Does the randomness get better after a while or am, shall we say, out of luck?

It gets better in a sense because your units and their gear means that you will always be seeking to get near guarenteed, if not outright guaranteed, shots.

As well weapons just keep getting more and more accuracy until they kind of get rediculous in that respect. It is FAR from impossible to have a 100% shot on enemies with cover.
Mostly just with the specialist sniper weapons, though. Which you'd expect to have the accuracy and power to do such things.

Today, some lady went into the bathroom, gave birth to and then drowned her newborn child at the Walmart I work at.

It made me very angry.
...the F**K?!

But they didn't come around until a good deal of time after the Emperor's death.
And? Sidious was perhaps the most powerful Sith to have ever lived. It isn't unreasonable that he could see the future.
Even if that was the ultimate purpose of the Death Star, it's not like ol' Palpatine had any objections to letting maniacs like Tarkin run around blowing up populated worlds.

WMG says that the Yuuzhan Vong were actually Tau remnants fleeing to another galaxy.
As in Warhammer 40,000 Tau? Where'd they get that idea? O_o

How stupid are people nowadays?! We had a guy come in, looking to sell back one of his schoolbooks. As he takes it out, he asks "Does it matter if it's a rental?" Obviously. If the book is rented, the only thing you can do is check it in*. So as he does this, he asks "Will I still get money back?"
...
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF "RENTAL"?!


With a rental, you'd still save more money as you only pay roughly half the original price, while the most I've seen anyone get from selling it back, which is not even guaranteed, is around $14.00-$15.00, and books are often over ten times that.
Half the original price? Not around here, where you're lucky to "rent" a book for 80% of normal value in the worst cases. I've actually saved more money by buying and selling back then I have with returning rentals.

Ridiculous amounts of sexism and bad language abound!

Yeah, their other stuff is worse. I seriously want to punch whoever approved most of these. #16 most of all.
Suddenly I also feel the urge to punch people. Jeez louise, what the hell are those Spencer's guys on?

Japan got hit by a 7.3 quake. Poor guys really can't catch a break.
Fuck. I hope they're alright. Also I hope my schizophrenic roommate doesn't once again claim that there are earthquakes in Japan because God hates Asians because if he does I may deck him.
Apparently it caused a 9 foot tsunami. I bet anyone who experienced the last one freaked the fuck out.
If there's another nuclear disaster, I'm blaming Cthulhu.

Because they're a mammal similar to beavers.
False.

Wolverines are more similar to badgers. Now THAT would be a good fight. Wolverine would probably win. But again, beavers are supposed to somehow rep Canada (although moose are on their currency, too). A better question would be... Who would win, the Queen or George Washington?!

Does the Queen get to call in James Bond as an ally of opportunity?
Only if George Washington gets to call in Jason Bourne.

Beavers=Canada

Badgers=United States

Not that hard to figure out.
Except that both badgers and beavers can be found in both countries.

So, TotalBiscuit is playing the Starcraft II HOTS beta.
Beta is beta?
I've never played Starcraft II. Where's the WTF?

I think it's common knowledge that e-readers are the spawn of horrors beyond human understanding.
Aside from the unnatural lack of weight and paper in your hands...how so, exactly?

It's a sad day when we have to save books from being destroyed by public libraries.
Wait, when did this happen recently? I've heard of people threatening to destroy books borrowed from the public library, but never of libraries destroying the books themselves.

@ misko: That's fine IMHO, and mostly unavoidable if you read a lot. I've had to throw away a few of my favorite novels because I read them so much that the bindings came off  :-\
