winter's hard. have some fat cakes. now discuss: do you do them sweet and sickly (with maple syrup, baking them thick USA style), or do you do them hearty with cheese and ham Swiss style? what's your status, i mean, what pancake would you make now? love the philosophical video about the pancake thing here ^

Was just thinking how out of all the conspiracy theories I've heard - chemtrails, lizard people, UFO cover-ups, etc, the tinfoil hat wearers never seem up in arms about the internet itself. I mean the internet has radically changed human-to-human interaction, and is arguably as much an "opiate of the masses" as TV, yet I don't hear theories about how the internet was created as a sinister form of mind control, and the govt is watching everything you type. In fact folks like ET seem content to repeatedly spew their theories without much paranoia that the feds will knock down their door and cart them off to a FEMA camp...what gives?

Global Game Jam! I'm surprised no one's made a topic for this yet. Is anyone else participating? Here's a little bit of the score I'm writing for our game: Here's the finished soundtrack.

i think somebody needs to do something about ranking systems in games like Modern Warfare and Battlefield. Ranking should be related to performance, not overall score measures. Why are we so fucking egalitarian in video games? in the battlefield series specifically you could bring back the commander function which could only be occupied by very high-ranking (highly performing players). Lots of other cool things you could do with this kind of thing. anyways, I know this is a lame topic but lately I am lame.

What I thought was a close friend of mine stole almost $2,000 from me This is a lot to me in my current financial situation There is no legal action I can take against him in this specific case and zero possibility of ever getting it back from him I can: a) Get over it and leave him alone b) Send an anonymous police report concerning his numerous highly illegal activities as revenge, but this carries a risk of him getting more revenge back at me. ?

I know the Main Stream Media does not report on some things. I know this because I have seen things myself and then checked the news and no coverage. I also know this because I have watched stuff happen on livestream/ustream that have not been reported either. At first i thought it was perhaps not news worthy but then I realize they are talking about some quip that romney made as a top story and realize the news is not news worthy. the last thing that made me wonder this was the occupycongress story. yeah the numbers weren't great but how is that not a story worthy of front page news? So my real question is: How does this happen? Advertiser/Owner control? Has ther…

The mysterious user 2062 posted link to a great radio/web interview a few days back in the rather convoluted Autechre / Hafler Trio thread. I'm reposting it here as it contains some pretty inspirational ideas in it (and has got rather lost at the bottom of the topic !), not just about music but about all kinds of creative forms and how choices & technology can both help and hinder ideas. Other topics include creative thinking (and how cheese can inspire new functions to cameras !), how social networking affects the real and perceived distance we have between one another, Latvians vs Estonians, the purchasing of trousers and its links to downloading music, and our …

Rep. John Ragan recently sponsored a “license to bully” bill that protects thugs who want to verbally harass LGBT people based on “religious and moral grounds.” And if Ragan’s license to bully bill isn’t outrageous enough, consider if you will, that just one day after 14-year-old Philip Parker, a gay teen in Tennessee, committed suicide, Rep. Ragan had the unmitigated gall to publicly declare that gay people are “not mentally healthy adult human beings.” A middle school lesbian student in Tennessee, Kristin M. Johnson, wrote a respectful, reasonable letter to Ragan to object to his license to bully bill. In response, Ragan replied that homosexuality is just another ba…

who doesn't love puppies? or any dog for that matter! lets discuss dogs and puppies, and how they make the best pets and companions. how many dogs have you owned? what is your favorite breed? what kind of toys do you like to buy for your pups? lastly, what activities do you enjoy doing with your dog(s)? here's my new baby boy, an Australian Cattle Dog (aka blue heeler). he's almost 8 weeks old, and i drive to pick him up in a few days and begin his training. Blue heelers are without a doubt one of my favorite breeds, probably only matched by Welsh corgis. I've come to realize it's the traits inherent to herding breeds that I seek in the dogs that I o…

A PS3 game I've enjoyed for some time now, PixelJunk: Eden, is coming to Steam - the PixelJunk series on PS3 has always been hit after hit, delivering challenging gameplay and innovative design. Now, one of their best (PixelJunk: Eden) is coming to Valve's Steam network. It will be the "Encore" version of Eden, which means it includes all the gardens from the main game as well as the expansion pack. The awesome soundtrack (Autechre fans might be interested in it's minimalist beats) will also be available. There will be an "early bird" 20% discount, so if you don't have a PS3, this is a great way to experience what all the PixelJunk love on PS3 is about! http:/…

Hey, hope you can help me. I'm about to buy a shirt with a custom design. I already have the obligatory Aphex logo shirt, and I think it's time to get a new one. The color of my shirt is kinda like http://www.colorcomb...FFFCC-hex-color (a bit darker) I was thinking that the cover of Autechre's Draft 7.30 could look good, or, putting in a simple way, the BoC logo... Please, I need some other designs to consider, since I really don't see album art and that stuff, I'm really not sure of what to do... Thx.

I just found out that WII and GameCube can be emulated perfectly well on OSX and current PC systems. I just got Zelda Wind Walker running at some awesome frame rate. Twilight Princess runs too but I was not able to setup the controls yet. So my question is what games are worth getting for these systems and did you get a WIIRemote emulation running or do I need to buy a WIIRemote now and run it via USB? What games are worth it on WII, GameCube and PS2? I only have a blurry idea what has been released on these plattforms Here is Zelda Wind Waker running on OSX:

I'm at the hairdresser right now and the atmosphere was so inspiring I was thinking of the following; imagine the world is at an end (it's 2012 after al). There is no electricity, which logically would mean no watmm. Besides all this, everything is falling apart. It really is the end. Are you able to bring something to the rebuilding society you are being part of? Are there any skills that could contribute to the stabilzation of the world? If not, you're probably going to die, since it's going to be about the law of the strongest (this is besides the point). What would your role be in this hypothetical situation? What would your dream function be?

Probably not worth a thread but i have to tell this, I had a tab open on facebook and then I noticed it refreshed itself, so I look at it and I'm still on the main page but logged as someone else (forgot the name but it started with hypez), I could see a list of friends that I don't know as well as a different timeline, thinking it was some kind of ad trickery i hit back and then forward but it took my to the usual page logged in as me. Anyone have any idea what the hell happened? wish i took a screenshot.

This thread is just for the US version as there would be a lot of spoilers with people talking about the farther along UK version. (If you think the UK version is truly better I wouldn't mind reading your spoiler free opinion though) My buddy made me watch it last night & I'm hooked. It's a very interesting, raw, quality genre combo platter of a show. Reminds me of how how Louie was filmed so well & would transition from drama to comedy so surprisingly smooth but Shameless is definitely a more so dynamic un-definable show. I look forward to a few more seasons of this.
