  1. I'm always shocked that these games bother with all the tattoo details. Seems like a waste of assets.
  2. I think in the end it hurt him that he tried to be a more mainstream candidate than his father. There was nothing to distinguish himself from all the other candidates. If he'd really pushed libertarian values, he would have resonated more. I'm curious when Jeb Bush will drop. I'm also curious where those votes will go. I assume Rubio. edit: Who do we think is a potential VP out of these candidates? Or do you think they will go with a nobody again like they did with McCain?
  3. That will be a fun lawsuit. Maybe people will stop getting tattoos if they realize that means the artist now owns that section of your body.
  4. They've gotten pretty good. I don't really play them, instead I watch my 5-year old play them and jump in when he needs help. Batman 3 was pretty awesome, really.
  5. Ok, I tanked for a couple months and got the council taken over by aliens. I'm now up with the current canon.
  6. Day 1 purchase. For the kids, of course.
  7. I have a staff development day, so I may try sitting in the back of the meeting and getting a few turns in.
  8. Whelp, I'm on the hype train. I pre-purchased (for no reason in particular) and have a plan that involves me hiding out with my computer on Friday to get a good start on the game. I'm pretty pumped, I played a few missions of Enemy Within to get in the mood, I was thinking about tanking to get the right feel.
  9. Hmm...I'll need to read up a bit more on Rubio, but I think I recall him having some decent stances. He definitely comes across as less loony than Trump or Cruz, which will make a huge difference in the general election.
  10. I'd go Canada, but really that's because I'm already good at hockey and know the language. It may be lazy. But if we consider that cheating, I'd choose England. I like their sense of humor. Honestly the fact I've never traveled outside of North America really hurts me here, as I have nothing to judge on. edit: Given where I live, Spain or Italy would be the easiest weather transition.
  11. The nice thing about children is they do grow up and stop being nearly as much work eventually. It just looks pretty bleak sometimes. I know when I go a few nights of being alone and in charge of the kids, I get pretty dang mean. It's just overwhelming how many things I am responsible for sometimes.
  12. Speaking of moods, it must be Bruce's time of the month. misogyny!
  13. Sarcasm much? Geez Bruce, just stop. You don't have to chime in on everything.
  14. I am skeptical of both right and left wing sources. Because they are typically more interested in slinging mud at the other side than actually being an unbiased source of information. Which is basically what Rostere said. I mean, you don't ever have doubts about the party line you are buying into?
  15. Yikes Oerwinde, sorry to hear that. I'm not sure if this will help, but I've also had my fair share of rage moments with my kids. You'd think being a middle school teacher would somehow give me more patience, but sitting down to do homework with my kids typically ends up with someone yelling and slamming doors. The other day I even poured a glass of water over my daughter's head. My wife pulled me aside and said it wasn't my finest moment, and after I calmed down, I had to agree. Here is the way the situation plays out: I ask kid to do homework. First I get whining, then I get an easily distracted child, then I raise my voice, then I get a meltdown, then I raise my voice again, I get a pity party, and then I threaten punishments. Also, if I try to help her with strategies, I get "That's not how the teacher told us to do it!" I'm a fricken teacher, I can handle 3rd grade math, thank you very much. So yeah, kids are tough. Hope you get it worked out.
  16. Care to explain? We have very different economic views. My economic views are stubbornly moderate, so we might have a bit more in common than you'd think.
  17. Spending another $1000 on a car to replace spark plugs, rear shocks that are leaking, and transmission fluid. And before anyone gives me guff about doing my own work, I was a mediocre mechanic when it came to older cars back in the day, and now with all the new computer cars I know enough to know I'm not equipped to deal with that stuff. It's been a tough few months for my vehicles, I've dropped $3000 on various jobs for my two cars and the RV, and I still need to spend $1400 to fix the front wheel bearings.
  18. I've heard a lot of good things about the writing and I've checked out some of the in game books. I'm tempted but I just know all those other people running around my freaking game will ruin it for me It's been a huge help to have those people running around. The dungeons are pretty tough without someone else killing off a few mobs. They've done a good job of eliminating any of the frustrations you might get from kill stealing, etc.
  19. Care to explain?
  20. I finished the main storyline in Elder Scrolls Online. I think it was better than most of the Elder Scrolls stories, tbh.
  21. I don't really blame GM for looking out for their best interests, that's what corporations do. I blame the people in the government for sure.
  22. But by a very conservative commentator, oh no! Yeah, you are really hung up on these labels. I appreciate intelligent people in general, they don't have to check a certain box.
  23. It's unreadable because it is horribly formatted. Ads on 3 sides, a kaleidoscope of text colors, and really just a mess of columns. I mean I am sure the content is just sensationalist garbage, but it's hard to even tell without getting a headache.
  24. Congrats, a decent article from a decent site.
