Best prank on TV. Ever.

Damn it, I just came to post this! But yeah, Best. Prank. EVER!!!

I have a question,the make up on his eyes,is it supposed to be make up or is it meant to be Shadow?

It's supposed to be his version of a mask/shadow to hide his features.. I guess they felt a "real" mask was too comicy...
For Batman, there are several scenes where you can clearly see the eye shadow.. then it disappears... probably they didn't want any scenes where batman is unmasked, but the actors face is still obscured... I believe this happens in every version of batman except the original tv series where batman didn't have any eye shadow at all...

Question..
Under PC you have: Real Heroes: Firefighter
Wasn't this released like a year or two ago? is it a new version? I can't find any info on this and actually liked the arcade game...

FYI. game is live.

Anyone know how to skip the opening intro video? Having problems getting the game to work..(black screen right after video).. I am trying various troubleshooting things, but getting tired of having to wathc the video everytime.

Wasnt this part of the problem with the housing bubble to begin with? Apprasiers over appraising houses so that refinancing now, can in some case come back with a value lower then even your existing mortgage... I think what happened is that we went in one extreme (over-valuing) and it caused problems, so now we are swinging into the other extreme...
You can request a 2nd appraisal, but you will have to pay for it regardless of what it comes out as and I'm not sure what would happen if it is drastically different...
You should double-check and make sure they really do have your whole house on the appraisal though..

I'm through ep 3 (saving 4 until 5 comes out) and this is one of the best storytelling/gaming experiences that I can remember having.  Just incredible.

Few glitches here and there, but it is just fantastic.

I finished only EP1, then started EP2 and stopped quickly... decided that I wanted to just wait for the whole thing to be out before playing... sort of like waiting for a TV season to end and then doing a marathon... I hate cliff hangers..

Why do they always have to screw over the PC?  

The PC is dead! Long Live Winbdows 8!

dangit, no mention of PC beyond this:

Hey guys, glad to see so much enthusiasm about the release announcement. For those asking about the PC platform, we're currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game and don't have any details to share about a PC version at this time. Anyone that continues to spam the comments section will have their commenting privileges suspended.

a pc game, not the pc game... 

maybe they'll actually make a decent Star Wars movie now...?

I'd say there's a chance.

For better or worse, Lucas always said he really had no stories for an episodes 7-9. So saying they'll have a movie by 2015 seems awfully, awfully optimistic.

Well, there the whole expanded universe to pull from.. and would be a good idea, so that can minimize script time... Also, I'm pretty sure Disney didn't just wake up this morning and decide to buy LucusFilm.. It's probably been in the works for a while and they may have had agood indication that it would go through, which could mean that they already started a script..

As prepared as I can be... waited 8 hours, but got a generator just in case.. no evacuations in my area called... and work is still on...
Watching the news just annoys me with some of the ways people are acting though... areas in severe danger have evacuations and people are just like "no, we'll be fine as long as we stick together" and other such nonsense... So, if we all just stick together, we can avoid storms forever? Is Linda going to take a look at this "strong" group of people and say"Whoah, let me just skirt around here..."
And this was from people on beachfront proerty, where the ocean is already just about lapping at their door and the hurricane hasn't even arrived yet... EIA indeed!

Wife kept pushing to get a generator.... so here I am waiting at Lowes for 5 hours waiting for their truck to come in... they gave out 200 tickets and im 181.... they "should" be getting 200, so hopefully it wont be a waste of time... cops just showed up though... nobody knows how this is going to work... they have tickets, a line, and a signup list.... 6 different employees and 6 different answers,but each employee insists that they are correct... and of course, all managers are "unavailable".....

I have completely given up on all weather forecasts... My only way to tell the actual weather is to look outside.... Typically, they say doom...nothing happens... They say don't worry about it... all hell breaks loose...
My store sold out of D batteries and flashlights today.. My wife went food shopping and it was packed.... my boss went through 6 Home Depot/Lowes stores before he found a generator....
I'm gonna make sure my laptops , cell phones, tablets, and kindles are all charged and make sure flashlights have batteries... thats about it.... maybe buy some water...although the wife wants a generator now....
amyway, not gonna worry about it too much....I've tried controlling the weather before...Seems I've lost all of my superpowers, so bah... oh, and I'm in Jersey...

I have had MULTIPLE customers with "letmein" as their password...

Good thing my 2 main passwords aren't on there. Password and 1234567890

I played a little more of this yesterday and at least it was more stable... Didn't crash once for me..

I believe the small map is on purpose for the alpha test...
combat still seems a little wonky, although I did finally kill a zombie! I would prefer easier to kill zombies, but more of them... plus some sort of crosshairs, even for melee weapons, so you can aim at the head... either that, or don't require headshots to kill zombies.. I got into a fight with a zombie that killed me real quickly...

Don't like the death penalties at all.... having to wait an hour to respawn is kind of crazy. (Yes, I do know you can load an alt, but if all of your alts are dead, you have to wait or delete an alt.. plus, you lose all of your inventory on death and respwaning doesn't get it back, so you basically respawn "naked".. and you can't melee unarmed... would be nice to at least be able to knock zombies down or something...

Did not get PKed in my latest adventure, but didn't really run into anyone..

Well, he had to keep busy for 5 years... Think 5 years with nothing to do but train/exercise.....

Comic Spoiler for Bullwinkle:

Spoiler for Hiden:

I don't recall there being a zombie baby but it's been a while.  But definitely the mom and baby all die in the prison.  It was so horrible.  I think it's also when the main guy gets his hand chopped off, but maybe they've substituted that now with Hershel's leg?

Comic Spoiler..

Spoiler for Hiden:

Almost positive, She didn't die to a ways after the prison. IIRC, it was after they had left and were looking in a walled off community that had a sign outside warning about the dead inside, but the sign was covered over.
Rick did lose his hand during the prison/governer series I beleive.
The TV show has taken way too many detours from the comic at this point so anything goes...

["snarky and annoying smart ass who thinks he's funny but really just irritates the hell out of everyone".]

Although Reynolds WOULD be a good Deadpool, I think. He likes the character, and he could pull off "wacky badass" reasonably well, I think.

The only thing Ryan Reynolds can pull off is  "snarky and annoying smart ass who thinks he's funny but really just irritates the hell out of everyone".

Isn't that the very definition of Deadpool?

The alpha is now available for buyers.... downloading it now, so it should be ready by the time I get home..

It's an oddly competitive industry for a purchase that most people only make every 10-ish years.

Wouldn't this BE the reason for the competiveness? If you only had 1 shot to impact your customer every 10 years, wouldn't you want to be competetive?

We need a petition!

Anyone heard of any savegame issues? have a few hours in the game and went to load a game and there aren't any saves listed...

FYI. Pre-order isup and available. Early game access Oct 15th..

Windows 8 is a BIG departure in interface (you don't get access to the desktop from what I've heard) and is designed more towards tablets/touch devices.  I'm waiting to see what hardware manufacturers do with it (ie come out with a touchscreen LCD).

Win 8 was designed for touchscreens/tablets, so it works "better" on those type of systems.
You can sort of access the old desktop interface still, but it isn't running in the background or anything. it is an actual app that needs to be run.
The interface has totally changed from all previous versions of Windows and will have a learning curve... I am still undecided overall on if I will make this my main OS, but I will be getting Win 8 for learning purposes...

Damn. I think I still have a years worth or so of gametime cards...

Not sure how big your company is, but if it has an HR dept or some sort of policy for this, you should check with them... and keep in mind it is a request nd you my be denied...

Has anyone had a chance to try this yet?

Spoiler for Hiden:

Oh, and for the killer engineer... I feel he's a soldier and..
He sees most of his friends killed while getting ready for an attack on earth.
Then he gets put into a sleep chamber for a while
Then he gets woken up by the same people he was going to kill anyway, so he's pissed and tries killing them now
some get away and then more of the people he was trying to kill ram him and wreck his ship... and they probably weren't insured for ship to ship accidents and they are dead to boot, so probably no insurance claim.
so he's pissed some more and goes after the last human he finds (maybe, just to get license info?)

so anyway.. he's a soldier who was supposed to attack earth/humans anyway and just got started before getting to earth.

as to why... Maybe the whole earth/human thing was just an expiriment that went wrong and they are trying to clean up the mess...

Spoiler for Hiden:

The cave paintings were dated to 35,000 BC (well after the origin of Homo sapiens but about as ancient as we find any art). Then we have Egyptian and Sumerian art likely dating from 3,000 BC - 0 AD showing the same thing. So the engineers were clearly around for a good long while.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Or the more "recent" ones were based on stories passed down through generations..

Well, even if ebay says give a refund, he'll have to return it 1st at his expense, so I'd offer to refund it after I received back... and insist on tracking the shipment or you can't guarantee you receive it.

I currently pay $177 on Verizon for 2 smart phones with unlimited text and data... unlimited phone isn't a big deal since we never go over...
Current data usage average over 6months is:
Me about 1.56GB
My son is 9.73GB with a few months going over 10GB...
So on the new plan I would be paying $200 ($23 more)AND now have overages...
No Deal... (assuming they let me keep my contract...

FYI... Security Breach at the forums..

I still can't connect to an actual game. I used the auto installer so I'm pretty sure my game is up to date, but no matter what server I pick I get an error message saying "Unable to Connect".

You have to have the same version as the servers... some servers have different versions..

I finally got it installed last night, and I couldn't connect to a server either. It kept telling me "Can't connect to server" with no real reason why. Not sure If Im not running the same version of the Arma, Arma OA, or DayZ. The Arma versions are confusing because I have the Combined Ops retail version, which you have to install Arma and OA separately, then they each have a different version number. I DLed the 1.11 patch and installed it, but nowhere in the game does it say I am running 1.11. It says 1.6. Confusing as all hell, especially since all the FAQs I can find assume you have the Steam version installed.

I believe the 1.6 you are referring to is the MOD version#...
And it can take a while to get in.... sometimes as long as 5-10 minutes...
remember, it's an alpha...

so is this a Prequel to the Prequel?,shouldn't 'Dawn' come before 'Rise'?

Don't think so... you can't have a dawn if the the sun never rises first...

anyone have a favorite server yet?

So is there only 1 server or are there several to choose from? Also, is there stat progression and experience points, or just item and weapon gathering to find better gear?

A little more detail...
ALL of the servers report back to the "main" data servers which are housed by the developer... This is why you could log off one public or private server and jump on another and still have all your gear and spawn in the same location you logged out in. I believe the developer is also a developer on ARMA 2 or ARMA 3...

Some things I don't like...
1) Zombie spawning.. (NOTE: I am not a fan of AI respawns in pretty much any game, although, I am a little more accepting when it's done somewhat logically....) Zombies can spawn near you at almost any time it seems... I cleared a small hanger type building, went to the 2nd floor( which had an open view of the 1st floor), cleared that... walked into a small room for about 10 seconds, then came back out to find zombies on the catwalk near me and back on the 1st floor.
2) This is probably due to the Alpha status, but zombies seem to be able to crawl through walls and such, so clearing a building then closing the doors doesnt help.
3) You can go hungry and thirsty while logged off.. (The mod requires you to have food and drink, plus watch your temperature...).. This means If you can't play for a few days, you might log back in to have your food and drink status bottomed out... I think this affects healing or bleeding or something...

I still haven't met up with anyone and really think this game "requires" you to have someone (or a group of someones) to play with.. for the creep factor, the difficulty in surviving, and the boredom of running walking through the woods alone...

If your photo and video editing software supports multi-core, you will most likely see a performance boost with the i7... plus $150 to jump up, especially if you only replace a PC after 7 years, would be worth it...

The wife and I saw this in the morning and we both liked it... for us it was a good fun cheesy action movie... yeah, there were parts of the plot that didn't make sense, but it was still a good romp.. quite a few references to the game, but I do think they didn't need the license at all... different title and no license and I think this may have been better received by a lot of people..... but definately a check your brain at the door type thing...

The Coulson/Card thing

Spoiler for Hiden:

Yeah, we did see Coulson's body with Nick Fury standing over it when he died.  The cards thing was clearly a trick by Nick Fury, which the chick was calling him on and Fury reacts accordingly.  If Coulson is in Spiderman, it's before this happened.  If Coulson is magically alive, he is no longer purely human.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Nope.. We saw him lose consciousnees/appear to die, then the medics show up, then Fury says over the radio that the medics called it... Minor thing, but we didn't see the medics call it or give up....
I could see Fury lieing about this to give him an opening for the card trick..
