It's one of the standard plates. You can choose this plate instead of the one you posted without any additional fee. You have the option to pay $45 to personalize it but you don't have to.

Not sure about the second game, but when you beat the first one it would tell you how to unlock hard mode. And if you beat that, it would tell you how to adjust your max health and starting lives so you could give yourself even more of a challenge.

It's a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.

This article starts by saying it's a "local Indianapolis grocery store" and then says it's in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.

No, the studios probably don't think it's a good idea.

Vin Diesel really loves Riddick. It's his passion project. Universal was willing to let the franchise die after two films but he wasn't, so he did a cameo in Tokyo Drift in exchange for the rights to the franchise. Then he independently raised funds for the third film and fronted a bunch of his own money, going so far as to mortgage his house to keep the production afloat.

I'm sure it's the same with this fourth film. The series was never all that profitable so the studios wouldn't push to make another one. It's gotta be Vin Diesel pushing to have it made because he personally deeply cares about the franchise.

No worries. You had the spirit of the story basically right even if you had the details wrong.

You're probably thinking of the Pentagram from Virginia.

For millions of years, human teenagers were actually unable to decline any invitations from strangers. It wasn't until the 1980s that Nancy Reagan made the most shocking discovery in the entire history of human psychology. Teenagers could, in fact, just say "no".

The initial wave of attention probably would have happened anyway, but when it was later revealed that the school had paid a bunch of money in an attempt to get the images removed from the Internet that just brought a second wave of attention to the incident.

TIL about the gameboy accessory that gasses kids to sleep for surgery ( www.destructoid.com )

A new piece of medical equipment is being tested right now called the Pedisedate. Basically, it is a headset that is placed on a child before they are admitted to surgery. The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996) and a...

I'm looking forward to tripping balls with Tarin in the Mysterious Forest.

I still constantly wrongfoot copy and paste regularly

What do you mean by this?

I see. Yeah, the end cursor can take some getting used to.

The thing that always messed me up when starting out was how deleting any text overwrites the clipboard. It was an odd quirk at first but I kind of like it now.

The final panels show Ron Paul's blimp finally approaching Washington DC. The balloon spotted on their radar is presumably piloted by blogger Cory Doctorow, as revealed in the next installment, Secretary: Part 4.

In November they did announce they were closing on Sundays due to budget cuts [1]. From what I can tell, that went into effect in mid-December [2]. The budget cuts were reversed last week [3]. So as far as I can tell, they were in fact closed for awhile.
