So, I haven't tried it yet...because it isn't released yet, but some people I know recommended this game to me. http://theindiestone.com/lemmy/2011/03/15/a-slightly-less-pathetic-game-announcement-with-screenshots/ They appear to be taking the Notch and Minecraft indie route to publish...

We've all been watching the enormous oil disaster that unfolding off of Louisiana. This thing has a huge variety of repercussions and implications, so here is a list of the things it will affect. It is by no means inclusive. US Energy Policy. A Big Deal was made earlier in Obama's first...

I need Lasik eye surgery to correct my nearsightedness. Any interested Opthamologist please contact me. I am trading one chicken per eye. Thanks. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/04/chickencare_goes_viral.php?ref=fpblg

I pity you Eurohippies and your inclusive welfare states. All that social spending leaves no means for spying on your protected right to free assembly with motherfucking flying robots like we have here in America (fuck yeah!). God, sometimes I want to riot...

I've gotten a bit tired of WoWarcraft, and have heard good things about Eve Online. Anyone here play, and could give their impressions? I'm looking at it from an experienced Warcraft player's perspective, so if you have played both your input would be especially useful. From what I've...

I saw this today and think it's great: http://www.slate.com/id/2146230/nav/tap1 Basically an interactive map that explains the relationships between Hezbollah, Isreal, Lebanon and Al-Qaida in a fairly easy-to-use format. I have learned much, grasshopper; perhaps you can too.

http://www.galciv2.com/ I'm loooking forward to it. Perhaps it will be a spiritual successor to MOO2. Plus the independent nature of its production leaves me hopeful. Check it out.

So, Americans can be divided mostly into 9 segments based on their political, cultural social views, etc. The Pew Center has put together a test to show you where you fit in. This is related to the test Sander put up awhile ago (and who's link I've lost) that identifies your general leanings...

Finally, vindication with a public, unspinnable, indictment on the Bush Administration and it's purely partisan, politically motivated fringe neoconservative, puritanical and egregiously distorting style. Hows that for color! Fitzgerald's indictment text of Scooter Libby Libby's...

Greasemonkey is the shit: First, download the userscripts extension. Then using the directions on the second link. you can modify favorite websites in many ways, such as eliminating the banners and crap from pages. I'm looking for someone to make an NMA mod myself... :twisted:

Conservatives win election in Poland No more graffiti for Wooz? More Polish jokes, again about political backwardness, for the rest of us? I also find it ironic that many of the American "coalition of the willing" that went to Iraq have had governmental changes in a reactionary vein...

To every complaining about the price of gas now in the US: Fun article on gas gouging. The problem with gouging and figuring out whether it's occuring is that people cannot relate the price of crude to the price of gas unless its going up; would you keep track of the relationship of the...

So, I've been thinking of buying myself a 21" TFT monitor. I like the idea of having it sit on the back of my desk leaving space in front of the screen for my beer and various gaming items, especially maps for WoW. I can then also crank up the resolution more and see around corners better when...

Bush flipping off reporters, as told by Jay Leno God I just love being an American right now. I'll take a president who likes getting his knob polished over this tool any day. I wonder what Australia's like right now?

This game is insidious. It doesn't even have the decency to be completely addictive due to the rest feature: rewarding you for having a life? How ridiculously brilliant! My 22 Warlock is just beginning to kick ass and take names, providing just eough incentive to spend my evenings getting...

Not really, but it got your attention. Article on gay marriage and domestic violence Basically the wording of domestic violence laws (making hitting your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband punishable as a distinct felony) unteneble unless you're married. The new laws banning gay marriage...

Daily I read many information sources, such as MyDD, a blog. The following is a particularly poignant post: Do people think Iraq is getting better or worse, and was it worth it? IMO no. Link to MyDD

Article on Black Sea flooding 7500 years ago Does anyone else think that the bottom of the Black Sea could also be where Atlantis is? I mean, Atlantis supposedly sank into the sea after a cataclysm, perhaps the sea came to it instead?

Its election time here in the US, and everyone at home and abroad seems to have a strong opinion about who they want for president. I am curious to see who NMAers would vote for, and more importantly why or why not? Also, if can vote and are not, why? Note that the why part is very important...

Three important cases are currently being debated by the US Supreme Court regarding the scope and power of the Executive Branch. I thought people here may be interested in those cases and the implications thereof. First is the case called Hamdi, which deals with the detainment of an American...
