^ That is AMAZING!

Wouldn't it be crazy if the Giants wound up winning the NFC East after starting 0-6? It's actually quite possible. The Iggles are imploding. The Redskins are only halfway decent when RG3 is fully healthy, who knows when that will happen again and for how long. The Cowboys can't even win games that are being handed to them on a silver platter. This could happen. This is the NFC East in a single picture:

Rodent hugs:

I won't be quite as colorful about it, but I basically agree. Until Jerry swallows his pride, hires a real GM and a real coach and actually lets them do their jobs, unimpeded, the Cowboys will always fail. ALWAYS. They will never win with Jerry managing and coaching the team, and rest assured he is the one coaching this team. The worst part is that nothing will change until Jerry swallows his pride and that's never going to happen. He won't sell the team either because despite their continual mediocrity, they are financially profitable.

It looks amazing but I don't understand anything that's happening in the trailer. Reading a bit of the description, you basically get to play a vagrant and... umm... yeah.

The call was correct. The Sawx didn't lose because of a bad call, they lost because Salty made a bad throw, and one he shouldn't have made in the first place. Even on a perfect throw I doubt he would have gotten the runner at 3rd. Still, it was a heat of the moment split second judgement for him to make that throw, so I can't really put too much blame on the guy. I would like to see Farrell start Bogaerts at short and Middlebrooks at 3rd. I know Stephen Drew is a great fielder, but he has done NOTHING at the plate. Having him in the lineup is akin to having a pitcher in the lineup, or a second pitcher when they're playing in St. Louis. I just don't think his defense is worth enough to make up for his complete and utter lack of production at the plate.

Because they're the Cowboys and they are complete garbage incapable of winning a game even when the opposing team tries its darndest to hand it to them. Yet Jason Garrett somehow still has a job...

That was a crazy game last night. It sucks that the Sawx lost, but man, that game was exciting. Hopefully Buchholz comes through today.

When it comes to whisky, I'm a scotch man. I rarely buy it, though, because I'm frugal (read: piss poor). I usually stick with vodka because I can buy fairly good vodka (Sobieski) for $20 for 1.75L. While it is possible to buy scotch for $20 for 1.75L, said scotch isn't fit for human consumption.

Mostly Red Stripe Lager. I'll have some Sobieski Vodka when eating śledzie.

Vodka and frozen wasteland or bland boiled food and a wet and cold place, tough decision. Russia doesn't get the benefit of vodka in my mind. Russians and Scandinavians may claim otherwise, but all sane people know that vodka was invented in Poland.

If it winds up not being overheating that's the problem, then the next most likely cause would be the PSU going through its death throes. If available, the easiest way to check is to switch it out for a known good PSU and see if that remedies the problem.

The setting is... serviceable. I too was hoping for something more, but it's okay. Like the rest here, I'm very impressed with the system. I'm getting ready to run an adventure from the back of the core book on my own, as both GM and player, just to get a feeling for how the system plays out in action. I have an idea in my head, but reading about the rules and implementing them in action are entirely different things, so I feel a test run is in order.

Oh Lord. DICE is yet again making an AMERICA **** YEAH game. Here's an experiment. Turn on the trailer, mute the sound, play the following in the background: A near-perfect synch. I nearly died laughing. Holy ****, if you start the first video muted then the second one like 3 or 4 seconds later it's amazing!

Never change, oby, (like you did your avatar) these conspiracy/propaganda threads are fantastic.

Agreed, the GUI is awful.

So I can attempt to have the Cathars topple the Catholic church?

GabeN only gives discounts to the cool people. If you haven't gotten one that means you're an outcast.

It's certainly not a deal breaker for me but it is curious that they seemed to have dehanced the graphics a bit for the "ultimate" edition of the game. Either way, I wasn't going to buy it any time soon. I will eventually, I just have no time or desire to play through it again right now.

Well, the Sawx defense took a turn losing a game. Sadly, Lackey will be credited with a loss, when he pitched very well and it was the defense commiting not one but two errors on one play that lost the game for the team. Oh well, onward to St. Louis.

I kind of think the Sawx were going to win yesterday anyway, without the Cards having a terrible fielding night, because Lester was dealing and Wainwright was clearly off, even before Lozma's first error. However, the Cards didn't do themselves any favors by literally dropping the ball several times. Wacha has been on fire this postseason, but Lackey has been really strong too. It should be a really good game tonight.

Sawx won 8-1. Lester was terrific, Wainwright had a bad night, Kozma had a trrible night fielding. Buchholz acknowledged shoulder soreness after game 1. Right now the word is that it's 50/50 whether he or Doubront starts game 4. Buchholz is a very good pitcher, but his body is made out of paper mache.

Good call, I may fire up some X3:TC this weekend myself. In the meantime, I'm all about Euro Truck Simulator 2 when I'm at home on my lappy. I'm high enough level now that I now have access to some pretty decent trucks. I've got a MAN 6x2 with the raised sleeper and 480 hp, 2300 torque. It does chew up gas fairly quickly, but it's a beast pulling heavy loads up inclines and it drives so silky smooth at high speed. I also have a 480 hp Renault Magnum 4x2 that my hired driver runs. I'm starting to expand my business into multiple drivers, though I don't see myself ever getting larger than a couple of garages and less than 10 total drivers. I'm just not looking to do that much micromanaging. While on the go I'm rocking Final Fantasy V on my Android. That won't be changing any time soon. FF5 is a 50+ hour game, and when you're playing less than an hour a day in 10-15 minute chunks, that will go a long way. I doubt I'll get bored of it any time soon either, on account of the game being so awesome. I miss Square, the real Square, a lot. Damn you, Enix, for devouring its soul and spitting it out.

**** yes! Napoli comes through again in the 1st with a 3 run double. He's a very streaky hitter, he goes through ice cold streaks and super red hot streaks. He picked a really good time to go on a hot streak.
