What made you choose a Haswell processor? Honest question by the way.

I don't know where else to post this, but I just can't describe how satisfying it is to be able to play Gamecube games on a PC with an Xbox controller. Absolutely fantastic.

I can't think of five bands, so I'll just give you five songs from the same band:

Out of curiosity, what level do you have the backlight set to? I have it on the lowest setting. Making it brighter certainly looks cool but I feel like it's piercing my eyeballs.

I caved into my consumerist side and went on a shopping spree: Has anyone ever had any problems adding funds to the eShop? I added my credit card details and attempted a transaction, but the 3DS gave me an error telling me my card couldn't be used. I got a text from the bank telling me Nintendo successfully charged the amount, but my DS still says I have no funds added. The only support I could find online had to do with calling a Nintendo hotline and considering the fact that I'm living in the Middle East I want to keep that as an absolute last resort. Does anyone know if this fund-adding takes a few days to process or something?

Fascinating:

That's because not all athletes behave like European football players. :P

She's just another celebrity we're supposed to love hating because it makes us feel better about ourselves. The only thing I pay attention to when it comes to these things are the memes, because if there's an element about it that makes you laugh, then it's the only angle worth caring about.

Create a playlist of several French House/French Electronica. Daft Punk, Justice, Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, Yuksek, things like that. I can't tell what it is that you'd like from these artists so I suggest you check out some tracks from each one and compile them. Daft Punk's Alive 2007 album is a very safe choice as well. Here's a playlist I recently made with tracks I'd enjoy dancing to. They're not as "heavy" as something you might see from the likes of Daft Punk or Skrillex but if it makes you want to pump iron then it's done its job.

The video is blocked, but I got the gist of it from the trending #Mileyasssmallerthan hashtag:

Like many others have stated I too am going to take this movie with a pinch of salt. Affleck's casting does not change much since I'm already skeptical about how this movie will work in the first place. As for the bitterness everyone else is feeling, maybe this will calm you down: http://moviebob.blogspot.com/2013/08/ben-affleck-is-batman.html?spref=tw

This is from an actual children's book:

My answer lies somewhere between the theist existentialist and absurdist answers:

I'm in Kuwait right now and I bought myself a few packs for about 390 fils each (approximately one Euro). This is what my desk looks like at the moment: The grocerie store also have some bizarre imports, like these energy drinks: Did I mention I tasted blueberries for the first time in my life last week?

You will never understand Then there are the things I consider to be rare imported treats: Monster Energy Drink Strawberry Twizzlers Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Wonka Nerds Cadbury Crunchie Bar

Making you beg means making you jump through derogatory hoops set ablaze for my sadistic entertainment. Nothing is worth that kind of a price, let alone a video game. All I'm asking for is a short paragraph explaining why you deserve a free game. It could be a recent accomplishment, a piece of advice you gave that helped someone a lot, a random act of kindness... Anything you think makes you a good person.

The fact that Dead Space 3 doesn't include a Steam key in the bundle is enough to deter me from buying it at that price. While I'm on the subject of shitty DRM, I have an extra copy of Far Cry 3 on Uplay if anybody is interested. I want to have some fun with it since I'm giving it away, so if you want it, tell me why you deserve it. Really try to sell yourself here--talk to me like you're talking to someone who's never heard of you before.

I agree. In terms of resources I believe we've got more than enough to go around, to the point where we could actually encourage people to have more children. We only have the impression of scarcity because of the way neoliberal economies distribute our resources (this is coming from a socialist perspective). Also, if you're going to try and persuade someone not to have more children, talk to them about how much of a financial headache it would be. "The world's resources" isn't something a parent would find tangible.

Nothing happened. Pressing a number just sends me to that time-code (1 = 1:00 and so on). EDIT: Nevermind, I had to click anywhere outside the video to deselect the flash player. Pausing the video is unnecessary.
