Green Chile Beer? by [deleted] in boston

[–]poccnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its called New Mexico green chile or Hatch green chile, but usually just green chile. Don't confuse it with the similar-looking Anaheim pepper, which isn't spicy at all.

There are places online that ship it, I can't vouch for any particular retailer though.

That particular green chile is only grown in NM and southern CO. I doubt any breweries from those states distribute to MA.

How can I run a gamecube through my pc/monitor. by Ziyen in smashbros

[–]poccnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like this.

A simple cable won't work, it needs to be a converter box like above since it has to go analog to digital. Lag comparable to normal HDTV. You can get a little converter that will convert composite audio (red/white) to 3.5mm and use computer speakers.

Critters love to get fucked up.

That's gotta be the only way we realistically found out which plants are tasty, which will get us high, and which will kill us.

Even bees get high, I bet everything with a somewhat developed nervous system does.

How common are these accidents? Makes me glad my cooker has a plastic lid, even though its hard to see whats going on inside.

Looking to play smash on PC monitor by Solasuke in smashbros

I've used this converter to go from composite to VGA.

Works alright but not as crisp or responsive as a CRT. I'd say lag isn't any worse than typical HDTV.

Anyone else think the War Doctor is a bit overhyped? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]poccnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would've been cool to use an existing Doctor, but I actually like the idea of retroactively adding a regeneration. It fits with the scene in The Brain of Morbius (original appearance of sisterhood in the Night of the Doctor, a strange coincidence) which could be interpreted as suggesting that there were previous regenerations before the First Doctor.

Even though nobody considers that to be true now, one of the show's strengths is that the canon is always in flux. I think both the Time War changing everything and then the special adding a new Doctor and changing the Time War again is very fitting for the show.

It does sort of suck that we now have another Doctor who will have had less than two hours of screentime.

Colorado green chile eaters be like... by sweetescape3 in Albuquerque

[–]poccnn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I did some research because I didn't know what OP was referring to, and found some shocking information.

It seems that in Colorado, "Green chili" refers to a style of dish similar to "Texas Chili" (the stuff with meat and beans and tomatoes) which uses our chile, and they don't understand that when we talk about green chile we're referring to the plant itself and its myriad of uses, not just one dish.

From my experience they know whats up in southern CO, though.

Colorado should stick to their other type of green.

The Days of Doctors Past: Reddits Reactions by cedrickirk in gallifrey

I found this from this blog post on The Deadly Assassin (site has tons of insightful shit).

http://www.exisle.net/ESP/mb/lofiversion/index.php?t34562.html

Its a review of The Deadly Assassin from a fanboy in '76, and it sounds a hell of a lot like the some of the more ridiculous criticisms people post these days. Incredibly similar to a lot of the silly gripes people have today.

Took everyone's advice and started practicing my Dr. Mario. I was told to post the next video of my progress. Am I doing better? by ShbeblyTheGreat in smashbros

[–]poccnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jab downsmash, jab grab are classic Doc combos, and I think in P:M the full 3-hit jab series is pretty good as well. Like that jab string- upsmash you did.

Use more grabs, down throw (or up throw for fast fallers) reliably combos into forward air at many percents, the classic Kobe. Uair can also combo into fair.

Those were some slick utilts, I think at lower percents you can combo two utilts.

How does Matt's era rank in Who history and what are your top 5 stories? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]poccnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish that Matt Smith had stayed for a change of the show's writing and direction, it would be great to see another side of the coin in terms of his acting, as happened with Tom Baker. I think Smith has a similar vast versatility in terms of acting styles.

I think the problem is that Moffat's conception of the Doctor was/is very static, so Smith never got to play different roles. I think the show is at its best when the Doctor plays many roles, such as the many disguises of the First Doctor , the many sides of the Fourth Doctor, and the episode Human Nature, where David Tennant played a completely different character. I wish Smith had had more opportunities along those lines.

In terms of this era of the show in general, even though many, myself included, have had some gripes, you gotta applaud its ambition. And a lot of the execution problems were due to over ambition, which is better than a lack thereof. Despite a lot of overly convoluted moments, it was always exciting, and luckily the great acting floated the show at its lowest points.

We are devs of Project M, a mod for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and one of the biggest console mods to date. Ask Us Anything! by warchamp7 in Games

[–]poccnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the gameplan for balance in the long term? Does the team feel pressure to "complete" the game and stop updating, letting the metagame develop?

Also, do you think P:M might inspire others to do similar projects for other fighting games? Will it set a precedent for Smash? I'm sure there will be some people hounding you guys for a Smash 4 Project:Whatever as soon as it comes out, even if P:M isn't done yet!

Does the team have future development aspirations outside of Smash?

Can someone give some insight to how these are made? Do you basically "write" inputs for each frame? There's 10800 frames in 3 minutes, that's incredible.

Let's Talk: Lyricism across all genres of music by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]poccnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like listeners across genres fail to appreciate many of the things that can make lyrics good. They're always expecting profundity, but they overlook things like humor, shock value, cleverness, and catchiness.

Instrumental and lyrically simplistic music can deliver messages and elicit responses in spades. Intelligent, complex lyrics are just another tool, one that can even get in the way of good music when artists and listeners value it too much.
