Tripping The Lightsaber Fantastic
Apparently Tony Perkins and his anti-LGBT stormtroopers have nothing better to do than to complain about virtual same-sex relationships in the new Star Wars online game. After first going after Girl Scout cookies, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins is now attacking the game Star Wars: The Old Republic for allowing same-sex relationships. Stephen Reid [...]

Newt Gingrich Secures All Important “Barrens Chat” Vote with Key Chuck Norris Endorsement
Was he this much of a clown in the 70’s (Chuck, not Newt): For my wife, Gena, and I, we sincerely believe former Speaker Newt Gingrich is the answer to most of those questions and deserves our endorsement and vote. We agree with our friend and governor of the great state of Texas, Rick Perry, [...]

It’s all fun and games until someone skips a mortgage payment
I did catch part of the republican debate last night. Very interesting in a make me want to shoot my TV kind of way. Also watched my beloved Broncos beat the Steelers last night. The only thing I have to say about that was that if Tim Tebow were as a good a Quarterback as [...]

Game Theory
What kind of games do people play? Card games, board games, sports, mind games, computer games, console games? What kind of computer if that’s your thing? What kind of console? I’m currently playing left4dead and left4dead2 from my steam account on PC. I have a pre-order in for Star Wars The Old Republic, and as [...]

You’ve Unlocked Open Thread From The Supply Crate!
Contractually obligated to mention college football, Huskers host Northwestern today. Also, I think I may have solved the Republican 2012 candidate problem for them. He loves guns, he’s a super-rich CEO and he beats up parking lots full of hippies. He’s the perfect GOP candidate, frankly. Sure he’s Australian, but that’s never been a particular [...]

Saturday Morning Open Thread
Just to butch it up a little around here. Or to demonstrate the mundane futility of middle-aged life in the semi-suburbs, where my weekend will start at either hardware or the chain drugstore, with a side trip for pet supplies, and as a reward: sock shopping. Anybody got more ambitious plans to share?

Corporate Integrity- GameStop Edition
This is some really bad behavior: Yesterday morning, a long awaited title called Deus Ex: Human Revolution was finally released to an eager audience. Tucked inside the box was a little surprise: a coupon for a free copy of the same game through the still relatively new game streaming service, OnLive — something which, if [...]

Early Morning Open Thread: Gresham Wept
Unlike Mr. ‘Every Boomer Nerdgirl’s First Crush’, the Guardian reports that China uses prisoners for WoW goldfarming: As a prisoner at the Jixi labour camp, Liu Dali would slog through tough days breaking rocks and digging trenches in the open cast coalmines of north-east China. By night, he would slay demons, battle goblins and cast [...]

Non geeks will not understand this, so you have been warned. Just got done talking with some buddies I’ve known since vanilla, and we talked about all the hell we went through raiding, with MC’s living bomb, who went into C’Thun’s room, etc., and I remembered this from BC, which makes me laugh every time [...]

Late Night Open Thread: #Not Intended to Be A Factual Person
NYMag’s Daily Intel reports that “Now the Only Evidence That Jon Kyl Lied About Planned Parenthood Will Be the Entire Internet“: A couple of weeks after claiming that abortions account for “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does” — it’s actually 3 percent — and then explaining that he had actually never intended [...]

Don’t Mess With My Man Izzy
Because (a) we are in fact entering the holiday silly season, which is a big part of the reason we’re hearing cretinous sh*t about primarying Obama and… (b) Because my adrenalin and my caffeine receptors have maxed out, and I just can’t think about what we’re going to need to do to rescue an American [...]

Just got the new computer set up and Cataclysm downloaded and installed, then all the mods, and I’ll be out of the loop until the AM. One note- not to make light of prison rape, but I support it for whoever thought an underwater zone would be cool.
