So you're saying you didn't crack even a smile? Not even a little bit? Do I have to be the guy who seems like a dick for laughing at that? I mean come on, how stupid can you be?
I didn't even recognize it as a joke until I'd reread it about five times trying to figure out what the problem was, and once I did I just kind of looked at it like it was a stupid puppy that peed on the floor. E: And not even the "Amused Exasperation at Young Animals" look. This is the "Contemplating Kicking the Puppy" gaze. Wasn't even amused by that sort of thing in grade school, especially in that sort of context :-\

Horrible as it is, I did, however, give a Snort of Amusement at this:
Those names. Are goddam Chinese.

... apparently in a particular building/area of the Texas capital, and only for people attending a particular public speaking event.

It's still more than a little ridiculous, but less so than it seemed to begin with. They're apparently "just" confiscating stuff that's likely to be thrown at the speaker.

Oh for fuck's sake. They're pot-shaped things that you use to clean your nose out with a saline solution. The brain eating amoebas come from the water you use to create the saline solution, and have nothing to do with the pot.

That's it. It has nothing to do with injecting yourself with amoebas for kicks.
... you stick a pot spout up your freaking nose, and then apparently water comes out the other side. Only about a tenth of my revulsion comes from the amoeba potential. Maybe less. Those things look like a torture device.

21784
Ah ha. So what's the minimum safe distance one needs to be from a neti pot to burn it to ash without the possibility of brain amoeba? Because these things sound like they're in the "Purge with Fire" category.

Also I need to go check what these things look like so I can make sure to keep the minimum safe distance going at all times. How did anyone ever think these things were a good idea?

E: Bloody hell, these things look like something that'd be used in the mummification process. First pull the brain out with a hook and then deep clean the inside of the skull. They're vaguely terrifying! I'm fairly sure I'd rather die of congestion than use one of those things, honestly.

AI will quite happily move between the underground and the surface. They're fairly competent about moving between the shadow plane and the normal world as well.

okay wait what

This suggested remedy involves brain eating amoebas? Why was that not included as a side effect in the original suggestion?

Because, I'm not sure about this, but. I consider "Side effects may include brain eating amoebas" to be information pertinent to an informed decision. Yeah?

21787
... so, uh. Any of you folks have an opinion on Overlord? It, its expansion, and the sequel are going for about five bucks right now, and I've run into it enough in fanfiction crossovers I'm somewhat tempted.

Entry the forth, spoilered for size~

Second one was a real-time action with a small squad, and very much so part of the MechWarrior series. I remember specifically that there was a pilot named Longshot. Is this enough info?
Sounds like it might be one of the mech commander games.

The last one definitely rings a bell, too, but I can't recall the name :-\

E: That said, check this. List of games published by microsoft.

... the thought of a shadowrun converted Kefka is oddly terrifying.

Also entry three: Page 147 of Arsenal :P Trolls can be stealthy too, darn it!

21792
That seems weird even to me :-\

From what I remember damage wise, Mundo wants Mpen more than AP insofar as magic damage goes -- as Salmon notes, dude's ratio is terrible. Literally the only thing that scales with AP is burning agony, and that's at 20% (which is... just horrible, s'far as I'm aware.), but magic pen helps the cleavers as well as agony.

S'been too long since I've played to offer any suggestions, though... maybe swap the rylai's out for something? Is the slow on agony really that important? Why not switch for more spellvamp (since you're apparently relying on agony for close in sustain?) or mpen? Or something to boost up the rightclick, or help the team (aegis, etc.).

Full on Mpen sounds like it'd be, what? Void, liandry, sorc boots? Maybe an abyssal, but you probably wouldn't be getting close enough to use it very often. S'not really much that offers mpen, really. Still leaves two or three slots open.

21793
... huh. What make of |0|, though? There's a lot of cannons in the world, and they come in many different sizes.

A lot of people will like this:

Dominion 3 75% off at $8:

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-DOM3A/dominions-3-the-awakening
!!!

Yoink. Also worth noting it's only going for about twenty more hours, from this post. Day long sale. Also the cheapest I've ever seen Dom 3 and... yeesh. Cheers, buri!

21795
Dominions 3 on sale at ~8 USD through gamersgate for the next twenty hours of so.

That price, for Dom 3? I can afford. Did afford. Have got. Wheeeeeee!

Is rare that acquisition makes me happy, especially when I'm this sleep deprived, but... it's Dominions 3! At a price that won't literally feed me for a month! The moon has split in two and dances a tango in five dimensions! Chickens spawn heads as though a hydra and caw in chorus at midday! The firmament of reality has broken and enriched my gaming library and (presumably) a worthy game developer's pockets! Cheers!
