Overheard at the Cleveland-Cinci game Referee: "This is the 2-minute warning." Cleveland Fans: "Thanks be to God." Manziel stats with a minute left in 1st half : 4/9 22 yds 2 int QBR 12.0

Nothing major at Steam. The only game I see currently is a Metro Redux bundle that includes Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux for 16.99 (66% off). Nothing else as far as I could see.

If your conduct is dictated by reciprocity, perhaps you should stop pretending you have standards, it's that simple. It's also pointless, the quote from GTA V that torture is for the torturer to have fun is pretty accurate thinking about it. Also, are you trying to imply torture has stopped any attacks ? We cannot say with absolute certainty that the advanced interrogation techniques did help prevent any attacks but we also can't say they didn't, so you are looking for a hypothetical answer I think you must know this ? Actually I think what Malcador was saying was that if you sink to your opponents level, you've surrendered the moral high ground. You are then no better than the people you are trying to defeat. Are you really advocating for the use of illegal and painful techniques because they might have provided useful information? That's awfully shaky moral ground to be standing on.

But you agree this can be removed from the game without it really impacting your experience? That's his point Frankly considering that he considers hookers to be an already abused and marginalized class, you would have thought that he would have argued for their exclusion entirely. Besides killing them is optional. Haven't you previously argued that people who dislike romances can simply avoid them since they're optional? Disclaimer: I don't own GTAV or any of the titles in the series for that matter. I don't enjoy the genre or the game play.

Here's the latest rundown: Sons of Anarchy Season 7 - Series Finale. Season 7's bloodbath make season 6 look like a trip to Disneyland. It's hard to explain how a show can be so good when none of the characters are really likeable. It just is. 9/10 Broadchurch Season 1 - Mystery centered around the death of a 10yr old boy in the resort town of Broadchurch. David Tennant stars. 8/10 The Strain Season 1 - These aren't your pretty Twilight vampires. Interesting twist but vampires have been overdone. 6.5/10 Grimm Season 3 - Simply awesome. Poor Nick - just can't catch a break. 9/10 and just started this: The Killing Season 3 - A murder mystery centered around a serial killer who is targeting young under age prostitutes. Add in a killer awaiting execution who was convicted for a killing where the MO matches the latest victims. An The acting is great and Mirielle Enos is superb. so far it's a 9/10

113 fatalities this year as of Dec 4 according to this site: http://www.nleomf.org/facts/officer-fatalities-data/ 107 fatalities thru November of this year according to this site: http://www.odmp.org/search/year The 150 per year figure Gromnir quoted is based on a 10 year average dating back to 2004(?). http://www.nleomf.org/facts/enforcement/ -
I don't think 2-2 will do it. Even if Dallas beats Philly in the rematch; and Philly also loses to Sea, Philly would still likely win the Division since they would end with the better division record (thanks to Dallas' loss to Washington). While it's possible (albeit unlikely) for Dallas to win the Division, Philly wins almost all division tiebreakers. So a 2-2 finish likely pushes Dallas to the wild card tiebreakers. Of course the Evil Mark Sanchez could show up and blow up Philly's season. LOL And that also assumes that both Philly and Dallas take care of Wash and NYG or Chicago. In almost all of the likely Dallas 2-2 finishing scenarios, Dallas misses the playoffs on a conference record tiebreaker (they finish with no better than a 8-4 conference record and 7-5 is more likely) or head to head loss to one of the other possible playoff teams (SF and Arizona). There's still four weeks left and lots can happen.

Whoa... you can't remap the keys in DA:I? How much keyboard interaction does it need. DA:O was largely mouse controlled. According to bio forums you can remap keyboard and there's even a post from Alan Schumacher where he states that he remapped the Q and E keys to A and D (and remapped the A and D keys that turned the camera to something else). And there is a thread about it on reddit as well. You can't rebind mouse keys. Here's the manual for the game if anyone is interested: http://d2ro3qwxdn69cl.cloudfront.net/manuals/dragon-age-inquisition-manuals_PC_ww.pdf

Hopefully, Bioware will produce a patch that will adjust the TacCam zoom so you can do THIS: Allegedly that was done with a hack but it has caused repeated CTDs and may cause problems with the game locking from Denuvo. Disclaimer: Use any third party software at your own risk.

No. It was just fine the way it was. -

Maybe we're thinking different things when you say "mob the monster" but I remember those fights a lot differently. I thought the High Dragon at the Temple was by far the worst of the three, with Archdemon second and Flemeth the easiest. The High Dragon was extremely mobil and took a lot more movement and coordinated party action to bring it down. Despite his lower immunities, I think he was a tougher opponent at that stage than the AD simply because he was able to bring his physical attacks into play far more often. I think it took me three attempts to get him. The Archdemon basically required you to keep the ballistas working, spam some arrows of filth and the right spells (inferno, tempest and blizzard). The only other complication was keeping the mooks that appeared off your ranged fighters and spellcaster/healer. Morrigan was always able to draw agro on him and duck behind one Ballista and that limited his movement. The fight is complicated simply because of the extremely high immunities that he has but it's simply just a matter of perserverance. I took him down on my first attempt. (My warden ended throwing every acid flask he had at her while Morrigan drew agro. I'm not sure the AD turned around once ... lol) Flemeth in Dragon form was the easiest; she generally stayed in one spot and it was simply a matter of getting the right spells off on her. I think I ended up using all ranged weapons and spells on her, healing when I needed to and simply staying away from her physical attacks so she could only bring her flame breath to bear.. You can also spam force field on a tank and have him draw agro while hammering her. Easiest fight of all three imo.

Namutree, your proposal falls far short of what would be needed. If you want to end the drug War, simply turn the drug trade into a business. Legalize it Tax it Regulate it License it Treat it just like alcohol (for the most part). Use the tax revenue to subsidize construction of rehab centers and to offset health care costs of drug addicts. Allow domestic production - Weed'r'Us works for me; TootforTots not so much. Allow companies to distribute like MML does for Weed in Colorado. Restrict age usage and require health care insurance as a cost reducer. Enforce quality standards. Establish limits for personal production (weed). (Stills are illegal, the alcohol example works well) Establish DUI standards for drugs. Establish heavy import duties (make this a US industry!) and start exporting Rewrite the CJC to eliminate banking restrictions on cash transfers etc. That's how you end the drug war. Indemnify distributors who adhere to distribution and production requirements from prosecution. If someone over doses on heroin thru no fault of the distributor or producer he should not be subject to prosecution. -

Guess that kind of depends on how you interpret the kid pulling the gun from his waistband. Was that threatening or not? Yes (video). The family of the boy has apparently seen it but I don't think it has been released to the press. The cop who shot the kid is apparently a rookie; he was accompanied by a 10-15 year veteran.
-
How many of you could really tell whether this is real or a toy? And remember you're seeing this up close and not at a distance. The police told the kid to raise his hands and the kid's reaction was to pull a fairly realistic replica gun from his waistband. Oh but he was only 12 years old? Tell that to Michael Landsberry ...... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cops-id-12-year-old-gunman-sparks-middle-school-shooting-nevada-article-1.1496283
