  1. More Garfield-esque antics from your favorite videogame console!

    And by Garfield-esque, I mean we're recycling the same old handful of ideas pretty-much all the time. But hey, it works for Jim Davis. ;) 

  2. My Community Reputation just hit 10,000. It sounded impressive until I realized it would be a pretty lousy score in just about any video game I like playing.

      If the game was Space Invaders, you’d be a legend in your local arcade.

      It would also be an impressive score in the google Dinosaur game.

      If you were playing pinball,...It'd be like you hadn't even hit the plunger yet hahaa!

  3. My dream job is to be the guy at Apple who goes through the OS, finds any remaining useful features, and tells the programmers to get rid of them. Because clearly someone is doing that, and is probably getting paid really well.

      Or the guy that takes something useful, stable and familiar and completely reworks it into something worse, uglier, clunkier, less stable and just plain different.

  4. My Impreza just turned 20 years old. For its birthday, I got it Smog Checked. Much cheaper than the head gasket I bought it last year.

      Oh,  OK I see it there on the piano!  Good Job!  I thought sure it was gonna be Spatula City,  but at least there is a Weird Al connection...Cute girl too.

  5. Oh Garfield... you're so wacky with your hatred of Mondays, eating lasagna and snarky commentary on Atari and the retrogaming scene.

     

    Wait... that's not Garfield. Must be a new Artie the Atari strip.

  6. Only one more day until the new Champ Games 2600 homebrew is revealed!

    Bring the kids – fun for the entire family!

      Yay!  I will ACTUALLY tell my kids too.  There will be excitement.  (I'm lucky they are into this sort of thing, -we've logged a lot of hours behind Ladybug.)

      Are you confirming Jason Momoa for SF3?  

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      If Jason Momoa can't inspire an idea for SF3, then who can?

  7. Presently somewhere between fan art and plagiarism.

      Are we talking about my Battlestar Galactica erotic fan fiction?   I can't help it if it's based on a true story ?

    2. Omegamatrix

      Omegamatrix

      Can't these live happily together, i.e. from fan art and plagiarism to you're a fan of "art plagiarism"?

  8. R.I.P. Chick Corea... ? ?

      While I can't remember a specific song he did, his name came up a lot on the jazz station I listened to growing up.   Sorry to hear this.

  9. R.I.P. David Warner (Time Bandits, Tron, various Star Treks, and many, many more).

  10. R.I.P. Johnny Nash ("I Can See Clearly Now") ?

  11. Really loved the WandaVision premiere episodes! Only two episodes in, and it already looks completely bonkers.

      @CPUWIZ No worries - I only do "Spoiler-free". Any spoiler replies to this will be deleted.

      I watched it... and it did not exactly set my world on fire.  They had better step it up in the next episode or two.

      In the last episode you find out it was all a Peyote vision that Wanda Sykes was having.

  12. Rebuilding a failed RAID 5 drive to a spare drive. Second one in two weeks on the same array... looks like they're starting to hit the end of their usable lives.

      Make sure your RAID enclosure's ventilation is working the way that it should.  The last time I had two drives go bad in one array, the (likely) culprit turned out to be a dead fan.

      No temp or fan issues.

      I'm waiting for that to start happening with my RAIDs, as I bought all of the drives at the same time.  I do have one RAID backup to another near identical unit, though, and then they are also backed up to external drives.. 

  13. reCAPTCHA: protecting humanity from the robot apocalypse, one crosswalk at a time.

  14. Shameless self-promotional clickbait:

    But hey - you get to read a free comic strip!

  15. So glad that "The Curse of Oak Island" managed to put together a new season this year. I'm hopelessly addicted to that show. (Overly-dramatic narrator: "A rock? With a scratch in it? Could this be the proof that time-traveling space aliens buried a secret treasure in the Money Pit three-thousand years ago?")

      Oh,  and then change the name of the show for its final episode to The BLESSING of Oak Island.

      I'm on board with Cobra Kai-I really like the show, and the idea of it(my last name is Blair[likely no relation], and I am a lifelong Geek, I've been "into" the OI thing for a long time, but I imagine IF they do find anything, it will be so signifigant as to not be able to be kept secret until it was unveiled on a TV show, unfortunately.

      I remember reading about that place in the 80's as a kid - at least it sounds like the same place.  A hole that they kept finding multiple floor levels as they dug deeper.  No way to know if it was the same story now, but it sounds so familiar.

  16. So, just how many roads must a man walk down? Please quantify the answer in the form of an integer and show your work.

  17. Somebody say, "Keep on rockin'"...

      I usually say "rock on" as I leave, is that good enough?

      I'm not sure. Rick Derringer seemed pretty specific.

      Rick Derringer and his bandmates from Edgar Winter Group all seemed like they got along really well.  Edgar especially seems like a really likeable guy.
