Yes, the main picture is Bruce Wayne as he appears in Arkham City and he looks surprisingly like Sterling Archer from the show Archer.

Looks like he's in the...DANGER ZONE.
I apologize, I have yet to play the game(I do want, just a lot of other stuff on my list)
 
Yeah I had only watched the time stamped bit of the video when I replied. As soon as I watched from the beginning I realized it was from his show.
 
There's a Louis CK movie/show of some sort on netflix, in case you hadn't checked there. Haven't watched it yet, but I've heard good things...
 
I've never understood why people get so bent out of shape for having to restart their computer when certain updates come through.

Because I've set up a carefully crafted workspace on my system that has many programs open with many pieces of data. This workspace "lives" for days and sometimes weeks at a time, and restarting means rebuilding it all. This usually handles 2-3 client projects at a time, involving hundreds of webpages, a dozen programming projects, a few dozen file system/terminal/etc windows, and a bunch of other programs and documents.

Once set up, I can work pretty quickly and efficiently task-switch between different projects. Once destroyed I lose about an hour or two in the first day or so as I rebuild it as I work on things again. Since it's a variable environment I can't simply set up a window manager to open things on startup. The longer I work with a given workspace, the faster I get at manipulating it (right now it's small - two screens and 4 virtual desktops on this computer - the other computers are turned off at the moment, but I'll be powering them up later today for testing).

So, yes, first world problem, but I do generally hold off on restart-updates until I actually need the update, or the system needs to be restarted for some other reason. It's annoying and if I added up the time wasted and based it on the time I charge my clients it's costly, but it's not really a bad issue. Fortunately many of the programs I use do keep track of their workspace, such as firefox (History --> restore previous session), xcode, and visual studio. Wish the same was true for all the other bits and pieces I use...

It won't matter as much with Windows 8 and OS X Lion, though - all the software built to take advantage of those OS's will come back up in exactly the same state they were in prior to restarting. It will be a much more appliance-like situation.
 
Well thats fair Adam. You have a workspace that is not exactly... the norm. Bitching because you have to re-open firefox and winamp is pretty much the extreme end of white people problems.
 
the best is when adobe pdf updates and goes

restart plz

and keeps asking you till you have to kill that process

then it comes back an hour later

want to restart?

want to restart?

waaaant tooooo restaaaartttt?

iTunes. It needs a restartable update every 14 or seconds.

Hey, are you tanking a raid boss in WoW while listening to music, by the way, I NEED TO UPDATE RIGHT NOW! AND I WILL MINIMIZE YOUR UNIMPORTANT BULLSHIT TO TELL YOU!
