Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    What's a voxel?

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    Dude, footie jammies are comfy.

    All the cool people are wearing them.

    Do modern footie pajamas still have that buttoned trapdoor on the butt?

    You can get them with or without. When it's there, it is generally velcro these days. It's pretty pointless, and I prefer without.

    wow, this episode of psych is crazy racist

    is it from series 1-4? (I haven't seen 5+ yet so don't thspoiler it)

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    first season, episode with the dad from 70s show as the forgetful cop who solved a murder then forgot

    the scene where they pretend Gus speaks some crazy clicking language (there are real languages with clicks of course) but then add in animal sounds and gestures and it's...it's painful to watch

    I have a couple fleece footies, and a couple of ones in lighter fabric for when it's not a nuclear winter. In fleece I have yellow with fire trucks, and blue with frogs. I had an awesome light gray fleece footy with jet fighters on it but those were a casualty of the insane dryer on the U.S.S. San Francisco which liked to randomly set itself to 9,000 degrees and melt things/catch them on fire.

    first some meth addled trailer pixie gets hold of my credit card number and tries to use it at a Walmart in Luisiana (stay classy, criminals). Now like every single auto-payment thing I have set up is apparently set up to bill me in the week when I don't have a card (new one wont arrive until next monday at the earliest).

    No netflix streaming for me for a week.

    I'm a published writer and have a very unique and interesting writing style. I'm also sharp and witty. My profile is well-written and hilarious. My messages are likewise brilliant.

    FALSE.

    "I asked ten thousand random people, and 90% said they would vote for Obama over Bachmann" is data. Yet there is no difference beyond quantity.

    Hahaha - this is wrong.

    1 person does not make a normal distribution. Nor does 10 people. In fact for low numbers there is an extremely high chance of selection bias due to say, your geographical area.

    Right. That's why you wouldn't use a sample set of 1. Realistically, someone saying "I've got a few friends that x happened to, therefore x is always the case!" is not enough data. But gather enough anecdotes, and there's no difference between it and a phone survey.

    Plus, it IS data. Even one anecdote is a single datum. It just might not be particularly useful data.

    imagine being so wealthy that you could just seamlessly purchase health services, insurance notwithstanding

    i mean, if you're crazy wealthy you can afford a high monthly premium

    but if you're that rich you could just say fuck it, too

    oh, doc you want to give me an abdominal cat scan just to be safe? what is that, $3,200? no problem.

    oh, i need open heart surgery? $90,000? talk to my man about it, he'll write you a check.

    like, i mean

    pretty much everyone everywhere asks what insurance you have

    imagine just going to a hospital- not the er- and just being like oh i'm paying that cash money, ain't no thang

    The whole Courtney Stodden thing is sad as fuck and everyone is going to feel awful when the shit hits the fan there.

    what is going on with this exactly?

    She married that creepy as fuck guy from The Green Mile with her parents permission. There's also some photos of her from when she was 12 or 13 that look...well, some of them are kind of weird, depending on what you think is weird.

    The whole Courtney Stodden thing is sad as fuck and everyone is going to feel awful when the shit hits the fan there.

    what is going on with this exactly?

    So Courtney Stodden is this sixteen/seventeen year old girl who's a 'model' and 'actress' and 'singer'. She has overbearing stage parents who are controlling her 'career', and they married her off to a 51 year old actor. They're now shopping a reality show. She goes out to public events dressed as 'sexy' as possible, got her facebook shut down for being too close to child porn, gets kicked out of venues for being too 'sexy', all of her tweets are full of 'sexy' shit...

    When she started her career, she looked like this
    Spoiler:

    Now she looks like this
    Spoiler:

    And the internet basically thinks this is the funniest thing ever and is laughing it up when there is some fucked up shit going on in this girl's life
