    Today I tried to figure how many dog days are equal to one human day. Seven dog years to one people year, but seven days to one doesn't sound right. My calculator was no help. I did it because last night some neighbor set off an hour's worth of explosions and July 4th for dogs is SCARY LOUD NEVER ENDING BOOM day. Pretty sure fireworks are illegal here.

    Mrs. Shot with the Avengers t-shirt, you are familying correctly.

    I feel like The White March is the Pillars game they wanted to make. No backer NPCs, Soulbound weapons, more scripted interactions, good pacing, musical score for the ages, no backer NPCs. Maneha the barbarian is hilariously lethal and Zahua the monk has the best voice in the game. I finally beat Concelhaut. Feels good to turn a lich into giblets.

    Yeah, of course Mac is a favorite. Miami Vice is coming out in HD, too, but I don't think I need it.

    A second sixteen-hour straight session of PoE, White March. Music is so good.

    Knight Rider blu-ray, complete series, October 4. Just waiting on Magnum P.I. to join Airwolf and KITT in the holy eighties HD triumvirate.

    I can't get drunk, I spent all my beer money on pants. Lucky Brand knows I'm a loyal, degenerate denim floozy with no self-control against a sale thirty-cents on the dollar. I got two pair 181 Relaxed Straight, one 410 Athletic Fit, and a 367 Vintage Boot.

    This Angels @ Red Sox game is off the chart. Most runs scored in Boston since 1980 and it's still top of the seventh. *most runs by the Angels in Boston since '80, I meant

    I realize my foam finger infatuation can be infuriating but it's the one thing I cling to. Knocking on wood, even though it's a poor conductor.

    It's totally worth it. I had the chance to visit in the dead of winter, all roads impassable except by snowmobile. It wasn't that cold, but a ton of snow, astonishing natural beauty.

    Who must make a Benevolent choice to acquire the amulet. Which is fine, no curses foiled, no ranks in Cruel deducted or Do-Right added. Honestly it was more interesting for my bad priest to complete the quest instead of fight the fight. Now it's time to get it on like Concelhaut.

    Made it to the end, of the Endless Paths of Od Nua, for the first time, Level 15. Not only was my corn creamed, it was shucked, chopped, diced, filleted, pureed, boiled, and steamed. A literal insta-wipe. Will need to research tactics, if there be any.

    I think the article sets a new benchmark, 36 pages. Fortunately it's well-written. Better make a sandwich and get started ...

    Some fun first day of summer photos from the team, by Justin Aikin. Balboa Park, host to the 1915 Panama-California Expo Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Windansea Beach, the famous surf shack, a protected historical landmark. My best pal had his wedding here.

    What's a siege theme, is it a strategy thing ... I thought Tyranny was using one or two strategic elements.

    No friendly fire, I believe this pleases me.

    Overdue by 60,000 years, if I remember correctly, on a cycle of 600,000 years. An eruption would make our species extinct, so, I agree, visit Yellowstone soon, while we still have flesh and can breathe and see things. I always say the Grand Canyon is my favorite place, but, it's Yellowstone.

    Same! I think this is my third or fourth vicarious vacation. Love it, especially the geology.

    Also yesterday, I installed and serviced a new seat/lid combo for the previously freakishly clean bathroom toilet. I almost opted for the model with built-in night light, but realized just in time that that is ridiculous. So I got the no-slam whisper-quiet closing mechanism. Now I never get tired of tipping it down just to see it float like a feather.

    That is true, even though some people don't believe in curses, they are real. I still say go for it. Buy it on sale, wait for 3.03.

    Gymnastics last night, swimming trials right now, my favorite time of every other year is almost here.

    Civil War t-shirt ... Team Cap!

    Can't say I've encountered any save-game bugs. No need to wait, Pillars is dirt-cheap on Steam right now, $17.99.

    I can agree the writing felt dry playing as a lawful goody two-shoes. The game's content, for me, hit its stride under the freedom of morally unlimited choices. Thaos feels more an ally, or more competitor than villain; the deity pantheon seemed inspired rather than rote; and quests like the one in Twin Elms ... stealing the life essence of a child to grant the clan leader a viable heir ... were dramatic instead of perfunctory.

    Season One blu-ray and Season Two on sale for $11.99 each, if you're like me and have never watched the show beyond the pilot episode, although if you're reading this thread, probably you're not like me.
