    ....interesting. Even more so if it's not a zombie game. So tired of big-title "horror"=zombies lately.

    I'm from California and I have what I'd call an odd mix of liberal and right-wing. Mostly, I don't consider myself specifically party related, since my views on issues crosses into both territories, so to speak. I don't like being pigeon-holed into a political "party," either. One can be liberal in one area and very conservative in another. Hubby (also raised in CA) is more conservative in more areas than I am, but he's nowhere near what people think of when they say "Republican," either. 60km? I became tired just reading that sentence. ...I like being in good shape (and used to be so) but I am also so very lazy, as well as having a lot of back/knee injury and arthritis issues. Maybe it'd help with someone standing next to me screaming in my ear. Anyone want to volunteer?

    Thread pruned/pruning in progress. Accusing other members of being dense etc. because they have different opinions/expectations makes me frown. Let's try to stay away from that, please. And remember....you can always choose to not hit that reply button.

    Who said anything about them having to fight for you? They could be familiars. Sneaky little thief familiars with speed and stealth bonuses. They could look mostly like Earth cats and meow like Earth cats but not be Earth cats...in P.E.'s world, perhaps they bond with owners in some minor telepathic way or whatever, if you have the skill to create such a bond. eg, you can use the "it's a fantasy setting/not set on Earth so cats don't have to act exactly like cats on Earth" reasoning here just as much as you can for historical accuracy, combat, and lighting points.

    Those can be decent jobs. Had a friend who did that ... now he's the branch manager down in Texas. Which isn't to say you'd want to go that route. If you're good with people tho, it can be tolerable work. Hubs did the McD thing early on and became a shift manager while working on some schooling. He couldn't stand it either.

    I personally prefer the Lex look (and the sunglasses) but that 'stache (and hat) is pretty rockin' too.

    *Mr. Black walks/brushes by kitchen table* Notary lady: "Goodness that's a big cat. I'd say that's more of a leopard." Why do these documents always require about 40 signatures from you? Never enough to just have the big pile and sign it once or twice to acknowledge the whole shebang. Feels like if they could, there'd also be a signing ceremony with a pentagram and slicing of palms. At least it's finally done. And don't have to pay May's mortgage payment either. It was amusing to observe that my husband's thumbprint is about twice as big as mine. Time for some tacos and then some playtime.

    Now there's this. Sunflowers and what appears to be a hanging man in front of some austere building. https://vine.co/v/bFldAQgTIr6

    @Humanoid - I can understand those types of concerns/considerations. It is more work to create fleshed out companions, which is generally more preferable than mindless combat followers. I'd certainly prefer them to focus on the game/world itself over companions if it came down to that. There's just something about being "alone" in a vast RPG game that I find a bit off-putting tho...one of the things I didn't like about MW. Then they put companions in Skyrim and I didn't like the ones they made/how they did it, vs. something like Kotor's or even FNV. :/ So they do need to be done well, or not at all.

    I learned a new word today! "Gurning." See, the internet is useful! ...and I liked Ecclestone (how do you even pronounce that name anyway). Not as much as the other two, but for some reason I did.

    Love those mountain shots. Also....20 yr. old cat. My last kittah lived to be about that old. He'd old-man dodder around, sleep in his basket...very sweet. @Malcador - haha...I used to collect pens. Not "collect" ... I just liked having lots and lots of pens. So my drawers would look like that.

    I demand fuchsia colored crates and rainbow hued plumes.

    Haha, love that graphic strip. Too true...

    I like companions in my rpg's tho...so I'd still like to at least be able to have one or two followers. Doesn't have to be a full party. And can be optional/mostly option, like FNV. I'd like an RPG that felt a bit more sandboxy, too...but not in the same way as the Elder Scrolls games. I'm not sure I could describe what I mean/want, very well, however.

    I know....I just ate too many in one sitting. Heh. I've always annually bounced around in weight a little, usually not a big deal...but the past year or so I've gone a bit past what I consider tolerable. Too much eating out again. So trying to be more careful about what/how much I eat. Not a strict diet per se. Sometimes it's just hard to keep myself from eating "just one more". Also, it's past 4am and here I still am...didn't drink any caffeine after 3pm either. Sigh. Guess that notary will get a bleary eyed stare and stuttering penmanship.

    That's what the "S" really stands for! I know the problem with Superman being too powerful and that isn't cool anymore, but I still like him.

    *struggles to load/watch the trailer* ... Why does YouTube suck so much lately. Goes from 32KB/sec to 400KB/sec and back and forth and stop and start half the time. Anyway...I like that trailer best so far. Still a little too "new skool/serious" for my tastes, but I might enjoy it.
  18. LadyCrimson
    ... I was going to make a silly joke here, but I think I shall refrain. ... But I know what you mean. I've never done anything remotely on the level you probably are, but ... yeah. I've been there in spirit. :D edit: clarification

    Benedict Cumberbatch, will you marry me and be part of my ever-growing male harem? No? .... darn. In other news ... legal notary visit tomorrow, so I guess I better get to sleep before 4am this time. Also...after being pretty "good" diet wise the past month and losing 4 pounds, today I ate too many mini-chocolate donuts. *hangs head*

    Ugh...earthquakes. I know a little about them since I'm in Calif. We can grow to be blase about all the little tremors but it's always something in the back of your head. And a 7.8 too. Hopefully the casualties will remain low as they figure things out.

    I liked the 1st season, but then lost interest early in the 2nd. It just became too many plot strings with too little time spent on each one. I don't tend to like neck whiplash shows. Also, I learned that The Wall stuff still hasn't been dealt with much even in the books, and that was largely the string I was interested in. There were three Dr.'s where I watched a number of their episodes. Tom Baker (still my fave), Christopher Eccleston, and David Tennant. Just the other day I believe I saw my first one with the current/most recent Dr. He seemed ok. But overall I haven't followed that series too much. I find it difficult to in the States...altho it's easier these days than it was in the 70's.

    First thought that crossed my mind: I can't believe we're up to "Update #50" already. Has it really been 6 months since the KS?

    Saw Django Unchained. The first half had me in stitches. Christopher Waltz is da best. Not usually into slapstick but that head-bag scene was hilarious (and largely the only straight slapstick in the film). The 2nd half was still good, just not quite as much. Were/are they setting up for a sequel or something, because it sure felt like it. DiCaprio was good in his role too, altho by the end I had my usual issue with feeling like he just isn't quite up to the task. He gets really close, but not quite there. Maybe it's his voice, not my personal preference. My husband's quote: "All that film needed to top it off was a Steve Buscemi rant." Anyway, A for the first half, B for the 2nd half and A++ for Mr. Waltz.

    Sci-fi with different planets and ship travel. No, I don't mean KOTOR3. Something original/new. Not apocalyptic or fantasy-magic and preferably no zombies. Not that those are bad things, it'd just be nice to have something that felt different again. Maybe something more like Blade Runner in world atmosphere might be interesting, but a little less dark.

    Game of Thrones takes more than half the novel to start to get into it. I felt the same way but stuck it out and by the end desperately wanted the 2nd book. But at the time, I still had almost a 2 year wait or something, and by then I'd forgotten most of it. Didn't want to re-read it and figured I wouldn't get the sequels without doing so. So never went back.
