I actually love to drive. I've driven my RV across the country, I'd rather drive for 7 hours to get to Vegas than make the hour and a half flight. Unfortunately 90% of my driving is spent sitting in traffic trying to get to or away from work. Automated freeway driving would be more efficient, vastly cut down on accidents, and free me up to do other stuff. I fail to see how that is giving up independence. I am telling the car where to go.

I would read that book. It should be required reading around here.

Teacher giving up independence, sad This is stupid. The independence to sit in traffic? To drive in a straight line on a freeway? Oh noes, my liberty! I love when people try to justify doing menial tasks by calling it independence. I have a dishwasher in my house too, I really give up the freedom to hand wash everything.

I just want self driving cars. I should be able to just tell my car where to go so I can focus on important stuff like debating on forums. Holding a steering wheel is for peasants.

Just read this, seemed a good fit for the Olympics. I went to SJSU, so it always chokes me up to read this story. We are bringing the track program after it basically fell apart in the years following 1968, so that is exciting. http://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/the-white-man-in-that-photo/

Huh, I thought Ghostbusters had pretty lukewarm reviews. I'd hardly call it love. Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 73%. The original GB is at 97%. Alternatively, Captain America Civil War has a 90%. Maybe reviewers just hate DC comics?

Why? As he said, they have a classic mode that has none of the Beamdog content. I mean, say what you will about their content creation, but they are the only ones keeping these classics updated, running, and relevant.

I was excited to hear there was a new Prey coming out, and went to watch the trailer. But then I realized they got rid of the entire Native American stuff that made the game cool, and lost complete interest.

What about Caesar? Surely he is not as acidic as they make him seem. You totally got me to look into the properties of salad dressing, bravo.

I just did.

Is it about Hitler? He is more of a solvent than rubber or glue.

I did some research, and Hiro is an adhesive epoxy. It has a resin and a hardening agent as its base, which makes the most sense, I am sure we can all agree. I am just a standard rubber band, a bit stretched out and with a couple weeks spots where I have been exposed to too much heat. But I've been places, man.

I am sure there are plenty of bad adjectives to describe me, but I don't think abrasive is the most fitting. *shrug*

I am rubber, you are glue?

Abrasive it is then.

That's not what he said at all. He is talking about proving something in a court of law. Chillax. "You could make a very strong case that Hitler was not aware of the Holocaust and that he never gave any direct orders." Learn to read historian. Feel free to apologize for this. Or, you know, just keep being abrasive.

Well the crazy thing is I see Johnson as more liberal than Clinton. Legalize pot, pro-immigration, anti-war? Sounds like every liberal arts student ever.

I don't disagree that the vast majority of the Media™ are liberal, but I don't see it as some great conspiracy. Rather the kind of person that is going to go to college and get a degree in journalism is already leaning towards liberalism. Journalistic integrity is only going to so far when you are naturally predisposed to one type of thinking.

I borrowed about $15k to get through graduate school, and I don't regret it. It is my lowest interest rate debt, I deferred it once when I was just starting out in teaching, and it is a simple $120 payment every month. I could pay it off faster, but my cars have higher interest rates and get my extra monies instead. Pretty manageable with a job.

Bravo!

I don't care when the game gets released, as long as it is good and runs well. InXile already has the benefit of the doubt from me, Wasteland 2 was great and the director's cut was even better. I'd say they more than delivered on what I was looking for as a backer, which is simply a good game. Larian, HBC, and Obsidian have all done the same, and I'll back them until they give me a lousy game. It hasn't happened yet.

Ah, I may be mixing up the numbers for PC and console. Still, that doesn't mean the console releases bombed. We have no idea what the overhead is and no idea what they pull in for each sale. It's safe to say that if Wasteland 2 really was a money pit on consoles, they would not bother with another attempt. So it must have done well enough to warrant it. Plus we also have no idea how this is being handled in house currently, jumping to conclusions and assuming they are using a bunch of backer money to fund a console game is unwarranted. They might have a team of people that are currently doing nothing and need a project. We have no idea.

After the flops of Wasteland and Divinity on consoles that's very surprising. Where did you get that information? These games don't need to sell a huge amount of units to make it profitable, they just need to cover the costs of porting. Divinity apparently moved 900k units on the consoles.
