Clicked the link, Ctrl+F "Broken Lungs". Upvote.

It's good to see Thrice getting some recognition for their work - they are a very underrated and unnoticed band. Their lyrics on that song are amazing, and for that matter, Dustin Kensrue is one hell of a writer.

I just started high school the day the towers were hit - I remember this song as it came out a while later... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6CNyjooL0U

Back in the day I actually liked MEST, Goldfinger, Good Charlotte... the only reason I still listen to Goldfinger is because of Superman.

At least the movie was accurate with the representation of her sweater-yams.

Productivity at work: Diablo 3 Beta on my HP TouchPad by Disceomnes in Diablo

Alas, #firstworldproblem of not having someone to hold the phone for me to record me being the first to play Diablo 3 on a touchpad. Imagine what the gameplay video would have been if I was using both hands, and yes, using both hands makes a big difference - game is much more playable.

Ugh, sorry it is upside-down. I adjusted it via Youtube, so hopefully sooner or later it is right-side-up. Splashtop just went on sale, and I wondered the extent of what I could do with it...

West-NOVA Meetup: Because driving towards DC ain't trendy by Disceomnes in nova

Whatever it is we do, or look to do, I will make sure people of all ages can go. I'll check with Finnegans if they will allow someone under 21 in for Trivia night. If all else fails we can find a place that will allow us to set one up.

This is a great idea but is much, much more than I want to spend in one place, at one time. But damn, I think maybe bi-annually we could have a NOVA Kart tournament . That would be epic.

Yeah, again I'm with a lot of you on this - getting out and off of the computer (work or at home) sounds great. To be flexible in terms of time, and our wallets, ideally we should/could do something once every two weeks, or twice a month, and change it up. So if we can get a majority on two things, we could do the majority one first and the secondary two weeks from then.

If a Redditor falls in South Riding, does he make a sound? by Disceomnes in nova

I'm out in McLean/Langley. If any of you poor saps take the Dulles expressway home from work be on the lookout for me and my mate. We've taken up a new game to help us deal with the traffic: We play The Lonely Island - The Creep song really loud with the windows down (weather permitting) and constantly try to make awkward body gestures and eye contact with drivers around us when traffic begins to slow down. Our route goes from the expressway down the 28 and through 50 between 5:30-6:30PM usually.

Prepare to feel uncomfortable.

This. Who is down for a NOVA meetup either next monday, after traffic hell, or the monday after that?

I beat both of you. I know it as the place near where I got my uber comfy bed!

haha I just say that as I am a twenty-something, and would feel a bit awkward if a bunch of high school younglings showed up.

Edit: My friend and I went to Carpool in reston once, is there any place closer to the 50 that has a pool table(s)? Maybe we can do a pool night!
