here's a good trivia q: in 1994, Jennifer Aniston starred in pilots for two series that premiered at the same time that year. Name them both. - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 10:23 9
- i googled, didn't find the answer, but, she was in Ferris Bueller? -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 10:26 6
  - she was but that's not it. something called "Muddling Through" on CBS - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 10:27 5
    - Actually, I didn't know that. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 10:32
    - i haven't seen it in a while, but i've seen it since i knew who she was, who is she in Ferris? -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 10:29 3
      - The Jennifer Grey character. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 10:29 2
        
        oh, maybe i never did see that.... -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 10:30 1
        
        (and amusing that JG played her friend Mindy on Friends.) -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 10:31

IGN gives Final Fantasy XIII 8.9 out of 10. - David Mar 9, 10:21 10
- Mmmm... that kinda sucks, that's always been one of my favorite things of the FF series. -- nm - celedhring Mar 9, 10:24
- one review I read said it takes 10 or so hours before the player fully understands the game, the story, - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:23 7
  - let me find that review -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:26 1
    - here it is -- (link) - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:32
  - so not a jumping on point for this game series. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 10:23 4
    - basically the first part of the game is very linear and while setting up a lot of the story, is sorta like a season of Lost - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:25
    - Well, for the most part every FF game has an independent story and characters, only FF X-2 was a sequel iirc. - celedhring Mar 9, 10:25 2
      - except this game and a few more will be set in the same "universe" so they seem to spend more time setting up the mythos in this one. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:26 1
        
        Aha, I didn't know that. That's actually interesting for a change. - celedhring Mar 9, 10:36
- Yeah - from what I was reading I decided not to rush out and get it until I hear more from people who've played it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 10:22

  - Crafted an unstable curd and got lucky with 10 of the new cheese from 1 stone rather than 3. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 10:28 4
    - oh nice. i hadn't tried that yet. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 10:30 3
      - It's a crap shoot. Might get more of the new cheese, other types, or nothing. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 10:33 2
        
        after seeing those odds, there's no way i'm trying that. - TFox Mar 9, 10:37
        
        *crapchute* -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 10:35
yarp -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 10:20
interesting, newegg supposedly got a batch of fake icore 7 chips recently. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 10:19

- One of the things our group worked on at Motorola was the whole idea of barcode scanning on posters/media and linking it to mobile phones - oblique Mar 9, 10:12 6
  - sort of like the Microsoft Tag system? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 10:13 5
    - Yeah pretty much the same idea. This was back when the Startac was still the darling of Motorola though -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 10:17 4
      - that s*it was tight yo. just like Kirk's communicator! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 10:26
      - the original cellular flipphones? My mom had one of those -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 10:24 2

- Do we know what he's pleading guilty 'to'? Extortion or a lesser crime... - Old Antarctic Explorer Mar 9, 10:42

- when do they get the chickenpox vaccine? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:44 8
  - A lot of pediatricians don't give the chickenpox vaccine. nm - Jim Mar 9, 10:17
  - she had her measles one in '04...don't know the medical name for chicken pox -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:46 6
    - Variola. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:47 4
      - have varicella in 04...no variola -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:48 2
        
        anyway, if she had varicella vaccine she is not likely to have chickenpox. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:49
        
        I had a french hiccup. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:49

- Wow....3 whole races? What a joke - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:42 9
  - obviously, the solution is to build higher/stronger fences to protect the fans, and encourage the drivers to drive even more aggressively... :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:52
  - They should have parked him. Payback at 170+ mph can't be tolerated. - sgtmike Mar 9, 09:45 6
    - if it ain't rubbin it ain't racin! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 09:47 5
      - They are only concerned because the 12 went airborne - sgtmike Mar 9, 09:48 4
        
        Glad to see they're worried about their competitive balance too. A car in the top 5 getting wrecked by a guy with no chance - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:50 2
        
        i'm thinking about asking for a refund for all of my penalties!!!! -- nm - @KevinHarvick (twitter) Mar 9, 09:56 1
        
        That's awesome and I can't stand Harvick - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:58

    - I'm not going to insta-drop Guerrier, and that was exactly my fear. Weird logic like "he's so good in the 8th. he'll blow in the 9th." - TFox Mar 9, 09:45

- well considering you hated Big Fish you will probably fall asleep -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 09:35 7
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:40
  - People who hate Big Fish are the worst kind of people. Possibly worse than Spawn's foodtard. (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:36 5
    - Mine is genetics, Redmond's is stupidity. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:40 4
      - well if yours is merely genetic then that's easily fixed - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 09:42 2
        
        I like the way you think -- nm - Khan Noonien Singh Mar 9, 09:55

  - only one was full price. - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:31 1
    - err, by new one I mean full price one. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:31
And has the "Russian Rickroll" been discussed in this place already? -- (link) - celedhring Mar 9, 09:28
Tomorrow, Jon Hamm of Mad Men turns 39. I don't know why it bothers me that he is younger than me by 9 months. I guess he comes across as playing much - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:28 19
- Nathan Fillion turns 39 at the end of the month. -- nm - Max Mar 9, 09:34 3

- well it's a good quesiton how old he's supposed to be playing. - Reagen Mar 9, 09:29 2
  - Accoding to IMDb he was born Sept 25, 1929. That can't be right. Only 34 in 1963? -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:37 1
    - That's a tad younger than I expected, but I wouldn't put him at 40 in the show. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:38
- That's what bothers you about him? - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:28 11

        Oh jeez. Now I remember that. I was thinking of Ham and Bubbly. (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:35 4
        
        *loved* that skit; I came away liking Buble for that. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:35 3
        
        I hadn't really had an opinion on Buble before that, but I was highly amused. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 09:36 2
        
        Same here. I really liked his musical duet performance on that show, too. (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:37 1
        
        That was one of SNL's better efforts in a while imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:37
      - His SNL thing with Michael Buble, no? (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:33 1
        
        *no* that's Hamm and Bubbly -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 09:34
