  1. This is such a bizarre statement to me. It seems like you are looking for political correctness, just so you can point at it and dislike it. Wouldn't you rather just enjoy stuff? There was no blatant political correctness in the trailer, but you've clearly already made up your mind as to what the movie will be. That seems like a shame. Bizarre indeed.
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iLKjspPj_k Really nice rendition of my favorite computer game music track.
  3. Very nice! It compares very favorably to Skeleton of a Town from IWDII.
  4. To be precise, one does not swing an estoc; it's meant to be a thrusting weapon.
  5. Gah. This song has been in my head for two days now. And Christie Brinkley was hot.
  6. Okyeahthatlookedprettygoodimstoked.
  7. Funny, I had a funny feeling some *COUGH*nerd*COUGH* body would feel the need to point that out that. Can you even hashtage #Trench Foot? Shouldn't it be #TrenchFoot?
  8. In grade school, I wanted to play Second Base for the San Francisco Giants. But knowing my luck, I figured I was gonna end up with the Milwaukee Brewers. As it turns out, neither scenario played out.
  9. After PoE was funded, somebody associated with Obsidian --maybe it was Feargus, was quoted as stating that the trend was that pre-orders generate about 10% of initial unit sales. In this case, replace Kickstarter backers with pre-orders, which added up to roughly 73,000. I'm sure Obsidian is doing financially well with their current sales numbers, but it has fallen short of desired expectation. Let's not spin this into something that it's not and break out the champagne for 500k Steam units sold.

    I was at a Royals game this summer completely decked out in my A's gear. Never once did I get harassed or taunted, which, in hindsight was pretty lame. Still, I got around to having a nice 20 minute chat with an 80 year old usher who was around for the Kansas City A's. Good enough reason for me go for the Royals.
  11. Memphis is essentially a dinosaur in today's NBA, and even Indiana decided to play smaller and faster. But dammit, it's still viable and may St. Naismith bless them with good health. An NBA that has heterogeneous playing styles is just fantastic.

    When has Pete Rose not been an embarrassment to himself?
  13. Cool. Though that was actually a pretty disjointed edit to be honest.
  14. According to SteamSpy, Shadowrun sold more units (863,000). Add another 450,000 to Dragonfall, and 93,000 to Hong Kong. These games cost far less to make combined than PoE.
  15. My Power Rankings in descending order from 1 to 30. Next to the team name are Vegas’s (Bovada) odds on winning the championship. For those that aren’t degenerate gamblers, +300 means that a $100 bet will earn you a $300 profit (3 to 1 odds). Not applicable this time, but -300 indicates that a sucker would need to bet $300 to win $100. Power Rankings 1. Warriors +500 2. Thunder +850 3. Clippers +900 4. Spurs +350 5. Cavaliers +275 6. Bulls +1600 7. Hawks +5000 8. Rockets +1600 9. Memphis +3300 10. Pelicans +4000 11. Celtics +10000 12. DC Bullets +5000 13. Heat +3300 14. Raptors +5000 15. Jazz +15000 16. Bucks +5000 17. Pacers +5000 18. Mavericks +6600 19. Kings +25000 20. Pistons +15000 21. Magic +25000 22. Timberwolves +20000 23. Lakers +10000 24. Nets +20000 25. Nuggets +25000 26. Hornets +25000 27. Suns +15000 28. Trailblazers +15000 29. Knickerbockers +20000 30. 76ers +25000 The numbers by each team indicates Vegas’s (Sportsbook) over/under. The +/- is my prediction on whether the team will go over or under that win number. Obviously, top eight in each conference goes to the playoffs. Western Conference 1. Golden State 60.5 + 2. OKC 57.5 + 3. LAC 56.5 - 4. San Antonio 58.5 - 5. Houston 54.5 - 6. Memphis 50.5 + 7. New Orleans 47.5 - 8. Utah 40.5 + 9. Dallas 38.5 - 10. Sacramento 30.5 + 11. Minnesota 25.5 + 12. LAL 29.5 + 13.

    I stand corrected then. I thought you were a Mets fan. Although you play devil's advocate so often sometimes it's hard to tell who the real Volo is! Same here. This is the first I've ever heard of Volo supporting a team from Kaneda.
  17. It's been decent so far and added it to my DVR list. I've been a fan of Cornwell for years.

    Donnie Baseball got canned. No surprise there.
  19. That's not in Yountville is it? Nope, it's not French Laundry, which is pretty famous. It's a fairly new place called Manresa in Los Gatos. I think the most I've spent on a dinner was about $400. That was at Nobu in Vegas. Well, I figured it wasn't Famous Dave's. Are you considering plonking down the $400?
  20. That's not in Yountville is it?
  21. John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are English. They have to secretly be evil.

    This Back to the Future timeline may be in jeopardy.
  23. It was a throwaway joke. And yes, it's been documented that PKD took his fair share of psychedelics, including LSD.
