Fading fast. Dear Monday, just end it, please! -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 11:03 1
- You know what 2:30 feels like? -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 11:11
I love seeing the Jets in the discussion of the best NFL teams. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 11:01 2
- So far, they have walked the walk. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:03 1
  - Toughest part of the schedule too. I expect them to get better as the season goes on. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 11:06
Strongbad, I think you got your deal on Finley for two reasons: 1) What little demand was there was gone that close to the draft. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 18, 10:56 3
- Frankly, I wasn't interested until a few days before the draft - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:58 2
  - Exactly. But I would argue that had she pushed him on the handful of teams w/o a keeper TE or DEF that should would have got at least a pick upgrade. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 18, 11:00 1
    - Probably. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 11:09
Well, thee Giants game was plenty of fun and the seats were great, but the stadium is.......grey. drab. ugly. -- nm - CQ Oct 18, 10:55 1
- I've heard that it's ugly. That sucks considering how much was spent. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 10:59
I loved friday's Supernatural episode and really liked friday's Smallville episode. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:50 4
- Is Clark still a lil biatch? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:51 3
  - (spoiler on the nature of friday's episode) - crash davis Oct 18, 10:55 2
    - Glad they finally got to that point after 9.1 seasons. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:56 1
      - "Its finally our final season. So lets quit being douches" -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:57
*just noticed Fable III will be available for PC* - znufrii Oct 18, 10:49 2
- maybe. it was supposed to ship simultaneously w/ the console one, but then they pushed it to an unnamed later date....nm - x Oct 18, 10:51 1
  - ah, thought it might be too good to be true... - znufrii Oct 18, 10:52
[deleted] 3
- 3 TB are starting to hit the market, so this will be the default price point moving forward. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:53
- Wow. Related: my 750GB Maxtor is dying. Luckily... - Dr.Vermin Oct 18, 10:50 1
  - I really think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Drobo FS - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:51
-20 SB Points to Comcast for spoiling last night's Amazing Race episode for me just now - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:43 2
- my wife says ditto to your im -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 10:44
- good doggie! -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 10:44
I'm sure the New York Times took no pleasure in its 5-page expose of the mess at the Tribune Co. -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 18, 10:36 1
- i can't wait until they have to sell the LA Times - hachiko Oct 18, 10:39
I really think Sharron Angle is trying to lose the election - amoxy Oct 18, 10:33 19
- if the anti-Angle ads Reid is running are true, I want no part of her and will vote for Harry -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 10:47 2
  - Which parts are you wondering if they're true? -- nm - mara Oct 18, 11:02 1
    - basically none -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 11:03
- "I would like to know who exactly called Sharon Angle the first Asian legislator. Seriously -- who? Some drunk guy in a bar?" Heh. -- (link) - mara Oct 18, 10:36
- I really think they'll elect her anyway. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:35 14
  - [deleted] 13
    - Reid probably deserves to lose his job. It's a shame Nevada Republicans put up a complete nutter against him. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 10:52 1
      - Yeah, the greatest irony will be that he'll possibly survive and 8-9 of his colleagues will lose their jobs becuase of him. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:53
    - It's not like Reid has done much to help himself though. He's been a very lackadasical "leader" of late. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:41 10
      - [deleted] 9
        
        agreed completely -- nm - Guy Oct 18, 10:59
        
        Yes, of late, meaning since 2006 or what not. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:50
        
        well, lackadasical of late being a recent improvement to that... -- nm - znufrii Oct 18, 10:48 6
        
        It's very obvious he's underestimated just how reviled he has become in his state. He's let Angle walk. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:51 5
        
        He should go to bed each night, and give thanks to Jesus, God, Buddha, Allah, Jehovah and all other deities that the Tea Party backed this woman. - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:53 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        They were weak.....but they poll up 10-15% ahead. They lacked status, but they didn't bring the crazy. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:58
        
        I think she'll actually win unless there are enough people who finally get in the booth, look at the names, and say, I just can't do it Angle. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:54 1
        
        She might still win....I'm not saying he's a cinch....but he should be down 10-15% vs a competent candidate. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:57
[deleted] 7
- Between this and the unforgivable drop on the previous series, he broke even. The play R mentions was the best in the game. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:56 1
  - Right? My first thought when that happened was that if they have any more injuries, teach him a few plays and make him a 4th WR. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 10:57
- like i said yesterday... -- (link) - TFox Oct 18, 10:52 [Backboard] 1
  - Kind of underrated is the catch to make the interception at the end of the game. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 10:53
- Wait, I dont' get it. Where's the elaborate celebration for something amazing? - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:37 1
  - [deleted]
- one of the better catches so far this year -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 10:36
Canadian constable (nicknamed �Officer Bubbles� for admonishing a young protester for blowing bubbles) sues YouTube. -- (link) - mara Oct 18, 10:29 7
- "Officer Bubbles" is even funnier as a Canadian in-joke. (See: Trailer Park Boys) -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 18, 10:35 [youtube] 1
  - ... love this clip. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 18, 10:37 [youtube]
- this is all over the news here, the guy was a laughing stock at the time. - Andie Oct 18, 10:32
- *runs* -- nm - JackSean Oct 18, 10:31 3
  - Give me my camera back! -- nm - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:37 2
    - i bet the pictures on that camera put The Hangover's end credits to shame -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 10:38 1
      - I never thought of that. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 18, 10:56
I spent an hour yesterday trying to get that stupid achievement in Halo Reach where you survive a fall by assassinating an elite - crash davis Oct 18, 10:25 15
- I think it's going to take me 80 hours to complete it on Legendary. - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:36 10
  - what peeved me greatly was spending about an hour on a section, walking back before I started and finding the perfect weapon or power-up hidden - crash davis Oct 18, 10:43 5
    - I'm not sure the name of the section (it's in the second part), - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:54 1
      - the whole game is full of revelations like that :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:57
    - heh. that's spawn-level dumb -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 10:44 2
      - I so wish you would waste some money on a 360, Halo Reach and an XBox gold subscription. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:45 1
        
        i could never be sure it wasn't really samwise whose ass i was whooping - hachiko Oct 18, 10:46
  - David and I co-oped......I gave up after the first 17 times of "wow, that didn't take long to die" -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 10:39 3
    - The key is that co-op upscales the difficulty. Legendary solo really isn't that bad. - David Oct 18, 10:58
    - I like when I died less than 10 seconds into a campaign, and the little "failed Survive" thing popped up. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:55
    - I do want to finish it on co-op as well. I'll make myself available a bit for those who want to do so. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:43
- If you search for it on YouTube, there is a video with very good instructions. - David Oct 18, 10:29 3
  - Legendary was a humbling experience. I don't know how many times I died on the guns until I did it your way and hid until the command. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:32 2
    - coward -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 10:33 1
      - twice I got the command to fire on the cruiser but my shields were too low, I didn't make it to the gun fully charging -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:34
Article on current(ish) relegation situation (by ESPN, and I'm not a soccerologist, so who knows if this is hogwash or not): -- (link) - TFox Oct 18, 10:23 6
- I wish *I* had a degree in soccerology -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 10:24 5
  - can you even run around the block without passing out or vomitting? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 10:27 2
    - I would join in the mocking if I hadn't broke my foot. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 10:29
    - around the block? Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 10:29
  - as good as tfox is playing with his balls, he should have an honorary one - hachiko Oct 18, 10:27
  - Hmmm.... a soccerology diploma mill might be a viable idea for one of your unused domains. -- nm - mara Oct 18, 10:25
PMB (Social Network spoilers) - David Oct 18, 10:23 19
- One other question (not a spoiler). I don't facebook, so I wonder how does it make money? Do they sell advertising on the site? - pmb Oct 18, 10:45 3
  - 1) You should Facebook. Its utilitarian value is impressive. - David Oct 18, 10:52
  - Ads and virtual goods. -- (link) - mara Oct 18, 10:47
  - Sells advertising and demographic info. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 18, 10:46
- I could see that. - pmb Oct 18, 10:43
- does the book discuss Z's girlfriend? -- nm - Max Oct 18, 10:24 13
  - His current one or the one from the movie? - David Oct 18, 10:27 12
    - The movie. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who said she was complete fiction. -- nm - Max Oct 18, 10:31 5
      - "So what does that make us?" "Absolutely nothing!" -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 10:43
      - But it was on Facebook, so it must be true -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 10:35
      - Max, the grown-ups are talking. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:32 2
        
        My geode must be acknowledged! -- nm - Max Oct 18, 10:32 1
        
        *jingles keys* -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:47

        Here's an Aaron Sorkin comment that directly addresses it. - David Oct 18, 10:46 1
        
        cool, thanks. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 10:56
      - was = wasn't, in above msg -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 10:30
I just ate almost a whole quart of hot and sour soup. I'm like crying from the hot. -- nm - chromanda Oct 18, 10:22 4
- Te enchilaste - Lon_cHaneY Oct 18, 10:43
- we're hot and sour soulmates today. -- nm - Max Oct 18, 10:23
- maybe they forgot the sour -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 10:22 1
  - or mybe they botched orders + some other poor sap got all sour.....nm - x Oct 18, 10:27
Beaker, re: SGU - yes, I agree. (spoilers) - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:21 1
- next week looks good. TBag!! -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 10:27
"I wouldn't say I'm a lion, but I do have a mighty roar." -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 10:19 1

Fallout: New Vegas hits tomorrow. Yeah or nay? - kilbooooo Oct 18, 10:18 15
- Wooo! Shipped today. Can't wait! -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:24
- Hell yeah! Fallout 3 was great. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 10:22

    - yeah, i know tons of people loved it. it just never clicked for me. i'm also *very* protective of my time.... - x Oct 18, 10:29 2
      - Stay away from Final Fantasy 13. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:33 1
        
        i might be pretty much done with console games in general, to be honest...nm - x Oct 18, 10:37
  - Fallout 3 might be my favorite game on 360. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:25 1
    - Word, easily a top 3 for me. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 10:32
  - Not sure if you were the one asking, but I played Cities XL 2011 some this weekend. It is at least as good as SimCity for me but there's a bit more - kilbooooo Oct 18, 10:21 2
    - cool. i liked the looks of that one--i tried to sign up for the last beta, but never got any response....nm - x Oct 18, 10:24 1
      - There's a whole supply/demand component that is visible to you in game that opens up what I used to feel was part of the hidden mechanics inside - kilbooooo Oct 18, 10:26
- Its an eventual yeah for me, just not this week. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 10:20

One thing I'll say about Junior Seau - he likes he metaphors explicit. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 10:18
Any word on: Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson? Antonio Gates? Pierre Thomas? Reggie Bush? My team is DUN. -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 10:18 15
- I'll play rooster cockadoodledooo mgggphtafffafaffa.......light hurts my eyes. -- nm - DeSean Jackson Oct 18, 10:22
- [deleted] 1
  - he left the game last night, had his fingers taped together, returned...then left again, IIRC. -- nm - samara Oct 18, 10:24
- I believe 1, 4 will be out. 3...probably. I don't know about 2 -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 10:20 7
  - Next week? Reid has said playing him this weeknd would be a real stretch. -- (link) - mara Oct 18, 10:22
  - DeSean Jackson is currently running naked in the streets of Philly claiming to be Batman. -- nm - samara Oct 18, 10:21 5
    - I'm just glad he scored all the points before that. I didn't see the hit. Was it brutal? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 18, 10:22 3
      - I tasted colors. It was bad. But then I woke up on the beach and the stewardesses brought me drinks, it was fantastic. They had to feed me though. -- nm - DeSean Jackson Oct 18, 10:24
      - [deleted] 1

- word. ive got Gates & Floyd on one, Jackson & Finley on another -- nm - Guy Oct 18, 10:19 3
  - Every fantasy football team has an injured player or two on it. Or, did, before dropping them. - TFox Oct 18, 10:21 2
    - there is a difference between injuries and season ending injuries - Guy Oct 18, 10:41
    - I would pay money for it to be only 1-2 :) This was a bad weak for the banana hammocks -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 10:29
Can't wait for the debate tonight. Miller will be there... and it's hosted by the website that employs the reporter who got handcuffed yesterday. - Dr.Vermin Oct 18, 10:16 3
