    Analyst: Steam to Offer Trade-Ins

    I suppose. I just tend to think the worst when it comes to DRM and companies being benevolent enough to trust their customers. Still, if there's a developer that would do it, it'd be Valve, so who knows.

    Luuuucky, kinda: 33 Trapped Chilean Miners Found Alive, But Could Be Stuck 4 Months

    Luuuucky, kinda: 33 Trapped Chilean Miners Found Alive, But Could Be Stuck 4 Mont Just this once, everyone lives. :) Glad to see it had a happy ending. Those miners... Man, the pair they all must have.

    Analyst: Steam to Offer Trade-Ins

    Yes, but there's a difference between every so often and every time you try to play the game. I'm not saying that there aren't easier ways to pirate games. I'm just saying that allowing returns would force intrusive security measures on those who did legitimately buy games via Steam. I don't...

    Analyst: Steam to Offer Trade-Ins

    Remember the Assassin's Creed 2 DRM debacle? That's the sort of thing that they would have to package with every game to make sure that people didn't just buy the game, download it onto a couple different machines, crack it, then "return" it. A required online check every time you start up the...

    Analyst: Steam to Offer Trade-Ins

    I really don't see this happening. Too many issues with the DRM that this would necessitate.

    Beat me to it. >:( "So what are you telling me? That I can dodge books?" "No... I'm telling you that when you're ready, you won't need to."

    Cool optical illusion (stare at the center for 30 seconds)

    Pretty much. Good way to give yourself a headache, I learned...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    My friend told me an absolutely terrible pun today. What did Satan say when he saw that he was going bald? "There's going to be Hell Toupee!"

    Cool optical illusion (stare at the center for 30 seconds)

    GAH EVERYTHING'S TWISTING D: I've seen it before, but it's still cool. Hm... I wonder what happens if you look at one, then look at another. -tests-

    Mass Effect 2 : Awesome Prop Work

    That is incredible... Apparently the guy's made armor too. Gotta admire that kind of dedication.

    Left 4 Dead: The Sacrifice - Oct. 15 - SPOILERS within

    We all picked random, and we all agreed that the person who was Bill would be the one to die. To honor him, kind of. Totally got stuck being Bill... Did get an achievement out of it though, so it's all good. Definitely a fun DLC. No Mercy is brutal with the new Infected... and was it just me...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Resident Evil: Afterlife. The only good scenes were the ones with Wesker or the Executioner. Everything else sucked. Seeing Wesker beat the Mary Sue out of Alice in the first 10 minutes of the movie made the entire damn thing worth it, though.

    Pokemon HeartGold tips?

    Defense Curl + Rollout = Double damage, according to the wiki. So if he's going to get Rollout, he should really keep Defense Curl. He could ditch Rock Throw and go with Rollout, though. That would leave him with SD, Rollout, Defense Curl, and Magnitude. Sounds solid.

    Pokemon HeartGold tips?

    Your current lineup is good... I would ditch Togetic though. Noctowl's a better flier, and Kadabra's a better psychic. Speaking of, Kadabra would round it out well. From there, I'd go for an electric... Not sure what electric mons are around that area. Geodude, I would stick with Defense Curl...

    The Next Hollywood Fail - Pepe Le Pew.

    There is no way that this can end well. Pepe Le Pew has... not aged well.

    The fish is mutating!!! (well not really just a rare one) This one has teeth

    That fish looks like it's plotting to kill Batman, not typical fishy things.

    Windows installation failure

    Turns out the motherboard was defective. Thanks for the help regardless. Now just gotta wait a couple weeks for Newegg to send the replacement. :D

    Windows installation failure

    Hm. Tried resetting the CMOS and reloading the BIOS to the factory ones. Also made sure everything was hooked up properly. A thing I forgot to mention, when the Windows installation gets past the initial black and white screen, it can take up to ten minutes for the next popup to appear. So I...
