Quote:It's no more frelling stupid than any other gorram sci-fi profanity.Originally Posted by sleestack
Every time I hear reference to fracking (the oil-drilling term), it reminds me how utterly stupid it always sounds in BSG. -
Quote:Agreed. They brought the funny and told a really good story in the process. And the episode with Tex beating the crap out of the Reds and Tucker was absolutely perfect.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
I dunno, this whole season has been pretty humorous while still being fairly serious.

Quote:It would be cool to have a mission string that officially took place after the assault on the Collector base, and have it shaped by the decision to save or destroy the whole thing. Personally, I'd like it if my Shepard(s) had the chance to come in from the cold and rejoin the Alliance Navy, and maybe provide some extremely damning evidence against Cerberus in the process.Originally Posted by ebon3
Speakng of making a choice, one day my Shep is gonna have to answer to the Illusive Man for all his decidedly anti-cerberus choices. That'd be cool DLC and would be doubly so if it could alter Shep's status to a rogue operative in the 3rd game.

Quote:They sorta got the prevalence of air flight right, but aside from VTOL technology (which isn't used on commercial airliners) they got just about everything wrong (I suppose there is some wiggle room depending on how strictly you want to interpret some things, though).Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Actually, they seem to be pretty on-target in that vid... we don't quite have AI cars, and tea isn't served on many airline flights, but other than that...

I stayed loyal to my relationship with Liara, so I'm satisfied. Though I can't help but wonder if they're going to do some sort of epilogue on ME3 that reveals what she's going to do with her situation once the Reaper threat is no more.

I got this as one of the 1941 vids. lol future.

Quote:If only the signature characters in CoX were more well known, maybe Robot Chicken would do a sketch about Black Scorpion and a bunch of Freakshow Tanks trying to pee, with hilarious results.Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal
The thing I just thought of, regarding Black Scorpion, his *****, and his armor, I cannot type for fear of being forever banned from the forums.

Quote:Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see Black Scorpion I wonder whether he still has a *****. Maybe that's where all of his misdirected rage comes from.Originally Posted by Steelclaw
... Black Scorpion's armor? Compensating. Definitely compensating.

Quote:You realize, of course, that a toilet seat graphic would make the Tempered Readiness set all the more hilarious.Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
Embarassing?
With my old computer and monitor, my graphics were poor. No big deal, but when IOs came out, I couldn't tell what the graphic was for the Tempered Readiness set.

I squinted at it and said to myself. "It's a Slow set, but what is that thing? Looks like a toilet seat. That can't be right, can it?"
Now if a fellow can't tell the difference between a toilet seat and a coil of rope, don't let him in your toolshed.

You know what I realized? If they teach that robot to drink, then we've got the early ancestor for Bender.

Damn you all! I was gonna play the new episode of STO, but now I'm going to have to dig into this.

I was in high school at the time, my mom was driving me in to school the morning it happened. I was in denial of one form or another the whole day. I heard about the first plane about an hour after it happened. My first reaction was that it was pilot error. Unlikely, yes, but possible and not without precident (in 1945 a plane accidently flew into the Empire State Building, so it could've happened again). I remember running into one of my teachers in the halls before school started and telling her what happened, since she hadn't heard about it yet.
Everyone was following what was happening, some of the teachers had set up TVs to follow the news. I'd hear bits and pieces of what was going on, and generally didn't believe any of it at first (high schools are rumor mills, after all). I think the most unbelieveable piece of news was that the towers had collapsed. Buildings like that were supposed to be built to handle emergencies, right? There were building codes for fires and they must've shored up the structure after the bombing in '93, surely the towers wouldn't collapse. But, I guess no one could've anticipated an escalation of that scale.
Ultimately, the whole event carries a certain emotional detatchment for me. I'd never been to New York at the time, and I didn't have any friends or family in the area. The whole thing seemed very far away.
The wave of paranoia afterward was very real to me, though. And it annoyed the hell out of me. It was like Wile E. Coyote after he ran off a cliff, and his legs were still running furiously but he wasn't going anywhere. -
Quote:Whereas I like to put turkey on the cheese insideOriginally Posted by Dark One
Yup. Same thing.
For the cheese inside, I also sprinkle in Italian Seasoning and some dried, grated lemon peel. Gives a real nice flavor other than just cheese.

Quote:I do something similar sometimes when I make grilled cheese sandwiches. I like to butter the bread and then sprinkle Parmesan and garlic powder onto the buttered bread. Forms a nice crust of cheese on the outside of the sammich.Originally Posted by Dark One
Tried something new tonight. A parmesan-crusted hamburger.
It was yummy.
Make your standard hamburger patty. Sprinkle on seasoned salt, garlic powder, a little bit of onion powder, and then roll/coat with grated parmesan cheese. By the time the burger is cooked, the cheese will have made a nice, crunchy crust on the outside of the burger. Just don't make the burger too thick or otherwise the timing will be off. I did it with a fried burger, so I don't know how it would work grilled.
I also put parmesan cheese on the outside of grilled cheese sammiches. Again, makes a nice crunchy crust on the outside. -

Quote:Make plum cakes?Originally Posted by Impish Kat
HALP!
I have 5 lbs of ripe prune plums (small, egg-shaped) in my 'fridge.... What can I do with them besides jam (which I'm not very good at)?
I have a very clever friend who made a little "Pico de Plum" salsa, which was quite yummy, but she did it when her fruit was still a little underripe and therefore more firm (also, she didn't make 5lbs of it). My fruit has ripened and needs a treatment NAO.

Quote:I've been wondering about that, too. I haven't been able to catch an episode, and Hulu doesn't have the whole season up at the moment (I don't want to jump in on the middle of the series).Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
How is Covert Affairs? The billboards looked unappealing to me. Is it any good?

Quote:It looks pretty cartoony. I'd say that if anyone mistakes it for a real girl, there's more for them to worry about than swerving into a tree. Plus, with all the press this is getting (I heard a story about in on the NPR station down here in SoCal) you'd have to be living under a rock not to know what's going on and expect to see the girl hologram when you drive down that particular section of road.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
Also, this is an idiotic idea. I foresee several people swerving out of the way needlessly.
edit: Also, the hologram is on a street next to a school, so it would see heavy traffic in the morning and afternoon. It's not like they stuck it at the end of a cul-de-sac or out in the middle of nowhere on the Alaska Highway. -
Quote:Fad or no, Facebook has had a big impact on global culture. Plus the story of its creation is full of juicy intrigue and betrayal, so it's perfect Hollywood fodder.Originally Posted by beyeajus
sounds like a desperate attempt to squeeze as much $$$ as possible out of the craze, to me.
