- D -- nm - oblique Mar 31, 12:05
- B -- nm - TFox Mar 31, 12:04
- B. The language makes no mention that the crime has to be perpetrated against the person. -- nm - pmb Mar 31, 12:04
- D -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 12:01
- B seems too obvious but I'll go with that anyway. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 12:01
- B (though since they were convicted of the burglary, aside from the attempted arson, it's a moot point to me) -- nm - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 12:01

woman wins $42.9 million dollars at a penny slot machine. casino refuses to pay out -- (link) - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:53 17
- "...she deserves the full prize" Grrrr. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 12:06 1
  - agreed, with your IM. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:20
- /rereads/ You know what? Now I want $92.4 million. -- nm - dyslexic woman Mar 31, 12:03
- or: "Woman sees $42.9 payout on the screen, clearly in error according to the machine and posted rules but demands it all anyways" -- nm - oblique Mar 31, 12:01 1
  - Not really. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:01
- Law suit time. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:00

- I don't see why they aren't obligated to give her the posted prize. -- nm - mara Mar 31, 11:55 9
  - Sucks for the lady, but sounds like the casino is in the right. - musubi Mar 31, 12:03 2
    - It's not even clear that she won anything, even the top prize. The machine could have simply malfunctioned and she actually won nothing - oblique Mar 31, 12:06 1
      - Willy Wonka! - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 12:08
  - Yeah. That would be the right thing. And maybe some stuff (dinner, hotel, etc.). -- nm - Don Homer Mar 31, 11:57
  - I haven't read the article but let me guess ... there was a "machine malfunction" so they aren't obligated. Such B.S. -- nm - zork Mar 31, 11:56 4
    - The casino is saying that if the lady won a prize they will honour it, but they're waiting on the state's investigation -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 12:01 2
      - I can see the payout amount being disputed but if the machine shows a win then there should be no dispute of that. -- nm - zork Mar 31, 12:12 1
        
        What it says and what the slot wheels show are two very different things. If the wheels were in a winning position, great, but it could also have - oblique Mar 31, 12:13
    - correctamundo! -- nm - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:57
It looks so odd to see GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's resume -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 11:51 3
- "Any regrets..?" -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 11:52 2
  - I love the "maybe" part of the response -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 11:54 1
    - It probably bought him a nice house -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 11:55

- um...yup. -- nm - Diva Mar 31, 11:48
- it was always Roland Emmerich garbage from the day it opened - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:48
- parts of it I like a lot still. Though the stripper storyline could be cut easily. -- nm - Remlik Mar 31, 11:45 1
  - Are we really arguing the merits of ID4? -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 11:46
- i thought the same thing haha -- nm - G.waa.h Mar 31, 11:42
Hmm...Amazon has Batman Arkham Asylum for $29.99 now. *tempted* -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:40 28
- Worth. It. -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 11:52
- You can get Mass Effect 2 at Family Video used for 29.99 and Arkham for 29.99 and Bioshock 2 for 39.99. all used though -- nm - sycor Mar 31, 11:49 8
  - [deleted] 6
    - Amazon has that, too. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 12:01 5
      - Yeah, they were $50 on Monday, and then Walmart beat them yesterday. - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:04 4
        
        I see the first one all the time on Amazon for $20 new. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 12:05 3
        
        We should just trade Batman for Bioshock. - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:06
        
        (I already have the first one, though.) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 12:05
        
        Aye, Bioshock's normal new price is $20 now. -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 12:05

- I think I'm bored with FFXIII. I just ordered Heavy Rain - decline Mar 31, 11:43 4
  - I opted to play FF13 first instead of Heavy Rain, so I can't give you any sort of a review. - Shaun Mar 31, 11:49
  - My oldest daughter's birthday is next month, and our youngest daughter wants to get FF13 for her. - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:44
  - Chubby Rain! -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 31, 11:43 1
    - Purple Rain! -- nm - eag Mar 31, 11:47
- totally worth it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 11:42
- I will miss you in Halo, but do it. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 31, 11:41 6
  - I saw you got back on last night. - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:45 5
    - Nah, groiny got on so I stayed. - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:15
    - sorry for ignoring your requests last night but I was trying to get a buddy of mine going on halo -- nm - J Mar 31, 12:06 3
      - Ah, I thought you were too good for us. - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:16 2
        
        you deleted me? -- nm - J Mar 31, 12:18

  - heh. - groiny Mar 31, 11:41
ohhhh yeahhh -- nm - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:40 1

Board games coming to the iPad -- (link) - oblique Mar 31, 11:39 23

  - mmm...cribbage... - znufrii Mar 31, 11:45
  - I got a Euchre app on my Blackberry that I play all the time. -- nm - decline Mar 31, 11:44 4
    - I used to know how to play Euchre. -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 11:53
    - Ooh, I could learn Euchre. And bridge. *goes back to the Android market* -- nm - TFox Mar 31, 11:46 2
      - I love the Android market. - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:48 1
        
        Of all the things the new phone does, the one inspiring the most envy *by far* is Google Sky Map. - TFox Mar 31, 12:15
- "Board" or "bored"? -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 11:42
- That's so innovative! I never would have thought to play checkers or chess on a computer! -- nm - decline Mar 31, 11:40 7
  - It's less about innovation and entirely about convergence. There are so many applications that a device of this since and interface touches - oblique Mar 31, 11:42 6
    - I can see touch-screen on a small device, but the bigger it gets, the less I like it. Will you have to put a screen protector on it? -- nm - mara Mar 31, 11:53 4

    - oh agreed. People totally love to finger things... - decline Mar 31, 11:44
- portable scrabble is the killer amanda app - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:40 6
  - Words with Friends! -- nm - Don Homer Mar 31, 11:45
  - You're gonna do what to Amanda now? -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 11:45 3
    - bust her rack - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:45 2
      - You're just jealous that she never offered to hook up with you like she did with znufrii. -- (link) - Mop (220 lbs) Mar 31, 11:48 [Backboard] 1
        
        on the upside, i don't get hit with a 9% slut tax -- nm - mr. pricklepants Mar 31, 11:50
  - I saw some mockup where you had the iPad as the board and each player used their iPhone as their letter holder. It looked cool - oblique Mar 31, 11:41
OMG, the outfit in the Brooks Brothers ad is hilarious. -- (link) - mara Mar 31, 11:38 3
