To be almost completely unhelpful: I bought it, and it has been running just fine. So the problem isn't with the game itself.

I bought BioShock from Steam on the advice of friends. This was good advice. Running around the dystopian aftermath of an Ayn Rand novel shooting rage zombies is a ripping good time.

My dad has been going deaf since he was six, and has lost something like 70% of his hearing in one ear and 60% in the other. Didn't get hearing aids until two years ago (he's just about to turn 59). The root of his problem was an untreated ear infection, but there's one principle still the same...

Where the working class writers and actors wouldn't be guaranteed residuals for future sales of their work, thus making it harder to actually make a career out of the business of show.

My favorite criticism of Superman Returns came from Kevin Smith: Superman mind wiped Lois after they slept together in Superman II. So wouldn't she have some pretty serious questions about how exactly she got pregnant with Superman's kid?

So as it turns out, my annoyance at Tommy Meryln's name was a big unfounded. He's not a black clad evil archer.

Since 1971. Which is actually the most important piece here - it was written at the height of Superman's supers and at a time when (so far as I know) comic writers couldn't do much more than hint at suggesting that their heroes might have a sex life. And, so far as I can find, it was intended as...

I'm fairly certain that Niven wrote it more as a satire or joke as opposed to a serious examination of the topic.

First, I am idiot because I was on the third page of searching for this thread before I noticed it was sticky-ed. Second, I just watched the 2010 remake of Piranha and loved the hell out of it. It managed to have the right mix of elements I like in a horror film - humor, tension, gore, and a...

Ok, I get how the mispronunciation and improper titling are gaffes. But I really fail to see how calling a country by the name it chose for itself when meeting with its elected leader is a gaffe. It is contrary to the official policy, but it also seems like simple courtesy. I mean, something...

I think that the Babs Seed song from this episode is my favorite song from the series so far.

Every time I see someone on Facebook post a "Happy Thanksgiving Everybody" status, I flash back to a running gag from the Kris and Scott podcasts of old: "Hey man, how was your Thanksgiving?"

Hmmm....I wonder if breaking Cyke out of jail is what makes Cable's team the most wanted mutant terrorists? Oh, and Indestructible Hulk dropped today. It was fucking amazing.

as a broadcasting nerd, this post reminds me of the sad story of Phil Farnsworth. And now I'm sad.

Well, that depends: Has Cyclops escaped from jail yet? Last I saw (the final issue of Uncanny X-Men), he was still locked up. Emma Frost was last seen in custody as well. I know that Magik is free and I think Namor is as well. Colossus, one of the Phoenix Five, is a member of Cable's X-Force.

February solicits are out! And the Uncanny Avengers suddenly look more awesome:

YJ has had a nearly unprecedented* level of access to characters - Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, Captain Marvel, Black Adam, Icon, Rocket, etc. - that had previously been somewhat inaccessible. The blame for Young Justice's delays rest squarely on the shoulders of Cartoon Network.

Now now, it is a group of a few thousands idiots (if that) in those states that want to secede.

...Obama won by over a hundred electoral votes. What the hell would a recount do?

Even a simple "Cole...I'm dying and this is a Make A Wish, isn't it?" would have been funnier.
