But I've still gotta read this!
Holy nostalgia Batman.
I've read pretty much everything he's written except REAMDE because I found it so boring.
Nash, he should go to Grug next. Grug is cool.

Damn Grug was great.
Plenty of other fish in the sea. Like Stross' Laundry Files. Those are great fun and not at all tedious. And very, very geeky. In a Lovecraftian spy-thriller crossed with BOFH kinda way.

For some not terrible clothing, I picked up one of these at the Capcom store while I was in Japan.

This is the build I've come up with for a steam machine. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though, and SSD to be put in later.
And yeah I'll probably just get them to build it, I can't be bothered this time.

WOW that case is expensive! Is that a special type of RAM too? I thought the 8GB packs were around $60ish lately.

Considered something like a PC-C37 (if they're even still available, looks like they are)? Size difference is pretty minimal (fits in my TV cabinet, just), but doesn't include a motherboard. Much cheaper though.
You'll have to be careful about the video card selection, however. You'd need a low profile one most likely.

Damn that's nice. Might have to look at something like that in a couple years. Probably re use my current case for a new gaming rig, but use as much of the bits in something like that for a htpc.

I'm not a fan of the optical drive section, it's a tad squishy, and the LED is a bit bright, but other than that it's pretty nice. Not super quiet, but it was behind a glass door so no big deal.
I don't really use it much any more though.
Check your PMs when you get a chance!

Yeah I'm in the same boat, so much indecision. That and the 2nd had parts I'd bought last weekend (off a forum) still haven't shown up.
I was also really wanting to oh the mitx route, but having to get sff sized PSUs etc is a bit of a pain/expensive.

There is a single Capcom store in Odaiba. I was fortunate enough to randomly stumble across it on my trip!
Dammit I was in Odaiba >_< I didn't see it.

It's in Aquacity http://www.aquacity.jp/floor/shop_detail/3F90/en
Only opened in 2012. They had some pretty cool t-shirts and things. Made me realise how many good series Capcom have actually had over the years.
I'm sure you could get almost anything they stock at the store online though.
Damn, I was in Aqua City but didn't see it.
I bought a Grug collection for my 3 year-old nephew for Christmas. I think I was more excited about it than he was!
Episode 5 of The Genius finally made it out today. Better late than never, but not without thanks to Bumdiddles for being so dedicated.The following are spoilers for the latest ep in case it isn't apparent, don't want anyone to see them accidentally.
He'll be excited soon enough. Though Grug even looks awesome.
It was a tense episode where the twist didn't click with me even after they revealed the hidden bills, it wasn't until they reiterated that those who needed no chips essentially had 2 wild cards. That was devastating to Yoonsun and Jinho's revelation that they could've won them and Yohwan the game if the rest fell into place.
I thought Jinho might've been off to the deathmatch given what happened in the opening, but Yoonsun does seem to be more reasonable in this area. When she narrowed it down to Hongchul and Yohwan, she did seem to back down from Hongchul due to what I assume would be the concern of a social-based deathmatch, which would certainly have given him the edge and they both knew it. Yohwan couldn't have been a worse choice for Laser Chess, given his strategic and tactical mind, whereas Hongchul would've played more headgames to try and mess with her.
It's a shame she went in the end. I thought she was very intelligent, she was fair, but the social side of it really hurt her.

As far as I am aware it's just a flavour of Linux, which means yes to your questions, however they may lock it down somewhat.
The only locking down they've done so far is to not let you get into the desktop by default. All you have to do is tick an option in interface settings though and you can get to the Debian desktop and do whatever Linux stuff you want. I doubt that would lock down that side of it more, but they will include more stuff in the Steam client so you don't have to bother leaving it.
Making games is real hard.

You should be able to join chat without being part of the group on irc or steam, then just ask someone to add you to the group. I'm fairly sure anyone can.

well if hes already looking at the group on steam why would he use irc to get us to add him
dont be silly mega irc is only for work hours
dont be silly mega irc is only for work hours
no. words.
you could get everyone to buy a different 6 pack and sample away.
I bought some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to the last board game event I went to, people enjoyed that. The Mountain Goat IPA went down well, too.
And then I bought Wizard's Ale (boags, I know, don't hate me) because it's turned into a tradition for me to bring it. Because, as most of you should know, I'm a Wizard.
