Fuck yes.; May 24, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Roscoe said...: The new Capcom VS. is against the company who put out Gatchaman and Casshern?!; May 24, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Mike Lewis said...: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull = Indiana Jones and the big stinking load of crap

or, Indiana Jones vs. LAAABUUUFF'S hair; May 25, 2008 at 7:53 PM
_J_ said...: My understanding is that if one enjoys Indiana Jones then they will like Crystal Skull.; May 25, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Unknown said...: I didn't dislike it. It was exactly what I would expect from an Indiana Jones movie.; May 26, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Mike Lewis said...: Obama picks up three more superdelegates; May 26, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Mike Lewis said...: this puts the totals at:

Barack Obama - 313.5
Hillary Clinton - 279.5

with Michigan and Florida:

O - 322.5
C - 294.5; May 26, 2008 at 1:18 PM
_J_ said...: So I didn't think that I would ever want to play Age of Conan since it was just another MMO and I already have WoW to play.

Then I discovered that a number of quests in the game involve rescuing nude sex slaves.

And suddenly I feel compelled to play.; May 26, 2008 at 2:51 PM
Mike Lewis said...: nintendo added Metal Slug to Virtual Console today.; May 26, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Unknown said...: Wow Sydney Pollack died... that is kind of depressing.; May 26, 2008 at 11:17 PM
_J_ said...: He just had to get out of Africa.; May 27, 2008 at 11:43 AM
_J_ said...: If I ever meet the fuckhead at UPS from whose rectum Ship Code pricing was pulled I'm going to beat the fucker to death with something very heavy and threatening.

96708 is zone 46. 96709 is zone 44. BUT 96710? That's back to zone 46. So zone 96711? That's 46 too. Which means that 96712 is...back to 44.

Fucking fuck fucker!; May 27, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Unknown said...: my guess is that UPS uses geographical location to decide its zones. Where as the USPS just puts zip codes where ever the hell they want.

I think the person who decided what zip codes go where is the guy who needs to be mercilessly shot.; May 27, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Caleb said...: So I'm sure you've read YAD's post today about this. I think, J, you should claim the points you are due for working so hard to get the word out about John McCain.

Also, isn't the Internet going to hate the assholes that start going around saying things to earn his McCainbucks?; May 27, 2008 at 12:07 PM
_J_ said...: @Kyle: The other problem I have is how fucking arbitrary the fees are. Here are the changes in fees per pound for zone 2 ground shipping:

+.07 (for two pounds)
+.04 (for three pounds)
+.12 (for four pounds)
+.22 (for five pounds)
+.15 (for six pounds)
+.25 (for seven pounds)
+.16 (for eight pounds)

Really? Eight pounds is $.16 more expensive than seven pounds but seven pounds is $.25 more expensive than six? Really?

@Caleb: Way ahead of you.; May 27, 2008 at 1:10 PM
_J_ said...: Remember that At the SK Office clip I posted a while ago?

Well, SK Gaming downed Kil'Jaeden. That is the World First.; May 27, 2008 at 1:32 PM
_J_ said...: Or maybe not a world first:

"Congrats to SK for the World First for the Horde. Congrats to Method for the first Alliance kill(second European, and second world kill). And congrats to Deus Vox for the first Alliance, American kill."; May 27, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Mike Lewis said...: Or maybe not a world first:

"Congrats to SK for the World First for the Horde. Congrats to Method for the first Alliance kill(second European, and second world kill). And congrats to Deus Vox for the first Alliance, American kill."

what?; May 28, 2008 at 12:26 AM
_J_ said...: That was just additional information for the "SK Gaming downed Kil'Jaeden first" post.; May 28, 2008 at 10:46 AM
_J_ said...: I think that the degree to which inane bullshit matters to those planning weddings is evidence of the degree to which weddings are themselves mostly needless and inane.

My boss wants me to create a Word document he can use to print names on some placecards purchased for his daughter's wedding, which is fine, except that he has to get the correct shade of flower picture so that it can match the other shades of flower pictures used on other things in the reception.

Because if the flowers on the placecards do not match the flowers on the nametags then ZOMG HOLY SHITS!

Note: I had to say "ZOMG HOLY SHITS" because I don't know what would actually happen should these flower pictures be different shades. But my assumption is that something would happen...something bad. It's entirely possible that if flower pictures are different shades then the wedding itself would not count, so the missionary style after wedding sex may be performed out of wedlock, resulting in...something.

Again, I don't know what that results in...but it has to be bad.; May 28, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Unknown said...: I agree that people (read women) pay too much attention to the finest of details in relation to weddings. It hurts my head to think of the crap they care about. It's a card for crying out loud, who cares if it is the same color as the flowers on the table!; May 28, 2008 at 12:57 PM
_J_ said...: "who cares if it is the same color as the flowers on the table!"

YOU DON'T LOVE OR UNDERSTAND ME!

It's almost as if they've missed the point of the pointless ceremony: The signing of a legal contract which ensures that if you ever break up you'll have to split your stuff 50/50.

Not that I don't appreciate the romantic sentiment behind the wedding and find it somewhat appealing. But for fuck's sake could we at least recognize which components are needless and which are important?; May 28, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Roscoe said...: Get the fuck outta town!

Beyond Good and Evil 2 announced?!; May 28, 2008 at 5:59 PM
_J_ said...: I hate that game.; May 29, 2008 at 12:14 AM
Unknown said...: this may well be the coolest non-fiction text i have ever read.; May 29, 2008 at 10:58 AM
_J_ said...: I feel sorry for the monkey and at the same time welcome our bionic monkey overlords.

One of the things I've learned about myself recently is that I feel more compassion for animals that I do people. I do not think this is problematic or flawed...and it may very well aid me in surviving our bionic monkey overlord takeover.; May 29, 2008 at 11:27 AM
_J_ said...: First I read today's youaredumb.net.

Then I read the Dollhouse wikipedia page.

Now I am very disappointed with Joss Whedon. If only because I already know what happens in the series.; May 29, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Unknown said...: I too feel more compassionate for animals than people. I think it is mostly because animals are basically powerless and must come to terms with the fate life has given them, but humans in similar situations are not so powerless and thusly choosing their fates. I feel no pity for a man who suffers the consequences of his own decisions.

Note: I know there are people in the world who are victims of chance and suffering through no fault of their own, and for them I do hold genuine compassion.; May 29, 2008 at 12:16 PM
_J_ said...: "I think it is mostly because animals are basically powerless and must come to terms with the fate life has given them, but humans in similar situations are not so powerless and thusly choosing their fates."

Exactly.; May 29, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Roscoe said...: J, you moron! This is the dreaded mixing of Monkey and Robot! Monkeys HATE Robots! I've two critically acclaimed books attesting to this fact!

Monkeys and Robots equal mortal enemies.

Monkies kinda hate them too, but love what they can do for their sound.

Either way, forcing the two together will only result in an irreversible wave of unadulterated badness.; May 29, 2008 at 12:40 PM
_J_ said...: "Monkeys and Robots equal mortal enemies."

As entities unto themselves? Yes.

But a monkey controlling a robotic arm? The arm is not a robot. The arm is robotic, which is a lazy way of saying "mechanical". The arm does not act independent of the monkey so the arm itself is not a robot.

If the robotic arm were self-motivating and acted upon its own "will"? Then, yes, the monkey would be opposed to it. But when utilized by the monkey to obtain tasty, tasty marshed mallows? The arm itself is neither hated nor an enemy.; May 29, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Unknown said...: Curious George and the Dump Truck is NOT a critically acclaimed book. I hate to break it to you.; May 29, 2008 at 1:14 PM
_J_ said...: I prefer Curious George and the Pneumatic Drill Press.; May 29, 2008 at 1:25 PM
_J_ said...: Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of Ricky Martin.

In a related story Ricky Martin is apparently not dead.

As First Read notes we are still eagerly awaiting the endorsements of New Kids On The Block and the rest of Menudo.

I wonder who Huey Lewis is voting for...; May 29, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Roscoe said...: BASTARD. Robot Vs. Monkey and Robot Vs. Monkey and the Crystal of Power.

touching treatise on enviromentalism.

and monkeys gone wild.; May 29, 2008 at 4:58 PM
_J_ said...: I need to find a lady with whom I can watch the Sex and the City movie. If I go watch it by myself I'm going to feel very lonely, worthless, and gay.

SO gay.; May 30, 2008 at 12:00 AM
_J_ said...: If any of you ever get married do not use placecards to seat people at your reception.

1) Using placecards kills trees.
2) Typing names into placecards is boring.
3) You don't need to be that fucking controlling.

Guess what I'm doing today.; May 30, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Unknown said...: What could possibly stir in you a desire to see sex and the city?; May 30, 2008 at 11:04 AM
_J_ said...: I really liked the TV series. It was entertaining.; May 30, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Unknown said...: ...

...

... oh ...; May 30, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Mike Lewis said...: From Friday afternoon Food for Thought. The Texas Democratic Party as released the final count from its election night Caucuses.

The basic idea is that the caucuses brought out democrats from some of the reddest parts of the state. the Texas DNC now knows where and who the democratic voters are in each county, and area democracts know who each other are.

When the fall comes, these people are going to be able to better organize and help Obama (or the BigO) contest texas!; May 30, 2008 at 2:09 PM
_J_ said...: @kyle

You really ought to watch a few seasons. It is quite a delightful show.; May 30, 2008 at 2:50 PM
MA17 said...: There was a video game documentary (from 2006) that aired on one of the cable NBCs (I think), and there was this one guy who did something with Nintendo and he was given the phrase "hyakuman-dai", （百万台）(1,000,000 machines) to repeat for some reason. When he said it in the interview, the characters I wrote above appear on the screen, and then flip around and become "1,000,000 units" (same thing), unfortunately the last two characters were printed upside down as though the guy who did the animation for the show flipped the original and couldn't remember which way it was supposed to go.; May 30, 2008 at 3:35 PM
_J_ said...: "as though the guy who did the animation for the show flipped the original and couldn't remember which way it was supposed to go."

And it's so obvious that they are supposed to be squiggle side up rather than squiggle side down.

Gah. Some people.; May 30, 2008 at 4:00 PM
_J_ said...: Really close to giving up on Kotaku comment threads.

I'm reading their Guitar Hero On Tour review and peruse the comments when I see this:

"I'm buying it, if only to finally have something to finally play on the DS." - Fallible

Is it possible that someone owns a DS yet NO DS games heretofore available appealed to them?

That's not possible, right? This guy is just being an ass, right?

RIGHT?!; May 30, 2008 at 4:51 PM
