Guard Dog

I played II years ago and loved it. Even though it is dated it's still fun. I played III briefly and like it a lot too. Never did the campaigns but I will this time. I heard it came off the rails in IV but V was good. Opinions vary on VI

I'm playing Heroes of Might & Magic II, then III, then IV, then V, then VI. That should keep my busy for awhile.

Well the Bucs have the number 1 pick in the draft and two quarterbacks to choose from. This has happened before you know. Peyton Manning & Ryan Leaf back in the 1990's. They were both considered equal talents and there was some real debate over which the Colts should choose. Manning is going into the Hall of Fame, Leaf just got out of prison. Just a few years ago we had Luck & RG3. Luck has become one of the elite QBs in the league, RG3 has been hurt more than healthy and his career is on life support. Now we have Mariota & Winston (assuming he declares). One will go on to great fame and glory, the other will flame out into ignominy. But which? Ugh.. I hate this. Just for once couldn't they both turn out good?

Ok, am I the only one who saw that thing and thought it was a bong?

49ers have confirmed, Harbaugh is gone.

Today I split firewood, changed the oil in my truck, walked down to the river and just watched it roll by for about 45 minutes. Then watched football and made bbq chicken on the grill for dinner. Lady GD has to go in to work early so I'll pour a drink or two and catch the Bengals - Steelers game on the radio on the front porch.

Hmmm they have release the movie, it's a success because people believe it's their patriotic duty to see it. These are people who would not have gone to see it otherwise. Hmmm... the conspiracy theory doesn't sound as nuts as it did a week ago.

Screw torture, use this to interrogate terrorists.

One word my friend... booze. It's inexpensive, legal, and easy to get. It's not a long term solution (at least it shouldn't be) but it will get you through the holidays. A long time ago I was where you are. No job, no friends and going through a bitter divorce. I got through it by getting really drunk and watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 and playing a lot of Baldurs Gate. That got me through Thanksgiving and Christmas with relatively little depression. Then on January 1st I put the cap on the bottle, took the tape from the VCR and started living life again. You don't want to be that way forever, you'd probably end up shooting yourself. But it can get you through a "rough patch" with it.

It was a great an relaxing Christmas with the wife and dogs. Wouldn't have traded it for anything. I hope you all enjoyed yours as much.

I used to think none of ya'll were real. Then one day my hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. When I signed on with the new one you were all still here. I realized you all WERE real after that.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope it's all you hope it will be!

Just saw that Joe ****er died yesterday. That's a bummer.

No kidding? Well happy birthday. I'm drinking a toast to you right now. It's coffee, but the thought is what counts.

Grom is right, using Santa as leverage to make the kids cooperative has to be the icing on the cake

I have a project e-meeting at 8 AM, Central time. After that I'm done... literally for the rest of 2014.

What? Two pages into a Bioware thread and Volurn hasn't posted yet? Ok, I'll come back later. I haven't played it and I'm not gonna so I got nothing to add myself.

There is more to the story though. First the guy tries to kill his girlfriend, then shot the cops, then shot himself. This is more a nutjob incident than a cop-killing political statement. However it would be reasonable to assume all the anti-cop sentiment that is being stirred up is a contributing factor. Personally I commend this jackass for what he did, he did the right thing if only he'd done the last thing first.

You'd be posting from Folsom Prison if you did! Thanks Gromnir,I'll have that song stuck in my head all day now because of you! That also worried me initially but then Gromnir says later he didn't really shoot a man You're probably too young to get the reference Bruce. That's from an old Johnny Cash song. That Gromnir quoted it and I laughed at it just shows our age!

That shouldn't surprise you, I report you regularly. Most of your posts are drivel and a few have been terribly inappropriate for a corporate-run forum. Thanks for sharing. Bah, everyone should have a warning or two even I've had one.

I just poured my favorite adult drink: Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve real Kentucky bourbon. Three fingers in a clean lowball glass with two ice cubes. I'll have one while responding to e-mails, reading the news and talking to you fine folks. Then likely another taken in my rocking chair on the porch listening to the night sounds and looking at the stars. But I'll stop at 2. Actually if I could do that every night for the duration of my time on earth I'd have no complaints.

Congrats Calax! You've worked really hard to get to this.

If this whole thing is a publicity stunt then it would be one of the greatest of all time. This movie had box office bomb written all over it. Trust me, the only way someone was going to see this is if they sat in the wrong theater by mistake and didn't feel like getting up again. No everyone wants to see it. If they wait a week or two and release it it will be a huge success... for a week or two at least. But it's not a stunt. Sony is not THAT smart.
