One of these days I really should get around to doing an Operation...

You can also use Outdoorsman to rescue those people if you've got it high enough...

The one that I found interesting was that unpaid interns can be sexually harassed without a problem according to US law. A few cases last year where an intern tried suing for sexual harassment, but by definition of the law because they are unpaid they aren't technically employees, and thus are not covered under the regulations about sexual harassment. Now I'm probably missing a chunk of the specifics of it, but that was the general gist that the courts handed down on the cases...

Been watching through a few episodes of Crossing Lines on Amazon Prime. If you ignore the utter silliness of how they use the ICC, it's not a bad crime show, with some interesting characters and moments of quite good lines. "This better be good mate. You called me away from a woman of questionable morals and a staggering imagination..."

"Morality and Practicality should be congruent. If they're not there's something wrong with one or the other. "

dreamy, sexy, generally attractive and cute.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. One pays a toll."

But a bit Have you ever played Sid Meier's Pirates! ? It's like that, but on dry land. But a bit less of a story. I found it addictive to begin with, but after a certain point it was just repeating the same actions again and again and again.

Had a weird weekend, kind of slid into that vague disconnected feeling/mindset from friends and work. Trying to pull things back into some sort of order and get my ducks lined up in a row.

I'm kind of surprised we haven't had Bruce bringing up #heforshe and Emma Watson's UN speech.... or did I miss that buried somewhere?

Technically I bought Shadow of Mordor. It just won't be arriving for a week.... Again, buying physical copies via amazon can work out cheaper then digital copies..

I have to admit, I got a bit hacked off by the Diamondback Militia Officer ranting on about me being no better then a murderer for killing his men in the Canyon, so I better help their plans or they'd just put me down. And if I got killed in doing it, so what. Given the fact that his men attacked you regardless on seeing you, I'd say it was their own damn fault. So, since I'd already hacked all the turrets in their base, I used brawl to take out a couple of DMB folks, grabbed their weapons and managed to kill everyone else there. Of course, that didn't stop the DMB and Bandits and Monks fighting over everything after I disarmed the Nuke. So does slaughtering everyone actually change any outcomes?

Ah, the internet. When 5 years can be worth decades.. or still viewed as the new kid on the block..

Of course, I had the peace treaty all signed, everyone was happy, the Rangers back at the Citadel applauded me for it... but when the end epilogue came up, I got told that since I'd helped Casey annihilate the Topekans all sorts of bad crap had happened. So I have no idea where that came from. Edit: Heh, and beaten while I typed..

Well I've found it in several run throughs in the beta, and once in the current version at the Airfield, when you face Tinker. It's not dropped by the robots you destroy, but an actual specific tread in one of the crates in the Airfield hangar.

Technically, the game storywise encourages you not to deal with those turrets and that part of the prison until after the visit to the Temple of Titan. You can find a "tread" in Darmonta that fixes the robot by the prison wall, that will go up to the turrets and destroy them. Or, you can potentially load up on the various rocket launchers from TNT back at the Ranger Citadel if you have enough scrap before hand. Of course, the time I did that it beta, it broke the game later because I'd killed all the Rad Scorpions early in the game, but it wouldn't let me continue the main storyline until I went back to the prison because the dead people were yelling on the Radio....

Had a really weird experience when I tried to sit down and handle some work. Went into some sort of anxiety attack, all the flaws, mistakes, problems, or general issues just magnified up and riffled through like a flipbook on loop in my head, then started spiralling off from work stuff to life in general stuff. A wee bit disconcerting.

Welcome to the club.

Well, I finished it up.. and got to enjoy the "epilogue"... where I was told that people I'd killed were alive and making things horrible, people I'd actually saved were dead, and groups I'd made peace between had actually slaughtered one another because there had been no peace.. Okay, about half of the "and so and so happened" was based on my actions, but the other half were all very strange considering I kept going asking whether it had played the same game I had...

I have to admit, I ran Makeb first with my Sith Assassin and then did the dailies.. and it has its grind but it wasn't a problem. I then ran the Republic side dailies/weekly with my Smuggler, and holy hell, that was painful. So many freaking mobs and longer routes to get anywhere, it felt like I could barely move 5 paces without having another grinding combat. All these things that should take 5-10 minutes to run through and it took me about 4 hours to get through them. I've pretty m uch promised myself never to repeat that experience...

I haven't had a single crash or glitch out in that way... The only oddities I've had is the not being able to return to hand in Sue's quest because the airlock was shut to the West farm at the Ag Centre, and the oddity of the Prison where I got yelled at for having killed Red Scorpions there when I didn't on my first visit.
