In English, "putting your foot in your mouth" means you said something that makes you look like an idiot.
This leads to the adage "a closed mouth gathers no feet."

I have my Automatic Updates set to download the updates, but not install them until I give the go-ahead; since the shutdown menu gives you the option to have the updates install, then power off when finished, I almost never have to think about them.

It's 'pokemon', or more accurately ポケモン. The é is there to let the normal English speaker know that it should be pronounce 'ay', like café. However, the original japanese word would be 'pokemon' in romaji, so the accent is unnecessary.
Besides, most people I know pronounce it 'pokimon', so their attempt at instruction seems to have failed. :)
Technically, shouldn't a direct adaption from Japanese be Pōkémon?
I pronounce it Pokémon with the accent and it always annoys other people. When I try to ecplain why it's actually pronounced like that, their brains seem to turn to mush. Doesn't anyone know what accents are anymore?
It's supposed to be a contraction of "Pocket Monsters," anyway...

one of the most addictive games ever made, now in prettyfied 3D and more awesometastic?
Diablo II was liquid crack, and Blizzard figured out a way to put it in an inhaler.

I'm getting a desync right when you go in through the window the first time... Banjo jumps onto the bed, but he doesn't get the Jinjo, and then he gets stuck in the corner.

I'm more interested in supercapacitors than advancing battery technology.
Take this thing, for example: http://www.colemanflashcellscrewdriver.com/
It doesn't last as long as a regular lithium-ion battery, but it charges in 90 seconds.

You might want to hit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, if only for the Arms & Armor section. It's like browsing a shop in Diablo II. Everything you can think of, they have. They also have the world's most valuable handgun.

I played this game as a kid when the TG16 came out. There was a demo at the mall.
It is a platform game, you play as a really cool looking robot and destroy things... That is about all i can remember.
Oh! The caracter looks like some sort of power ranger robots.
Any ideas y'all?
It wasn't Keith Courage, was it? That's the only TG16 game I can think of with a guy who looks like a Power Ranger.

This discussion reminds me of this.
I remember one time I was playing California Speed in the arcade... I was flying down a straightaway, at top speed, when I saw a car SCREAMING up behind me on the radar. It must have been doing over 300MPH when it went by me, and the wheels were smoking. Sometimes racing games just don't want to lose.
Tried it a whole bunch of times and it just doesn't seem to want to work.
