I've got a bit of good news that I just feel like sharing. It's nothing big, just something I'm excited about. Recently, I've joined a group of wargamers that are making a big effort to completely redesign the Warhammer 40k tabletop game. I've pitched in to help redesign the Chaos Space Marines, and so far my ideas and advice seem to have a lot of gravity with the head designer. The group has no professionals as far as I know, but we know what works. Since GW can't seem to do much right, we took matters into our own hands.

@Iron
Cool, good luck with the remixing! Hope the project works and is free of C&Ds!

So in two hours of browsing internet my galaxy s4 has gone from 100 to 39% battery.

I think I need either a new battery or a new phone.

Anyone see the new 3ds? Not sure if I'm fan of that second stick, I guess it'd make it easy to hit the buttons at the same time but still it's incredibly tiny.

At this point I think nintendo has a fetish for not putting the stylus back where it was on the DSi.

I have one of those. It gets a lot mandatory worthless programs running, so I'd suggest going to the programs list and deactivating them (because you cannot uninstall them). There's AT&T navigator, yellow pages, some travel programs, some weight loss and exercise programs... just a lot of obvious trash. All of them run constantly.
Get rid of everything you don't want and it'll probably increase the battery life. The "Active Aps Manager" widget helps, too. Select it, go to ram status and clear memory from time to time.
I imagine one of the growing advantages of an iPhone is a lot less mandatory sponsored crap getting automatically installed to run in the background.

Is your screen's brightness all the way up? That can be an issue.

Other than that swicked is right, those things have tonnes of bloatware. Some of which you can't even disable. 

Edit: Yeah I saw the new 3DS and its pretty cool although kind of a dick move with the improved processor and new buttons that will make the new handheld have some exclusives...

[Harmony Ltd.]

All bloatware has already been eradicated for a while, and I'm always running at minimal screen luminosity. Plus I always close any app I'm not using and regularly clean the ram.

It's just that the S4's battery is under-sized compared to the average consumption of the device, and it (battery) having gone through more than 400-450 complete charge-discharge cycle in less than a year has probably seriously impacted its health.

Li-ion batteries don't like heat or beeing deeply discharged / discharged at too high a rate, two things this device provide in quantity.

[iLateralGX]

I see. Maybe a new battery will help then.

I can only speak from experience but on my S3 after a while the phone just became a battery hog and the only thing that fixed it was flashing a new ROM. Cyanogenmod (which is very close to stock Android) was much better on my battery than Touchwiz ever was. Even then over the course of about a year I needed to reflash Cyanogenmod because it became unstable and horrible to my battery.

I love Android but they can seriously be a pain sometimes.

So, for those it may interest,

The Frigate that Lafayette used to reach the US and help it during the War of Independence has been rebuilt in the city where my current base is.

If there's a spot I'll try to visit it tomorrow for the second time (already got a few pics), and if I'm not blocked or some shit like that, I'll to be there next sunday when they'll launch it for the first time.

Also, on the above linked site, you should have dates and stuff for the tour it's going to do in American ports.

Luckily, I'm finally heading back to the rear after two weeks in the field even as we speak. I'm pretty sure I smell worse than the average person's asshole right now

You can get a circle pad pro for the buttons. I got one when I got monster hunter 3 and resident evil revelations (By the way even with the 20 dollar accesory it was still cheaper then it was on XBL or PSN) I just wish they were clear about what it is. Is it the 3DS2? Or is it simply like that upgrade you could get for the N64 that you only really needed for a handful of games.

The circle pad pro looks so shitty though. 

It's not a new console, they did the same thing with DSi (which there were a few exclusives for) however this time there are more buttons instead of just a better processor and more VRAM.

Holy crud, partway through chapter 18 and Max Cash is awesome. I love this guy :D

A bit on the fence with Charisma. She's fairly weak willed, very much a mad pony. I really want to know why she's working for this guy.

Gooooooooddamnit. Everywhere I look on this base, there's a mountain there. And every time I look, it gets closer. 

We fuckin' did it. Thirteen years we've been lighting up the mountains of Afghanistan with everything from M4s to JDAMs, and now we've pissed off the whole mountain race. That's why this brigade is stuck here: we have to defend America's southern border from the goddamn mountains. 

Oh, no one believed me, at first. Then this shit happened:

Shit that happened:

 

Those are fucking eyes. That mountain is making goddamn angry eyes. 

[Vinylshadow]

You pissed off the land

May whatever deity you worship have mercy on your souls

[Frost]

Of course, everyone knows mountains are evil, anyway. It goes all the way back to Greek mythology. Syciphus is pushing a boulder up a mountain. Why is there a mountain in Tartarus, huh? 'Cause that mountain was a fucking asshole, that's why. Where did the Gods live when they weren't smiting and/or raping mortals for no goddamn reason? Oh, yeah. On top of a mountain. 

They are a cruel people, the mountains. It's as if they had hearts of stone.

I think I'm starting to turn into Gavin Free. The other day, I told my mom I was gonna grab a banana for breakfast before I helped her around the house, and I couldn't think of the word for the fruit. I ended up calling it a "yellow peeler".

...but those are both real words.
Gavin would call it something more like a bandy anna or a mellish boomafruit.
