How bad is the fan noise in these things? Besides emulation, I'm also interested in using an Ouya as a low-end HTPC & for torrenting. I got kind of turned-off when I saw the fan inside though.

Is that mod available through the game (like through Arcade) or do I have to look on the interwebs for it?

Finally finished BioShock Infinite. When I first started the game I was like, "Damn you Daniel for not giving this a 5/5!" But then later the actual combat/gameplay started to get boring and I ended up agreeing completely with his score & review. I think the shooter genre is just too stale...

I wasn't able to celebrate this year due to a new job and other obligations/constraints. I'll just have to revel twice as hard next year. Already got my eye on buying a new LSV though and there's a new local dispensary I haven't tried that is supposed to be Bay Area quality.....

I've seen every episode of the latest run and some from the '70s. They're all hit or miss (mostly miss). There's not a lot of sci-fi shows on TV these days, so I take what I can get. I really like the actor that they have currently portraying The Doctor, but the stories & dialogue lately have...

At least this is all old-school style bullshit that we're actually great at handling, not terrorist/guerilla stuff. The only part that really bothers me is that I don't see a way out for the North Korean people. In places like Iran & China I can see how the people will one day rise up (again)...

I finished it recently, and this game probably wins my "What Could Have Been...." prize for this generation. There were some great aspects & moments that could have been the foundation for a landmark game. I apparently didn't find it as difficult as you guys though, except for the big fight at...

Co-op games where no one has to be the GM/DM are a lot of fun. They're usually pretty difficult too. My friends and I finally beat the Space Hulk: Death Angel card game. It's based on the WH40K Space Hulk board game, but costs like 1/20 as much. You can even play solo, and all of our many...

That whole town smells like garlic. Every time you go by there on Hwy 101 you know when you're getting close to Gilroy because of the smell. I love garlic more than most people, but I think it would kind of suck to live there.

Yeah, the finale was totally anti-climactic. There were some great episodes this season, but it wasn't one of them. Still far, far better than everything on the broadcast networks though.

A lot of Marijuana, Renaissance, and Harvest festivals go on in this area. I've yet to go to any, even though they all hold my interests. I guess I just wish they'd combine them into some sort of super Medieval/Stoner/Food hybrid festival. I'd definitely be in for that.

Gaming (and gaming journalism) have just gone mainstream. It's now just as jaded, cynical, and hateful as anything else in our society.

Get a soft bristle brush to help tame the beard & the itch. Try to get one with a black guy on the label.

Ah, well if the need to activate your game early ever arises again you might want to check out a new free VPN project started by a Japanese university http://www.vpngate.net/en/join.aspx . I haven't used it yet, but it looks like they have servers in just about every time zone & country. If...

Yes, I have set up VPNs. What are you using the VPN for? *Lifts his eye-patch up with his hooked hand to wink*

Plenty of Targaryens died from fire in the past, Daenyrys is just one of the special/magical ones who is immune. (Book 5 spoilers) It probably has something to do with that Valerian horn that can supposedly control dragons but fills the user's lungs with fire.

Yeah, that's the prominent theory and one that I share. The only person left alive that knows the truth is Howland Reed and he hasn't even appeared in the books yet. The only other way I think they could possibly find out the truth about (Book 5 spoilers) Jon's parentage is maybe something...

The part about her baby is also left ambiguous too. She isn't exactly human (the Targaryens have purple eyes in the books) and she's immune to heat/fire so I guess it might have something to do with that.

That part is almost identical in the book and the show. It's left pretty ambiguous in both whether or not there was something really supernatural involved but it leans toward the magi just using parlor tricks. In the book Jorah later comments that he heard strange noises and saw shadows from...

I've read all of the books and I actually prefer most, but not all, of the changes they've made for the show so far. Apparently we might also be getting an HBO adaptation of the "Tales of Dunk & Egg" novellas too. At any rate, the show puts pressure on GRRM to finish the last 2 books in the...
