It boggles my mind the deductions scientists can deduce from looking at light from the sky. (Re: Planets, finding them, determining their composition, etc.)
I like determining the positions of several thousand atoms to within ~0.02 nanometers with the aid of a particle accelerator that's 1 mile in circumference
With the new Spectator Patch for League of Legends, spectating normal and ranked games is now possible. You can either watch a game your friends are in or there are also 5 "featured" games going on at the home screen. Are these just random ranked games? Those at the top of the ladder? If the ...
While playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer as an infiltrator, about 30% of the time that I use Tactical Cloak it turns itself off within a second, triggering the cooldown again. Is this a bug that other people have experienced? Is there a way to keep it from happening?

and it will shut down soon because we are not getting enough players. We also will need a lot of donations, but PLEASE can someone help us? We REALLY need money and the server is very important to us :C
@spugsley I bet, that's a pretty sweet deal on that monitor. Seems a bit inconvenient that your Best Buy is closing though, they should have given you more bossly deals.
@NickT Of the many things I'll pretend to be known for, selling ice cream is not one of them.
@spugsley I can only imagine why this was starred. That aside, the solution of course is to win more contests and get more shiny things for free, thereby removing the need for a Best Buy-like experience altogether. nods
@RavenDreamer oh geez, where do I start? There's a bunch of ill things coming out of it. Like a lot of children are going to lose health insurance, many people will lose their hospital visitation rights, a ton of domestic violence verdicts are going to be overturned. It's insane
@Wipqozn the TLDR of it is: "On Tuesday, North Carolina will vote on a state constitutional amendment that declares, “Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized,” thereby banning recognition of same-sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships of any kind."
The problem is that politicians and activists pushing for this are saying things like "Gay marriage should be illegal!" But it already IS illegal in NC. People think that passing this bill makes it legal, which isn't true. It just takes away all their rights and the rights of any family that isn't married under the correct NC law circumstances (ie: couples who have been together for 10+ years and have children together have zero rights)
@Wipqozn Well no, this is worse, because it's already illegal. The amendment will just make things worse for everyone because of the language in the amendment. See @spugsley's comments
@TimStone I have nightmares about flies. And babies. Recently, I had a nightmare about fly-babies. Not like a baby fly, but like a baby with a fly head.
OH! My favorite baby nightmare: I was journeying across a post-apocolptic wasteland and I found this beat up, plastic baby doll half buried in the ground. And when I uncovered it's face, it said in the deepest male voice I have ever heard, "Your gift includes a baby."
It is common that a flash game is on multiple websites, e.g. Newgrounds, Armor Games or Kongregate, among countless others.
Is there a good way of referencing a flash game so one can point to it unambiguously and access (or share) it in the future?
In particular, is there any website trusted an...
@LessPop_MoreFizz And I'm stuck looking at pictures of James Earl Jones and imagining him saying "Your gift includes a baby." I didn't think this could get any more terrifying but it just did
Did it start with "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."? If not, it's not the worst worst.
@MarkTrapp nope! It starts like this: "I was twelve the first time I saw my brother's scars. Thin, stark-white lines of varying lengths spread across his pale skin from wrist to shoulder. "
@Krazer it's about a younger sister dealing with her brother's depression and self-injury. It explores the concept of mental illness in teenagers and how the people in their lives are directly affected by their actions.
@Krazer can you think of another word that might get the point across without coming out and saying 'scars'?
meh, actually, I like my opening. It's not a secret that the marks are scars. The story is a remembrance from the sister's perspective so I think that line actually works
@spugsley I think that instead of calling out the scar right away you should describe the scar as something that is unknown and foreign to you, something you don't know what the word to describe it. I.E., By change you saw these strange marks on your brother... you describe this in detail, then smack the reader with... then I found out they were what you called scars. (Since it's about a girl that is 12, add a bit of naivety to it :p)
So getting back to gaming... what TV show or movie would (you think) actually make a pretty fun game to play or vice versa?
You know you play too much Heavy Rain when your phone rings and you automatically think press up

It's all right, but I went into it thinking it was a revolutionary game. Turns out it's like the 7th or 8th game to do the exact same thing, and the 3rd from the same studio
