star wars knights of the old republic 3
Even if Bioware's unannounced IP is a Star Wars RPG, Knights III or even 1313 could go to Obsidian. EA knows better than LucasArts how long the memories of SW fans are ... and EA is as determined as Disney, to keep from botching this property. The only question is, if Feargus would say yes, after the tear-inducing Knights II incident.

To all of our backers and fans...
They bought us all the newest Transformers action figures. No, but I did manage to get one of the new Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett figures. For my brother's birthday last week, but it doesn't ship until 12/2. Pre-order was only live for about three days. And that's just for Fett, not the SDCC exclusive version with Han Solo in carbonite, going for $250 now, after retail of only $45.

US debt default
That day will be when cars also become fully automated. I'm sensibly direct with most issues, but when the self-driving Neo Prius horde takes over, I will literally Hulk into a loud-mouthed internal combustion alarmist. TAKE BACK THE WHEEL

US debt default
America runs on literality. Every word in the bible is literally true; every word of the Constitution is literally applicable; every dollar of national debt is a literal representation of incompetence; there is literally an invisible hand guiding capital markets; bills, laws, ideas and intent are all literally good for the nation if they have a simple, positive title. Context, nuance, and translation have literally no place in America.

What you did today
Oh, cool. I love Ruby's Diner in Laguna, and Aliso beach nearby is kinda hidden away and has plenty of parking and open sand. Javier's just up the road also in Laguna is a must-visit cantina. And the Irvine Spectrum ... I mean it's literally right next door to Obsidian ... might as well have dinner and movie while you stalk the Obs crew. Edit: evidently Javier has moved his establishment up to Newport. I'll try to be more current before I recommend someplace.

AMD R9 290X
Ah, well it was the [H] guys that made me think the 290X was designed for 4K: And this is all with DX11. Now I wonder if Mantle is as low-level as they say. If something as simple as fan speed on the 290X can deliver double-digit improvement, what sort of speed could we see from a pedal-to-the-metal API.

AMD R9 290X
Where does this leave the regular 290. If the 290X is $549, and the 280X is $299, that's a wide gap. The 290 will be a Hawaii chipset, still, right, so $449 seems likely, especially if the 7970 also debuted at $549, I'm guessing the 290 will be like the 7950--in launch price, at least, not performance. I get the impression the 290X is only for 4K resolutions, while the 290 is for 27" monitors or 1200 and 1080. Are the 770 and the 290 supposed to be on par, I wonder.

Play Ball! the 2013 Baseball Thread
Obstruction. Really. Wait, maybe I'm not qualified to comment on something I know nothing about. Still, "intent does not matter in cases of obstruction" sounds wrong to me. I think whoever made up this rule also puts cheese on their apple pie. And yeah, I think our Padres might even be worse than Houston.

Oh man, kick-ass rendition of God Bless America, and the close-ups of our Marines in the stands ... what a moment. I might have to rediscover baseball, padre.

What you've been drinking lately.
Cold, unfiltered sake is a nice treat. Like when you're in the mountains, and it's cold outside, but you're eating sushi at the lodge, and the girls come inside, shivering, cause it's so cold, but they wore only skirts and heels, and one of them comes at you from the front, the other behind, and they wrap their freezing cold arms around your neck to get warm. Kinda like that.

UI for Controllers
Wow, excellent presentation. I couldn't agree more, but I'm resigned to accept P:E as is, and quite happily. I know I could enjoy using a PS4 controller when the time comes, as it's confirmed to work out-of-the-box for PC and even Mac, but we'll see what happens. I'm not a fan of WASD or having to learn dozens of KB buttons to play, but P:E won't be like that anyway.

I now have an image of you armed with a spear with a large hound beside you at a lake. If spears come in .556 or .762, maybe.

Offical statement
I see what Wals means with the changing syntax. It does seem to imply trickery. Or whatever. It's interesting how things like shame, envy, and feeling shunned are as common with national identities as they are with individuals. This thread reminded me of learning how pissed off Japan became after they were rejected outright from discussions with other countries around WW One. They went home and polished their anger into a suicidal samurai navy and got ready obliterate the Pacific.

Oh wow, surprisingly good advert. I sense a change at the reins of their marketing.
