Nope, the big cover just came out of the wash for the first time in 2 years. The inside of the cover is mostly impermeable; the foam smells like foam.
The black corduroy one cannot be washed at all. I vacuumed it and put it in Kyle's room and am replacing with (newly refilled) nylon ones. Those can get wiped down.

Re: ICSP 2015
OK but seriously I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate shredded foam rubber. STATIC ELECTRICITY x 1000. Everything flies in all directions whenever you try to scoop / grab / sweep it together.
This project is because the interior liner of the Sumo bags were originally a cotton-ish material that, get this, apparently disintegrates over time into a horrid web that causes all the foam around it to attach to it, creating a terrible Sesame Street slasher flick bio mess.
So washing the cover stopped being tenable a few years back because foam explosion. I bought a new liner and transferred the salvageable contents, and have bought a refill bag of foam to replace what is stuck to the old liner.
Should give 'er a few more years of life to everyone's favorite seat.

Re: League of Legends anyone?
Also, if you've played or watched Dota 2, you likely noticed the banners and ingraved signs on the map that displayed the Dire and Radiant emblems or a teams logo if a pro/ranked match. It would appear that Riot is also implementing this feature into Summoner's Rift "Soon™".

Unstoppable Gorg(4.0 hours): This is the last game that Futuremark produced before the game side of the company shut down, the also made Shattered Horizon which I loved. This is a tower defense game but where the towers aren't towers they are satellites in orbit. The concept is really interesting because you have a limited number of spaces to place towers that make money or provide defense or research(which is pointless pretty much). How they get away with extremely limited placement spots is by allowing the user to spin all satellites in one orbit ring at a time, you have a predefined layered defense that you need to fill in the blanks. This is frustrating if you don't move your towers fast enough but the simple trick seemed that you should rely on only a few spots for defense towers and everything else is a support. Once you abandon any notion of how you would play a classical game of this style smooth sailing is on the horizon. You need to learn to relax in this game because the first 3rd of every map is letting the enemy get in close while you get resources built. Overall very fun and interesting game, would be nice to see another TD game use this mechanic.
This game is so retro with the elements. sploosh. You watch cut scenes on an old TV, get telegrams, punch evil aliens in the face for justice, and just want your sweet heart by your side. The level of detail in this is impressive because they use old movie clips with CGI and in house production to make all their elements. You get still images of newspapers that have important headlines, but the body of the story gives you snippets on cultural elements they used in the game and source materials for their derivatives. Aliens sure do hate Earth's freedom but if there is one thing I know Commander Atom can show them what for.

Re: House of Cards Season 3 - Are you ready?
The ending was a bit disappoint, I expected something huge that was hinted at numerous times during the season, and it never happened. What did happen was lackluster.
