    Ah, the constant self affirmations of our insecure Russian members.

    But the Battlefield games started out with no single player experience at all. I'd say the number is fairly reversed, maybe 10% actually buy BF for the single player experience. It doesn't surprise me at all that most people play WoW to run around zones and do quests. That's the way the game hooks you in at the start. How many hours does it take you to get your character to raiding levels? I've never raided and I've played WoW off an on since the start.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we get a new candidate for MVP. Lebron is getting older and might have a bit of a championship hangover. Not sure who it might be though, but there is some young talent waiting to step up.

    Finished Luke Cage. I was excited they ended with a Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings appearance, that's one of my favorites. Simply put, this joins both Daredevil and Jessica Jones as excellent TV. Harlem was the real star of this series, they made the city a central focus and it was well done. Luke Cage and Shades were also standouts. I thought it slowed down a bit in the second half, but that was probably because I preferred Cottonmouth to Diamondback.

    The Japanese just did that to me. Thankfully I have a lot of city-state friends and they kept them busy while I mobilized an army.

    All is right in the world, Kershaw was terrible again under pressure and the Dodgers are gone from the playoffs. I'm rooting for the Cubs, but this is a great matchup between two teams in a long drought. Should be fun.

    It typically takes a full turn of moves to cross a river, I believe. So a scout can move 3 spaces across open terrain, two across rough, and only one across a river.

    I will probably pick it up. It may be something I just tinker with for a few hours, but I appreciate what the developer is trying to do and have no trouble tossing them (him?) a few bucks to keep the dream alive.

    Crwating my own religion and then sending out my acolytes was one of the most rewarding experiences ever. So far Civ 6 is meeting the hype.

    I've bought a couple former rentals, actually both my current cars and the RV were rentals. It's hit or miss, one was a real issue and has had a lot of problems, the other has been great, and the RV was also no trouble. I typically buy an extended warranty if I get a rental, but it has to be a decent price.

    Wow, that's a crazy low price for a 2015 Mazda3. Most of them in my area are priced around $18k.

    Gave in to the Civ 6 pressure. It's everything I hoped for.

    Those shoes seem like a terrible choice for rooftop moon gazing.

    There are a lot of independent used car lots that sell cars in the lower price range.

    I looked it up, seems that the recession in 2008 has helped the number quite a bit, so only 17.3 percent leave in the first 5 years. When I started in 2003 it was close to 50%. They've also improved new teacher support a lot since then, plus states are way more strict about having properly credentialed teachers in the classrooms. We are still in a pretty massive shortage though.

    Obligatory Donald Glover clip:

    Are you travelling with Tom Selleck?

    Empathy is a thing, though. The world you live in is the result of history. If you can't see that the American Indians got an incredibly raw deal, and they are still struggling because of it, that's not good. Doesn't mean you need to hang your head about it all day long, but it also seems pretty bad to just write it off as ancient history.
  19. Hurlshort
    About 50 percent do.

    Yeah, I also have been trying to convince myself that Fallout 4 is worth finishing.

    I disagree with everything you wrote and everything you stand for. Actually I agree about the abilities, but the story was fantastic.

    Not quite an RV, but still a pretty sweet ride. Looking forward to the updates!

    Looks like it might be a good conclusion to the whole Wolverine/Hugh Jackman storyline. Hard to imagine anyone else filling that role.

    Slowly releasing personal emails a month before the election in order to make the Clinton campaign look bad is pretty clearly a biased act. It's also a dangerous precedent to set, Rubio had a pretty good response to the situation: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/exclusive-rubio-talk-wikileaks-donald-trump/story?id=42895586

    I read an article today that a survey of NFL revealed that 29% of them were watching less this season, and 40% blame the protests that Kaepernick started. Which is ridiculous in a game with actual problems like CTE.
