That's good to here. I had cancer completely ruled out on tuesday with a cystoscopy (which was quite painful, but worth it for the peace of mind).
Also, can a mod ban themselves? Anyone willing to try? My curiosity needs to be sated!
No, they can't.
I think our attempts are even documented somewhere right in this thread. You can't ban other moderators, and by the same logic, you can't ban yourself because you haven't got that privilege.
Is being evil a bad thing?
I've got to say in games where I'm meant to be evil (Overlord) I did a lot less killing and destruction than in games I am supposed to be good...
As a note, I originally was looking for a picture of sad Bruce Banner. Sounds easy, right? Half his comics involve moping of some sort! I went through six or seven pages of Google Image results without a single depressing picture. I'm frankly shocked.

Normative western ethics generally allow for the justification of violent conflict resolution. Hence: Soldiers are honorable, taking down home invaders is commendable, "fighting back" against aggressors shows strength and independence, etc.

Spent the past few d-oh god, I'm even seing code here!
Anyway, spent the past few days working on porting my Java-based crafting engine, used to do all sorts of things like RPG crafting or even the Alchemy kind of games, to ruby 1.9.2 for RPG Maker VX Ace, all while trying to fix up my Java-based version.
I'm still surprised I can still somewhat keep those two apart. Even more surprised I'm not seeing the Matrix.
EDIT: Aw Christ, I might need to change things up a bit to allow stacks and recipes using quantities...
Sheldon interrupts Leonard's date because his laptop battery is dying and he needs his charger.
He grabs an ethernet cord.
It would be funny, if it weren't so sad.
(HURR HURR THAT WAS A PORTAL REFERENCE GEDDIT?)
He grabbed a yellow extension cord and plugged it into the wall. An ethernet patch cable would not be that long, nor would the plug be as big.
It is worth noting that he didn't seem to have his charger in hand (nor on the stairs in the previous scene) with which to plug his laptop into the yellow extension cord, so the cord itself would still be of no use.
So today was the 10th day of my dad's vacation. We've had a couple days of play, a couple days of yard work, and no less than three days of shopping at Home Depot and Lowe's for our bathroom project. Today, on day 10 of 17, we finally started working on the bathroom.
Here's the closest I have to a "before" shot:
Let's be honest, Gordon Freeman has no idea what a crowbar is actually for. Granted, Half-Life would've been much less exciting if you walked around using the crowbar on drywall instead of headcrabs. Still, there's something to be said for ripping out walls with zero fucks given.
Progress at the end of day 1:
We managed to get all our stuff either boxed, thrown out, or moved to the upstairs bathroom, and we totally ripped the tile and drywall out of the shower. Tomorrow: plumbing!

Forgive me fer livin', but my eyesight is terrible.
The bright color looked much like that of your average 25 ft ethernet cord.
I think he somehow managed to plug the extension cord into the computer. Not sure how. But I don't care enough to verify this.
I guess what I'm saying was there was something going on with that scene but they didn't take the opportunity to make it funny, which just seems lazy.
I watched that scene after you mentioned it here (thanks to a bit of Googling), and what he did was walk in with his laptop, pick up the extension cord, plug it in to the wall, and walk back out with his laptop and the other end of the cord. He kept walking until the cord as far as it could reach. You don't see him plug it into his laptop, nor is there any laptop charger cable to be seen with him in either that scene or the previous one when he is sitting on the stairs.
However, they did have the courtesy to use the correct sound effects for Mario 64, which he said he was playing. Most any other sitcom would have used some lame Atari sound effects instead.

...I banned myself."
Can we afford to take that risk?

Seems people ONLY like him when he's angry.
The first series was allright but after that it more insults nerd culture than accepts it...
That is more horrifying than anything.

Who the fuck is "Gool" anyway?
The funny thing is that I misread it as "GooL", too.
