I can't wait for the coming tablet PC onslaught. Actually, I can't wait for 9 months after the coming tablet PC onslaught, when they're all on closeout, since nobody bought them, just like the last time tablets got popular.
I thought they were still popular with art students?
So Apple will sell a few dozen.
I had some fun playing with them for some security applications but they just weren't durable enough.
It's a concept without a real, widespread use. Especially now that phones are basically computers. They're less useful, less powerful and more fragile than a laptop, and not much lighter than a netbook.
I dunno. Form always has to follow function. You can bend that rule a little, but go to far and it will bite you in the ass every single time.
It's basically being marketed as a giant iPod though, right? Like a more convenient to use iPod touch? I guess we'll see in a few hours.
I downloaded Mass Effect 2 last night and didn't play it because I told myself I was going to power through ME1 first.
Trying to save myself for marriage here but the temptation to sin is great.
In just the little bit that I played last night I saw/heard so many references to shit I did in ME1 that I can't imagine not importing a ME1 character.
However, ME2 is so fucking good that everyone needs to be playing it right the fuck now.

Something like that. Supposedly persistent 3G internet, $800 on contract or $1000 otherwise. But why spend $800 then $40 a month or whatever for internet for it, when you already have your $300 phone you're paying a monthly web fee for too? It's like they're targeting the segment of the market that either doesn't have a phone with web access or doesn't want to spend $300 for a netbook and a 3G modem.

So, uh, good luck with your decision.
Bama, did it count those shitty sidequest planets as well? Or only refer to the actual stuff that you did during the game?

Trying to remember... I know one thing was from an optional quest that starts on the citadel but involves going to a couple of nondescript planets. The other one was from a minor mission early in the main ME1 story. I think some of the radio references were side quests too.

I'm pretty sure I did every single goddamn assignment in my last playthrough of ME
so this should be interesting.

I kind of want ME2 on PC because well it just seems like Tycho is so excited about it.
But none of the saves on that site he linked are you know me it is weird that I have such a silly emotional connection but like I don't know I totally do. I think it is because I played the whole thing in front of friends at my apartment, them all cringing every time Renegade Shep was mean to a guy. If you could give me a save with a guarantee that the dude was so unnecessarily mean his friends lost respect for him then I could handle it.
wow that site is pretty cool.
I might end up using a few of those profiles after i do my 'cannon' run with ME2
Oh, also some interesting news from my parents: they were going through the storage space in my grandfather's old home (He just died a few months ago). The guy was over ninety when he finally kicked the bucket, but has been gone for ten years or so if you know what I mean, so a lot of the stuff that was in there, he didn't even realize he had.
Amongst plenty of other cool shit that they found in that time capsule, including trophies from both World Wars, an old Lee-Enfield rifle, and a Webley revolver, they found a true relic: the hat that his father, my great-grandfather, wore in the Irish Civil War. Holy shit.
i played mass effect 2 from 6 PM until 2 AM last night
i have purchased a space hamster.
all is right with the world.
I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the direction they're taking the gameplay
general questions, minor gameplay spoilers
I basically just started
so is it worthwhile sinking all your money into fuel and probes to get minerals or is it pretty much just a stupid sink?
also: is managing your teammates trust and loyalty more complicated like they seem to be making it out to be, or is it still pretty much 'talk to the person a lot'?
on an unrelated note, I enjoy how space fighter combat (via the codex[same entry also available in ME1]) appears to take a page straight from zapp brannigan
"Line up and fly directly at the enemy death cannons, clogging them with wreckage!"

Yeah, considering nearly every Apple crazy new announcement has not only exceeded people's expectations, but created an industry standard where previously none existed, I'm gonna go ahead and say you're wrong.
People said the iPhone wouldn't sell. That it was too expensive, didn't have enough to woo the Blackberry users and was too costly for casual users. They were dead wrong.

The key point now is that we don't know what they are announcing. The rumours are just that rumours, and they all seem a bit silly. A novelty sized iPhone is a terrible idea. A novelty sized iPhone without an eink screen that they are trying to market as an ebook reader is an even worse one.

Unfortunately that color isn't in my box of Crayolas, but maybe one day.
That aside, I wonder what happens now.
I think the people that actually did the waterboarding are going to have this statement:
"Nah, never mind his shit. We waterboarded him into saying that, thus proving it's effectiveness!"
lol
I don't... I don't know what to think. Is it funny? Is it dumb? I don't know!

On the black screen
ME2 was 80% unlocked when the army decided to turn my internet off for a second.
Now it won't launch at all.
It's a conspiracy. They know they'll never get you do anything if you get sucked into ME2.
I showed this to a co-worker who loves Pulp Fiction and (apparently) didn't know what Guess Who was.
What the hell is the matter with him?

I'm only going to play for a couple of hours. I have to get up at four in the morning to ruck ten miles in the snow.
restart steam?
Too many to discuss. Stay away.
I hope this gets the same media attention as his claim that waterboarding worked does.
But he is right there...
what do I do?
