  1. Is there something wrong with them waiting until after the holiday to activate the event? I like my games, but I don't expect people to give up time with family over the holidays so I can hunt down bounties.
  2. I'm pretty sure everyone hates the NCAA.
  3. Chaos Reborn? I pledged it and have it on Steam, but I've never actually played it. I don't know why.
  4. It sounds like a few of us made the mistake of going to the rail area up high before the caves. Once I figured out I was exploring the wrong area, the game got a good deal easier.
  5. It's hard to take someone seriously who uses childish nicknames for the President of the United States, and then is too lazy to even update them to be more topical.
  6. They did poke fun at that though, with Han Solo saying "It's bigger, we get it."
  7. To be fair, it did look for a short while like Shia Labeouf was going to be a decent actor. But then he turned out to be a crazy person. Ah, hollywood. I should add that a good chunk of the enjoyment I am getting out of this film comes from the fact I get to share it with my kids. I took my daughter to opening night, and she had a blast. She came home from school the next day with pictures of BB-8, R2D2, and the map that they had displayed. It is great that I can share that with her. She is reading a Princess Leia comic in her room right now.
  8. My wife had ACL surgery about 6 weeks ago, and we went wine tasting today. Given that she hasn't had anything to drink since the surgery, she became a pretty cheap date and then promptly passed out. Good times.
  9. I did go to SJSU. Believe me, I was as surprised as anyone else that we made a bowl game based on academics. I love my alma mater, and I think people often overlook that it has a few outstanding programs, but I've never thought of it as an academic powerhouse. I'm not sure exactly how they figure out the Academic Progress Rating, but this is the link to it: http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/research/division-i-academic-progress-rate-apr SJSU had a 975. I'm not sure how that ties into graduation rates, as there is a lot more that goes into that aspect. Here is a story from your source: http://www.scout.com/college/san-jose-state/story/1554785-sjsu-improves-academic-progress-rate Probably more than you want to know about SJSU Edit: Cal should be ashamed. But Berkeley is a weird place.
  10. I've always seen Drowsy as the drunk Uncle of the forums. That is meant as the highest compliment. https://youtu.be/qHphZpCUHko?list=PLvJQozye4lE8LhvqvEvNhhuVsZQXOPwzk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHphZpCUHko&index=4&list=PLvJQozye4lE8LhvqvEvNhhuVsZQXOPwzk bleh, no idea what is happening with my attempt to link.
  11. My wife had me watch the end of the Miss Universe pageant last night. Comedy gold. I feel for Steve Harvey.
  12. I actually have a Hefeweissen on tap at my place right now, so enjoy. Is that a large can, by chance?
  13. Beer does go bad, so keep that in mind, Woldan.
  14. Well we could probably read the book for more background, but It has pretty mwdiocre reviews.
  15. All you other Santa Shady's are just imitatin'
  16. I wouldn't read too much into this thread. Most of the folks that enjoyed it posted such and then left. I would call it a great movie, and that seems to be supported by critics and al the non-internet people I know.
  17. KotOR did the same, but better IMO, while JJ Abrams simply crossed the line with too much of it, again IMO. My bigger gripe was with Rey, does her character have any faults at all? It was just boring. You mean the girl who kept bugging to go back to the desert planet because "she is waiting" for someone? Yeah, I'd say she has issues. She wouldn't even take the lightsaber. Sure, she was less whiny than Luke, but she has the same faults that he did.
  18. Well, considering my college doesn't actually make money, I assume Volo isn't talking about me. I think the band outnumbered the fans at our bowl game last night. Still, we won! Go highest academic scoring programs!
  19. I'm a bit surprised at the people grumbling about it being episode IV all over again. That movie came out 38 years ago. Is it really a problem that they are following the same blueprint?
  20. Those bandits are crazy tough. Had to break out a couple stim packs.
  21. I did that once, ended up hiding out in our complex's laundry room for a few hours until my wife got home. Had no cell phone on me.
  22. Huh, I wasn't a fan of Skyrim's story either. I think I liked the start of Fallout 4 better than most Bethesda titles. But once I entered that first town, it went downhill. I haven't finished the story, I figure I'll get around to it over the next 7 years.
  23. Not Einstein, Eisenstein, meaning Sergei Eisenstein, who was Soviet film director, who are noted for his silent films like Strike (1925), Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1928) and his historical epics like Alexander Nevsky (1938) and Ivan the Terrible (1944, 1958). I would say that his style was much different than what Michael Bay for example uses. Ah, my mistake, I am chagrined.
