Steam turned me on to Peggle too. You won't play Spider Solitaire ever again. Put it on your work computer ;-)

Thank you, you lovely bastards, (Kronos's verbiage, not mine). I am, in fact, a rock'n'roller who grew tired of starving, a converted finger-picker and hopeless fish-head who dreams, at least every other night, of casting a dry fly to a brown trout the size of my leg, and a political conservative, (contrary to the drift of the Sift), but one who, instead of thinking he's always right, knows he's always right. There's an important difference there. So, when I do comment, don't try to refute it, unless you're my wife. In her eyes, I have only two faults, everything I say and everything I do.

So, I'll keep posting my lovely acoustic guitar videos, so I can continue to fill my P-queue. I'll continue to rain realism on your idealistic world views. And, I'll........Yes honey, I'll get off the computer now so you can play solitaire. I'll be back. Beware.

I'm in northern california.

The coffee was snapped by a friend named Queue. I should have given her credit, but I was too busy pouring coffee.

I do love my monitor. Yesterday I was in geek heaven: Battlestar Galactica playing in one window, keeping tabs on my sifts in another (at this point, I have many many many videos that I want to post as soon as I get space--it's amazing to me that at earlier points I had trouble finding appropriate videos), and playing spider solitaire now and again.

Man, I'm going to hate having to get more serious about work soon...

LOL @ solitaire comment. Awesome.

Anyone know the ultimate outcome from this game?

It's a little weird to be accused of being made up!

You know, sometimes I think that this entire site is nothing but Dag just making multiple accounts for all his split personalities to talk with one another, and I'm just a pawn in his demented little head game. But then I realize that I'm probably just paranoid and I go play Solitaire with Pokemon cards.

Contrary to what the person getting the degree said...the all time landmark (and record holding) titles in terms of sales (and cultural impact) do not have violence or sex. The ones with violence and sex just make the most noise when they become successful by short term and local (to their genre) measure. And even then, they are often not successful because they had violence and sex...it just appears that way from a layman perspective.

As for the video...it is of course full of inaccuracy and misleading issues. For example it displays a sentence that says "half of america plays video games" yet no one speaks it outloud. No one wants to get called on it because it is just a statistical trick. It's a trick because the "half of america" thing is only true when you count things like casual web games, cell phone games, harmless stuff like tetris and the games that come with windows like minesweeper and solitaire.

I agree the whole thing is still scary though because it does not matter if it is true or not. It matters only who argues louder.
