A plan of action to keep the kids safe and busy so you can get some quality time with the wife? Or, depending on how well you know Vegas... maybe inquire if the concierge might know some quirky and interesting places to visit that aren't pure gambling and still potentially family friendly?

BBC - Man builds giant computer at home

Everything being massively sped up didn't bother you? Hm, nothing actually came across as massively sped up compared to most games over the last decade. It was stable, and nothing jumped out as an issue.Hell, the last time I replayed SR2 was about.. hm. 2-3 years ago now thinking about it.

I have to admit, I never found the Saints Row 2 port that much of a hassle. Okay, it looked a little dated, but no glitches or outwardly awkward controls...

I watched the first episode of Dark Matter and I also found it cliched... " another series about a group of people who have no idea who they are and how they got there " The only difference is its set in space, I have never been a big Sci-Fi fan and for me to watch this genre it has to be at least inventive. So I'll be skipping this series The basic archetypes are standard, but...

For the actual movie type.. Woman in Gold. Ryan Reynolds reminding us that he can do serious, straight roles with depth alongside Helen Mirren. Based on the true story of the aging lady who gets the son of a family friend to take the Austrian government to court to recover a painting that had been stolen from her family by the Nazis. A nicely done piece, that doesn't push the buttons that hard or make something relating to the holocaust gut-wrenching, while still managing to instil a depth of emotion in the proceedings. Plus a fairly good look at the legal battle from what I understand which might interest a few of you lawyer types out there.

Ah, but you have to remember, the main character was English. There's a whole thing about being kind to your dogs, and damsels in distress, while utterly capable of being merciless bastards to the rest of humanity. It's a cultural thing.

Okay, before this thread devolves into something else.. I'll throw in your general random stuff here: Epic Times - Star Wars Actor Arrested After Car Chase

Dark Matter. Starting out to look like a nice little sci-fi. Quirky that it's a tv show adapted from a comic mini-series that was originally written to be a tv show... Six people wake up on a starship with no memories of their past lives, and find the ship stocked with guns. Complications then ensue.

Heh, and a response on a certain speech.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdHYhwU35Jg

Picked up the first chapter of Life is Stange in the steam sale just to see what it was like. it was.. strangely compelling and I find myself tempted to pick up the rest of the available chapters to see how it all plays out and what consequences might occur from my early choices.
