Guard Dog

No argument here. But sadly there are some things once broken even the earnest love of a dog can't mend.

Go Cubs!

That is so right on. Good movies are good movies but Star Wars was something no one had ever seen the like before.

Watching the Jays/Royals game. It's tight so far

I took my dog Sunny to the vet to get her teeth cleaned. Since I didn't want to leave my other dog Tommy home alone so he & I sat on a picnic table outside Old Timers BBQ restaurant. I drank a big glass of unsweetened ice tea, he drank ice water and we split a basket of smoked brisket. No sauce for him though. Once we picked Sunny up she was intently sniffing both of us. She knew something was up!

Just played it for an hour and a half. Remember when I compared it to a ham sandwich? That was spot on.

Now that's got Men's Wearhouse beat coming & going.

Well the World Cup will be south of the equator. Watch Argentina go on and stun the world!

The identity of the new Sith lord has been revealed.

If someone is going to boycott a movie or a book because the directors might have a political agenda they don't like they won't be seeing to many movies or reading too many books. I figure if the actors can haul the water and the story is good who cares what they look like. When the actors suck, well it doesn't doom the movie but it sure hurts (looking at YOU Hayden Christensen).

Move along, /pol/ is having a slow day and have nothing else to do than to troll the SW-universe. Am I the only one than seem to lack any interest in the new movies? Maybe I am still in heavy denial after the prequels, those emotional scars will never heal :( Hey George Lucas is out of the picture so there is at least a fighting chance it will be good.

I know I've said this before but that lightsaber the sith guy is using is just impractical as hell. There is no way he is not missing a few fingers.

The Blue Jays ate their Wheaties today.

I found an awesome new beer from a local brewery. So far I've only had this one but it is REALLY good stuff: http://www.ghostriverbrewing.com/beer/seasonals/23-ghost-river-midnight-magic

How the hell do they figure this? They haven't even seen the movie yet? http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/new-star-wars-blasted-as-anti-white/

Jim Webb is considering an independent run. Either he is a fan of wasting other people money on Quixotic causes or he is seriously deluded about his chances. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jim-webb-to-consider-independent-presidential-bid/

I saw it during halftime of Monday Night football. Mike Tirico said "This is a moment you will never forget". Really? A movie trailer on a movie I won't even see till the directors cur comes out on DVD is that big a moment? Sheesh what a dull life HE must be leading! But it was cool though.

Thank you Grom! In my situation I have two choices, both unpleasant. But I'm not one for waffling and waiting wouldn't have made either more appealing so I made the choice and I'm dealing with what comes next. I don't have to like it, just have to do it. But I'm not above griping about it!

Thank you Gents but I'm cool really. That's the way it goes, things happen and you do what must be done to deal with them and move on. After all the sun will always rise tomorrow.

Yeah that is a good point. It got too "smart" for it's own good.

The biggest lesson I learned from playing PS:T is to never neglect the Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma type stats in an RPG. KOTOR II is a great example of a game where they matter.

Despite the technical glitches in the gameplay and control KOTOR I had a good story and decent characters and you didn't see the plot twist coming (be honest now, it you hadn't had it spoiled you didn't see it coming) and the different planets were all varied and nice to look at given the time it was made. Remember 2D isometric was still the standard at the time. KOTR II was the same except for the story. I was hooked, I was really into the story and I loved the premise and how you teased the backstory out in conversations. And of course it all fell apart. Cut scenes that made no sense, all these incredible villains whose story wrapped up in a way that leaves you say "that's it?" A short exposition with an antagonist that has absolutely no reason to tell you squat to tie up the story? It was 3/4 of a great game. Of course the story of what happened with KOTOR II is well known and no need to reopen old wounds by bringing it up again. Had Obsidian been able to make the game they wanted to make it would have been one we would be talking about for years to come (only in a good way). Instead it's... well it is just what it is. Just my $.02

It's a long story. Check your PM

I've been going through a bad time personally lately. I'm sitting here looking at maps of the US wishing I could just jump in the truck with the dogs and go. Not a good time though. But I think I am going to buy a camper for the back of my pick up truck.
