Great show! I loved the Matt Hazard comparison. Yes, drawing attention to your product's shortcomings does not negate them. It'd be like a Chrysler commercial where the spokesman says "Yes, it's true that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has come to the conclusion that Chrysler cars often experience brake failure. That's because in succeeding, they 'break' failure, get it?" Self-deprecating humor is barely humor.

So have you guys played the zombie expansion of Red Dead? I keep hearing that it's better than the game proper.

Dave, if you want a somewhat different MMO, you've got Vindictus. Bam. You've got TERA. Boom.

Well, sound logic.

I'm looking forward to Old Republic as well. I haven't paid for an MMO ever, but I think that has more to do with time available rather than price.

I was excited by the wacky pricing system APB had; too bad their game was worthless outside of the character customization.

I would be tempted to pay a lifetime membership like they had in Star Trek Online.

Well, FFXI looked pretty good too, but even without the crushing bugs and interface issues of FFIV it was still a terrible game. It just sounds like 14 amplified both the good (the graphics) and bad (everything else) of 11 to an absurd degree.

I still don't get how anyone believes that there is a difference in peanut butter quality depending on the brand. I've been eating Peter Pan and Skippy interchangeably for months now. Peanut butter is just peanuts and butter, it's scientifically impossible to taste bad. I think what this country needs is a nationwide PB taste testing, so that people can get past their prejudices.

I don't know if this helps with this great debate, but before me are 2 bottles of peanut butter. One is Peter Pan, the other is Jif, both are creamy. The ingredients of Peter Pan are roasted peanuts, sugar, less than 2% of: hydrogenated vegetable oils (cottonseed and rapeseed), salt, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil. The ingredients of Jif are roasted peanuts, sugar, 2% or less of: molasses, fully hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed and soybean), mono and diglycerides, salt. No idea if this helps, but I was bored.

Ok just to clarify various things: peanut butter is made from ground peanuts, not peanuts and butter. Also no one calls that shit rapeseed anymore. It has the words rape and seed in it, that shit is unpleasant.

You all know there are brands of peanut butter besides Peter Pan and Jif, right? I grew up on hippie health food store peanut butter where you had to stir all the oil in when you opened the jar.

God, damned hippie peanut butter. In middle school I was over a friend's house and we wanted to make PB&J and all they had was that hippie peanut butter. I went to open it up and had a hard time doing so. When I finally managed to wrench the lid off the freaking oil got all over a brand new shirt. Which I was never able to get that stain out of it.

My Mom works at Pathmark and while I don't think they do it anymore they used (80s to early 90s) to make fresh ground peanut butter in the store. Now that I think about it, that is really strange. I can't remember if I had any or not though.

Bored science is not good science.

We're not counting the peanut butter/ jelly mix stuff, are we? Nor store brand peanut butter?

Poor people buy poor peanut butter. Even if I'm broke and I'm buying peanut butter, I'm going with Skippy.

[quote="RobotBastard"]A relevant piece of information.

Oh so Asian woman then?

I like Jif like most real Americans. I tried to convince myself once that Reese's peanut butter tasted just like the peanut butter in peanut butter cups, but it was all for not.

What's the general consensus on Skippy peanut butter? I like it, but not more than any other edible brand.

I remember renting network cards so that we could experience the incredible luxury of playing Doom with more than two people.

And having to terminate the coaxial lines we were using to connect the computers because ethernet was still this crazy new thing that nobody had yet, and you had to buy a $400 switch to use it.

Blizzards next mmo at the moment is called codename titan but they wont be talking about it till 2012. Guild wars 2 and rift look great until that comes out.

I am eagerly awaiting both Guild Wars 2 and the day in which parenthood will allow me some free time to play Guild Wars 2.

When that day arrives you'll be asked to babysit your grandkids...
