I can't believe I'm about to type this, as I think Andy Samberg is a smart and talented young man with infinite opportunities, besides one. Movies.

He's terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible in movies.

He's funny. Funny, funny, funny. Just not in movies.

He may work as a character who supports the supporting character, but as a lead or co-star he ruins movies.

Andy has so much talent that i have to wonder why he hasn't fired his agent yet. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Andy's post snl career is very close to an end if he doesn't to back to internet videos and writing for sitcoms.
LOL!

WAT?

Not really, the problems creeping into college education today are very similar to the problems found in primary/secondary education for the past decade.

Not rap, but still somewhat related.

Well fortunately it is a mirrored volume... And sure enough, the clicky one came up with errors this morning and my mirror has Failed Redundancy. :evil:

Anyone got experience replacing a mirrored volume or removing/breaking?

It was my first time with RAID mirroring and it worked - I had a 100% back-up. My replacement disk will be here tomorrow and all's good again. :D

Sometimes I wish Nintendo would have titled Kung-Fu after its main character.

Mom: "Luke, what are you playing".

Me: "Thomas".

I think game companies should let the consumers do translations and such for games they aren't willing to. Let the fans translate and slave, maybe even do the voiceovers, (proffesional or amauteur) and they only need to do the bit of code related to region protection, burn the games, make some boxes, and send them out.

I honestly can't help but see that being a pretty good profit margin. Hell, they could even make the games as they are ordered. I just want more Japanese games to come to the rest of the world.

Still waiting on Pandora's Tower, damn it!
