  1. Maybe will lower expectations. ME 3 was a really good 3rd person shooter.
  2. I wish Freedom Force had stuck to the plan of each new game being based on an age of comics. First being Golden Age, second Silver, 3rd the copper and beginning of the Dark Age.
  3. Batman v Superman, overall I enjoyed it, but they pulled another Man of Steel mistake having someone easily discover Superman's identity. Lex was terrible, the reason for them fighting was terrible, and the reason they stopped fighting was worse. It did feel like it needed another stand alone Superman movie, plus a Batman and a Wonder Woman movie before it. Superman is just such a shallow character in it, they obviously didn't care about him at all and it was all about Batman. Luckily Affleck dethroned Keaton as my favourite live action Batman. People are criticising him for killing people, but it wasn't really any more than previous Batmans did, and aside from the dream sequence it was all vehicular manslaughter. Wonder Woman was definitely the highlight of the finale. Hobo Barry Allen made me wary of the Flash movie though.
  4. I watched a video of Stellaris in action and it impressed me. Like a mix of EU4 and Master of Orion, but with the race creation you're unlikely to meet the same race twice. Definitely in my to buy list. Been watching a Hearts of Iron 4 video too, looks much simpler than HOI3, and more fun.
  5. Will they even use old savegame import or will you just choose at the begining what you did? I mean, i only remember 2 tough choices i made in the whole game. The one with the Axe unit guy and the choice at the end. The kid at the beginning can survive to the end if you do like 5 things right.
  6. I wouldn't mind having Di & Lady Crimson back. That would be two. If Gabrielle ever comes back that will be ten. What happened to Lady Crimson? She was one of the more prolific posters then bam, gone.
  7. I love the fact that a system error in the DMV is automatically attributed to "Somebody's rigging the system!" Also http://www.snopes.com/cuban-refugees-clinging-to-air-force-one/ Why would party affiliation be stored in the same database as driver information? I ask as a Canadian where political parties have their own member database rather than the government holding it. Down here, the DMV is basically your one stop shop for any form of registration. Either there or the Post Office, as both are the primary ways the government knows where you live and your primary form of interaction with the Government. For the most part the DMV is where most people register to vote so they have to have that info on file. And yes, the parties do have their own lists of people behind them, but for the most part the federal election commission goes by the DMV selections people make, rather than by what the parties say. Ahh, leadership races here are a party thing not a government thing. The parties organize the leadership elections rather than Elections Canada. I guess if the government organizes the election it makes sense to register your party affiliation with the government.

  9. Bernie Sanders is the newest Disney Princess.
  10. Thats good to know, its great when we can use modern medicine to improve our lives....what would you have done 100 years ago ?Made the wife handle it while I went to the bar with my friends. Or beat the everliving crap out of the boy until he behaved.
  11. Bruce asked how my meds were going and such in another thread, so I'll update here. Meds are going great. I haven't lost control on my kids since starting them, I don't hate picking up my daughter from school anymore, and I'm not having trouble getting to sleep without taking melatonin anymore. The boy is still a terror, but with me not losing it we are keeping his messes more under control. Showed my doctor a picture of one of the messes he made and she said she was surprised that the drugs were able to keep my anger under control, as any sane person would be enraged by that.
  12. Critic score 37,audience score 83.so critics don't like it but audiences do. Also, does ktchong have something against posting movie stuff in the movie thread?
  13. A couple years back we got bought out by an american company. Not a lot changed except my supervisor's desire to be seen as invaluable to the new regime. Well now they have decided to completely overhaul the way the warehouse operates and bring in scanners. Which kinda sucks because after meeting with all the managers from all the warehouses across Canada, the other managers seemed dumbfounded by the amount of work we were able to get done the way we have the warehouse set up. For example talking to one manager he was talking about his crew putting away a bulk shipment. Bulk shipments are about 1500-2000 lbs per pallet, usually about 30-50 lbs per box. The procedure we have for putting it all onto the shelves is to check off each item to ensure it was accurately shipped, then put it away. The other manager had 5 guys putting away a 50 pallet shipment without checking it off, and after an 8 hour shift had 6 pallets left over. We can get 50 pallets checked off and put away with 2 guys in 8.5 hours, so for them to have 5 guys and skip a step and still not get it done in a shift was crazy. We also got picking numbers from the Edmonton branch where the average number of lines per day picked by each staff member in the Home Depot department was around 140. Our branch averages around 500. The main reason we are able to do so much more is because we have our warehouse set up numerically by part number, and after a couple of weeks most new employees know where every number is in the warehouse. We were never on scanners, while the other warehouses that do things in 2-4x as much time as we do are generally "wild warehouse" They put things where they have room for it and locate it in the computer. With the new scanner system we have been ordered to do the same, the reason being that being set up numerically wastes shelf space, as some numbers we don't stock as much as others. They are also rolling out this new system in the middle of the summer, and us being a fastener company is the busiest time of the year as its when everyone is doing construction and home renos. To accommodate resetting up the warehouse and learning an entirely new system during the busiest time of the year, head office has issued a vacation blackout for the months of July and August, so no one is allowed to take vacation during those months. The blackout was issued after both months had been fully booked. Many of us will also be required to work weekends in order to do the reset, as we can't be moving product around while people are picking it TL:DR - We are the most efficient branch in our company, head office wants to switch us over to a much less efficient system in order to save shelf space, and to do so no one gets summer holidays.
  14. Frankenearth?
  15. Didn't read the articles, so don't know if it says it, but supposedly Gawker Media is only worth 89 million. So this is pretty devastating for Gawker.
  16. Gloryhammer just may be my new favorite band. Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards is definitely my favourite album. This one is from their first album, Tales from the Kingdom of Fife. Each album has a story. Space 1992 takes place 1000 years after the first.
  17. EFTN was likely just overhyped for me. I found Kurt Russel the only redeeming part of the movie. Oh, and the chandeliers on the car.
  18. There's already a campaign for Bernthal to get an emmy
  19. Really? I must have missed it. It was a while ago when the video first came out. It's definitely closer to reality now though. As for the robots will rise up and kill us thing, I hope science fiction has taught us to treat robots with respect when they achieve sentience.
  20. It may have been a ripoff of EFNY, but it was also a far more entertaining movie.
  21. Kingpin gets his name! Edit: Ok finished season 2. A lot of good stuff, but I felt like it didn't flow as well as season one. Punisher's costume reveal was nice, but Elektra's kinda fell flat because it looks nothing like her comic outfit. Setup for next season was good. Here's hoping Bullseye shows up.
  22. Brian Menze as lead artist. No wonder its so pretty.
  23. About halfway through Daredevil s2. Punisher's casting was perfect.
  24. Aurora is an oooold engine. You could probably achieve the same with Unity.
  25. Main character is being played the the guy who plays Lincoln on the 100.
