Not Episode VII related, unless they go for a Biker Scout redux as well--unlikely, but not impossible. Maybe for VIII or IX. Finally this 6" set came down to a reasonable acquisition threshold, so I made off with one. I'll open it and pose the guy ... still too much to buy two and keep the other in-box. The natural motorcyclist in me always really dug the Speeder Bikes.

I hope not, the Tesla outnumbers the Leaf maybe 4-1, here, even though it's at least double the price, maybe more. Not really a fan of either.

Far superior? The Fifth Element, in German dub? ... outlandish. Phonetically impossible, even. Gary Oldman's voice alone, disproves the assertion.

I can offer one digital download of the game when the game releases. I'm not sure how many of the voters would be super keen on an extra PoE download seeing as most (if not all) of us are digital backers. I'm happy to put a few dollars towards a sub $50 gog or steam game of the winner's choice. You're right. Everyone could pitch in for $1 and then we see where we go from there. I got another idea. The money we collect here could go towards Obsidian's next Kickstarter game. The winner gets the money to back that project. Maybe? As a grand prize, I agree, sounds good. Plus all the Likes and devoted adoration of everyone who participated should go to me the winner.

Oh yeah, remember the photo of the old California grocery store in one of the recentish backer updates, the Alpha Beta store. Let me go find that again. BB 257 really is an A-to-B. Which means something else entirely at the recruit depot.

If you read the thread title fast enough, it's a complaint about the release date, not the content within. Problem solved.

The ingenuity is in the details, of an imaginary dialect. Which is already incorrect, as it is an imaginary syntax. Also incorrect, since it exists on 'paper', consistently, not solely in the imagination. My best guess as a hack English major, is, it's a distinct mix of simple present and past continuous verb tenses, built on decapitating adverbs, wrapped in received pronunciation. Consistent reproduction can only indicate a greater comprehension of the official language. Also explains the schmuck detection. Edit: ninja'd by an MFA, as always. I'll just go read my Little Golden Book.

Earn it first, from a pirate quest, spend that quest XP on a new feat, say, on an island ... with monkeys.

Okay, now what happened in Isla Vista. Wait, I saw a movie about Bacon, long time ago, at the MCA La Jolla. He was in his home, a burglar dropped through the ceiling, attempted to burgle, stayed for dessert, and Bacon ... that's it, that's all I remember. It was in ... summer '99.

Weird, just last month I compared Pollock and Picasso to Obsidian and Bio, right or wrong, with no text to back it up, however. Should do that. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/66436-bittersweet-eternity-an-open-letter-addressed-to-obsidian-entertainment/page-8?do=findComment&comment=1465137

It feels weird, but also good, watching a whole season at once, six months after the finale. Beats the price of cable, anyway, sorta. Season Four, Walking Dead, ohmigosh wut no YES holy **** watch OUT WHAT that's her it's HIM turn around god! Great and clever dramatic irony, they played around with blocking the story perspectives and timelines. Could be the best cast of any season, tons of callbacks for items and characters. Relentlessly well-written, and the set dressing, exterior and interior, is just nuts how consistently believable it is.

Quoting wikipedia, intentional grounding, spot of the foul, fourth down.

Jesus christ, you are the preeminent axe-murdering photographer. Those raindrops appear translucent, or crystalline, with their own source of light. Amazing.

Is there a Swiss-like state of neutrality for middle-of-the-road-mancers. Extremism is really putting the lame in lamentations.

For anyone not participating, Polygon posted 13 minutes of their own PoE beta run, with commentary from two dudes. Mostly pretty positive. http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/25/6066433/pillars-of-eternity-gameplay-video-preview

eh, so, for the lay-people struggling to understand (not me, I totally get all of this) ... so the problem beta backers believe they're experiencing, is weak character builds that all look the same? And are they asking for ability score bonuses to be higher to compensate? Is the general plea for more power? And then, so, this thread's idea says, no, leave the ability scores alone ... because straight power increases are not the answer ... the answer is more choice of talents/skills at each level-up?

I know, I got another T-shirt, some PoE playing cards, and the digital strategy guide. This way, when PoE comes out, I can play solitaire wearing an Obsidian shirt, underneath a Pillars of Eternity shirt, underneath another Obsidian shirt, irksomely checking the strategy guide after getting total party wiped by beetles, thanks to being distracted by the aroma of cornbread in the oven made from Tim Cain's cookbook, long after reading Chris Avellone's novella, all while listening to the game's incredible, dulcet soundtrack by composer Justin Bell.

That is frightening. One of my geology classes taught me the Bay Area has faults capable of magnitude 9.0+ ... a steep and deep "strike/slip" fault that will eventually deposit the city into the ocean. San Diego is comparatively in the clear, with the biggest faults well-inland. Even L.A. is on top of a big one. Scary.

I don't know, I hope they go with real-life hardware. I absolutely need a cushioned structure, nappa-trimmed, that allows me to play games, read the forum, drink white russians, nap, watch movies and TV, all at the same time, practically from a supine position. I don't mean a chair, I mean flat on my back, with double monitors and tilted, curved 4K displays, room for 750mL bottles, and an ashtray for e-cigarettes. Maybe a pillow, too, as a backer reward.

Will be a busy couple weeks coming up. Walking Dead Season 4 on Tuesday, then September 9 is gonna burst like an awesome superhero piñata with Agents of SHIELD Season 1, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the Glacier White PS4 controller ... only one of which is actually a TV show, but all of which will be used on the idiot box.

I would enjoy wearing two watches, one on each wrist, but it would drive me up and over the wall if they didn't tell exactly the same time, all the time, down to the .01 of a second.

I picture Dwayne Johnson in glasses. With that one raised eyebrow after every, HA! Good Fun!

Same with our Boston Tea Party a few centuries ago. In early school, for me, the event was recounted as massively patriotic one notch below heroism. In college, I learned it was actually deceptive, offensive, violent, and expensive. I haven't seen any movies, lately, not even Guardians. My film buddy is having a kid, or some thing ...

They fixed the lolly-gagging server clock. It's only one minute behind, now. Wait, no it's not one minute, it's right on the numbers.

Funny alpha-female artists are funny.
