General Discussion / Re: Hey Kitsu: The Mad Science of National Debt

it becomes the focus around the midpoint, but the article does assume you know about basic idea behind Quantitative Easing. It's an interesting discussion, since one of my old professors thought Bernanke was a genius who saved the country. I granted him that, but added that I thought he was more like a kid playing with fire.

Investigative Role Play / Re: Case: Turnabout Curtain Call

"Th-that's a threat! You can't threaten me!" Cue protested.

"I didn't hear anything," Snake said.

"'Can't' is a matter of perspective... or something."

As usual, the inferred tension flies straight over Zoran's head. "I believe 'can't' means a lack of ability, in the pony tongue. Doctor Sprocket proved quite able and then-some."

"Anyway, I guess the client made the same assumption that Mr. Zebra did," Cue reasoned. "Explained the job to Billing thinking he was in charge. He didn't have the stomach for it, so he wanted to jump ship. Well I... couldn't let that happen."

"Congratulations, you won the 'Understatement of the Evening Award'."

"An attempted murder risking all you had is quite extreme for one convinced he is doing no bad." Zoran grows a small frown, "Your moral compass seems calibrated wrong, perhaps a desert is where you belong."

Zoran pokes at the floor with his hoof. Seemingly considering the logistics and moral implications of excommunicating a pony to the desert.

I'm spending to much time playing 90's games... which reminds me I should do the next System Shock 2 stream soon. I have to clean out the Crew Quarter's and make it through Maintenance before shit gets real.

at my old forum, special titles were the prize for winning a forum contest. I had gotten mine for winning the cooking contest, where you present a recipe a long with photos of yourself making it. I made Chocolate Stout marinated sirloin.

If nothing else, you should change Fuzzy's title to The Snuzzler

the PS3 was such a weak link in the last generation it may be years before the PS4 is able to establish dominance with good exclusive titles.

Sony's exclusive developers really have made a career out of kicking their fanbases in the dick.

A well of inspiring insight as always mate...

There's not to much to say about Oklahoma. It's there, as much as everyone and the people who live there wish it wasn't. I think we just needed a place to store uneducated white people.

Pretty hard to say without an inside track to show payroll expense along with how much went to pay off investors.

I imagine you won't be able to from a different console. I think most console accounts are still heavily tied to the hardware. If it has a detatchable hard drive like the 360, you could probly plug that into someone elses One. I haven't been watching the console releases close enough to know. I do know that the fight to limit how and where you can use the game liscenses you purchase is well in mind with the design of the next generation.

     This distribution model for gameplay is the act same as Steam. You don't get to own games anymore, only a liscense to play them. PC games have been this way for a long time. I guess it's just more transparent, and therefore more rage inducing, when the business model is ported to the console market. I've also been a PC gamer since the day's of Daggerfall and passing ripped copies of GTA (the first one) around class in grade school, so what happens to the console world doesn't mean much to me

    As far as I know, Xbox has never been backwards compatable. Either way, I grew up with N64 and Dreamcast. The only time Playstation was ever able to come close to the strange charm Sega had was when they published games like Mr. Mosquito. Now a days I spend most my time just being frustrated as multiplatform titles show how obviously they were engineered for consoles through their lack of complexity and limited function.

I don't want to have more/less post counts. I like the thin line I walk between friend and stranger.
