That's because I was bad and misspelled his name!

It's Devin. http://www.podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/bands/3/somnolent_electronic_neo-existentialism.php

You don't happen to have any links for the artist or the music from your video "Evolution of a Virtual creature", do you? It's a rather tough search since "pop science" floods me with the magazine Popular Science, and "devon anderson" floods me with an actor with the same name, but not seemingly related to this guy. The only site that turned up for "pop science" + "devon anderson" was your video.

Try it with some slow music with less beats - a slow classical music piece with violins perhaps - or just an acoustic ballad? If you're not really into puzzles in the first place I don't know what else to say.

On the super-fast songs it's really tough to avoid just overfilling and wiping out though, I'll give you that. I liked using Vegas or Eraser on those modes because it let me 'fix' my mistakes or the fast segments' wreckage rather easily.

I was surprisingly meh on this game. It sounded like a good time... sort of like Guitar Hero (which I love) but with ANY song in my library. Awesome, right?

Maybe it was my choice of songs, but I never felt really connected to the music. It felt more like I was racing, and music happened to be playing, but the game wasn't really about the music.

Maybe I just don't like to think that much when I'm playing a game... never liked Tetris, so I really didn't like playing as anything but the Mono guys in Audiosurf. Having all those different colors and worrying positioning and what to pick up, making big clusters... too much going on at once for me.

Anyway, I guess it wasn't for me, but I can see how it would be like crack for Tetris fans.

There are lots of recipes that have an official way of doing them- sauces especially. Proper preparation of so-called "mother" sauces, such as bechamel, hollandaise, mayonnaise, demi-glace etc. are one of the foundations of French cooking- and following from that most of the cooking in great restaurants around the world.Many chefs work their entire careers as "Sauciers" or sauce-makers... that's it... that's their job- to make sauces properly. If a Saucier at a top restaurant used flour to thicken his Alfredo, he would lose his job.

Many sauces are complicated and time-consuming, not to mention delicate and demanding. Others are not- like Alfredo. It's unbelievably simple to make. Simply melt 6 or 8 tbsp. of good butter- unsalted is preferable as the cheese is quite salty already, along with 1 cup of heavy cream- heat it until the cream scalds (bubbles lightly- not boils) and the butter is melted, add par-cooked fettucine noodles to the pan and toss to coat. Then add another 1/2 cup of cream and a lot of REAL parmiggiano reggiano cheese- 1 1/2 cups is about right. Grate some pepper and a little nutmeg (optional, but delicious), toss to coat and warm in the pan until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. As I said- traditionally it is served with peas and shaved parma ham- those can be added at to the pan at the same time as the par-cooked pasta- frozen peas are usually used as their quality is usually better than fresh.

Make this once, and I guarantee you'll never buy bottled crap again, and neither will you use "flour" in your Alfredo.

It is unbelievably rich and satisfying, make it for your sweetheart on a special occasion. Top it with scampi or chicken if you want a complete meal. YUM! Oh, and make sure you serve it hot- straight out of the pan onto the plate and eat it right away- it'll thicken too much if you let it cool down.

Is there some official alfredo council or something? I've never heard of a recipe that only had one "official" way of making it. I mean, I assume that the recipe I linked is some bastardized American version of a more delicious recipe, but I'd just call it "crappy alfredo sauce"...

You can put whatever the hell you want in your sauce, it's just not Alfredo.

The only permitted ingredients in REAL Alfredo sauce are A)Butter B)Cream and C)REAL Parmigiano Reggiano- the king of cheeses. Alfredo is also traditionally served with pees (yes, pees) and shaved parma ham- also known as Prosciutto. That shitty recipe you linked to is a vomit-inducing fraud.

Dude, your avatar is a delicious cow- I thought you'd understand.

If nobody answered you yet, Zoolander had all these names for "looks" that he did while posing for the camera. But they were all essentially the same thing, him staring intently at the camera. The names in the video were taken from Zoolander.

Someone who has seen zoolander please explain that to me.

Thanks!

Nice tags

Thanks. I have to admit to being too tender-hearted to feel safe at forchan. I only see the remnants when they float out to the rest of the internet...


In reply to this comment by cheesemoo:
Oh, probably doesn't make any sense if you aren't familiar with 4chan and the like. On 4chan, /b/ is the imageboard where anything and everything is posted: porn, bad photoshops, memes of all sorts, shock images (goatse and worse), etc...

Anyway, I'll kind of break down the stages for you frame by frame:

1. He's just logged onto /b/
2-3. Shocked by something he has seen (from context, this may actually be goatse)
4. Incredulous that such a horror could exist
5-6. Crying and coming to terms with the horror of the internet
7. Acceptance
8. Ultimately ends up so jaded that nothing shocks him and he blithely comments that goatse (or I assume that's what he's referring to) "needs moar pooper"

The afro likely refers to him now considering himself to be a nigra.

I'm just dense, I think. That cartoon didn't exactly leap into clear understanding for me.

On the bright side, you could be worse than just desensitized, right?

In reply to this comment by oxdottir:
It's amazing how desensitized you can get. My main reaction was, "goatsee. yeah. lame. move along."

I haven't been able to find any legal sources for the whole thing, or even important parts. However, I did find this link with all of the audio from the opera (the big scene at the end) thrown together with some stills from the episode. It's really awful compared to the real thing, doesn't really convey the humor or anything nearly as well as with the visuals.

Here's a transcript of the whole episode if you're interested. The definition of irony was involved in a running gag throughout the episode, with bender always pointing out something like "that's not ironic, it's just mean!" etc...
