Spent yesterday at Disneyland, today we hit California Adventure Park. My feet andy wallet hurt, but the kids are having fun. Space Mountain is as fun as I remember it being 20 years ago, so was Pirates. Star Tours was less cool.

So what do you folks think of Srinivasan? He isnt exactly a liberal choice. He would seem to be the best of the moderate candidates available. I am not convinced Obama will throw out a liberal choice just to be rejected. It would seem to be a waste of time for him.

Looks like I will get a headache 5 minutes in. Thats what she said.

So, like, what if Obama nominates a conservative justice? It isnt exactly unprecedented. There also isnt a super long list of serious candidates, so yeah.

Spurs and Thunder might be a pretty good bet at those odds. Thompson doesnt make your 3rd NBA team list?

You get hit in the head by a brick. Wait, wrong text adventure.

Are you asking if your posting style wears on people?

I used to shave my head every couple months to keep it in check, but the other day I noticed my head from above in a video feed, and it appears that my bald spot has taken over and it's really more of a hair patch surrounded by skin. So now I'm shaving once a week.

Uh oh, Val is going to take his ball and go home. We better lay off guys. This whole courtroom is out of order! Fantastic quotes of Scalia, btw Gromnir. I don't know how they will replace his opinions.

Finished it after 40 hours, but I still have lots left to do for a second playthrough. I enjoyed the last mission, and I lost a key member of my team plus had one get knocked out, so it was a good challenge. Props to my grenadier for executing two of the avatars that dropped in on her. I had my team spread out a bit and it made them pinball around in an entertaining fashion. Dragonball Commander was pretty dang powerful.

I will miss Justice Scalia. He balanced out the liberal elements of the court while still being thoughtful and understanding of opposing views. He also completed the greatest odd couple in government with Ginsberg.

The money stuff is pretty crazy. It's like their stuck a few decades in the past. Maybe the roles are smaller, which would explain it, but it still sounds ridiculous.

Welcome to a life of luxury GD. There is no going back. Next you'll be buying a memory foam mattress for that bad boy.

whip smart, elegant, and ambitious is hardly sexist. The only one that is sad is "model pretty but life has taken its toll" but it's probably not a comedy.

But he's not saying he was scared to get hurt, he is saying his leg was positioned awkwardly to make the dive. He repositioned and then dove in.

Lols. Heh, but honestly $4400 will go pretty quick in the club.

Yeah, see that makes more sense. He felt he was in an awkward position originally. He did jump in a second later and try to get it. That is a justified reason for him hesitating.

Thinking on the dogpile play a bit more, I doubt he was thinking about avoiding an injury on the play. This game is happening at an incredibly fast rate, it's easy to look at a .gif and question the guy, but really it's tough to make the right choice that quick. That's why they practice and drill all the time, but this type of play is hard to prepare for. I mean, if his thoughts are really about avoiding injury, football probably isn't a great career choice.

Oh good, Val is back.

I never frequented GT, but it's always sad to hear people have lost their jobs. Props for a 13 year run though, that isn't easy to do.

Yeah, I was getting worried at one point when my avatar timer was about 3 clicks away from completion, but then I did a couple missions and killed an avatar, and I got it down fast.

Going back to work today after 3 days of solid play has been difficult. I need my fix!

Yeah, that was a weird move by Cam. I wonder if he will try to explain it?

Yeah, when EA was beating banks during the foreclosure crisis, I stopped paying attention to that competition.

I'm not defending the pre-order scheme, I'm just telling you it is a typical advertising campaign for all sorts of businesses. I went to the grocery store yesterday and they gave me a bunch of monopoly pieces and a board. If I collect enough pieces, I can win a million dollars. They want me to go buy more groceries so I can get more tickets, they want me to talk about it with my friends and exchange pieces. You know what my chances of winning are? 1 in about 2 trillion. None of those doodads were important to the game, btw. There was a couple skins, some books, and a song. The only one that might be arguable is the bonus mission and the 4 day head start, but even that is a stretch. These were silly doodads that weren't worth getting excited or enraged about. And guess what? It fell flat. People complained about it, and it got scrapped. Mission accomplished. That's good news for both of us, I'd think. It was dumb, but trying to make it out to be something sinister is stretch. They are a business and they are trying to drum up business. That's all there is to it.
