I got salmonella from a fast food place I used to work at.  I tried to call in sick, but they said I had to come in anyways.

Anyone doing a basic WHOIS check on the domains would find that they're registered to a Reid Kirchenbauer ('grey') and a Sandra Fordham ('gray' in 2008), not Nintendo.

Is this what LDS is like?

latter day saints?

It's so weird watching people find websites like youtube by typing them into the Google search box instead of just typing in the domain name.

Business as usual in Japan.

My old Toshiba Satellite had a panel on the bottom that could be removed to reveal a rectangular chip that looked like it could be removed, but I think there might have been some sticker that warned of voiding the warranty.

I can't check it right now, as I don't have it with me - I left it back at my parent's house after a nice "security feature" was triggered, preventing the computer from getting passed BIOS unless you shipped it to one of Toshiba's repair centers and paid them to type in a password they won't give you over the phone.

I cant bring myself to directly link the video.

I take it you guys wouldn't be happy to hear about the

, then?

Since my family wouldn't get a video game system until I saved up to buy my own, I grew up on PC games.  The Learning Company (Reader Rabbit, Treasure Mountain, Oregon Trail) made most of the good children's games, and looking back, I think I could still enjoy playing some of them with any kids I end up having in the future.  In general, "kids games" for the PC platform were either decent, obviously bad, or looked good until you actually tried playing them.

I also remember disliking the majority of "children's games" on the basis that they were children's games, assuming that the adults who made them thought kids were stupid and dumbed down their games accordingly.  Most of the games I liked as a kid weren't specifically children games at all, like Sim City, Theme Park, Cosmic Cosmo, and Commander Keen.  I sucked at them way more than Treasure Mountain, but I played them a lot more (or just watched my dad play them).  I also remember watching my dad play Catacombs II (pseudo-3D fantasy dungeon crawler that would later evolve into the first "Doom").  The health meter kind of freaked me out, though, as I was under the impression that the character's head actually was being progressively skinned from top to bottom as he got more and more wounded.

Kid Pix was awesome, too.

Great, now I'll be stuck watching B-movie musicals for an hour.

Would anyone believe that the guy who ran Godfather's Pizza is now running for US President so that he can replace the current tax system with the one from Sim City?

Sweet, sweet justice.

From listening to my grandma as a kid, Peoria sounds like a place people and things get stuck in a lot.  Even when they've previously been located in California.

MyMathLab...I want to punch whoever made that in the throat so badly.

0, -2 is not the answer, but -2, 0 is. Failed a quiz because of this. HNNNNNRG!

Still need to do a few more inbetweens.  Ran out of paper at school today.

I think Squidward's just needs to be taller, so that you have the big-medium-small composition thing going on (it's also how it was in the show).

because oddly enough, people judge you on the type of phone you have these days.

I have seen no evidence of this whatsoever.

The only person I can think of who is capable of such a feat would be Carmen Sandiego.

Does this thread really need the tired old "(PCs|Macs) are better than (Macs|PCs) because they do (graphics|video|viruses|browsing the internet|magic) better" argument? 

Thats because this is a game development forum and it's filled with people who are interested in computer scripting.

Which was the argument when it was first brought up, and the counter to that was that this is the "General" forum which often deviates to non-game-related discussions.

I'm not taking any "sides" to this argument, I'm just pointing out what's already been argued for the sake of avoiding the usual forum debate Möbius loop that these things usually end up getting stuck in.
