Trump may be ruthless when he thinks it's necessary, but I don't think he's a nasty guy. Then you are totally blinded by your loyalty.

It would not be surprising if he did. They are both terrible, yay.

Watched the first episode of Luke Cage. It has a tremendous amount of style. I like him a lot better than Daredevil, although I'm not sold on the villains yet. So far Jessica Jones is still my favorite, but this one seems more fun than both DD and JJ.

My commute on Friday has all the characteristics of a great American novel. It begins with a sense of anticipation and excitement, followed by tragedy and loss, acceptance and reflective thought, a sudden twist or two, then a rising story arc before the exhaustive conclusion.

I see myself giving Sunless Sea another shot someday. I think I need to be in a certain headspace, or at least be prepared to do a good amount of reading. But many games are like that, I often put them down and come back under better circumstances.

The hype train comes full circle.

We all know that snopes is just a liberal shill.

Nope. It's a shame, really. Trump has been consistent in saying terrible things about people, but Clinton seems to be playing it safe.

My wife and I get to pour wine for a local winery this weekend, so that should be fun.

Still plugging away at WoW, I have my Death Knight up to level 81 and am looking to start the cataclysm content.

Geez, why can't she talk like that in the debates? I mean, there were a few moments when she went off the rails talking about faith and her daily spirit guide, but she handled the talk about self consciousness and the struggle with ego with incredible grace. Great question and great response.

NEO Scavenger was a pretty fun post apoc game, but definitely not big budget.

I never got into Sunless Sea. I'm not sure why it didn't hook me. I'm not a big Lovecraft guy either though.

Didn't Trudeau save someone's life recently? I thought about him, but I can't say I have much to go on other than him seeming charismatic. But really, it's difficult to look at current leaders and say they are great. Usually it takes a decade or so to reflect on what they really accomplished, unless they've been in an extraordinary situation. Fox, for example, was. It was pretty much a miracle that he ended up in office.

I read a great book about Vincent Fox when I was in college. I'd agree with Johnson's choice. Can't say there are any current world leaders I'd be comfortable backing.

Ah, totally forgot they kickstarted a Bard's Tale. Yeah, they need to slow down their pledge drives.

Yeah, I don't get it. The first time in awhile we see a solid bipartisan vote and it is for a terrible piece of legislature.

What was the 3rd? I was perturbed when they put out the Torment kickstarter before W2 was released, but then W2 came out, was good, and they even supported it with a very nice DC. That makes me more forgiving. Plus Torment seems to be very far along, meaning they probably have finished all the content creation and are just polishing, which likely doesn't need the same size team. So it doesn't bother me that they are launching the next one, as Torment is close enough to finish and they successfully pulled off Wasteland 2.

What other games are you talking about? Wasteland Fallout Fallout 2 Fallout Tactics Fallout Brotherhood of Steel Fallout 3 Wasteland 2 Fallout New Vegas Fallout 4 the end of the world never ends Oh, you meant actual Fallout games, I thought you meant games that mimic the old school style of Fallout 1 and 2. Wasteland 2 is the only new game that is doing that. Wasteland 2 is a pretty different setting too. It shares the post-apoc stuff, sure, but it doesn't have any of the 50's retro setting, it's fairly grounded in reality when it comes to weapons, etc.

Wasteland 2 was excellent. The complaints seem to be more about how InXile handles their PR then the actual game. What other games are you talking about?

That is brilliant, Gizmo. They better let us mod that in.

Yeah, looks a little rough, but it dropped the right names to perk my interest.

I was surprised how much Trump continued to rail against American companies moving to Mexico. Not only is Mexico not at the top of that list (China is a better target) but it would seem to contradict his whole wall building rhetoric. Is Mexico stealing American jobs or are Mexicans crossing the border and stealing jobs in the US? China is also a much better target for this rhetoric, because they are barely bringing in any American goods. It is an imbalanced relationship, while our trade relationship with Mexico has actually balanced out more over the last decade. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/aug/27/donald-trump/trump-says-us-companies-moving-mexico-more-almost-/ http://fortune.com/2015/08/10/is-donald-trump-right-that-mexico-is-killing-us-on-trade/

They don't have cable. They are Trump supporters, but they feel like he is not doing well. I can't really tell, it is hard to listen to either one.

Somehow I ended up with neighbors over thay wanted to watch it. This is ugly. Bit surprised how long they've spent on business talk. That would seem to favor Trump.
