Before every commercial we are getting the "Coming up on" stinger to "keep us interested and coming back".   It makes me want to not come back. 

Ron, I follow the @syfy twitter feed and they had a Q&A this morning: no more "advance looks", that was only for the premier.  I really liked it as well, but I pretty much don't watch anything these days unless it's on my DVR first, so I didn't notice them that much.

I'd pay to be in the founders club. Hell, offer me a lifetime membership for something outrageous and I might even consider that. I could be classified as a lurker, but I know a few folks here and the write ups are always good. Watching the forums is what I spend more time doing, but that's what they are for, right?

Give Adam a throat lozenge in this one. Or remove the cyber gravel from his robo-larynx.

Freespace 2, I think.

As for Peter Dinklage, the only role I could think of off the top of my head that would be great for him would be Arcade, but that doesn't seem to make any sense for a time travel plot.  Or maybe they could put a giant goober suit on him and make him Mojo lol.

Puck?

Or MODOK, in the vein of using effects. If he plays Puck, he'd also better be in the next Wolverine movie, with the rest of Alpha Flight.

I have no good response to that. Good point?

All right, if I heard that correctly, Kirk asked the villain who he was. If it was Gary, wouldn't Kirk already know who he was? I'm back in the Khan theory.

I still read everything, every day. I don't post as much as I used to back in the day mostly because the site is blocked by Websense at work. There's Tapatalk, but it's not ideal on my old phone. Also, I've become more and more of a consumer as I've gotten older. Anecdotal, but there it is.

George R R Martin presents A Game of TRON3.

The problem I see with a WoW movie is that you'll have to spend nearly the entire movie getting people onboard with the fiction (they won't assume that you know anything about it - they'll spoon-feed it to you) and it'll be tough to get into any sort of actual content.  Lord of the Rings, we kinda get it and they still took a month of Sundays to explain a great deal of the lore.

Yup. That's why most epic stories are told in the trilogy format nowadays. As long as they end the first movie with enough world and character development, folks would flock to the next and the next.

I'm still annoyed that they never brought BF1943 to the PC.  

This.  Also, I think the series is due another WWII incarnation.  That would be totally wizard.

Congrats, man. Can't wait to see it!

Ben Whishaw unveiled as the new Q

I haven't heard of him either

The pair said: 'It’s a real thrill to confirm the return of Q in 'Skyfall' played by the enormously talented, Ben Whishaw. We are delighted to have this beloved character back in the series.'

Looking on IMDB,the only thing that really sticks out for me is that he was in Layer Cake which also starred Daniel Craig,but that's fine,as much as i love John Cleese,i am not really sure the role of Q was right for him

I think he was the lead in the BBC show The Hour. Good show about how news came to be on television in the UK in the '50s.

Has no one checked out Gingerdead Man 3 or Thankskillling yet? I'm sure they're awesome.

Thankskilling is the absolute worst movie I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. Its only saving grace is that it's only a little over an hour long. Still, it's an hour I wish I had back.

I realized today that I think I've known you, Ron for almost 10 years. Amazing how time flies. I don't have a gift for you except to say that, whether you know it or not, you have impacted my life in a positive way. I'm a better person having known you. Happy birthday.

Oddly, I have the first 20-odd issues of the original Guardians published in the 90s. I have read a few of the new ones, and they have practically nothing in common, except for an appearance by Starhawk. The original Guardians were like 1000 years in the future, the 2008 versions are in the present. From what I read during the Secret Invasion story line, it could be cool.

Wot?

I got mine last week; I love it.  My next task is to find some awesome games. With the docking station, it's perfect for journal writing. My trip to Scotland in the autumn will consist of some blog entries and photos all done with my Prime. We shall see how it goes. I'll post the blog address later this summer when I get it straightened out, if anyone is interested.

The tablet is the only computer device I'm taking with; since I have Sprint, my ECO won't work in the UK. Smaller than a laptop, I'm just plain excited. This thing is awesome. Fast and responsive.

I can't say for certain how he passed, but I know his dad also passed away early in life as well.  The prevailing theory is that it is something hereditary.

I was going through my gmail box and found a bunch of correspondence regarding setting up our regular Neverwinter Nights 2  cco-op game. I'm not deleting them.

Tapatalk! How does it work??

Am I the only person who liked Earth 2?

The splitter is more likely to cause issues with your modem than image quality on your dvr. However, if you've never had regular connection problems in the past, you will likely be okay. As far as the electronics being in proximity to each other, I would just try to raise or separate the wireless router as much as possible due to emi. The other devices should be unaffected. This is a very basic answer, but as fast as splitter quality goes, I think the "1000 MHz" splitter choice us a good one. My RF knowledge is admittedly limited, but what you want is as much signal with as little noise as possible.

Steampunk Doctor Who:

I tried various times to get jump pack footage, but I have this habit of overshooting my targets badly. Still effective due to the huge stun/knockback radius, but it's pretty goofy for video footage.

I noticed that if I tap the jetpack button he will quickly skim across the ground towards wherever I'm aiming.  It's a quick way to close ground without using a big jump.  Not sure if it will be tactically useful in the full game, but it was a nice surprise when I accidentely did it.

Reminds me a lot of Tribes with the jet pack tricks/exploits you could do.

Get your ass to Mars.

Then go the Hilton and flash the Brubaker I.D. at the desk.

Two weeks.

I have dreams of a lighter (still) heavyweight climbing on Lesnar's back and choking him out ala Cary Elwes to Andre the Giant in The Princess Bride.  Lesnar is a beast, but still kind of a pro-wrestling cocky prick, IMO.  I just don't like him, and I know there are those who agree with me.

There is also a fight between Tito Ortiz and Matt "The Hammer" Hamill.  Matt is deaf, but an amazing fighter despite not being able to hear his coaching.  Einsteinium coined the nickname "Deaf Jedi" for him.  I'm looking forward to that fight as well.

Spoiler for Hiden:

The kid who asked to have his picture taken so the hero could show his mommy...I about cried.  That kid did an amazing job tugging at the 'ole heartstrings.

They've done studies, you know.  60% of the time it works every time.

Seriously, though, I think Einsteinium and I like Reaver Red for the red ale that hasn't been brewed yet.  We checked our stout last night and looks like we'll be bottling Saturday morning!  Still not positive on the name yet...

Wash's Brown Juice.  HepC would be all over it.

I didn't know Wash was infected with HepC...

Daehawk, I would tell you that they change actors, but you wouldn't read it until it was too late.

I was expecting that to be a running gag where they change him every episode.

...and I was expecting them to do that with Deputy Andy, getting blown up and reskinned every episode.

You are aware that your temperature goes up after you eat, right?  Come on man, you know Bear Grylls always says that in a desert situation, eating full meals is bad because your own metabolism speeds heat stroke.

My mother runs with a low temperature (~97) and her doc told her not to call unless her temp went over 100.  Apparently anything from carrying groceries to your car to having a stressful day can raise your body temp a couple of degrees.

I received a text message that Einsteinium is recovering nicely.  He advised that after a night sans painkillers (pre-surgery) it was nice to wake up from the procedure without the exact pain he had going in, only post-op pain.  Here's hoping it subsides quickly.

Spoiler for Hiden:

of course I'd like to see the Authority disavow knowledge of Russell's actions now 

Spoiler for Hiden:

My 2 cents: Now the Authority has no choice but to back Eric and he'll get some vampire firepower (vampirepower?) to back him up.

Any of the SimCity franchise would be inoffensive and engaging...as well as any of the Tycoon games; Railroad Tycoon, Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc.

Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer.   Worst movie ever.  (Though I walked out of the South Park movie, right about the time Uncle F$#%er ended.)

Jesus Chris Vampire HUNTER.  And yes...I've seen it.  It is horrible.

Einsteinium brought that movie to a "bad movie night" with some of our friends; it won hands down.

Tron from inside your computer.   

 

Mind = blown.

If the reliability is there in option #3, then there's no question.  It'll pay for itself before any hardware improvements would have to be made.

Bound to happen when you mess with things like they do.

For me OO=available at work, GT=not.  I'd say, though I'm more of a reader than a poster, I'm fairly active on both.  Which is my actual home?  Nobody knows...
