Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! Guess it depends what side of the fence you're on. I'm surprised there are so many people who actually liked it.

Re: The cranky thread Bah. Burned the pizza.

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! I am so totally with you it's not even funny. If Batman's so smart, and so rich, that he can build a freakin' space station without anybody knowing about it, why can't he design himself some real body armor?

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!!

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! Y'know, after reading this thread, it occurs to me that gaming is the only geek cred I have.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore A. a tongue sandwich B. Whatever it is, it's REALLY messy.

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! Or Dresden's player is the GM's ex.

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! Yeah, both of these. 10 pages into the LotR book and I was asleep, 10 minutes into the movie, same result. Never read a Harry Potter book or seen a Harry Potter movie. I've never read a fantasy novel. I like the Star Wars prequels better than the original trilogy. Another vote for 'Never saw the Matrix, never wanted to'. Never saw Dune, never wanted to. Joss Whedon has never written anything I've found remotely interesting. I thought X-Files, Battlestar Galactica (new), and Babylon 5 were junk. Never had any interest in Mythbusters. Probably more to come. Heck, I'll use this thread since I'm not really sure what most people consider 'geeky'.

Re: The cranky thread I'm glad I hadn't gotten around to trying to eat anything yet this morning. One of my cats just dropped a litterbox bomb that literally made me gag and brought tears to my eyes.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Ew. There is no way that tastes good in combination.

Re: And now, for your daily dose of cute... Even kitties make a New Years' Resolution to spend more time on the treadmill.

Re: Why is Speed so unpopular?

Re: Why is Speed so unpopular? Alternately, nearly everything in the system is broken, because almost everything requires regulation.

Re: X Ray-ted Vision Well, War Wolf wouldn't because, well, he's a robot. He's got nothing to show. He might do a centerfold in Popular Mechanics, though. Vixen, utter and complete attention wh**e that she is, would accept in a heartbeat*. Of course, her super-powered form is a furry, so there's not really a lot to see there either, so I doubt she'd be approached. *Vix just turned 18 in-game, and I'm not sure how old you have to be to appear in those kinds of magazines, so it may be moot.

Re: The cranky thread No, you can't go over 40 hours. If it looks like you're going over, you'll have to find someplace to cut the time later (which becomes ANOTHER pain in the butt). She was scheduled 37:15, so going over about 3 and a half means she needs to trim an hour later in the week. But, yeah, between her stories, the stuff I experienced working with people, and various other horror stories ... I almost hate to say it, but I think getting disabled may have been one of the best things that ever happened to me. I cannot deal with people anymore.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Lobster for vegetarians?

Re: Multiple reduced penetrations

Re: Very flashy, acrobatic martial arts styles? Yeah, I was pretty much looking for 'parkour with real punches and kicks added'. I probably would have asked for that in the OP, but I can never remember the word 'parkour'.

Re: The cranky thread Well, I'm in the Midwest. Hastings is a 'small-market' kind of thing ... they don't start stores in big cities where they'd have to compete with, say, Barnes and Noble or the like. And they don't allow overtime. You aren't permitted to go over 40 hours a week.

Knowing very little about Martial Arts as I do, I ask the question here ... What are some very flashy, martial arts styles (preferably non-fictional)?

Re: The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread My wife was supposed to be off work today at 3pm. She normally runs a couple hours late on Monday just 'cause they suck, but I just called her at about six o'clock. She said she probably won't be home for another hour, and that's just getting the bare minimum she HAS to get done, done before she can bring herself to leave. She was crying, it was so bad. She can't get anything done. People won't leave her alone. The person who's supposed to be in her department is spending all day at the service desk. The other floor associates are God-doesn't-even-know-where. On top of everything else, her 'that time of the month' started today. I'm half tempted to not wake her up tomorrow morning and take the car into the clinic and hope she 'calls in' to work, but Tuesday is new release day (she's head of the video department) and that would probably just make it that much worse. I hate that there really isn't anything I can do to help her with this. I hope a good meal and a warm hug will be enough.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Gah. I was trying to imitate a dish my wife likes at one of the local Mexican restaurants. I have gone a little crazy with the experimenting, and I don't think it's actually going to be anything like that now. Hopefully, it will still be good.
