Herd of Cats

Ok for those of you who have the game.
When you are doing the 'loyalty quests' Make sure you save a lot.
There is a bug that may cause the 'loyalty power' not to unlock.

I went through this with Grunt. Had to start the whole quest over again.
According to some forums it appears to be random. Happens most of the time with Grunt, Samarra and Thane mostly.

So which website for which courier?

I don't really care which courier has it as long as I get it back.

Unfortunately these are the same people I am depending on to have fixed my Halo Special Edition Xbox 360 in the first place.

Confidence level is low.

As most of you know, for the last 5 months or so, I had a roommate / tenant staying at my house while his own house was being built. This person was an old friend of mine from Montreal. What I did not know about him at the time that I decided to let him stay, was that he is a VERY loud snorer. He was in the guest room, with the door closed, I was in my room , with the door closed, and I could still hear him very clearly. And it was not the steady kind of droning, it was the varying intensity / wall shaking feel it in the very core of your body vibration kind of snoring. Read more

Only Two matter. Number 7 and number 8

Topless Robot has provided us with the list of The 20 Nerd Commandments.

Blackwalt however? Full steam ahead!

So Coxxorz and I found ourselves in EBgames. Not that unusual a circumstance I admit, but this day? This day turned out to be slightly different.

Coxxorz is always the one looking for a deal but I was the one that spotted a potential deal standing in EBgames.

A guy in front of us was trading in three games toward something new. And one of them was a game I was interested in.

You can see where this is going, can't you?

Kudos to Future Shop for having the gall

Usually when you charge $10 more than everyone else you don't advertise it nationally.

If you price match this at a competitor does this mean they would charge you 10% more than the difference?

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

Here's the official announcement for the third Borderlands DLC, along with two screenshots!

And the funniest thing this video is two years old!

Too much talkie, talkie. Not enough fighty, fighty.

Before you mock there are two important pieces of trivia involved

1. It was directed by John Woo
2. The spaceship went on to become the Battlestar Pegasus for Battlestar Galactica

The full unsold pilot is available (in 4 parts!) on YouTube:

THE ROBINSONS: LOST IN SPACE Unsold 2004 Pilot Part 2
THE ROBINSONS: LOST IN SPACE Unsold 2004 Pilot Part 3
THE ROBINSONS: LOST IN SPACE Unsold 2004 Pilot Part 4

There may be a 5 and 6 part for all I know as I initially missed parts 3 and 4.

Apparently I'm supposed to "post something" today, so here it is. Read more

We have it here first!

First news coverage of The Pink Menace™ available here.

High resolution PDFs are available. Contact me if you would like one. This is so going up on my office wall.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Someone get Stormblade to stop trying to kill me with his mind! I really didn't used to feel it but the last couple of years it's been starting to hurt. He must have changed his drug regimen.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Guba: I am going to be home alone tomorrow afternoon. I wonder what I will do.

Blackwalt (suggestively): I could come home early ...

Guba: Well, that will eat up 5 minutes.

I told you that Level 28 was doable...

Revisiting the Catwalk of Hope and Love

Not that we made it to Level 28

However Level 27? We did make it to Level 27.

Two down one to go, another town and one more show

So I dropped off the two previously repaired Xbox 360s with our local repair guy, as discussed previously, and he managed to get them both going again with same day service. He fixed my core with the Halo 2 faceplate and Stormblade's Pro with the Pink "Zombie Killin'" faceplate.
