Playing Arkham City a bit. I loved Asylum but never got hooked into the sequels. Maybe this time I will stick with it. Also trying to resist the urge to buy the new AssCreed. I will try to wait for a sale.

We used to force people into treatment quite regularly though. The deinstitutionalization of psych wards is a pretty complex case. I want to see way more progress made in mental health care in this country and would love if that were the dominant conversation over gun control or Islamic extremism. Personally I think we've become too focused on drugs over treatment and education.

I agree with this.

The chicken flying was a mode? Yep. Did you watch the video? They explained it and put in a disclaimer.

That wasn't a bug, it was a developer version and Conan kept unlocking the developer god mode.

The thinking behind it is pretty nefarious though. It's meant to encourage players to become jealous of each other's gear and be motivated to spend more. It's all backed by hard data and research. Sure, it's pretty blatant, but every commercial product is trying to get you to spend money.

He also wants to come here, which is a big deal, as not many sluggers want to play in SF.

Stanton to SF!

Honestly though MMO's have been doing this stuff for ages. I've seen a few quests that revolve around taking part in some weird social interaction over the years.

The horse DUI is a somewhat common issue in rural areas. It's dangerous enough riding a horse near cars when sober, we had a guy down the street get killed last year on his horse after coming home from a party. You can get cited on a bicycle as well. edit: Horses weigh a ton. Literally. A Toyota Yaris is the same weight as a heavy horse.

They need to do something else with the Overwatch world. I like all the characters and the setting but have little interest in the genre.

Remember when people got upset about the IRS targeting conservatives under Obama? The new tax code literally named Stephen Curry, who had a little twitter spat with the President earlier in the summer. Good to see them taking the high road.

My landlord said he was going to write up a new lease. That was about 6 months ago.

Yeah, go visit Bruce in SA. He totally won't murder you, honest truth.

Finally pushed the The Defenders. I mean, I enjoyed parts of it, but it really dragged. Iron Fist was just terrible, and the story was just not that engaging to me. I hope Punisher is back on track.

Corporate taxes make some sense within reason because we still need to fund consumer protection agencies. I don't want borax in my food.

Only? You are giving 40% of your salary to the government. After state taxes it could be over half your salary, depending on where you live.

That's an understatement. Into the bullpen now for both squads. I hope Houston stays ahead, but I'm not betting on anything in this game.

Kind of prophetic that they went with a space theme and now the next game 7 is them playing the Astros.

Bummed that the Astros couldn't get to Rich Hill. This figures to be a much tougher match up, but who knows what will happen in this crazy series?

Was it? Gaming has come a long way in the last 15 years, I didn't even notice if it was.

Brewed a Hefeweizen today. It was a pretty simple one, although I think I will dry hop it to add a bit of complexity.

I thought the Polish jokes came from the apocryphal story about Polish cavalry charging German tanks in WW2? Does every industry in Poland have unions? Most tech jobs in the US do not.

Made it to Gondor in LotRO. The music is a lot like Arcanum. I'm loving the area, probably the most scenic so far. Much better than Rohan.

Yep. Are they going to put an asterisk next to this season?
