I wasn't fond of Bender's Game...but for a particular reason: I enjoyed the A story, and I enjoyed the B story, I just didn't like how they were joined together. Very awkward.
3 and 4 disappointments? Leela's Homeworld, Jurassic Bark, The Why of Fry, Roswell that Ends Well, Godfellas, The Sting, The Farnsworth Paradox... plenty of episodes in those seasons that make them worthwhile...and I could probably come up with more if I had an episode list handy.
It's just subsets of the superset. You're not supposed to add all three together.
20% of 100% can't see the Milky Way. 66% of a select 4% can't see the Milky Way. 50% of another select percent (dunno what EU/World is offhand) can't see the Milky Way.
Well, in real life the dice are imperfect. They have flaws, pips shift the weight. People don't roll dice the same way twice. Gravity bounces the dice. . On the other hand, RNGs roll 'ideal dice' which in effect remove all these flaws from the rolling and reduce it to the simplest operation. . So we've got conflicting goals here. This machine reintroduces many of the original random elements of actually rolling dice. The operation may be imperfect, but those imperfections reintroduce the atmosphere of rolling dice, which may be more important than a pure (round(rand(6))+1).
Well, frankly, NASA's the only part of the budget I don't mind seeing my tax dollars go to.
You go ahead believing your taxes go to Congressmen's paychecks and welfare and food stamps and Medicare...I'll hold out hoping that mine's being diverted to Orion.
It's not 'lazy to learn' a new set of apps, it's 'utter panic and fear at having to move years and years of vital company data from one business application to another.'
I know companies that still use applications that are little more than absurdly complex DOS.BAT files because that's where all their data is.
Learning a new system is child's play compared to migrating all the data, ensuring nothing is lost, getting everything to work (laser printers, faxes, god forbid there's any dot matrix or thermal printers...)

Whoosh. (The link was to the free AVG version.)
In fact, forget the lens flares and the blackjack!
+1 Internets. Would be more, but you came in as AC.

Yeah, but that one also had Bender becoming a microbrew. Six of one, half dozen of the other.
Plus, it's not like *every* episode can be a smash. I'm sure there's some in 1 & 2 that aren't exactly fondly remembered.
Easier to make Family Guy drinking games though.
Recognize a pop culture reference? Take a shot.
Be the only one in the room who gets it? Take two shots.

These are science geeks, not English majors. We know what we mean; who cares if no one else can understand us?

Number of penguins eaten by polar bears on a yearly basis: zero.

Success! We've trained this dog to sniff out bombs and counterfeit DVDs. Unfortunatly, all he can do now is detect fake copies of Uwe Boll films...
Wait, demos are now released after the retail copy of the game?
Sickness does not beget special treatment.
I'll remember that the next time I see a handicapped placard on a car.

Clearly, some mod has never seen SNL.

The customer is always right. The customer is also always an idiot.

That'd hold as much water as the argument that "Any money changing hands is for time only. Anything performed between two consenting adults is legal."

Why don't we use robots? Well, we do, and frankly all the good exploration comes from robots, not from people.
Sample #15415 would disagree with you...
Plus that additional gem of useless grammatical info at the end. Brilliance.
