Why the @#$@#$ would Sony sell units that don't have a charger for their wireless controller? - Will Hunting Nov 27, 12:15 4
- Because it would up the price. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 12:19
- There should be one in the box. -- nm - Shaun Nov 27, 12:19
- They don't take batteries? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 12:17
- sounds like they're stealing ideas from microsoft -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:16
New report: Tiger's agent says he's "fine." -- nm - mara Nov 27, 12:13 1
- Course, he said "Meal ticket is fine." -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 12:16
Holy crap, slowest blue line train ever -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 12:09
ugh. I'm soooooooooo tired right now. And it's soooooooooooo slow. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 12:08
now MSNBC.com sez charges pending in Tiger's crash - giganto Nov 27, 11:49 21
- *scraps the racing component to TW 2010* -- nm - EA Sports Nov 27, 12:13
- the [poor fire hydrant. it's gonna be in prison for a long time :( -- nm - peglegpete Nov 27, 12:01
- ESPN reporting the crash was "as he was pulling out of his driveway" and that alcohol was not involved. -- (link) - TFox Nov 27, 11:54 13
  - how are you seriously injured pulling out of your driveway at 2:30 in the morning? - Guy Nov 27, 11:57 12
    - That guy in Office Space did, though it wasn't at 2:30 in the morning. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 12:02
    - further detail: the airbags did not deploy in the car, and the highway patrol didn't report the accident for almost 12 hours. -- (link) - TFox Nov 27, 12:00 2
      - The odd thing is that Tiger's usually pretty straight off the drive. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:16 1
        
        *rimshot* -- nm - Guy Nov 27, 12:17
    - Maybe the "seriously injured" part is erroneous, then. -- nm - mara Nov 27, 12:00 7
      - total speculation, but it almost sounds like the injuries/health issue caused the crash. - TFox Nov 27, 12:04
      - serious condition just means they're watching you for a bit. It doesn't have a specific meaning. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:03 5
        
        The words in the report were "seriously injured," though. Now there's a report saying "At first, he was said to be seriously injured in the accident, - mara Nov 27, 12:05 4
        
        hmm. i think i'm going to play Torchlight for an hour and hope there is more info when i'm done. -- nm - TFox Nov 27, 12:06
        
        which would just be a cousin of "serious condition". You just use general words early on in these situations. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:06 2
        
        Well, yeah, that's why I said that phrase might be erroneous. -- nm - mara Nov 27, 12:08 1
        
        but the point I'm making is that it isn't neccesarily just because he's not going to be in a body cast. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:09
- the crash was at 2:30 in the morning. Even Tiger can't resist Black Friday deals. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 11:53 1
  - best buy smash 'n' grab. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 11:53
- wait, what? Tiger Woods? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 11:50 2

      - 's Solaris, but I'm relatively alone in that. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 11:57 2
        
        Not really. I thoroughly enjoy the movie. Still watch it now and again. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 12:01
        
        i liked it better the second time. i generally like the 'going crazy in space' genre. -- nm - Guy Nov 27, 12:00
- Hopes you're talking about Man in the Moon. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 11:40 3
  - no. Sam Rockwell + Kevin Spacey + the Moon -- (link) - Guy Nov 27, 11:53 1
    - Whew. I thought, surely you couldn't be talking about New Moon. (the and don't call my Shirley nt.) -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 12:03
