What are you playing now
I remember when I first played DS1, I never used the kick or jump attack attack because I was using a cheap Logitech controller that just would not do it more than 25% of the time. Later, I went to an Xbox 360 controller and it become way, way easier to do consistently (although still not quite perfectly consistent).

It was either him or Eddie Lacy. Your team's brass went with Eddie Lacy.

Talk about an impact player. Only QB to have a passer rating >=100 against the Jaguars this season.

Meanwhile, your list very nearly forced me to make Hitman: Blood Money my final entry...but alas, I felt the game had one too many flaws to be deserving.

Yep.

Looking for a new monitor
The primary differences are supposed to be viewing angles and colors.

Steam Haven
Too bad the DLC is still another $25...

looks like the ignore list is back on the menu, boys

Arcanum 2: Return to Steamworks and Magic
Nothing on Twitter or Reddit about it, so not sure where he's getting it from.

I wouldn't say "disappeared", given that his latest post was yesterday.

Hey, at least he isn't calling you the worst teacher in America like Sharp_one might.

Yeah, George Lucas really outdid himself there.

What are you playing now
Still not sure why Before the Storm was made by an unrelated company from the guys who made the original. Seems like a weird thing to do for a brand new property that probably needs another game or two to become well-established. At least BtS didn't turn out horribly (from the sounds of it, anyways - I haven't played it yet).

Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
In other news, Dems officially force a 50-50 split in Virginia's House of Delegates, as a very close and contested election finished its recount today with the Dem winning by just 1 vote. Republicans lost both their supermajority and their majority now in this election.

Fiasco seems to be the only one you listed who has zero posts...and they've been registered since 2012 with an original PoE-backer badge, so yeah, I'd count them at the very least.

Looking for a new monitor
TVs have really bad input delay: you're at a pretty distinct disadvantage if you try to play fast-paced multiplayer games with them vs. other people who are using normal monitors. So monitors aren't going to go away any time soon in gaming just for that unless TV manufacturer's priorities change (they most likely won't, given that TVs are, first and foremost, made with the best picture quality for watching TV/movies in mind). Additionally, I personally find extra large monitors and TVs to be a bit of an eye-sore, and the larger they are, the farther back you have to sit, and after a certain size, the traditional desk setup becomes incompatible with them (unless you have a really large desk, I guess). So that's gonna be a no from me. Maybe I'll change my tune in a few decades when my eyes don't work so well, though...but also maybe the issue will already be solved by then anyways.

NFL 2017-2018 Season
Falcons win, and the Packers' season is officially over! I'm a little relieved, because I really did not want to see Rodgers get hit any more next week one a one out of a million scenario. Plus, maybe our horrible DC will finally get fired after finally no longer being carried by Rodgers.
