A short while ago I asked for assistance on Civ 4.

Many of you gave your input but a few people I was hoping to hear from were sadly absent. So when the request came to repost, I said I'd gladly oblige, I mean...why wouldn't I ( Read more... )

On Saturday dr_r0ck and I went to the same Wizard World Convention that madolan was at.

Nope, we didn't get to say hi. I mainly went to score some Scud comics, but ended up with more crap than I thought humanly possible. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, or I could have gotten a picture with phearinc's idol Pickachu.

( Here is the rundown of my excellent score this weekend (dial-up users be warned there are about 10 pictures behind this cut). )

ITEM!Let it be known that I'm in the market for a keyboard. So any recommendations would be useful. However as it is I'm salivating over the Optimus keyboard. Imagine a keyboard that that had OLED displays on each key. So at the push of a button you could switch from one language's alphabet to another. You probably don't have much of a need for ( Read more... )

I fucking love Shatner.

Anyone who can mock his own persona so effectively has got to get some props. Have an independent film that could really use a Trek Alum, he'll do it. Want him back for the sequel? No problem. He'll guest star on your Alien themed TV show in a heartbeat. All in the name of a paycheck he's willing to go where no man has ( Read more... )

I totally want this mouse...DADDY! It's actually doable since it's $40 not $70 like the review says...a bit pricey, sure, but it's sweet. I even kinda like the placement of the scroll wheel (I've always felt mice underused the thumb). Now I need to figure out where the left click is and whether or not it has the side click buttons like the MS Mouse ( Read more... )

New Sandals?

I was almost going to file this under the "who's the marketing genius behind that combination", but I just couldn't. It's far too perfect for a couple of you.

So anyway, this one is pretty much completely for assfingers and dr_r0ck. Not only are they the only two people I know who wear sandals enough to be interested, but they also the two biggest ( Read more... )

Dear Lego,

I trust you received my prior correspondence. I would like to take a moment to apologize and note that I was in error. What I neglected to realize previously about the instruction booklet is this: the pages of the book are really one big piece of paper stapled in the middle and folded in half. Therefore by not including pages 3-10 I ( Read more... )

Dear Lego,

It is not better to print pages 11-18 and 51-58 of the Cloud City (Item #: 10123) instruction manual twice than it is to print them once AND actually give me pages 3-10. Even though I got more total pages overall and the numbers are higher (and, therefore, superior), I'd still rather collect them all. Even as much as I LOVE ( Read more... )
