Breaking Bad - yeehaw. Hank was awesome in this one. Good way to start the 2nd half of the season. Is it weird that I'm still sorta rooting for Walt even tho he's become what he's become? Not that I think he's a good guy anymore or anything, but I still think he's going to go down doing something that's almost an atonement. But not quite...just almost. Here's my guesses about Jessie:

A bit stormy today?

What an awesome name.

Well, damn. I was wondering how he was doing/hadn't heard anything for a while. I think I might go hug the spouse and blubber a bit, now. Also, what Rosbjerg said.

I kinda feel that way sometimes. That weird in-between world of novel and film, fitting neither. Or something. I'd probably prefer a method more like: The woman approaches, glancing aggressively around at you and your party as she speaks: "You'll have to pay for that!" 1. Ok, we'll pay 2. (Attack her) 3. (Run away) ....mostly because it feels like a more natural reading rhythm than a dialogue-line followed by separated [ action ] text. (edit) I refer to the set up line - the 1,2,3 choices don't matter to me since I consider them the given player options.

*scribbles note to self about how to get free stuff from Redbox* ...I stayed up way too late, fiddling with NW:online stuff. Namely, doing the longlong questline to get the free backpack bag for a couple alts. *yawn* Guess I'll take a nap, then spend time fiddling in BL2 with the spouse. And then ... Breaking Bad! I'm ready to see Hank go ballistic, or all Columbo-sneaky/snarky, or go into deep, deep denial. Whichever...yeehaw!

I like asterisks. ...but in a game environment, I don't really care much, as long as the grammar use or an overuse of tortured slang/cliched sayings/colloquialisms don't make my eyes bleed.

My snake-woman healing companion is cool/useful and all, but occasionally I have to let my panther and tiger spend some quality growling time together, lest I become cat-food.

Bought a dog for 20k AD. Figured that was cheap enough. It'll stay in my Bank stash until I figure out what I want to do with it.

Oblivion - better than I was expecting. At least it was interesting and not just a bunch of explosions. The first half was more intriguing than the second half, I often guessed the surprise/plot at least several minutes before they revealed it, and there were several moments where other movies kept coming to mind (Star Wars, 2001, Total Recall etc) but ... I liked it.

I do get a fair number of "kids" suggestions sometimes, because I like a lot of older Disney, cartoon series and/or youthful type films from my childhood. No MLP, tho. Separate account profiles are fine. I just don't want to be roped into anything social-networky w/out my actually clicking "I want it," like YouTube and half the internet keeps trying to get me to do. BRAIIIIIINNSSSSSSS!!! That's ... pretty awesome. They look ready to slice and fry up in a pan with some string beans.

Where are you getting that information? The early stuff showed outdoor areas as well as dungeons...the original games had tons of dungeon crawling (or cavern crawling) as well. But I'd agree that if it's largely akin to LoG, that'd be ... meh. And I suppose I wouldn't be surprised if the outdoor areas they were showing were largely minor transitional jogs from one dungeon to another, or something.

If I get more than one, I'll give you one. The green ones are already pretty cheap...but I haven't bought one yet. Not sure I even want one, really. Seems like just another reskinned version of the basic dog companion, and I don't have an Orc to co-ordinate with one. Curious tho...are there supposed to be blue wolves (rare I assume)? Or just green?

I saw an ad for the upcoming film "Jobs" - about Steve Jobs. I noticed Ashton Kutcher was going to be playing Jobs. I blinked for a second or two, then started laughing. I can understand why he'd take the role, and I'm sure he tries hard, but...I can't see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR6yMl2FZSQ

I really don't like it when Netflix greets me by my first name, as if some faceless website page using my name is going to make me feel all friendly-like. It makes me think of junk mail letters that insert your name every 5 words, just to creepily make sure you know that they know who you are and where you live. Also...seemingly new Netflix profiles. I take it they're taking more steps to try to become more socially networked. Blech. Or, it's just a way to differentiate between family members who use the same account. Not sure. The latter would be ok tho, I guess.

Took 4 sidequests to gain a bit over a half level, but we reached lvl 59 in BL2. My Siren's becoming awesome, w/all the DoT of the Phaselock, and a short timer. Finish off a few more quests on our list and then perhaps we'll just farm the Bunker until we reach 61...then the Tina DLC again. At this point the difficulty is plenty doable, but since a lot of things can put you down in 1-3 hits, it's still more hectic. Hence...more fun!

When it comes to games, at least, from what I've seen, I'd agree completely. I'm still holding on to a bunch of those skeleton dogs. I'm going to wait until those companion tomes are actually available before trying to unload them. I hadn't heard of the Orc Wolf companion ... if it's one of those variable rewards for this weekends event (where they didn't list the potential rewards at all) guess I'll have to buy one off the AH, since I won't be doing the event thingies. I hope they do ... especially if it means they'll never get rid of the LAN co-op option in future sequels.

Ooo, stash space on sale in NW:online. *hurries to run off to play BL2 instead, so I'll forget I read about and always like/want more stash space*

I like the one of Benedict, myself. And yeah...I get tired of the make-up/photoshop-perfect pics. I often wonder what they might look like in the morning/just puttering around the house. One of my fave things about my hubs is how adorable he is half-asleep with sleep-tousled hair. Well, he's posted the most pics ... probably not hard to "win" with that ratio. But yeah...he's posted a few that fit my tastes as well. Not the Bieber-wanna-be's, but a few others. This thread could use more non-Caucasians.

*bookmarks site in case she ever wins the Lottery* ...just imagine playing your favorite dungeon crawler game whilst sitting inside your own stone dungeon or tower. That would be awesome. Look forward to seeing the rest of the pics, when you're feeling better.

I love that GuardDog is happy. Plus, I finally got some decent sleep, so I'm pretty happy myself. I'm getting ready to hoof around a park for a while, before returning to make some dinner then gaming with the spouse. Altho, Oblivion (the movie) seems to be on VoD now, so we might watch that first.

@melkathi - don't know if I'd like their stats/skills etc. but the lizards look interesting.

I think this thread has lost its way...becoming something that has very little to do with "what type of evil options do you want in a game" and why you think it would add to the game...and more about debating/cataloging the general "which is worse" philosophy of certain heinous acts. While there's nothing inherently wrong with that type of debate, it is a topic that may be more suited to a Way Off Topic thread, if indeed it fits on these particular fora at all. At any rate...for the moment, I think this topic of evil in P.E. needs a brief rest.

If I was rich, I'd buy several acres of land and build my own small version of a castle. I'd want to live in it, so it wouldn't have to be full-scale/huge (not like I'd want to housekeep a real size castle). But it would have a couple of tower/tower rooms, stone walls I could walk on the top of, large inner "courtyard," a cat-stables, and preferably a moat and drawbridge to keep out the peasants. ...great pics, btw.

Cats, darnit. Cats, cats, cats. The entire forest should be teeming with cats, rats, and dogs of all sizes and colors, where the cacophony of all their meows, squeaks and barks, as they all constantly chase each other around trees, would break the most hardened eardrums. ...altho in a pinch, some cool cat coat-of-arms type stuff on those cloaks would at least be something. ....I wouldn't mind some horses or mules about, even if we can't ride them/use them as transport. Seems like there should be some kind of pack animal around in towns, at least. Helps with the atmosphere.
