Actually, it works for everything.
Aug. 1st, 2010 04:05 pmPROTIP: The second and third Matrix movies become a lot more watchable if you replace the voices of Smith and Neo with Batman and the Joker.
Smith: I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I really felt a certain(pumping motion) satisfaction as I watched you die. Then...something happened. Something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway: you destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterwards, I knew the rules, I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I had to stay, had to disobey. And now here...I...stand. Because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm not not part of The System. Because of you(points), I've changed. I'm...(gestures)unplugged. A new, apparently free man. (licks lips)
Neo: (rasps) Congratulations.
Fast-food salads can be just as unhealthy as burgers. If you really want to eat healthy, make sure to look up the nutrition information. What's best is making your own food. Even a ham sandwich with whole mayo is better for you than a Baconator.
If someone expresses a vehement opposition to your position on a personal, subjective matter, it can help to have the knowledge of where to find a large portion of their commissioned pornography.
Not that they make a secret of it, and by Rule34 standards it's practically missionary, but still.

I finally beat that Cerberus miniboss fight. According to messageboards, the secret involves grabbing the puppies and throwing them into the big ones. Or just grabbing them, and hitting the grab button again and again. This throws the puppy away from you, and if you time it right, you'll juggle them with your Blades until it's dead. Also, Posidon's Wrath is crazyhelpful, even if you don't rememember how to open that chest in the background. To summarize; Kratos kills puppies and you will like it.
If you don't have time to go to the full (that is, AJAX) version of GMail, simply bookmark https://mail.google.com/mail/h/ to use the HTML-only version. There's also a link at the bottom of the standard version that links to the older version, still using AJAX, which means that all the keyboard shortcuts and such are intact, but it loads much faster. I'm not sure if GChat still works, though.
Been playing Captain Forever.

By way of Pentadact.
Above are my best ships. That second one got me all the way to LAW 5, by exploiting a flaw in the AI; if two ships are shooting at you, and one gets in the way of the other, they will both continue shooting. Then you can just drag the relevant bits onto my ship before the survivor finishes going "Frank, NOOO!!!" and comes after me in righteous fury, scoot off to somewhere quiet, reconfigure, and then find another victim. Problem was, by the time I died (the second ship, more or less), I was absolutely outclassed by everything, meaning I had basically no offensive capability. Got to close to a ship, and boom.
PROTIP: The game has a strafe button, but you need to have horizontal thrusters to use it. Also, I'm fairly certain that's my first Protip actually about a game.
There is a show on TruTV called "It only hurts when I laugh!"
Do not watch it.
Ever.
If you happen to tape or TiVo it, delete it. Then remove the cassette or hard drive, have a priest dunk it in holy water, then douse it in gasoline and light it on fire.
Trust me on this.

"Batman the Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the Music Meister" aired tonight on Cartoon Network. If you did not see it, it airs again Saturday Morning at 10AM. If you can't see it, set your Tivo. Set your VCR. Set your friggin' Betamax. Just watch it.
GMail can recognize certain patterns in your email.
I had a filter set up so that when I emailed something from myself with a certain text string in the body, it would automatically tag and archive itself. After a couple times when I forgot to add the string, I found GMail was tagging and archiving the emails itself, recognizing a certain word I put in the title.
I don't know what conditions are needed to activate stuff like this, but I'm going to test its reaction to the word "Skynet".
