Special K

Great epi, and when ANdo showed up, my balls shorted out the television. But seven weeks?!? Dayumnnn. I can just see next week: Unnnhh. See the series everyone's talking about! Unhhhh people with super powers. Unnnhhh People with stupor... uh showers! someonewillflysomewilldie. /Husky Will Arnett-type guy.

Hiro, Ando, Glases guy, they all kick ass. The onnnnlllly point I have contention with is Ali Larter. Man, her storyline sucks. And she;s pretty bad, all in all... I like Heroes. If one were to really compara the series, it ain;t Neal Stephenson, It's far more J Michael Strazynski (did I spell it correctly? Polish pride!)

Well I saw Ghost Ride and Pan's Labrynth last week. Ghost Ride I was dragged to by a friend, and it was actually really awful, and fun. All do to Nicholas Cage Pan's Labyrintrh was just the shit. I can't believe it was still playing. And Black Snake Moan looks like shit. Coming from somone who loves Ricci, Samuel L, and thought Hustle and Flow was the shit/ It looks so bad.

I watched that epsode solely for Rainn, and I wasn't disappointed. The guy is just really funny. Three notes: I had never heard Arcade Fire, and they were pretty dang good! I've watched SNL about 3 times in the last seasons. Every single one has had the Noony sketch. It sucks. It sucks incredibly hard. Oh, the suck. Oh the suck. Let;s kill time for 5 minutes, of a joke we've seen a billion times! It sort of reminds me of the Lavas, except for it's shit. They're just trying to crack the host up, I guess, But that sketch sucks. Lastly, I like Kristen Wiig. I think she's quite funny and a good addition to the show. However, that Aunt character she plays is just awful. Just awful. I didn't think CAWFEE TAWKK could be worse. Here: a bl;ack screen. "People in NY sometimtes have unique dialects!" Scene.

Pseudo-Asian: Chicken Green Beans water chestnuts green onions Been Sprouts Obviously out of order, but the secret? A dab of sesame oil. That stuff is the shit. But it's totally overpowering if you're not careful.

i too, thought this was about fried cocaine. My texan friend introduced me to a restaurant where they have (pretty poor) BBQ and fried everything. They had a eaparate fryer for silly shit that the customer could bring in. I had a crummy sammich and fried okra (fried okra is the shit,) My friend had a whole deep-fried chicken, and a batter-n-fried entire corn cob. Asshole Army people with their metabolisms.

Well, I just got a ton of comics. Sort of a second moving out, I found a couple of gems: Spectacular Spider-Man 200: I hate this artist, whomever he is. He did the infamous Peter Parker "I'm not a clone!" Bitch-smack. His angry faces are comical.... (oh shit) His angry faces suck. And he draws 90% angry faces. This is a great story though, Where once, the redemption cliche rules. Well hell, Harry'll probably be back because of the new movie. Amazing Spider-Man #400. God this is so good, and so sad and great. So, so great. An incredible tribute to one of the most enduring realtionships in comics. It honestly made me weepy. LET'S FUCK IT UP!

The worst is the new chat style helps for popular sites/programs. M is me. BTW turbotax took like 3 minutes last year. M- I have teo W2's, and the second won't file. I can't find a costomer service number. -What program? M- Free TurboTax, but, I'll pay extra. Did last year. Forward me over, and I'll do it. I already filed my first W2, and that works. -UHHhhhhhhhhh. UHHHHhhhh. What program are you running? M- Windows XP. *2 minute pause* M-Look, I just want to do my fucking taxes. Turbo Tax Free. The program you offer. It has a spot for my second W2, but it doesn't take. The first one shows my income, the second one... Doesn't! -We don't accept that kind of language at TurboTax/ *Literally 10 minutes later* M-I JUST want to add an additional W2 to my file. It won't take on the TurboTax program. I JUST WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ON THE PHONE AND SEE WHY -Oh, we don't have phone service for free customers. HEAD ASPOLODE. WHY WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's not like I was being obscure or anything. I clearly explained my situation and ARRRRRGH. This is hardly exaggeratted, if anything, it's truncated. I was fucking PISSED.

Well done AndrewTS. Great article. I won't enumerate this point, but SEGA had some great RPGs, and they were all outrageously expensive. Which, of course precluded rental stores from offering them. Phantasy Stars II and IV were like $80 a pop! in 1990 dollars! I am sort of grateful that my local stor didn't have PSII, as that game would have made me cry. It's a great game, but damn is it a level grind. The one game my rental place had was Warsong (Langrisser) a ridiculously awesome strategy RPG. Sega America simply had tunnel vision. They pretty much only had platformers. Nintendo was broadening its approach. All things said, the Genesis probably had the better platformers, or at least a greater number of really good platformers. They just didn't exepand. The 3-button controller was a BIG hinderance. Street Fighter II was THE game when it came out. I don't think any other game has had that much impact in the console wars. While Mario and Sonic were incredible games, here was the game every kid wanted to play, and you could only really play it on the SNES. And I never got the appeal of Virtua Fighter. Granted, I only played up until VF3, but it always felt weird and floaty. I always preferred Tekken.

you know, I've only read the first book in the Baroque Cycle. Which was good. He just wrote them too damn fast! I'd go with the Diamond Age or Cryptonomicon before plunging into the Baroique Cycle. Especially Cryptonomicon, which is massive and dense, and drier than his earlier books. I definitely liked the first book in the Baroque cycle, but it doesn't have the humor of Snow Crash. If anything, Zodiac, the book he wrote before Snow Crash, is really fucking funny. It's about an ecoterrorist.

Is cheerful subversion, dirty rock, and satire really the same thing as genius? If so, Ween is the second best band ever.

Just finally went through my collection of comics, the local guy had everything for a dollar. Animal Man: It was good, but Morrison just should've written an autobiography . @5 and #26 were incredibly poignant, but you get the feeling either he's too far gone, or just is a crazy man.

I'm so, so tired of this shit. So, so tired. Nothing thry will do will amount to nothing. Two years before an election. I fucking YEARN for an honest politition. "Mr Wasshington" is done and truly fucked. I know it's obvious, but I cry

Moving, unbelievable literature, In the form of a ZORK story. http://www.wurb.com/if/game/255 This actually made me cry. Just incredible stuff.

Calming down Sadie, I love it Now now now Death valley 69 Man, this show is really fun. It's one of the three shows I watch regularly. That last scene was the shit. Good acting all. One thing though, in terms of promos, does the overhype really work? SAVE THE CHEERLEADER SAVE THE WORLD, SOMEONE FLIES, SOMEONE DIES LOST does a lot of the same thing, but i don't know, the promos for this show are so shitty, it's unbelievable. Oh, and Hiro Protaganist is the shit. Snow Crash is awesome. I wired Neal Stephenson's house once. Helluva guy.

Oh, and the movie did rock.

The thing that's great about this movie, besides really good acting and pacing, is how everthing makes so much more sense after the first viewing. If you watch it again, little things that just seemed to be dramatic touches became clues.

Pretty darn good movie. Good acting. It's pretty hard to tell a murder mystery when there are surviving members of the family. Just wanted to say one thing: Ben Affleck was INCREDIBLE in this movie.The whole movie was decently scripted, and very well acted, but DAMN Ben freaking Affleck, I never would've thought, he was just flat-out awesome in this movie. Judos to him, it's the most unlikely great acting performance I've seen in a long, long time.

The subject pretty much says it all. RUS. sorry

I especially made sure to watch SNl tonigh, and it was really pretty damn good! With Rainn being weird: was he being weird, as in weird, or just in, oh shit, he's relly normal and low-key. Because the interviews I've seen him in, (albeit, two) he's just really low-key.

Almost certainly. And I LOVE that Animal Man cover.

This thread inspired me to plug in the ol' Genesis. I have four games now. Golden Axe 2, Sonic 2 & 3, and um, Flicky, One thing. The levels in Sonic 2 & 3 are fucking HUGE! Way way bigger than Mario World. Ah, who am I to quibble, they all kick ass. I just wanted to phone in: those games are the shit. Fuck, now I want to play NIGHTS because of Sega's 2D glory.

So, you're just in favor of stealing. Ok, that at least makes sense.

Wow. great espisode. Incredibly funny, but man Roy's freakout was intense. Especially after how drama-less everyone was all episode, Jim and Karen happy and cute, Pam cutely trying to be assertive. (Well really, can Jenna Fisher be not cute?) And then BAM like a kick to the nuts. I was really liking him this season too. And man, that little epilogue was actually freakin' chilling. And Dwight popping up in the car? Damn I laughed hard at that. I don't see this happening, as Jim is always very weak with expressing his feelings. I do see him standing up to Roy, but more in the standard that's just what guys do. |And then he's gonna get socked.

My favorite. Honestly, Jimmy Olsen is a characeter who could be killed, it would have little ramifications, but people would be interested/pissed. Pretty much analogous to Blue Beetle. Only, he's a much mopre iconic character. That said, if Wizard has it on the cover, I'm sure it'll happen. (Buffy season 8~!~! it's coming back~!)
