I need the thing I'm missing to install the thing I'm missing.  It's terrible.

Get a flash drive or SD card, install that onto it from a different computer, then copy it onto your system.

Same ominous feeling.

How can you get an installation error when you wouldn't be installing anything?

I don't show up cause it's boring.

It's pretty nice. I mean, as long as you have it open and aren't only doing that. That would be boring. And also dumb.

It is. But when I get on my computer I'm usually playing a game so it doesn't really work out.

You guys are like a bunch of gossipy girls talking about people behind their backs.

If you ever showed up, you'd do the same.

EJ, I realise you're not the brightest bulb in the batch, but how can you call Mandela an African-American?! He never lived in the US! African, yes. African-American, no! I think, in fact, that your bulb is entirely dark.

Stop being so stupid. He says things like this on purpose and you fall for it every time.

Not yet, had it for a year now and still can't figure that out.

It's normally some combination of the power and volume buttons.

Or the lock and home button.

This seriously almost makes up for all the boys you've kissed.

It's wonderful, Balkno.

Whoa, you didn't have to quote me to thank "Balkno."

Yes I did cause I share the sentiment. It's not my fault people are posting on here like crazy and it was 2 pages back.

What about a video version of a debunk of the Minute Physics video noobs like to post?

That could also work, but it should come after the initial video. The more videos the more traffic.

Suggestions & Concerns / FES Video

« on: December 04, 2013, 06:48:34 PM »

I'll get this rolling with its own thread. I suggested that if we want more traffic we should make a video that links back to this site and start posting it around.

So far we have Pizza Planet willing to edit the video.
Thork (or possibly Crudblud) can do the voice over.
And Spoon offered to provide background music.

Maybe we could work on the script together here. Now what kind of video should this be? Should this video describe the FES as a whole and the movement up until this point?

Also, if people want more traffic then maybe we should make a video with the site's link and start posting it around. People could write up the script while someone else is the spokesman.

As long as other people are writing the words for him to say, I nominate Thork as the spokesperson.

British accents do add respectability.

Sanford's series is set in Minnesota.  Maybe it is the same one.  He has two series which intermingle based around Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers.

Sorry, I meant finishing as in writing his own books.

I'm going to pick up the latest Sanford novel for my parents for Christmas and then I'll subsequently borrow it from them sometime there after.  His books are the first serious cop drama in any format that I actually enjoy.  The bad guys in those books are usually pretty well developed and often disturbingly psychotic.

On a related note, my dad has finished or is close to finishing a cop drama set in the Midwest. He loves the genre and used to be an LA cop. Exciting.

Whelp, the ending to Pokemon Y was somewhat contrived and easy to see coming, but it did get to me. Now to play the real game on multiplayer, I guess. Also I caved and bought a link between worlds.

Yes, well it is a Pokemon game.

That doesn't make it a reboot.  The events of the first two games still happened, and the later games do occasionally refer to them.

Shh, it's a reboot. And I have no idea that it refers to them so it is basically a stand alone.

I would definitely be into a FES book club.

I recently read Cold Mountain. I think it captured the TN hills pretty well. It was like a Confederate soldier's Odyssey.
