Zeitgeist was boring and already was inaccurate within first few minutes (I've watched a few minutes back when anon linked to it). Bender's Big Score was good. Not 10/10 good, but good. But I think that 20 minutes length is more appropriate. |

I don't remember. Something about religion. Nothing serious, something like that the "christian" cross originates in pagan X while it originated in pagan Y, but it was enough to lose that pixel of interest I've had. Like Microsoft would tell you: Get the fuckds. |

that's the point. nothing in religion is accurate. the only thing accurate about religion is that it is bullshit. Joker, Ph.D. Procedural Assholian Behaviour, Pedophilosopher

So I bought myself a new ipod today. Hooray! No more waiting 10 seconds to play a song while the harddrive grinds and grinds. |
|
I found Bender's Big Score was kinda worthless*. Beerfest was funnier and more rewarding, but all in all it's not been a day full of earthshattering movie-experiences. * But I'm glad Futurama is back. I just didn't get a lot out of this one, it felt very uncoordinated and too fast-paced for its own good. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

Best Christmas Songs: "White Christmas", The Drifters. I love this when it comes on the radio because my voice matches up pretty well with the deep voice guy who sings the first verse. "White Christmas", Bing Crosby. Same song, even better. "Merry Fucking Christmas", Mr. Garrison. Just plain fun. "Christmas Cookies", George Strait. I don't like much country music, but I love this one. "Santa Baby", Sheila E. The best version of a great song. "Baby, it's Cold Outside". Doesn't matter who it's sung by. "Blue Christmas", Elvis Presley. Great song with sad memories from Christmas I spent away from the girl I loved. Worst Christmas song: "Jingle Bells", Barbara Streisand. Man, I hate this one, it represents everything that is horrible about Barbara Streisand. One tempo, please. Bleh. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

Bender's Big Score would have been better served as a series of four separate episodes (or chopped down a bit to remove the chaff). There were a few laugh out loud moments (chicken, grease, and salt), but the rest was really uneven. Still good, but not quite the same quality as the series. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

The best thing about Futurama is Bender´s voice. The voice acting for that character is better than most of the show´s jokes. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

"Baby, it's Cold Outside". Doesn't matter who it's sung by. Really? How about Tom Jones and Catatonia? #10 - Why not both come out of a window?

I agree with Jibble. I really didn't get what was supposed to be "too fast-paced" - in fact, it seemed too slow for me. Series seemed more packed with jokes and action; but maybe I just couldn't wait till they kicked the alien butts, which took them hell long to do. |

Best Christmas songs: Father Christmas: There's the original by the Kinks of course, but it's a song that manages to sound good most of the time when it's covered as well. Anything from "James Brown's Funky Christmas" album. Jimi Hendrix doing an instrumental Little Drummer Boy/Silent Night/Auld Lang Syne medley. "Bioshock, sadly, is no Painkiller." - BobJustBob

#119 by assemblerer I agree with Jibble. Hooray we're all in agree- I really didn't get what was supposed to be "too fast-paced" Oh. in fact, it seemed too slow for me. Series seemed more packed with jokes and action; but maybe I just couldn't wait till they kicked the alien butts, which took them hell long to do. Well, okay, that's a good point, I also thought the jokes and action came more easily in the series. So from that perspective, yeah, the movie was too slow. I could use several paragraphs to explain what I meant with too fast-paced, but safe to say it sounds like we're all in agreement, so who really cares. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

Jimi Hendrix doing an instrumental Little Drummer Boy/Silent Night/Auld Lang Syne medley. I've never* heard noise as bad as that. Unless you linked it to show how horrible Christmas tunes can be mangled I think it safe to say there's a musical divide between us :). * Slight hyperbole (and truthfully the sound gets more manageable towards the end) "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

What I find sad about christmas is something I read in a british newspaper; that like 80% of british businesses don´t do/allow christmas decorations and/or parties, so to not offend "ethnic minorities", so to speak, muslims. Come on man, what the fuck? And yesterday, I went to a very traditional christmas market here where I live, which is supposed to be about christmas, a.k.a. Christian Celebration. Why the fuck where there FOUR Doner Kebap huts there? Isn´t it enough that in every damned street here there are Kebap houses, now I also have to eat Doners for christmas, instead of candy and all the other traditional stuff? I mean, respect for other cultures is fine with me, but hey, keep your Doners away from my christmas tree! (Rhimes) GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

My PC has been acting really sluggish, and I bought Crysis which after installing wouldn't even run. The screen would go black and then it would pop back to the desktop with no explanation. So I decided to format and reload windows, but I get the same thing. It goes black then drops the the desktop, no warning or error. So I load up Steam and Peggle, and when I go into Peggle it will load and play, but when I try to enable hardware acceleration, it says my computer doesn't support hardware acceleration. I tried Fate assuming it has pretty weak graphics needs, and it crashes before I even get to the first screen. WTF? I was playing Call of Duty 4 on this computer three weeks ago. It's obviously a hardware deal, but I can't find anything wrong with my Radeon 1600, it has the latest drivers and everything seems to be working fine. Any ideas? |

#123 by FoRmaT What I find sad about christmas is something I read in a british newspaper; that like 80% of british businesses don´t do/allow christmas decorations and/or parties, so to not offend "ethnic minorities", so to speak, muslims. That's complete bollocks. And yesterday, I went to a very traditional christmas market here where I live, which is supposed to be about christmas, a.k.a. Christian Celebration. Why the fuck where there FOUR Doner Kebap huts there? Isn´t it enough that in every damned street here there are Kebap houses, now I also have to eat Doners for christmas, instead of candy and all the other traditional stuff? What? Why not have doner kebabs? They're tasty and people want to eat them. Supply and demand and all that. And Christmas is pretty fucking far from being only a Christian celebration, so maybe you shouldn't be so absurdly territorial. - words and stuff -

Format is a racist scum and Christmas is a scam. Big whoop. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?

Just finished Stardust, I got plenty out of it. Sort of a touchyfeely Christmassy goodness movie. Irrelevantly sweet, but in a good way. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

You sure you didn't mean 'irreverently'? #10 - Why not both come out of a window?

I sure am sir, but good of you to ask. I argue it's irrelevant since nothing really happens, it's just a classic old-school fairytale that hits all the cliché notes. And yet despite that I still found it sweet. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

Marsh Davies, I took the newspaper article as being real. I don´t normally read british newspapers, so I don´t know how good/bas it is. It was called The Sun or News of the Week, I believe. Don´t know if those newspaper is known for making stuff up. I also eat Doner kebaps and think they are very nice. Supply and demand, I understand it too; there are like five billion Turks over here, so naturally a lot of the stuff gets eaten. Doners are the number one fast food in Germany, in hugely larger numbers than hamburgers or chicken or whatever. In Holland, I remember there were loads and loads of chinese restaurants. All fine with me. Why is Christmas far from being Christian? I don´t get it. I´m NOT absurdly territorial. I´ve been living outside my own country for twenty years, so I know what it feels like to be a Gringo and all. But I still insist, Christmas is Christian and I don´t want four Doner huts at a Christmas market. I really think they are out of place there. I don´t imagine four Hamburger or sausage stands at a celebration whatever their counterpiece to Christmas is. You´d probably be stabbed for trying to sell that there or whatever... Ok, the last sentence was probably trolling, but I do think that could happen. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

I realise one could believe I am a racist. I´m really not. As I said, I´ve lived outside my country for a long time, have friends from many different countries. But seing four Doner huts at a traditional Christmas market really surprised me. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

Why is Christmas far from being Christian? What I said was: "Christmas is pretty fucking far from being only a Christian celebration." Lots of people celebrate Christmas irrespective of belief or ethnicity. It's a national holiday for one thing. It's also a massive commercial event. Christmas is no more Christian than Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas. It's also based on a pre-Christian festival. To say that its meaning is and should remain exclusively Christian is really dumb. I don´t imagine four Hamburger or sausage stands at a celebration whatever their counterpiece to Christmas is. I don't know who you are referring to, although their Otherness is clearly terrifying. - words and stuff -
|
|
Why am I not surprised by a German flipping out at Turkish food vendors...? (FWIW, I don't think you're actually racist, but the stereotype fits just so damn well.) #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|

Marsh, I always believed Christmas is purely Christian. My father was married to a Thai lady, she certainly did not celebrate Christmas, no did our Chinese neighbours back in Spain. Sorry, with "they" I reffered to Muslims, as those are the people I associate with eating Doner Kebap. I did not imply that their celebrations were terrifying, but I did imply that you could not take acceptance of a hamburger or sausage vendor at one of their celebrations for granted, but at the same as a good Christian you have to just say the presence of four Doner huts at a Christmas market is cool, screw traditional products. Next year, instead of nice handmade wooden toys we will be selling leather jackets and instead of roasted almonds we´ll be selling sushi. I´m really sorry about my narrow-mindedness, but I think behind my harsh wording I do have a (even if it may be small) point. There´s time for Doners and there´s time for Christmas sweets.

anager, for crying out loud I am not a racist. Damn, I´ve lived outside my country for twenty years, I am married to a south american, I have arab friends, you know? All I´m saying is: Christmas market = Traditional celebration. Please. I´m not saying" Hey screw jews and arabs and hindi and whatever, get out of here!" I just want a traditional event to stay how it is (was). I did mention I eat Doners too, right? GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

Format, did you really come back to feel insulted by such weak trolls as myself? I mean, it's flattering and all, but please don't take anything at face value around here, would you? #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|

You're making a difficult argument, in a difficult medium. Forums, and this one in particular, is a tough place for this. Yours is sort of tangent to a larger issue I think: Are we open to all foreign cultural ideas and notions, or are there limits? Does Christmas belong to the classic western culture or do we welcome everything in? "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
anager, in no way do I feel insulted and I don´t think you are a troll. I knew I was going to be driving on rough terrain. Gaggle, these questions are interesting. Maybe I should not elaborate on them right now because I really don´t want to look like some fanatic trying to teach Christian values... I am not on some kind of crusade (mind you, I don´t even believe in God). I think I am only expressing my concerns about the changing of a very traditional event. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

Christmas has been a secular holiday for years. The only god involved is the almighty dollar. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Do Christians not like kebabs for some religious reason? Is it like trying to sell bacon at an Islamic market? |
|
I like doner kebabs. I like them a lot. Does that make me a terrorist? |
|
I would gladly buy a kebab from a vendor during the Christmas season. Kebabs are good. You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

Do Christians not like kebabs for some religious reason? Is it like trying to sell bacon at an Islamic market? Well, of course it´s not the same. And... You know what? I realise now I am in error for saying it´s not okay to have Doners sold at a Christmas market. I would probably have not noticed a Pizza stand selling slices of Pizza Hawaii. I realise now that my taking an issue with it probably has more to do with me being a bit racist towards muslims, after all, even if I did not want to admit it. Please excuse me.
