As someone who grew up riding my bike past the Winchester Mystery House regularly, that movie looks like a pretty lame use of great source material.

A couple swimmers got attacked by a sea lion in San Francisco recently, so there are plenty of things out there that want to eat you.

Thanks, you've echoed a few other people on that. Hopefully I do not get attacked by any sea creatures. Also that is probably the best way to test out a wetsuit ahead of time. I'd like to do the Santa Cruz Olympic Triathlon in August. I did grow up surfing and bodyboarding, so hopefully it will come back to me easily enough.

Yeah, that bothered me too. I mean, I get that Star Wars isn't science fiction, but the whole idea that you could just carve through heavily fortified ships in such a way seems pretty lame.

I meant to vote for HoMM III but messed up and voted for HoMM IX or something weird like that, so nice to see it placed highly. Life is Strange is probably the first game on this thing I know very little about. Honestly it doesn't look like my cup of tea, but everything else on the list is so good.

Hit the pool early this morning for the first time. I haven't done much in the way of laps in a few years, and even then it was once in a blue moon, so I've got my work cut out for me. The problem is I am totally comfortable doing the breast stroke and could coast through the 1200 meters for the sprint triathlon that way, but I know front crawl (freestyle) is a good 10-15 seconds faster every 100 meters. That's a couple minutes over the course of the race, but right now I can't do more than 50 meters front crawl without gasping for breathe. Just need to train and get my rhythm down. I did run 4 miles today at a 7:48 mile pace, so that felt good. edit: Sorry to hear about your cat LC. I don't know how I missed that before I posted.

I believe in order to qualify a game needs at least two voters, but I don't have the rule book on hand to check.

Just sharpie trying to be sharp. The US has been doing this for awhile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan%27s_Law

How is that a bad thing? Why would you want schools to employ people with that sort of background?

I am not sure that Alpha Protocol makes the list, but I didn't pay close attention to what other people voted for. I am glad I was able to boost LotrO up a bit. Curious where WoW will place in comparison.

Great to see the real Indy 4 making an appearance. So much better than the Crystal Skull in every way.

Dragonfall was my favorite. But really it was interesting to watch how they progressed as a development studio over the 3 games. I appreciated the simplicity of the RPG system because it made it easy to play with modding.

David Fales had a nice introduction to the NFL.

You are a bad person for having this opinion.

Already done! Actually my leg hair has been worn away from decades of wearing hockey shin guards, so I do have that as an edge.

Yep, I voted Martian Memorandum, so I'm glad that one made it.

That's only about 1600 yards. It sounds long, but really it is just about 30-45 minutes of steady pacing. That's about 2-3 minutes every 100 yards. I kind of see the swim as the easiest to train because there is little wear and tear on the body. It's strictly about building up the endurance to maintain the pace (access to a pool is another matter.) The bike is the hardest for me. I mean, I know how to ride a bike, but I have no idea about all this strategy stuff and I barely understand how my bike works. There are a lot of gears and places to put my hands.

So I've locked down my Triathlon schedule for the year. I've got a Duathlon in March which should be pretty simple. It is a 2-mile run, 10 mile bike, and then another 2-mile run. I could do that tomorrow, but the key will be to train so my second run time is decent after rubbery bike legs. Then in May I do a Sprint Triathlon, and the biggest hurdle there should be making sure I get in the pool enough to not die in the swim. In July I want to be ready for an Olympic Triathlon, so I figure the first two events will prepare me well.

Everything in moderation, I suppose. I mean, introducing something risky like a cheese grater into your sex life is only an issue if it takes over your life.

Not entirely sure myself, though I think VI was also released as III, whereas you voted for IV. I might have just messed up my numbers again like I did with HoMM. Stupid roman numerals.

Jean Claude Van Johnson is ludicrous and fantastic. I can't wait to see HUCK in theaters.

With the crazy numbering issues that early Final Fantasy games have, I do wonder if FFVI was the one I was thinking of...ah well. I tried to vote for the one with the Opera.

I think it is pretty amazing that there are only 106 that made the cut. It means we will have some heavy hitters at the top.

Yeah, I paid $105 a ticket for down behind the Knights goalie for 2 periods. The prices just didn't budge.

Huh, well I love Star Wars and I have really enjoyed sharing it with my kids. I was a bit puzzled by Episode 8, but it was still a fun flick and I look forward to the conclusion.
