The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Black lawmakers in New Jersey have sharply criticized Republican Gov. Chris Christie for comparing a ballot referendum on gay marriage to the civil rights movement thusly: “The fact of the matter is, I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South.”
Hahaha. That is some ignorance of history.
Wh... what?
Wow. Just... Wow.
the hallmark of something being truly stupid: thanatos is so angry and confused he can't generate a rant.
It's full of stars... should have sent a poet...

Listening to local conservative talk radio - the host is berating Secretary of Defense for laughing about not knowing how many wars America is involved in, calling it extremely disrespectful. A caller tells the host that President Bush relating his post-Presidential plans in an old interview was also disrespectful since Bush said he wanted to make a lot of money as a private citizen.
Nutjob Host: "Well, what was the president supposed to say so it'd be respectful to you? Do you want Bush to lie? 'After my presidency, I'm going to spend my time grieving for our fallen soldiers and reflecting on the impact the wars have had on the rest of the world'? That's ridiculous. I'm ... er, I'm not going to talk about this anymore. Next caller."
The host realized midway through his sarcasm that he was fighting a losing battle.

I'm disappointed my Aperture Laboratories water bottle doesn't refill itself automatically using portal technology.
im priobably going to end up getting the portal bookends for my comics
They were out of stock when I made my order.
I also have an Aperture Laboratories coffee mug here at work.
And then I went a little crazy with stuff for home. >.>
I really wanted the scarf, because I need a scarf, but it's expected restock date is in March and winter will be near done, even way up here, by the time I get it.
it would be incredibly easy to translate into a board game
each turn, you first place down a tunnel tile to expand on the map. some are revealed, but most are hidden until the tile is placed (you don't get to see what's on a tile until you've placed it, only where it connects). after that, you move any of your five dwarves to a space: some spaces have gold/gems/mythril you can mine, or a monster, or a relic (worth lots of points). At the end of each turn, any dwarves sharing a tile with a monster (or monsters) will engage in battle. Any dwarves placed on a tile with gold/gems/mythril will gather that resource. Each dwarf can only carry a certain quantity of items, and each type has different carrying capacities, fighting capabilities, and movement values. When a dwarf is carrying treasure, he must return to either the mine entrance, gnome bank (which are found deeper into the caves, but give reduced points), or a relic trader (same as the gnome bank, but for relics). Relics have a variety of values and bonuses; some just increase gold, while others can make your dwarf hardier or stronger. Some reduce your points in trade for good bonuses, and others just reduce gold entirely.
if anybody owns it we should play some multiplayer!
finally deleted OKC after months of having an essentially empty profile. Today I went back, uploaded a picture, got an email of new matches, one of which was my roommate's ex, and promptly deleted my account.
Are there any MMO-type games that have player-driven currencies? I mean like rather than the currency being built in as credits or gold, the currencies are backed by guilds or something. Or maybe there are games where some sort of trade or barter system has emerged? (Diablo comes to mind for this I guess)
EVE probably has the most sophisticated game economy, but it has a game generated currency. The "dragon point" thing that big WoW guilds used to do (still do? (I never did.)) was essentially a currency, although generally only for intra-guild transactions, I think.

Dwarfs are creepy. What with their beards and uncommon ability to craft metals...

And their obsessive compulsive behaviors, and their unkempt beards, and that they live in basements.
They were out of stock when I made my order.

I...actually don't know. I saw a multiplayer achievement and didn't think about it. Maybe?

Steve Winwood was alright on his own, though.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I was about to make the same joke, except replacing Steve Winwood with Benicio Del Toro
