I would expect that 90% of Walmart customers already own at least one firearm. And a surprisingly high number of those firearms are kept in holsters with a confederate flag on them somewhere.
When they do, the entire world will get to discover that, contrary to the perception created by occasionally brilliant shows like The Office, 99% of BBC programming is complete shit.
Sorry, the studio systems are still locked into an ancient distribution system where they sell distribution rights based on country or region. The whole "internet" thing is still confusing to them.
But the 90210 characters were so compelling! There was that handsome dude with the sideburns, and that other handsome dude with the slightly pointier sideburns, and that ditsy blond chic, and that other ditsy blond chick.
How could you not love a show with rich, beautiful people whining about how tough their lives are?
Yeah, the blur used on the one guys's forehead is so obvious you can see it even in these low-resolution pics. Blur is a always a dead giveaway for someone trying to cover up a bad clone-stamp job. Send whoever did that back to photoshop school!
As a long-time Second Lifer (i.e., I'm a sad human being), I would say that Second Life does do one thing very well that very few MMO's do. It attracts women. Chicks really dig Second Life.
Sory, I can only judge the man as he is TODAY. The Berkley Breathed of 1989 was a talented guy, no doubt. But the Berkley Breathed of today is a boring douchebag. Doing one great thing in your life doesn't mean you should be immune from criticism for every fuck-up thereafter.
Yes, the author is clearly talking out of his ass on this one. Home is a lot like Second Life--with the notable exception of not being able to create original content, which a lot of Second Lifers would consider the defining characteristic of Second Life (I don't). But the new Live Experience is NOTHING like it (nor is it in any way a "virtual world"). The closest thing Live Experience has to a "virtual world" is a lousy 8-person chat feature where you and 7 of your friends on live can show off your lame Mii's.
I was excited when I read this headline to think MS had finally unveiled a competitor for Home. But in actuality, it was just a dumbass writer with no clue.
If they had designed it from the ground up as a console MMO, they could be rolling in cash right now. Instead they took the same old route everyone else does and blew their chances at being anything more than another forgotten wannabe-WoW-killer.
Yeah, but VC is untouchable at the guild level. Trying a real WoW raid without VC is an exercise in frustration. And with a console, at least it doesn't require a third-party VC app.
I just hope that Bioware is smart enough to hire the guys behind Star Wars Galaxies to help them with their new Knights of the Old Republic MMO. After all, they have a lot of experience working on a Star Wars MMO.
Unlike most PC MMO's, a console MMO (especially for the 360) would have voice chat already built in. And even if you didn't like VC, you could always buy a keyboard (I think the 360 controller even has an optional keypad for the controller).
Like Groening, let it go on WAY past its prime

Bloom County was probably the best comic strip of the 80's. And, when Breathed started to lose steam, he ended it.
But he didn't, really. He just cut it back to Sundays under a new name. And so that pattern has continued until the series had long since become stale and forgettable. The once-great Bloom County was reduced to a great big pile of who-gives-a-shit.
Sometimes, if you love something, you have to let it go. Better that it dies a dignified death than to drag it on into mediocrity. Matt Groening and Berkley Breathed are, sadly, prime examples of guys who had something truly magical, which they then beat into the ground for decades past when they should have called it quits.

A Mexican standoff between China, the EU, and U.S.?
Now I'm *really* confused.
I think the same thing about women. The pretty ones cost WAY more than they're worth--not to mention the much higher maintenance costs.

You shouldn't have told us that. Now we'll have to invade.

It's one of those things that used to pop up and ask us to buy stuff before adblocker came out.
If by serious you mean "never-ending money pit," then yes, gaming PC's are serious.
Geez, get off her back. She's 43 years old. You couldn't expect her to stay impish forever, you know.
And it would have worked to, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.
Oh yeah, because no one ever judges a GUY on his appearance. That's why I get just as many women throwing themselves at me as Brad Pitt.

Yeah but after she got Alzheimer's, she also kept putting the cat in the refridgerator and mistaking her grandkids for her dead brother.

Amen! A lot of us would much rather look like an imperfect-but-real John Hodgeman than a smug Justin Long douchebag.
I've seen crackheads less addicted than some of my friends who play WoW.
