Isn't everything from Valve nowadays? Steambox is mildly interesting but unlikely to budge me from my perch atop PC games.

This looks ****ing awesome.

I, for one, welcome Ryan Gosling as Gordon Freeman overlord. Either that or Josh Brolin.

That sucks willeh. You might want to talk to a psychiatrist, sounds like there's something ****ed up with your brain chemistry right now. On that note, I came in here to mention that removing my own sutures has been quite easy. I left the biggest incision of the three alone, however, because...

I've had a couple of ingrown toenails excised. The needle work to numb up the toe hurts like a mother****er. As the only regular poster with a Mickey Mouse avatar, I support this statement.

Pleated khakis should have died 50 years ago when waist-level belt lines did. The only reason pleated pants existed in the first place is that the waist is smaller than the hips and the extra material had to go somewhere. They persist, for some inexplicable reason, like a zombie long-dead.

Hah, yeah I've gone to give blood exactly once and I started to black out after about 3 minutes for reasons I still can't explain fully. I don't do blood donations after that experience. The blood thinners don't even really hurt, they're just annoying and I would hate to have to do them more...

Thanks! Well I'm back in limping order at the moment. Should be walking normally again in another couple days. I do have to comment: being a diabetic has got to suck! I have these blood thinner injections for post-op that have to be done in subcutaneous fat, and they are annoying as hell. I...

Is it a road bike? A lot of those say pump up to 120 PSI, but they really never need to be pumped above like 80-100 especially for bigger guys. Also, you could have a thorn or something similar embedded in the tire that is popping the inner tubes you put into it. Shit's annoying. It's not a...

So I had surgery yesterday to have hardware taken out of my leg from breaking it four years ago. Aches like a mother****er, but hey I should be able to go running again! I also apparently scared the nurse in the post-op care room shitless because I was extremely irritable from the anesthesia...

To be fair, it would work on me too. That watermelon looks delicious.

My point exactly with the footprint I mentioned. A Thorium reactor could live in the carcass of a traditional one or even in the same place as a coal power plant. Solar panels require massive land area to function, and then you hit the limitations of the transmission lines because solar panels...

Yeah, and since it's not a small star going off there wasn't an incredible heat release either so no one got blinded or anything.

Oh look, another soulless clone of a game from a soulless game factory. No thanks.

Solar needs big capacitors and even bigger batteries and lots and lots of silicon. It's an incredibly intensive method when it comes to the necessary parts. Same applies to wind energy. Both are highly distributed, high-sunk cost power sources that require huge maintenance budgets. Thorium...

Yeah but if we can wean ourselves off needing toxic, chemically unstable batteries that's a huge step in the right direction. Lithium ion, nickel-metal hydride, shit even alkaline battery tech have a lot of undesirable properties inherent in their total life cycle that a graphene capacitor...

That's why I found Brolands 1 & 2 so refreshing. They feel like old-school Duke Nukem did. Nowadays you're lucky to get a grunt out of it much less entire monologue sequences.

That's the thing: they don't have a hard time hearing or understanding me. When I finally do get people to pick up their phone this is never the reason, they can understand me with 100% clarity. It's just that they have some made up excuse in their head as to why audio is inferior to text. Low...

I find the audio is at least as important for a satisfying shooter. I love Borderlands and Borderlands 2 for that reason. When a midget screams "YOU KILLED MY BABYSITTER" at you after you killed a bandit or a hulking big Badass Brute screams for his mommy after you light him on fire, that is...

This drives me up a damn wall when I'm trying to figure out where someone is in my city or in a conference and they keep ****ing texting me! Call me, dipshit, it will take literally 30 seconds to convey the information you've spent the last 10 minutes texting me about. What really makes me go...
