  1. btw, are you a mod? Also, links? For research purposes of course
  2. Why? Isn't that something to strive for? Or do you think the American way is what we should aim for? Agreed, more hours doesn't mean more productivity ...but on the flip side I used to work for a French company and they treated us non Euros like crap so **** those guys! Pardon my French
  3. Well, good thing modern air is too clean for optimum health
  4. Thanks, I never know which casino I'm in when I'm there PS I think weed is legal there now so if you or your father decide to partake and aren't regular users then please start small. We have so many people who come to Colorado and overdo it.
  5. I laughed way too hard at that
  6. Which place has the ice bar? I enjoyed that
  7. Nope I might do a trial of CBS All Access when all the Picard episodes are out but I doubt I'll resubscribe to it.
  8. Star Trek Online. I need to get better gear for my Tactical Romulan Captain but I'm not sure what items or sets to go for. I think my weapons and most of my consoles are good but I need to work on a better impulse engine, deflector, and shield
  9. I wouldn't call it even Bioshock inspired. It's Fallout and Arcanum inspired new IP as they've previously. Agreed. They may possibly share some similar art styles but BioShock didn't invent them
  10. Bought this I'm weak when it comes to Trek and hoodies so a Trek hoodie is almost an instant buy
  11. December 11 is the release date for 5.10 but it doesn't really matter for me as I only have one character that is done with all the story so far. Most of my characters ran out of steam in the KOTFE expansion and I don't like the auto-complete story choices. I think only my assassin is going to be able to go through the new content for quite a while.
  12. I'd be very surprised if this isn't the last season of Jessica Jones too. I think she snuck in there by already being deep into in production when they decided to start axing the shows PS I believe Agents of SHIELD airs on ABC first which is owned by Disney
  13. Vampire was their best game by such a huge margin.. I'd highly recommend you check it out. I might even have a few extra keys lying around collecting e-dust.
  14. Not Ramsey but I do love me some cooking shows
  15. Beef Wellington, mushroom risotto, and some roasted potatoes
  16. It's our 8th wedd'n anniversary so I'm trying to cook a schmancy dinner
  17. I tried to send it to you but your mailbox is full
  18. Didn't that exact same argument come up here on these forums? Spider milk?
  19. According to the twitter post it is Which twitter post? The only one I've seen is the one linked in this thread and I don't see any references to either of those things From draego's post and we know that Private Division is publishing the Cainarsky game so it must be it
  20. If you don't have access then you can have mine if you want
  21. Depends on the game but what comes to mind for me is the NBA 2K series. They started stretching out the game to add grind and then added the microtransactions to then skip the grind they purposefully added to the game. Then to take it even further they started removing features from the offline game so you had to play online, where they push you towards spending money, to play the fully featured game that you used to get out of the box for your 60 bucks. I'll counter that with an example where I think the mtx works or used to before the new lootboxes, Lord of the Rings Online. As a MMO is was always kind of grindy and always had deeds where you had to kill hundreds of something to finish but when they went free to play they added deed accelerators that allow you to finish those objectives in half the time. Add to that it's very easy to earn decent amounts of cash shop currency in game and both the lootboxen and keys to open them were landscape drops and deed rewards. Here the game plays almost exactly as it did before even if you don't spend a dime and spending money lets you speed things up from normal as the devs didn't slow the base game down to push you to spend as they did with NBA 2K. So, I guess the difference is if it feels exploitative
