So if people are fussy about the new containers, why can't they just sell/give away a little spout that affixes to the top? You don't have to put it on the jug when shipping, so problem solved on that front, but it fixes the problem on the consumer end.

My two cents as a Beer Drinker:

Budweiser is an Acceptable Cheap Beer (but give me Pabst instead any day). As noted above, it's amusing that they admit to using adjuncts right there on the can. I can live with that kind of honesty. (The part about its expense is a hoot. Maybe if they include Super Bowl ads.)

Bud Light is shit in a bottle. Completely grasty (yes, that's gross + nasty). I'd rather drink Coors Light, and that's saying... [more]

Holy Jesus uncanny valley &c. &c.

I remember this nonsense from my Chuck-E-Cheese (usually) and/or Showbiz (sometimes) days. I never really noticed it (I guess I had to grow up a bit to properly appreciate creepiness), since in the next room over there was the Star Wars arcade game. I mean come on, that game was awesome.

I just saw the Final Cut tonight (stupid movie theater had a shaky projector and didn't matte the picture properly, so the first frame of every cut had a burst of between-frame data showing).

Basically it's a neatly-trimmed edit of the Director's Cut version with some of the movie's more obvious technical/efx gaffes corrected. Batty says "father" instead of "fucker" and really does a number on Tyrell's eyes, flying-car wires are erased, Zhora no... [more]

I was just listening to Gash the other day. It's a pity the production on that album was so shitty, because the songs are pretty great.

For those of you who are worried about the activation thing, the game is also available for download via Steam. I'm not sure if it's actually lacking SecuROM (I haven't played or purchased it), but since Steam has its own authentication methods, I imagine it's absent.

Tried to play the demo today. My box is massively underpowered (it barely runs Half-Life 2 well), but I figured I'd have a gander, even if it was at 2 fps. The first sequence in the water was a mess of... [more]

Listening to the album right now. Sounds pretty good so far. It's definitely NIN, but Trent seems to have evolved, which is a good thing IMO.

The Fragile didn't grab me, but by then I was out of my teens. With Teeth failed to interest me as well. However, I heard the advance tracks from this album and I liked them, so I've been looking forward to this one.

Personally, I've always preferred Skinny Puppy... [more]

Cherry 7-Up is still around, unless those cans I've been buying at my local supermarket are five years old. Great stuff (although I imagine it'd be better to just add grenadine to regular 7-Up or Sprite).
