— Jack M. I know y'all think it's down to Las Vegas and New Orleans. But there is a last minute contender for the position of "Host City" for the proposed Blogapaloozastockamont Conference.
In fact, as one of the judges, I am being lobbied pretty ferociously by this latest entry. They even sent me a brief video explaining the merits of their locale.
I think you will agree that this place has a lot to offer the AoSHQ lifestyle. Consider me sold.

That promotional clip doesn't show availability of cheap booze, easy hooker access, gambling, or wealthy cougars on the rampage.
Also, the landing facilities appear to be sub-standard.

I just got the new CoDMW2 on Tuesday. I played it for an hour and had some little kid with a high pitched voice call me a "newb".
How can I be a "newb" when the game just came out last week?

Why not have the convention in Berkeley? Not that any minds would be changed but it would be rather fun to watch hundreds of screaming, apoplectic moonbats losing their shit while we throw empty cans of Stroh's at them.
Think about the potential fun! Shooting tree-sitters in the ass with pellet guns, throwing flash-bangs into dumpsters and betting how many hippies come jumping out. The possibilities are endless!

One of my boys will have it beaten by midnight. And I thought it was "Noob" rhyming with boob. I'm glad to know their minds wandered away from boobs momentarily to use a word connoting naivete. I get it now...

what is the best system out there these days?
when i left the gaming world it was playstation 2, with jaguar 64 the close runner up.
i bought a wii for my sister, but it seemed like it was made for little kids. so is it xbox or ps3 that is the better system or are they essentially the same?

More people play Xbox 360 than the Playstation. If you don't have any friends that have either system I would go with the Playstation. It plays bluerays, you do not have to pay to play online, and it comes with memory. With the Xbox you have to buy all that stuff and pay 50 bucks a year to play online.

really? ps3 has free online? wonder how they make money. Again i used to play n64(essentially just goldeneye), ps2 and a whole lot of Call of Duty on the PC in college. I remember the online thing was just starting for video games.
i am not going to get one any time soon. I just bought a dog , so i am busy as it is, but I do think the games keep getting cooler, at least from what i see.

I always wondered if Ewoks were midget Wookies.
Of course. Spell wookie backward. The opposite of wookie is ewok... and they're little instead! Now you know how George Lucas thinks.

NEVER will I buy another Microsoft product. It has broken 3 times. If you touch the console while the game is in it, it scratches the $70 game into trash. It is hard to hook up to Wifi and you have to pay $$ to access. I hate the Xbox--it has caused misery. Our old play station 2 is still working as is the nintendo 64. I would always go with play station. Microsoft is also impossible to get help from.
Posted by: Dagny at November 20, 2009 07:46 AM (8j/o5)
I have xbox 360. It's a great unit, I think. You have to buy a secondary cooling fan for it though, or its liable to overheat. That, and Blu Ray are its main drawback. It's userbase is a lot large than PS3 so you get more action in the online games (which I don't do too much). Also, generally, the graphics on the xbox are better than PS3 (its a slight difference, while you play you won't notice).
Contrary to Dagny, I thought MS was really helpful when I called them a few times. Only so much they can do, of course. But they try at least.
xbox lets you stream netflix movies to your TV. Not sure if PS does that or not.

Ditto on what Mr. Pink said. The blu-ray play is the key. You get a great gaming sytem plus a console to watch blu-ray movies and they are a much better viewing quality than regular dvd.

There is only one reason why I'm going to by a PS3.
GoW3 comes out in March!
And they have GoW and GoW2 remastered for the PS3 now too. I don't think there'll be new content, as some moron told me a few days ago, but it'll still be awesome.

My Xbox 360 just got banned online for a "mistake" over a mod. So I sold that one and got a new one. I would have bought a PS3 but noone I know plays that. If I had a choice I would definately advise you getting a PS3.

The actual number is not yet available (to me anyway). This is HUGE and confirms the recent FoxNews and Rasmussen Polling. ABC/Wapo is starting to look pretty silly with their 20% Republican sample and 56% Approval Rating.

Once this healthcare passes, it doesn't really matter. we will have lost, even if obama gets killed in 2010-2012. America will be a different country, we will have become a welfare state, and our "right" parties will resemble European Tories and Conservatives who do nothing but tell the voters that they can run the welfare state more efficiently, not that the welfare state needs to go.

Krauthermer makes no sense and bases his nonsense -playing to the gallery - on anecdotes and cliches.
We are trying these ALLEGED terrorists in civilian courts, through the fairest of legal systems, to prove that they are guilty, and to dish to them their due punishment.
If the facts show that they are not guilty, THEY SHOULD BE FREED. Do you have a problem with that?
Anything else is stupidity led by people like Krauthermer, Cheney, Rumsfeld, who have lowered the prestige of America so much that we even fear the possible outcome of our own legal system. If we don't respect ourselves, if we don't do what we preach, how else do you expect the world to believe what we preach they do? And you wonder why America is losing influence around the world at an alarming rate.
