Half-pint, R.I.P.

I was originally avoiding all Half-pint related posts in the Pintsie Awards. It seemed self-serving as it's hard not to be biased toward his coverage. However many of you linked to him in the original content of the year and showed that I am not the only one to miss him. So he deserves to be mentioned.

Links for Half-pint, R.I.P.:

• Anyone else have these problems?
• vs. the Vet
• Now its official - Half-pint is living on borrowed time
• status report: Strangely positive
• vs. the Vet. Round 2
• The last of the borrowed time
• day one
• the cat with no name
• the early years
• random page from the Medical records
• Life lesson and reminder
• One last Hockey Night in Canada
• Half-pint: 1997-2009
  

  Any resemblance to Half-pint's medical file is purely coincidental.

Well not really, but since you're all in a voting frenzy, I thought I'd capitalize on it.

Yes, while this may technically be a long standing internet meme, I am not sure if everyone on here knows about it. People have taken a scene with Hilter in the excellent movie (I know Aku likes it) Der Untergang and re-dubbed it to hilarious results. Although originally I thought that these videos were pretty lame, I changed my mind when I found this article where the director of the movie, Oliver Hirschbiegel, said that he has watched all of them and thinks that they are hilarious.

Maybe this explains why me and Coxxorz can't connect to the Battlefield 1943 servers pretty much all the time.

From the article*:

"Electronic Arts is set to close servers for a number of its games, removing the online component from titles like Godfather and Battlefield 1943 beginning in March."

*Section in bold may or may not be true.

Less than five pages of content for January. Below average for us. All our numbers were fairly low: reads, comments and content. Seeing as how we haven't posted anything for three days just now, I expect that February numbers will also be low. And yes I am aware that I am writing the Top Picks more than halfway through February, that would be my point wouldn't it.

Reoccurring topics this month were RROD's and Zombies (big surprise there).

Top Stories by Read count:

• 213 reads – How many HoC members does it take to light a propane Fondue pot?
• 194 reads – Future Fail : Part 3 - VICTORY!
  
• 158 reads – Must see...
  
  All three winners were very early in the month and all within 10 posts of each other. Nodes 4077, 4087 and 4088. I am glad the winner (Fondue) posted by Blackwalt was an HoC original and not some stupid video about a snake (third place btw). Swag filled in second spot with his ongoing story of buying Modern Warfare 2 at Future Shop.

Han Solo, P.I.

There were many videos shared among the HoC clan and eight different entries made it onto my top list.

Han Solo, P.I. is still the one that cracks me up when I watch it. This maybe be due to, sadly, having the originl Magnum, P.I. opening sequence memorized, but still I laugh.

恭喜發財

and everyone else too. Now, I know unless you are using a decent browser that those characters may not render properly.

It looks like something I just can't put my finger in, er on. Sadly.

I am going to have to to something about a gaming PC (Mac) really soon.

Since it's been in the news so much lately, how about a nice refreshing round of Battlefield Bad Company!
