Monte Carlo's Post Apoc thread
Ooh, what a treat, I wish I could watch S4 of TWD again for the first time. Some very satisfying series arcs and loose ends tied neatly. The best thing the show does, as a whole, just as they do in The Last of Us game, is make you stop and think, god this could really be the way humanity ends. So many other PA venues just don't achieve that sense of curious true belief. Merle's redemption in S3 was the most fun and anguish I've invested in a character since, I don't even know when. The episode that defines the fourth season--and you'll know it the instant you watch--is on another level of compelling storytelling. I was literally found dumb for hours.

What are you playing now?
The Assassin's Guild questline gives you a badass black horse with glowing red eyes. If that's not enough, the vampire DLC gets you a summonable blue lightning demon horse.

What's on the idiot box... Part 3
Incredible stunt work, too. Ragdoll human antics never look believable, but this one was crazy good. I would buy the season on blu-ray just to see how they did it.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
The PS4 at least, uses the system memory. 8GB of fairly speedy GDDR5. How much of that 8GB gets used as vRAM, I'm not sure, probably not more than one or two or three.

What's on the idiot box... Part 3
Nice, thank you, CW, for not debuting The Flash in the same time slot as SHIELD. I am absolutely fine with Tuesday being comic book TV day. Win on Tuesday, sell on Wednesday, isn't that how it goes.

What you did today.
Oh hmm, that watch looks exactly right. I would like one, to wear underneath my wrist so I can talk to it like they do in the movies, but I'm strapped to an iOS device.

NFL 2014 Season
The bag rule is also in effect down here in our state-of-the-art 1960s luxury bowl. SD routinely welcomes SF refugees ... come south, it's nice.

What you did today.
I always knew I had supra-human olfactory sensitivity, but now that the menthol smoke has cleared, I can literally smell the sesame seeds being sprinkled on the beef broccoli at the Chinese restaurant across the street behind the mall two blocks down from the gas station. Quitting smoking beats the pants off of being born again by jesus.

NFL 2014 Season
An undrafted rookie gets almost 200 yards in offense, including two touchdowns, Branden Oliver. Guaranteed Chargers Facebook nuts are photoshopping the Guardians of the Galaxy "Who?!" meme ... they look exactly the same. Oliver keeps attributing his success to someone named Godd ... not sure who that is, probably an agent.

What you did today.
Aww jeez, Vettel to Ferrari, Alonso to McLaren, no more di Montezemolo ... I don't know whether to fold the colors for good or imitate a classic Latin temperament meltdown. Maybe put on some dark Enzo glasses and imperiously berate anyone within reach as though they and their children are solely responsible for this catastrophe. Really doesn't matter, though, in the wake of Bianchi's head injury, christ I hope the guy recovers. Get well, Jules.

Delayed to early 2015
That is remarkably similar to the business I work in: As a customer, you can have your product made well, made inexpensively, or made quickly ... only two out of three are possible.

A rant on KOTOR 2
That's exactly what I thought you said earlier, so I did get it But that has nothing to do with this being a joke "rant" and that is what I was explaining to Qistina, she mustn't think this is a legitimate rant. Qistina's a dude, the exact same dude as Darth Deven.

I think his publisher and Amazon are fighting over distribution, so AFiT may be delayed.

Did you finish the other waiting game, for the 2 Series xDrive.

It does look like a mandrake. The screaming Harry Potter creature. Edit: Being called adorkable is high praise, I say.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Nice, I'm gonna character-create Frank Castle and Punish the Inquisition.

Delayed to early 2015
I appreciate turn-based maneuvers, even though it too strongly resembles wait-and-see conveyor-belt combat.

What you did today.
I did it. I totally asked for the green Kickstarter power badge to activate. I thought I didn't want it visible, but, since I was there, two years ago, at Woodstock, with Green Shirt Girl, I want the world to know.

Statism - the fundamental dysfunction of our world
Far from shallow. I'm sure she would be lucky to have you. Work dynamics can be dangerously exciting, I say go for it.

Pillars of Eternity Delayed
Right, exactly, imagine a developer death march through the holidays. No one wants that. I don't want to force good people to suffer. Enjoy the winter break. Come back with fresh eyes and new energy, please.
