34
- In principle I would. I've been in your position and I've had a change of heart regarding it to my position now. Regardless of age or availability, - kilboooo Oct 29, 08:18 1
  - I have to respect your ethical discipline, and I have to, to an extent, concede you the point. That said, I'm not going to keep an NES around just - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:31
Sony takes a 72% plunge.... - Remlik Oct 29, 07:59 36
- Though the gaming division's sales increased, selling twice as many PS3 consoles and games. - Ender Oct 29, 08:05 9
  - ps3 q2 sales were up 86%, that's really not "nearly twice"...nm - x Oct 29, 08:08
  - The PS2 outsold the PS3. I still find that funny. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:07 6
    - Interestingly, they just announced they're going open-platform on the PS2. - Ender Oct 29, 08:21 1
      - This can only be good for gamers. Maybe I'll finally get Duck Hunt ported to PS2 like I've always wanted. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:36
    - I think I can still wring a year of enjoyment out of my PS2. I just started FFX yesterday, so I've got that series and God of War before I'm bored. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:11 3
      - i played both persona 3 and yakuza 2 on ps2 this year. both were great....nm - x Oct 29, 08:31
      - I never finished GoW2, and my daughter still does DanceDanceRevolution occasionally. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:16 1
        
        Oh, that reminds me: there's a new Tomb Raider next month so, you know, I got that goin for me. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:42
  - [deleted]
- Does any of this mean I should be able to afford a PS3 in the nearer future? -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:01 22
  - it's really one of the main reasons that they can't cut the price. they've put themselves in a tough spot as a company... - x Oct 29, 08:05 19
    - There's that, but also I think that with some major exclusives like LBP, Resistance 2, & eventually Killzone coming out they don't see the need either - Ender Oct 29, 08:13 3
      - they're getting pummelled by the 360 in the us and uk because of the price comparison and have even lost 6 weeks running in japan.... - x Oct 29, 08:25 2
        
        Sony has had to move away from pushing out as many consoles as possible, and more towards making a profit each quarter. - Inigo Oct 29, 08:32 1
        
        they hamstrung themselves by *promising* a profit which essentially dictated they couldn't cut price by xmas... - x Oct 29, 08:39
    - I think it will see increasing market share as blu-ray starts edges out DVD over time, unless the Xbox add-on really takes off. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:09 14
      - maybe. but when your previous console's market share was upwards of 90% and you follow it with what the ps3 has done..... - x Oct 29, 08:22 1
        
        It's very similar to what Nintendo did the 64: Try to push third party developers around... - Inigo Oct 29, 08:29
      - They've been saying that for months though. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:12 8
        
        The PS3 pluses (first party exclusives, Blu-Ray) are balanced by XBox's third party dominance, and cheaper price. - Inigo Oct 29, 08:23 7
        
        except for Metal Gear Solid, Sony has no 1st party exclusives that are system sellars anymore. Resistance 2 (while good) isn't going to move units. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 08:32 5
        
        maybe not system sellers, but there are some excellent looking exclusives coming. lbp and infamous and heavy rain should all be aces...nm - x Oct 29, 08:37 3
        
        Ibp? what's that one? -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 08:38 2
        
        little big planet. the big exclusive that shipped this week...nm - x Oct 29, 08:40 1
        
        Mine's at my house! - Callisto Oct 29, 08:50
        
        GT5 will, but that's a while away. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 08:33
        
        i think they'll end up around parity worldwide, ultimately. sony has a much stronger global reach and a longer term plan....nm - x Oct 29, 08:28
      - If Microsoft was smart, I think they would make a blu ray player standard on the 360 asap. -- nm - Subversive Oct 29, 08:12 2
        
        rumor is that the Xbox 2.5 will be that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 08:24
        
        They have no need to do that. And it would drive up their costs significantly. Blu-ray simply isn't the seller (so far) that some people had hoped. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:14
  - No, this means it will cost you $999 now. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:03 1
    - Rats! *shakes fist at currency markets* -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 08:05
- Stupid American weakness in the dollar. Even when PS3 sells like it should, we lose. (nm) - Ken Kataguri SI Oct 29, 08:00
- ouch. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 08:00
- ha! -- nm - colin Oct 29, 08:00
