    Y'all have about 45 seconds to continue enjoying the disagree button

    Down to two positives now eh?

    It's all being tweaked, but I don't see the dislike button being a force for good on these forums. Insightful went because I thought it was redundant.

    Because everything we say is insightful?

    If I hadn't already posted that Tom Hanks video, I would post it again.

    I guess we still have this condescending face.

    It's probably best the disagree button went away. Too easy a tool to be used to hate on someone.

    My mindset is that the buttons really shouldn't be used in the normal course of forum-ing. Something has to be really X-TREEEEEEEEEEME to warrant a report for awesome. I'm not a fan of "anything you see on Facebook that you are okay with you smash the like button" but ... it's an optional button. I don't have to press it. Who cares?

    On the other hand, I kind of like the idea of people clicking "Agree" instead of each posting a reply with variations of "I agree".

    There will probably be a mash of the cultures for a while where people will do both. Unless an Administrative decree politely asks us not to.

    You can prove NOTHING! You hear me? Nothing.

    What are everyone's thoughts on Appleton rum? Last night I was drinking it and it was like water, it had no effect. It's different tonight, I can feel it. Mmm, it's quite good actually! Mixes very well with coke but poorly with Orange Juice. (Those who say that Orange Juice and Rum never mix... philistines, all of you).

    Is there a way to configure a PS3 so when I play a PS3 game it's 16:9 but when I pop in a PS2/1 game, which don't have widescreen support, it will automatically squish it to 4:3?

    I've been playing Halo: Reach on Legendary difficulty. It's kind of silly difficult and almost not fun.

    What strats are you running? I found Reach to hit the perfect balance between satisfyingly difficult but not bullshit.

    :bz

    I liked the difficulty on the easier settings, but so far, Legendary seems to land squarely in bullshit territory quite a bit. Close-range combat, which I really enjoy is basically suicide now (hooray 1-hit melee kills!), and everything pretty much kills me in 4-5 shots if not less. At this point I'm not sure how anyone actually plays Legendary with skulls (especially Black Eye, wtf), but I guess I'll get better.

    I've mostly been using the plasma pistol + headshot combo when available. I'm only on the second (?) level where you start out with a sniper rifle, so I've been using that quite a bit. Other than that, running away a whole lot and letting my NPC guys take a bunch of damage instead of me. I cheesed through the first 2 Hunters with the gauss hog. Not really sure how else you're supposed to do that bit.

    Yesterday, I noticed a firmly common word which's pronunciation I wasn't sure of for the past decades: Issue.
    Where do the distinct pronunciations of that word come from?

    I'll often want to agree with someone, but feel silly posting, "I agree" and nothing else, so I won't post anything. I would totally click an "Agree" button though.

    It's like going from 640x480 to 480x360, if that makes any sense.
