Well, is there going to be a fourth? Could just be setting the stage with the character. -

There's no children OR animals... Which just make me ask why?
They don't have to be attackable- it would just really add to the atmosphere of the game. Not to mention how many missions could be made around children and animals.
Where do they get the meat for the tacos at El Super Mexicano if there's no animals!? Tacos in Talos? I'll pass

Done. (Kevin Smith should change his name to "Kevin NSFW Smith" to avoid any confusion.)

Quote:I once heard that when a song reaches a certain age (25 years?, 20 years?) it's assumed that everyone knows the lyrics and so it doesn't have to be censored any more. However, I have been searching for some confiramtion of this and haven't been able to find any. I suspect it's just DJs playing the uncensored version and hoping nobody complains.Originally Posted by Toony
Mmmm censorship.
I'm quite against any form of censorship including this, but I have a question.
I noticed (in the US, atleast) that newer songs have to be really censored for radio. Even words like God and references to drugs get censored. Yet the oldie rock station I listen to can play this song or Pink Floyds "Money" uncensored. Both contain coarse language. Why do old songs avoid censorship? -

Holy crap that's bad.
I am torn between wanting this title to die a quick and painful death, and wanting to buy every issue just to say I have them. -
That's a pretty funny video there TrueGentleman. You might want to throw in a NSFW warning though.

Hmmm...some rich guy (Lucas) is rich enough to believe some wacky ****, and people have to sit and listen to talk about his wacky beliefs because he's rich.
Wow, that's never, *ever* happened before!
I've actually had a few discussions with my wife about the "Mayan-end-of-the-calendar-planets-align-we're-all-doomed!!!-in-2012" crap. She's a high school teacher, and she wanted some rational, scientific arguments to use with her students. Because a sizable percentage of them believe this crap.
Sometimes I wish I were more unscrupulous. I bet one could make a very nice income preying on the fears of the uneducated and weak-minded. -
I dunno...it says available on demand on Feb 25th, and in select theaters on ***--->April 1st<---***.
Seems totally legit.

You know, the one that ends with Fry's dog waiting in loyally for Fry to return. Remember how it really made you choke up, and if you have pets you maybe went and hugged them?
Well, prepare yourself for that again.

Quote:This is exactly what I was thinking, up until my mind descended into noisome pits of gibbering madness from merely looking upon The Chair Mortals Were Not Meant To Sit In Or Even Know About.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
While this is a very cool art piece, I'd worry about parking my caboose there. And not because I'd be afraid of losing my soul (mwahahahaha).
Notice that the chair has no back legs. That means it's using the sculpture portion to bear weight. The problem is that you're creating a pressure point directly in the center of the chair, where there's no vertical support.
Sooner or later you're simply going to sit down on this thing and crack it in half. -

Oh holy crap, what the hell is that?? If I were to see that without any explanation, Venom would NOT be the first thing that comes to mind. It looks stupid.

Article
So, somebody donated some expensive backpacks to an orphanage, using the name of a Japanese comic character, Naoto Date. Since, more people have been making similar donations, also under the names of characters from comics and folklore.
Japan, you're wacky but you've also got a heart of gold. Love ya! -
Ah, so it is. It's been a while since I heard the song and I was going from memory. Thanks for the correction.

anyhow, i always took the narrator of the song to be a satirical character, a yahoo who is shooting his mouth off about how easy rock stars have it while whining about how tough his job is, intentionally crass and crude. so while i did find the word a bit jarring(even back then) it does seem to follow the narrative.The story I heard was that Mark Knopfler was in a TV/Appliance store, and overheard one of the workers watching Prince on MTV, and the line in question was actually said by the worker. Knopfler paraphrased it for the song, but the word in question was part of what the worker said.Quote:Originally Posted by Rylas
This. Considering the fact that it's a rock star singing a song mocking rock stars, I kind of figured none of it was to be taken to seriously. From the land that brought us Kids in the Hall
and SCTV, you'd think satire would be more easily recognized.
And of course, there's notable mention for Space Teens.
I once knew a woman who, when Dire Straits' "Walk of Life" came on the radio, started going off about how demeaning to women the song is. I asked what she meant, and she said, "He talks about having a woman down in the dark, trying to make her pay." Her are the actual lyrics for that part of the song:
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies,
Be bop a loo la baby what I say.
Here comes Johnny singing 'I Got A Woman'
down in the dark, trying to make it pay.
For those of you who don't know, 'I Got A Woman' was recorded by Ray Charles in 1954. It was it his first hit, and has been covered by literally dozens of other artists including Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Monkees, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty and Kanye West. In other words, it's a "standard".
So I explained this to the woman, that the song is about a musician playing cover songs and trying to make "it" (i.e., his music) pay, "down in the dark" (i.e., in dark basement clubs and such). It is NOT about a pimp trying to make money off of a woman.
People can be so stupid sometimes. -
Hmmm...I just though of an adventure hook for the PnP Supers game I'm running right now. Dr. Stratosphere has managed to harness the antimatter-generating power of thunderstorms, and is flying around in his unassailable cloud fortress threatening to destroy major cities unless he is paid 1 BILLION dollars! Muahahahaaa!!
Can the heroes stop this madman before Peoria is wiped off the face of the Earth? -

If you are only concerned about Sleep, you can disable this functionality in Windows itself.
go to Control Panel -> Power Options and mess with the settings there and you should be able to disable sleep. In WinXP I *think* you need to go to the Advanced tab, and change the option of what to do when the power button is pushed. -
