A psychological decision
Aural stimulation would be the thing that is most lacking in this situation. Because no electronics = no speakers, you would have to make noise manually. A player piano is mechanical, not electronic so you would have to do something along those lines. Remember the diameter of this room is only twice as long as your height, so this is a very small space.

Happy new year to Tip.It !
11:00 here, just got back from my sisters house. Couldn't drink because I was the only one who could drive. My nephews were getting tired so we had to leave early. It was kind of planned that way anyhow. When the New Year rolls around I probably wont even notice it, going to pop in a movie.

A psychological decision
You can get a clone of anyone. Meaning, if you want a clone of Jessica Alba, you would get one that looks exactly like her. She can't speak however. She would still be a female human. Anyways, I would easily take door A. No electronics is a big, big draw back to what my normal hobbies are, but I would still do it. If that hypothetical situation existed where we can get anything we want as well as a clone of anyone we want, I would volunteer to do it.

What movie(s) did you last see?
"Band of Brothers" - Good series, I was putting together a puzzle though so I pretty much just listened to 90% of it. Little Children - Eh, it was alright. Jennifer Connelley was hot.

What movie(s) did you last see?
National Treasure: Book of Secrets - It's the same as the first one. If you liked it, you will like this one. 3:10 to Yuma - As you know westerns aren't my bag. The end of this one was also spoiled for me. However, after those two big cons, the pros of this movie outweigh them. It's pretty good. The Man from Earth - An independent SciFi movie. The movie was absolutely amazing. Not for the production values or anything, those were actually kind of poor. Sometimes the acting was a little poor too. Just the story was great.

Good Cheap games
Well I would suggest buying older games, maximum amount of fun vs. amount you spend. Rather than picking up Oblivion, pick up the GOTY edition of Morrowind. You wont spend as much, and it has just as much game play (if not more, with mods and stuff). You can download graphics packs to make it look basically as good as Oblivion, if graphics are your thing.

Most useless X,mas present you have received this season....
You guys think socks are a useless present? You wont think that when you get older and are out in the work force, where a nice pair of socks makes working all day not as uncomfortable. EDIT: I didn't get any useless presents, maybe can consider one shirt I don't like useless. It's supposed to be an undershirt but is really uncomfortable. I'll find some use for it though.

Family Guy : Whats your verdict?
I still find it funny. It's not really a great cartoon, but it is entertaining.

Mobile Phones at the Cinema?
Haha, summary execution... I like ;) It's better than what I was going to suggest: drag them out into the street and shoot them. Daan's way saves time and energy by not dragging them anywhere, and also since they get shot in the neck they can't make much noise. It's much more efficient.

saddest movie ever
Hotaru no haka Vita ̮̬̉̉ bella, La Ladri di biciclette Those are probably the movies I came closest to crying during. Also should mention a few episodes of Futurama (dog one, four leaf clover one). A few romance movies probably could have made me almost cry also, but I have seen those a few times now and they don't affect me as much.

What movie(s) did you last see?
"The 10th Kingdom" miniseries - You can definitely tell this is a Hallmark channel movie. Strangely enough I did kind of enjoy it. The 7 hour runtime wasn't actually that bad.
-
What movie(s) did you last see?
Airplane II: The Sequel - Absolutely hilarious. For some reason I laughed a lot more during this one than the first one. The King of Kong - A documentary about the world record score on Donkey Kong. If you are into this sort of thing, I would suggest seeing it.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Do I need to see the first one before seeing this one?

What movie(s) did you last see?
Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Caught the last 2/3 of this one. Friend was watching it for the first time (he watched #1 earlier). Watched this not too long ago, so it was a little early to watch it again. I just don't like doing that. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - Same situation as above. This one however had eye candy (Claire Danes, Kristanna Loken) so I was mostly just watching them the whole time, and was enjoying myself.

Good at chess?/ Try this computer
The white pawn has taken two moves to get to that point though, can't make that in one move.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Liberty Heights - Any sort of movie about racism normally doesn't interest me all that much. I guess it's just because I can't relate. This movie was alright, nothing special. Little Monsters - (long story short, movie had nostalgic value. skip to second paragraph) Periodically, I would say once a year at the most, I will think about this movie. Not really think about it, just vaguely remember seeing it a long, long time ago and remembering two or three scenes. Well, I thought about it around three weeks ago, and thought about trying to find it. I didn't have much to go on though, so I never went through with it. I vaguely remember something about something under the bed, not liking light, and a beach at the end. If I would have asked someone would have known probably. Anyways, this last weekend I had friends over and we were IMDb'ing as I like to call it, basically moving from one actor/actress/movie/director/writer to another as we think of them, just browsing. Eventually got to Rick Ducommun (started that round at Charlie Wilson's War, then Tom Hanks, then The 'burbs, then him) and lo and behold, he was in Little Monsters. I didn't recognize the name, but my friends did (we scroll through the list and pretty much say what we've seen and if we would recommend it). I asked what it was, and as soon as he explained it I knew it was the movie. Anyways, onto the movie: It wasn't all that great. I almost gave up around 40 minutes into it. I never give up watching a movie, no matter how bad. I decided to stick it out, mostly to see if the end was like I thought it was. I can see how my memories remembered what they did, but I forgot pretty much everything else. I would not recommend this movie to anyone, unless of course it has nostalgic value to you. "Chuck" season 1 - Supposed to be a geeky show, but it isn't. It's fairly good, sometimes funny but I don't think I have laughed out loud yet. I'd say it's worth seeing just for Yvonne Strahovski.

Zero Punctuation: Hilarious Video game reviews
For some reason I can never get the search function to work. I just happened to kind of know what the title of the thread was, so just scanned back a few pages (page 3) and found it.
