 | no release date |
| "We do not have an official release date yet, but will inform you as soon as we do. (We would like to get little bit into Beta 3 first so we can be confident of any date we give you)." |
| you'll get it as soon as they figure it out, these are good people who've been very honest with the community for 2+ years |
| yes. I know. |
 | THEN DON'T BE SO SAD! |
| but I want it now! |
| I thought you didn't have time until summer |
| meh. |
| dang warren with his "solid arguements" |
 | its what I do |
| and that makes you sad? |

I think rsteven's Achewood guest strip was by far THE WORST. COMIC. EVER.
| (scroll down to the crappy one) |
| Well, at least it wasn't like the blog he ran for a while, which simply detailed what he had eaten that day and how much he pooped. |
| my favorite thing about the March 26th guest strip is that their ears fly off when they get really surprised. |

OFF TO MOUNTAINVIEW WITH ME!
| be back online by Sunday, I hope! |
| and despite what it sounds like, Mountainview is NOT a loony hospital. |
| I am arrived! (and online) |
| Oh boy. |
| Couldn't get on the Internet for 2 days because the manager who had the key to the closet with the DSL modems was gone on the weekend |

| "Damion Easley became the most expensive player cut loose in baseball history when the Detroit Tigers released him Friday with $14.3 million still owed on his contract." |
| thats a lot of money to pay someone to do nothing |
| I don't understand what they gain by releasing him |
| they still have to pay him |
| Boy if I were him I'd just say, screw baseball, go home, enjoy my $14.3 million dollars for doing nothing and play video games |
| yeah. but that kinda reduces his chances of playing baseball again. |
| who cares, he has $14.3 million... you have any idea how nice you can live on that much money? |
| think how many video games and pizzas! |
| I would say about 50% |
Corn-dogs are highly resistant to over-cooking
| I left them in the oven for almost a half hour instead of the normal 17 minutes... and they fared pretty well |

| terrorists lose. |
| I fail to see the connection |

| i made gravy so thick, it was a gravy paste that you spread on things like jelly. |
| at that point, is it still gravy? |
| at that point, its more like a discharge from the elemental plane of fattening |
| I'll leave that to the philosophers to decide. All's I know is that it was fucking delicious. |
| Philosophers never decide anything. They just bicker endlessly using fancy latin logic terms waiting for a scientist to come along and finally settle it. |
| yeah, like how high a 2600lb ball will bounce |
| but it would take a terrorist not to like my gravy paste. |
| what about a vegetarian? |
| Those are mythical, like unicorns |
| especially in Oklahoma |
| so by that logic, unicorns are terrorists. |
| you needed logic? |
| alas... |
| That horn evolved over millenia to rape freedom-loving Americans. |
| Millenia of mythology. |

Dropping 2,600 lb bouncy balls from a mile up
| sounds like an experiment in chaos theory |
| now I'm not a doctor, or a scientist, but even I know that thing wouldn't have bounced "hundreds of feet in the air." |
| oops i misread that as 2600 different balls |
| which would be highly entertaining |
| wonder what its terminal velocityis |
| but that's what I like about humanity. We have the people who can compute that the experiment simply won't work, but then there's twice as many people who'll just do it to see what happens. |
| true true |
| and televise it. |
| frankly, at this point, everything is televised |
| what human endeavor has not been broadcast? |
| Gene keeps threatening me about those X-10 cameras he allegedly put everywhere. At this point, I'm not sure I'm not televised right now. |
| I know I am |
| I think the old webcam caught me picking my nose |
| dammit, crappy ass cable, i get neither the Tony Channel or the Foiba Channel |

Pats QB Brady restructures contract to help team with cap problems
| I don't understand why more top players who really want to win a championship before they retire don't agree to play for minimum salary so their team can use the money to sign some more good players to help with the championship push |
| Imagine if Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, Rich Gannon and Bill Romanowski all agreed to play for minimum salary this year, so the Raiders could sign a bunch of studs at other positions and get back to the super bowl and win it and then they all retire |
| they got to get paid! |
| they already have a bunch of money! |
| I assume the thing thats stopping them from doing this is the player's union |
| yes. they sure do. |
| the players union wants every player to get every penny they can |
| as do agents |

| I think WUSA is fairly successful |
| ain't on no sportscenter |
| I've seen it on sportcenter. its not the season right now |
| but I feel that WUSA is doomed by the prevalence of non-pluralized team names |
| maybe you see the semifinal and final games on SC, but not no regular season games |
| NFL Europe has non-plural team names too, I believe |
| Beat? Power? Freedom? Spirit? Courage? Its like they named their teams by picking random words out of the girl scout pledge |
| ooh |
| harsh |
| adding insult to injury, a google for their team names points to a 3rd grade soccer league |
| Surprised it didn't point to some happy version of Power Rangers or Teletubbies |
| god people are up there on the google list |
I think Chris Mortensen just said something about NFL Europe not existing after 2003, but I'm not positive
| Wonder why |
| I think its unpopular in most of Europe |
| and the Arena league is gaining acclaim as a "minor league" |
| the Arena League is not a good minor league for some positions |
| kicker? |
| fullback? |
| pass protection logner than 3 seconds? |
| who spends time developing a fullback |
| pass coverage that lasts longer then 4 seconds? |
| real tight ends? |
| okay, okay, you have a point |
| its fine for quick-cover corners and WRs and QBs |
| Oronde Gadsden was a LB in the Arena league |
| are you implying we should start a league with a "three apple" count? |
| That'd be just the beginning of the rules in our league |
| rule number 2. no non-pluralized team names. |
continuing the lions love of injured players ...
| Shawn Bryson now a Lion |
| I guess they figure that if they have enough injured people, that they will not be injured at the same time |
| Lions feed off the old and the injured first. |

| actually, I find what Foiba says to be strangely profound |
| If every NFL team's front office behaved like their mascots... |
| is this a packers joke? |
| is that a Browns joke? |
| is that a Texans joke? |
| oh wait, they're not the Oilers anymore |

whats the best GBA game?
| I would say Advance Wars. |
| but Golden Sun is a close 2nd |
| Warioland 4 is an excellent platformer, featuring songs that actually have lyrics in them. |
| Lyrics that aren't "Wario, Waaaario, Wariooooo" |
| but in simple terms of how many hours I've put into these games, I think Advance Wars wins by a few hours but it also has the benefit of being played in many different sessions. |
| as soon as I finished Golden Sun, I started a new file to play it through again. That rarely happens for an RPG with me. |
| I'm going to buy Pokemon one of these days |
| You cannot buy Pokemon. You must catch them. |

| and could you imagine getting caught for stealing Pokemon?! |

| Is a backlight really worth $100 |
| I personally think the thing looks more womanly |
| like something made for make-up |
| you're not just paying for the light, but you're getting a smaller design with a lithium battery |
| I'm proud of the purchase, and glad I bought it. |
| oh yeah... the battery. I forgot about that |
| did you already have a GBA? |
| of course |
| huh. |
| doesn't look ergonomically comfortable |
| it's the original, vertical GameBoy design. it works perfectly. |
| the old NES controllers are decidedly not ergonomic |
| we had a good party last night that demonstrated the virtues of the new SP. We started a game of Advance Wars and just kept on passing it around for hours, each taking a turn. |
| it was great to finish your turn, fold it up and hand it to somebody saying, "Give this to Clay! He's downstairs!" |
| or just keep it in your pocket til you saw him again. |
Just got the Gameboy SP
| rarararar |
| Can you fit it in your mouth? |
| you could use the backlight to help with dental work, in a pinch |
| putting it in my old Gameboy carrier, I can now fit about 4 more games in the empty space |
| ah, Blast Processing that I can actually see now |

assessment of the beginning of Han Solo Trilogy, book 1
| not a bad story |
| thank you Oprah |
| but the writing is not quite as effective as I would hope for |
| the interaction between the Wookiee and Han is ackward |
| do I really need the entire thing the Wookiee said repeated to me? |
| I was upset that it thought I was dumb, and didn't allow me to fill in the blanks |
| I think those books are aimed at a younger audience |
| I agree |
| mmm ewoks |
| but well written fantasy should scale better |
| e.g. Harry Potter |
| There's actually two Han Solo trilogies. The one I recommended was 1) Han Solo at Star's End, 2) Han Solo's Revenge, and 3) Han Solo and the Lost Legacy |
| I have a feeling you're reading the wrong one, I found the writing and interaction between Han and Chewie to be superb. |
| The first book should start out with the Falcon evading a patrol ship by flying through a narrow canyon, knocking off the top radio dish (book was written in 1978, years before the same thing happened in Return of the Jedi). |
| Chewie growls something, Han responds, "Yeah, that was a stupid place to put a mountain." |
| yes. I bought the wrong book |
|  |
| I saw nothing wrong with the old one |
| This one doesn't seem as simple |
| I think the falcon is faster now |
| it looks like its putting its rear-end higher in the air for ... |

| I can imagine the mysimon employee talking to google: "you better fucking make sure people can get to us if they search for aero-dy-gaysexics. Here's a million dollars." |
| A team can overlook a bobble here or a drop there because Rogers, who is 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, was timed in the 40 between 4.26 and 4.33 seconds. He had a vertical leap of 37 inches and cleared over 10 feet in the broad jump. |
| I say, god damn! |
