- I admit, I was chuckling at it until that certain point. - Spawn Aug 24, 13:21

- Nothing's made me go "Holy Shit!" like the Ontario Health and Workplace Safety PSAs. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 13:21 6

IGN gives Arkham Asylum 9.3 out of 10. -- nm - David Aug 24, 13:16 14
- BTW, the armour that Walmart is giving away? It unlocks after you beat it, anyway so go to TRU and get the $. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:36

  - I think that there are three must buy games between now and the end of the year and this is one of them. - David Aug 24, 13:28 3

      - Agreed (but after finishing Vegas, now I need to buy Vegas 2. Damn you, clancy!) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 13:30
  - ditto. And I love ghostbusters, so it's weird that it fell into that pile. - Beryllium Aug 24, 13:25 1
    - If I see Ghostbusters fall to the $20-$30 price range, I'll try it. I'll admit I'm a bit more tempted for Batman. - JaxSean Aug 24, 13:29
- I'm not even remotely a gamer, but doesn't IGN effectively use a scale of 7 to 10? - musubi Aug 24, 13:17 4
  - They all do. It's basically the grading scale from grade school -- nm - Ender Aug 24, 13:24
  - This sounds like My Kind of Publication. - Beryllium Aug 24, 13:23
  - Mostly, yeah, but 9.3 is a top 5 percentile grade. -- nm - David Aug 24, 13:19
  - yes. -- nm - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 13:18
- Losers. - Spawn Aug 24, 13:17
"I have a throbbing head and a throbbing coccyx." - loosilu Aug 24, 13:16 5
- I think that was the single unfunniest Psych yet. Every joke seemed forced. -- nm - TWuG Aug 24, 13:24 4
  - what?? "Then who's the victim?" "The partridge!" -- nm - Max Aug 24, 13:34
  - See, that is how they *all* are to me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:33
  - maybe overall, but that particular conversation slayed me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:25 1
    - One use of coccyx is funny. 3 uses, all progressively homoerotic? Not funny. -- nm - TWuG Aug 24, 13:36
Are we familiar with Papa Murphy's pizza chain? -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 13:14 16

    - while wearing Mary Janes? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 13:33
- On Valentine's Day they have heart shaped pizzas. - Spawn Aug 24, 13:19
- They're not bad, and not too expensive, we used to get their pizzas every once in a while, but our local pizza shop (just down the block) has better - Stephen Aug 24, 13:19
- I haven't had one in years, but really liked them at the time. - Callisto Aug 24, 13:18

- I'm now imagining you as Mr. Burns using the "computatrix." -- nm - con_carne Aug 24, 13:12
- "Jaleo !!" -- nm - Jammed Uzi Aug 24, 13:10
- That's the vegetable oil-based substitute for regular phones. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 13:08
Jackson Died From Lethal Levels Of Propofol -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 24, 13:02 4
- Cannot wait until "This is It" comes out - MDH Aug 24, 13:09
- "Due to its appearance and amnestic effects, propofol is jocularly called "milk of amnesia" by medical professionals." -- nm - wikipedia Aug 24, 13:09 2
  - Well, the jerk had a lot that he would like to forget. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:12
  - sounds like serious stuff. incredible that he was taking it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:11
For beautiful Irish ballads I think this one ranks right up there with Danny Boy..... - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 13:00
One thing I've never understood about the Batman universe is Arkham. - Ender Aug 24, 12:59 18
- There are actually several places where supervillains are housed. They break out of all of them. -- nm - TWuG Aug 24, 13:03 3
  - What they really need to do is house them in blister packs. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:04 2
    - I recommend LUCITE! -- nm - Comic Book Store Guy Aug 24, 13:04 1

- arkham asylum is the best pro-death penatly example there is - dogbert183 Aug 24, 13:02
- Oh, it is constantly upgraded. The real solution is to ship people further away, to separate facilities. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:00 12
  - Like the Negative Zone! -- nm - David Aug 24, 13:17 1
    - Don't try to apply logic to the DC universe. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:18

        halo the stand alone game sucks. - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 13:12 4
        
        I may have to. Or move in for a week. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:13
        
        I don't know if I'd say it sucks (of course I wouldn't) - but it's not great. The multiplayer is smoooth and awesome, though. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 13:13 2
        
        compared to most other first person shooters, it would be in the bottom 25th percentile (the game) - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 13:28 1

So a few weeks ago, it was my wife's aunt's birthday. It was my wife's cousin's job to get the cake. - musubi Aug 24, 12:58 5
- This should go up on the cake disasters blog as a great anecdote. -- nm - David Aug 24, 13:18
- that should go on cake disasters. What did your aunt think? :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 13:00
- you need to post a photo. it's absolutely required. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 12:59 2
  - My wife's other cousin had it on his cell phone, I'll see if I can get him to send it to me. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 13:00 1
    - it has to go to my Jewish friends. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:02

LIR: Name in a song? I have a whole damn rock OPERA named after me! - TWuG Aug 24, 12:54 11
- Jerry Springer? -- nm - Dano Aug 24, 13:00

- Jesus ? -- nm - Jammed Uzi Aug 24, 12:57 2
  - Yes, my child? -- nm - TWuG Aug 24, 12:57 1
    - Was your father REALLY a carpenter ? I mean... you have nails IN YOUR HANDS !! - Jammed Uzi Aug 24, 13:08

  - what's your issue with the CDC? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 12:55 13
    - As far as i can tell, the remedy doesn't seem to fit the risk profile. - znufrii Aug 24, 13:00 12
      - It is more that it is the norm, now. Hospitals all but assume you are going to have it done. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 13:02 7
        
        from what I read, it's far less prevalent in the US now than 20 years ago - znufrii Aug 24, 13:03 6
        
        Hmm. Insurance (most) still covers it. - Spawn Aug 24, 13:10 2
        
        I would imagine most private insurance would still cover it, sure, due to customer demand. Public plans are not as beholden thereto. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 13:11 1
        
        That's a pre-existing condition! -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 13:12
        
        well, if the CDC recommends it, that thing in your IM will change. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:04 2
        
        most likely. - znufrii Aug 24, 13:06 1
        
        oh god, oh god, we've got to stop them from unleashing this travesty!!!1 -- nm - DackJawson StandIN #77 Aug 24, 13:12
      - hmmm, dunno. I'll have to read up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:01 3
        
        mostly going from the article I read this weekend which I posted here. I could also be completely wrong on this. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 13:02 2
        
        here's the article -- (link) - znufrii Aug 24, 13:04 1
        
        seems like it could go either way. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 13:07
