I know this is one of many topics that can be touchy and tempers may flare, but perhaps we could try discussing differing opinions without behaving as if intelligence-slurs etc. are actually debate points.

Only my mother could make salmon and red snapper in a way that I liked them. Although I do like smoked salmon, if it's the more dry kind vs. the super-moist kind. I have no idea what's for dinner tonight, since I didn't feel like cooking. One of those fend for yourself times I think.

Walking Dead - omg, Denise Crosby! ....and the obvious Terminus scenario is obvious. Of course, they could be just be messing with our minds, making it seem so.

"This is Planet Earth! You're looking at planet Earth! Bopbopbop bopbopbop!" ...if it helps get the housework done...

Yeah, we can understand that. ...yeah yeah.

Until you want the patch....

Finally feeling like I need a bit of a break from Banished ... which leaves me once again staring at the Steam pages without really knowing what I'm looking for. Which means in the end, I'll probably just go back to Banished. Or Dungeon Keeper. Or Caesar3. Although, I've kind of had an urge to install the first early version of Planet Explorers and dig another underground fortress...

This combo doesn't sound like my belly would approve.

I didn't find it surprising, because I was familiar with the comics up to a certain point. There's a similar plotline in them and it was easy to see that's where they were going in the TV series. But it was nice they didn't wimp out at the end and they did it very well ... it might have been cool if they'd switched it around, but at the same time I suppose that wouldn't have had the same shock value for most.

That was a really long .gif to sit through, but with the IceAge reference, it was worth it.

That ball-bomb launcher is really interesting...

Visiting my fave Red Sox blogs again and starting to think about baseball.

I miss my stuffy Templar sidekick. He made me giggle.

Mentally distracted a lot lately. One big situation I've been dealing with for a while, a couple more recent smaller ones, all potentially life altering in some way, mostly emotionally but also other ways. I know I'm being vague, not ready to be less vague. Some days it catches up and feels like swimming through taffy. Like staring at pad of paper because you were going to write a simple grocery list and then realizing you haven't written anything for 20 minutes. I mean, that happens to me occasionally anyway, but now it's happening a lot more often. At least the days have continued to be quite nice. I bought some more live-catnip pots for the windowsill. Some people have window gardens full of thyme and basil or whatever ... I have catnip.

It's weird how I can enjoy running around a game firing gunz and tossing grenades, but somehow mayhem with tanks and planes and all of that interests me not at all.

The youtube embed still-image is hilarious and made me lol. Looks pretty generic MMO-wise, but who knows. It might be fun(ny) to run around with that sword. Maybe. Can't really tell much from a trailer like that. Nice scenery...

I'll see your tank army and raise you my genetically mutated super-cat army... Don't think I'd be interested in a tank MMO. A general MMO I might at least look at. Tank type games, not my thing. Which is fine...I don't have to be into every game Obsidian wants to make, in order to love Obsidian for the games they make that do fall into my areas of interest. I wish them luck, and I'll still be curious about previews and stuff.

I grew up then, so yes, I was around. But I didn't listen to hard rock/heavy metal that much. Def Leppard's Pyromania, Sammy Hagar, a bit of Van Halen, few Judas Priest hits, that sort of thing. I was more into the "new wave". That one Quiet Riot song is all I really heard/saw on MTV all the time and I didn't buy their album. Most 80's collections will just have that one song, so it's just what I joke. I think I have heard the Metal Health song before, tho. P.S. - I'm 45, btw. By the mid-late 80's I actually stopped paying a lot of attention to the music scene in favor of other stuff. Which is why I'm stuck in the 80's half the time. :D

HBO typically costs an extra $18-$20 a month. Sometimes if you haven't had it in a while they'll give you one of those "$10 for first year" deals. But considering cable (with AMC access) usually runs $60-100+ a month (depends on area, company, package, HD or not etc), plus any on-demand rentals you may also accrue, many don't want to pay the extra for stuff like HBO/Showtime/Starz, especially these days.

I feel that way about armor-helms in most games. Plus with those I can't see the faces, which in some games I may have spent a lot of time in the editor "creating." Or in 3D, they have hair-clipping issues. Hats - I like funny hats, or elegant hats. And at least I can usually still see their face. Of course, less important (graphically) in a game like PoE. But still, I want to rock those feathered hats....

GoT is a subscription-cable HBO series, which probably makes its (original air) viewings less than TWD simply for access reasons. I don't think I'd take it as TWD actually being more "popular" than GoT. Not that I'm a ratings expert.

...ah, those 80's "hard rock" fashions - and 1 hit wonders. Still good for a hyper day, tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2A6ItHeFus

I've hardly spent anything on service on my Subaru Legacy in the past 15 years, outside of oil changes, tires and a new battery now and then. But I also haven't been a "typical" driver for the past 10.

I like the solo/chr. building/story episodes, but they do tend to drag them out too long. TWD is definitely very uneven but I still like it overall, so I still tune in even as sometimes I'm rolling my eyes. GoT is the one that got boring to me, fast. Not my style at all. Well, except for Peter Dinklage as Tyrion. He was awesome.
