  1. Costco is selling flu shots now. Unfortunately, you can only get one if you buy a dozen colonoscopy exams.

      sounds like a typical saturday night with the guys.

  2. One more shot. Then the answer is either 'yes', 'no', or 'stop bugging me', in which case, the answer is probably also 'no'.

  3. Memo to self: Try not to feel guilty about Nintendo's financial problems for not ever having bought any of their consoles. Especially the stupid ones.

      Just saw that news; not good. Still, N is in very good financial shape overall. The Wii U is a nice console for first party N software, but they did a terrible job naming and marketing it, and their online service and third party friendliness probably need to change in a hurry.

  4. Google bought Nest. Now they can use my own thermostat against me. This feels a bit like Colossus: The Forbin Project.

      Why is it so hot in here?

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      I feel bad for all of the people who bought Nest carbon monoxide detectors. "iOS device detected on local Wi-Fi network… maybe I won't mention the leaky furnace exhaust."

  5. Just wondering. No… that's not it. What's the other one where you're aimlessly walking around and bumping into things?

      I believe such a condition is known both formally and informally only as "wandering".

  6. Sitting in the waiting room while my car gets smog-tested just outside. Carbon monoxide-a-licious!

      It's not silly, it's a great idea to reduce our carbon footprint. Now if we only force everyone to have f-ing insurance....

      Is it a non-smoking waiting room?

    4. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      Nobody was smoking in it. But with the exhaust from the cars pointing right into the doorway, it'd be hard to tell.

  7. Hey, you… no, not you, you. No, the other one. Yeah. You. Get off of my cloud.

      But the cloud is a place for everyone to lose their data and privacy, not just you.

      Crap, my internet's down. Anyone have the street address for the cloud?

  8. Panic is an excellent motivational tool.

  9. Merry Christmas! We're putting a little Stay Frosty 2 into everyone's stockings: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/220074-stay-frosty-2-demo-released/

  10. Santa: "Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight." Rudolph: "Pull it yourself, lard-butt! Where were you when I was being emotionally traumatized by all of the other reindeer?"

      Heh ... and what about all the other reindeer, who suddenly "love" Rudolph? I would have added another verse in which Rudolph tells them all to **** themselves.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      They all bullied him...the other reindeer (including his father), Santa, even the reindeer coach guy. Unleash "The Bumble" on their @$$#$!

       

  11. I didn't think I was old enough to have accumulated this much junk yet.

  12. A little gameplay from Stay Frosty 2.

  13. Yes, there is. But no, you can't.

      Yes, I can. But no, I won't.

  15. How about a CIB lump of coal instead? (But without the box.)

      CIB = covered in black. lol especially after handling the coal

  16. Great. Now I have 50 years of Doctor Who episodes to catch up on.

      Did you fall asleep at the company picnic?

      I just never watched the show. But then I started watching the 50th anniversary retrospectives, a couple of episodes here and there, and the 50th anniversary show, and so now I'm hooked. Fortunately I do have Netflix, so I can start chipping away at them.

  17. I think all online polls should be required to include "Whatever - I couldn't possibly care less" as one of the responses.

    1. moycon

      moycon

      But if you went in and chose that response, it ment you cared enough to participate meaning you could care less!, simply by ignoring to poll to begin with!

       

  18. The big question right now - can snowmen and fireballs live together in Harmony?

  19. They're making a movie based on Gran Turismo? So let me guess, it'll be an agonizingly slow grind to watch, there won't be any crashes, but it will feature 10,000 different cars and look absolutely incredible.

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      Now they need to pull a Street Fighter and make a game based on the movie based on the game.

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      Correction - that should have read: 1,000 different cars, and 9,000 variants on the Nissan Skyline.

  20. A note to the Entitlement Generation: when people refer to you that way, it's intended as an insult. Not an affirmation of your self-delusional feelings of being entitled.

    1. atarian63
    2. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      If your parents are rich, being entitled is a synonym for bulletproof. You can get away with whatever your parents can wash away with money. Lame insults can't hurt you, but if an insult ever hits home, you can secretly have the person killed, so no big deal.

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      Yes. Politicians' kids seem especially prone to "Don't You Know Who I Am?!" syndrome.

  21. Welcome to my life, progressive lenses. I'm now officially old.

      Yup, me too. I used to be able to read the tiny printing on SMD parts. Now I have to hold things almost 2 feet from my face to focus.

  22. U-Verse lives to see another day, by adding BBC America in HD. Finally.

      Top Gear, actually. They've been running some Dr. Who retrospectives though, so maybe I'll watch those.
