At that point, they've likely been an alcoholic all their life, whether they knew it or not. There is a gene for it, evidently. Disparate from addictive personalities, supposedly.

Sure, what seems to be the problem ...

Chargers farewell season off to a fun start, Danny Woodhead, first carry, first TD! I'd wear my jersey but it's too friggin' hot.

Which ghost woman ... the one with the ghost husband? Anyway, agreed, the assassin quests are pure pazaak.

Sorry, sorry, I'm a drunken idiot. Climate change is real, of course, I just meant, I don't know what. I'll stop drinking and typing.

No need to pre-order, my local GS always has plenty of copies, and I'm a Power-Up Pro Rewards Member, so I get magic points for every dollar I spend, redeemable in the future for stuff I don't need. Tell you what, this Fall is going to be expensive ... Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Oct. 9, Halo 5: Guardians, Oct. 27, Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider on the same day, two weeks later, then Star Wars Battlefront the week after that. I might have to call in sick for December.

No Shady, GD MIA, and others, making watermelon Kool-Aid instead of sequentially deconstructing anti-reason ... what am I supposed to do for fun, play video games ... well, okay. Last night I started an evil Sith melee master in Knights II. He'll have double blades, heavy armor, and a seriously sour attitude. I named him Gol-gan, which I assume I mentally appropriated from some other property, but I can't recall what it might have been. His avatar is the bearded gentleman, soon to lose his healthy complexion.

Junior inducted today, bronze bust and everything.

The entire Supes drama, out of order: Man of Steel, Superman the Movie, Superman Returns, Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. Jon Cryer was the low point, the battle between Clark Kent and evil Superman the high point. Annette O'Toole owns Best Love Interest, Amy Adams wins best Lois Lane. Brandon Routh for Best Revisit of an Icon. Best Scene, Superman II, Clark Kent pulling his shirt open to reveal the 'S'. Best Musical Score, tie, Hans Zimmer, John Williams. Best Insurmountable Supervillain Eyetwitch: Michael Shannon as General Zod. Best Female of All Time: Diane Lane.

Ballast Point released a new craft brew cream ale, 'Calm Before the Storm', as opposed to their 'Victory at Sea' imperial porter. It's a nice amber color with natural flavors of coffee and vanilla. They were only in the fridge for an hour, so at around sixty degrees it tastes a bit sudsy--not sure what the correct 'mouthfeel' term for that is. Still have yet to discover the pumpkin peach ale Budweiser warned me about. edit: okay, two more since the first, still weirdly frothy. Great flavor but an odd style of drink. Maybe it's whatever makes a cream ale a cream ale, I don't know. Ballast Point has a 'Grunion' pale ale I'll try next ... 'a pair of new hop varieties lend strong yet balanced summer melon aromas and herbal flavors, while a soft caramel malt sweetness holds it all together'.

And confirmation of release on August 25. I'd bet it all on Update 100 spilling those beans, but, I guess, whatever, Gamescom.

Well, forget the demons and enjoy an anecdotal tale of mishap. Today I stepped on a paint tray full of oil-based white primer, catapult-splattering the contents in every direction except time, lost my balance, only to regain it by reflex-grabbing the closest hard object--the stove-top dial controls--unknowingly triggering two to the highest heat settings, igniting a stack of vintage '60s cookbooks over the course of eleven minutes unbeknownst to me while I was crying and wiping up what I could from the cabinets and floor, covered as they were in plastic and paper, ostensibly to prevent such incidents. I exited the kitchen for more rags, returning to a scrum of neighbors inquiring about the smell of smoke and my cohorts desperate to remove the flaming tomes. We managed to open all the windows and doors, evacuate the smoke, and clean the carbon scarring from the stove-top. No alarms went off, which was odd, and the owners of the Solana Beach ocean-view property were entirely magnanimous, reassuring me, 'it is what it is'. I choose to look at it this way--now, they know they must install proper fire alarms. So, basically, I saved their lives: two humans, a puppy, two dozen birds, including a white co*katoo, the one that screeches like an iron plate dragging across a steel hull.

whatever, Wil is a personal hero and i follow his tweets because we like the same beers although i hope he trims the beard soon also, i posted this in January, but it remains required reading for anything TNG related https://medium.com/maxistentialism-blog/star-trek-the-next-generation-in-40-hours-c4a6762cbd3

No limit hold 'em, alright. Me and Dog, forever.

I think I thought I remember they might've recently abandoned forced integration. Anyway, rock me gently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhvbFzVQq7k

God that song was so evil, along with NIN in '91, it sounded wicked on my Kenwood stack with a five-disc tray. Headhunter was the third-ever compact disc I bought, from old-time brick-and-mortar establishments called 'record stores'. Tower Records, in fact. Compact discs were forms of media, generally musical, available at walk-in stores, which replaced 'tape media' -- music printed on both sides of a magnetic tape reel playable on 'cassette tape recorders'. 'Vinyl albums' embedded with physical grooves were the primary analogue format prior to tape. The 'CD', as it became known, was a revolution.

Impressive. Happy birthday lucky jerkface. No monks made the brew I'm drinking, but it's rewarding nonetheless. Ballast Point, Victory At Sea, a 10% imperial porter 'infused with vanilla and San Diego's own Caffe Calabria coffee beans'. 8.5 on my (new) scale of 9.9, one point less than the peanut butter milk stout from yesterday--my god it was amazing in its delectable mouth feels.

I just got a free DVR upgrade from Microsoft. My Xbox One will soon record over-the-air programming and stream it to any Win10 device. I might be chuffed to bits since I don't subscribe to cable or satellite and this fall has the most exciting network TV lineup in recent memory. addendum edit: of course not until next year will the functionality be ready. That's okay I'm sure the Fall 2016 network TV lineup will be the most exciting in recent memory since the 2015 season. double awesome addendum edit: watching the MS Gamescom briefing now, +infinity points for Man of Steel theme lead-off triple redundant bush addendum edit: I'm onboard with Lara's new adventure, but why, oh why, and when, did bushes become cover and concealment. No one, in real life, ever, crouched while moving in total concealment within a deciduous bush. Not a single example in the multitude of low-growing leafy bush family of plants allows for a human-sized assassin to move freely within and without. Not idly do the leaves of Lothlórien fall, but it would indeed require a magical cloak and clasp to maneuver freely through a hedge.

I also came home with this, a 'San Diego-style pale ale' from AleSmith Brewing in honor of the late Tony Gwynn ... 'a golden pale ale full of American hop flavor and aroma with a subdued bitterness and a malty sweet finish'. I'm not a pale ale fanatic, but this brew is incredible to taste. 6%, not too shabby. Also a portion of the proceeds go to the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation.

I'm not saying it was this thread that inspired me to overspend at the market today, but I came home with a double nut brown from Mammoth Brewing, a Stone Wootstout 3.0 (13%!), a Ballast Point coffee/vanilla imperial porter, and, get this, a Belching Beaver Brewery Peanut Butter Milk Stout with notes of coffee, chocolate, and PB, brewed with rolled oats and lactose. The incredibly enigmatic part is that it's light and smooth, but dark, yet easy to drink and tastes like a best friend. 9.5/10 If Portland was good, you must come down to SD, this place is world craft beer grand central.

I want to go to there.

No nudity, but I killed an old lady in the end. 70 hours over two weekends, Knights II, christ I couldn't stop. Didn't watch the news, have no idea what the weather's supposed to be ... all I know is my Jedi Consular was unbeatable. Force Storm is so overpowered, but it's more fun than normal people playing games should have.

That's interesting, Japanese weapons ... you mean firearms? What sort of weapons ... I'd rather not search online, because internet, but if you know of any interesting examples ...
