And before that, music CDs that didn't play on PC CD ROM drives.

It was either in this one:

I have an unfinished fic that I wrote a bunch of years back that had a subplot based on a lot of the WEG rebel stuff. About how there's all the propaganda and the faces of the Rebellion like Luke and Leia, but a large bulk of the Rebel's forces across the galaxy are still just partisans and insurgen...

this was exacerbated by the people who wrote it being largely ignorant of the political subtext, barring some of the WEG stuff (though they "got" the Empire far more than the Rebels). I wouldn't mind hearing more about this, as I never looked at the WEG stuff for the SW RPG. it's not all ...

Finished Binary Domain tonight. I loved that game. That setting. The plot. The philosophical question. By no means a technical or design masterpiece, but ambitious to roll conversation, character relationships etc into a third person shooter, especially as it never advertises these depths. Also spen...

More this part:

This war is fought between two opposing schools of literary thought (hyperrealists and deconstructionists) over eleven pieces of prose left behind by the long deceased alien race

What. The. Fuck.

Yeah, the first book was interesting and definitely went to show why Anderson fucking hated Saren. A few attempts on a life will do that.

The one's with Cerberus though. It was totally just going: "LET'S MAKE THIS ORGANISATION CARTOONISHLY EVIL" LOL RENEGADE OPTIONS

Mass Effect books have occasionally been interesting.

Splinter Cell books were hilariously bad.

Trying to think of other tie ins I've bothered with.

Wouldn't mind reading the Battlefield 3 book. But I would probably regret that.

TEO also had a precipitous drop in patronage at some point. Remember the days of hundreds of active users live at a time? When debates turned over super rapidly and we *needed* to split the forums so much to manage traffic. Now, a few people make a lot of noise and the arguments all have predetermin...

It reads like a late high school or early university kid with a basic grasp of history and politics, but who hasn't learned the second semester part of the story yet.

Convenient that he's covering this just weeks after How Did This Get Made did their breakdown of it...

Get your kids home for as much of night's sleep as you can. She clearly doesn't want them.

Eff that B.

Oh that fucking blows. And angry at her. She gives a time, especially fucking 9pm on the night before school, then she should fucking well stick to it.

I hope you like Bane jokes. Because the internet has filled with them.

I prefer this one:
“@Puddinstrip cutting the power is exactly what Hans Gruber wanted to happen! #SuperBowl47””

Dude, offloading the car won't automatically remove your memory of it and the good times associated. Appreciate that it was a noble steed, pour out a 40 and sell that shit to a wrecker.

Sentimental is a nice way of saying for apprentice hoarder.

Oh yes.

Might turn AI on and send them mooks to be a distraction.

It strikes me that the Superbowl is the closest thing to a May Day Parade nowadays. "and now, TO HONOR AMERICA..." What was the last 10mins?

Nah, it's the giant phone.

See if you can buy and ex-fleet car. I know over here most govt and private industry groups take cars on 3 year leases. Once that lease is up, the cars are auctioned. And because they're fleet vehicles they tend to be well maintained and with a very transparent history. And often very low km if they...

Cracked the screen on my Galaxy Note. Not sure how, hadn't dropped it in a while, maybe am earlier, unnoticed crack in a corner got torqued *just so* or something. Anyhow - diagonal, top right to bottom left, whole of the glass. Thankfully its very thin and only really noticeable because I'm peeved ...

The thread about Chris Kyle being shot is the perfect example of why the "citizens with guns is the only way to prevent more shootings" argument is total fucking bullshit. Because as this incident clearly shows, even a highly trained and experienced special forces veteran AT A GODDAMN SHO...

All the most awkward anecdotes involve sex.
