    Turn them into Servitors, in the Emperor's name.

    Does that mean I've been tricked into reading TFA?

  3. Re:shadow boxing didn't annoy them? on Guild Wars 2 Release Date Announced · · Score: 5, Informative

    Shadow boxing is that old nemesis of immersion, it is when your and your opponents moves do not synch up. When neither seems to respond to the other. WOW for all its faults does not suffer this.

    I'm sorry, but WHAT?

    The amount of times I've fought a dragon, or Ragnaros, in WoW and been hitting some piece of space between a circle drawn on the gound and the polygons of the creature I'm fighting are too numerous to count. How often have you heard "The boss has a huge hitbox" in WoW?

    Have a look at This Youtube video I made and you can see the 2 most annoying things I ever faced in the game. 1) My character being INSIDE the boss and 2) My character hitting the boss from a distance greater than the length of my weapons.

    WoW doesn't have shadowboxing? Don't make me laugh.

    It's like the Kinect. Once geeks got their hands on it, it became much more than a gimmick games controller.

    I've seen this one, "12 Angry Anthropoids"

    Can't they just shake them to get the dissolved CO2 out? Works for a bottle of coke. What if they gave the rabbit a Mentos?

  9. Re:The deaf are kind of militant these days on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 1

    I'm a type 1 diabetic, and I can't imagine forcing that on a child. It makes like a pain in the butt.

    Is that really where you should be injecting yourself?

    Supermarkets are also a necessity.

    Some people (not me, I'm not the argumentative type) would argue that 'art' forms are also a necessity for an intellectual and social animal

  11. Re:I don't need a tablet on U.S. Judge Grants Apple Injunction Against Samsung Galaxy Tab · · Score: 2

    The way I see it is that Apple must have serious concerns about the efficacy of Samsung's product to so aggressively stall any attempt for them to enter their market. Samsung really MUST be doing something right, perhaps Apple fear that the Nexus tablet is a better device?

    This behavior by Apple is only reinforcing me to want to at least consider alternative products when buying a tablet.

    A form of Streisand Effect I guess.

    There's a typo in this article. It says:

    "Only Americans who believe in Jesus walking with dinosaurs will be taken up to be with him and all his friends in heaven when the Rapture comes"

    It should read:

    "Only Americans who believe in Jesus walking with dinosaurs will be taken up to be with him and all his friends in heaven when the Raptors come"

  14. Re:this is new how? on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    Whenever I travel, I leave my passport in the hotel safe, and bring a photocopy of it with me + my driver's license. I've never been asked to show the real passport upon reproduction of the photocopy.

    The only exception to this was when advised to have the real passport with me at all times in Russia. Most tourist spots I've been to aren't bothered with just the copy.

  15. Leveson Inquiry on State Media Rushing Into Coverage Void Left By Dying Newspapers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sky News have been reporting on this non-stop for weeks, constantly taking any free minute to drive home that the BBC is being subject to this inquiry. I'm so glad that non-government media is so impartial!

  16. Re:Reminds me of when the aliens were looking for. on Does Jupiter Have More Water Than NASA's Galileo Detected? · · Score: 1

    An alien species with the ability to find and get to earth lands in the american south? Surely beings of such intellect wouldn't make a mistake like that, and land in Ireland instead.

  17. Re:Unknown? on Lonesome George Is Dead At 100 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, with no women around he should have been able to live forever. I think the scientists are to blame for introducing him to not just one, but two females. There's your cause for reduced lifespan right there.

    Yes, but you don't suddenly drop dead from being old.

    He was a Tortoise, they don't suddenly do ANYTHING.

    That's why they are getting ASUS, the maker of the Transformer to build their Nexus. The transformer is a great competitor to the iPad.
