(Corrects to make clear the bill did not pass) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Wednesday failed to pass a bill to delay the nationwide switch to digital television signals by about four months.

The bill needed two-thirds of the votes of the House under special rules adopted for the vote.

Efforts to delay the transition date to June 12 from February 17 has been fueled by worries that 20 million mostly poor, elderly and rural households are not ready for the congressionally mandated switch.

President Barack Obama supports a delay, and the Senate passed the bill seeking a delay earlier this week.

Thoughts?

The FCC has been talking this up for the last year, and has made many steps to inform the public.  If you haven't figured it out by now, delaying the move for another few months isn't going to change that.  It's going to rile people up either way, might as well get it done sooner rather than later.

The Plasma Burn event was awesome! Fury is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Although the Gears 2 turnout was less than expected, we had a lot of fun. It was great to see all the Halo 3 players out. Man, those guys are dedicated.


I also got to watch some Smash and Soul Calibur. I def. respect those guys a lot more. Those games look REALLY fast paced and are exciting to watch.

Thanks to everyone that made this possible. I can't wait to see you all again.


Another lifelong fan, Sammy!  Sounds like you did a great job.

Just make sure you check. They may say that it's discounted but it's really not, so be careful. I saw that was the idea at the CompUSA closure- they "said" it was 50% off but it was marked up and then the "discount" made it the normal price. -_-

Exactly what I was saying. The only big discounts were on broken items that had been returned.

Yeah, there will be no deals to be had hear, unless you consider a retail beating a "deal."

PTD will be there working.  We'll probably take the church-van out in a super-mega-awesome-road-trip.  We might haul some of you people if you suck up sufficiently.

What do we need to do to make this happen, other than threatening people with bodily harm?

So... is it 18 to enter??

Insanely enough, it was 23 to enter!  We'll be having monthly reader meetups, the next one will be in a place that is less wacky.  I want to run up to Tulsa -- where should we go?

I am down, and I shall bring gravy.

Don't have an xbox or wii, but I'd love to come and meet more okgamers. I'm primarily a pc gamer kinda dude. Anyhow, this sounds like a good deal to me.

YOU BRING YOUR PC, FELLA.  THEY CALL ME "OL' TRACKBALL MCGEE".  GET OFF MY LAWN, ETC.

SO BURNING PLASMA DELICIOUSNESS! You can't help but want a little taste, but a taste is already too much. As we all well know Gravy is very addictive, perhaps the most addictive substance known to man. And this gravy BOILS! Fires deep within mordor licked the ancient cauldron it was smelt in. So, once you've had a taste, you can't have enough, and the more you have the more it burns your soul. Before you know it you're the broken, and charred remains of a man.

All I have to say is... Don't forget the ~$>#'in biscuits.

I love you people in ways that can only be expressed through a series of interpretative dances.

So for the 15 of you that aren't being constantly bothered by me on Facebook, we launched our film site last week.  It's here, and you can get the free movie passes (we've got some for you too, Tulsa) for super-minimal effort.

Yell if you have questions/want to make out with me.
