I'm enjoying it, fantastic character development system. Once again, a game that seems to understand the magic of a good skill and perk system. I'm looking at you Bethesda.

Republican Presidential Debate
"In 2008, ABC asked two actors to play the role of an unwelcoming shop keeper and a Muslim customer in a Waco, Texas, bakery. Over and over, the female actor would enter and attempt to order a pastry; over and over, the man posing as the sales clerk insulted her faith and refused to serve her." The media has to stage anti-Muslim incidents because they can't find any in real life.

Hey man, that 8 year-old probably deserved it. I may have misread your post.

Harrison Ford crashed his airplane recently too. But he's also 73, we should all hope to be that limber at his age.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
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.

What are you playing right now?
Chaos Reborn? I pledged it and have it on Steam, but I've never actually played it. I don't know why.

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.

Republican Presidential Debate
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.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
They did poke fun at that though, with Han Solo saying "It's bigger, we get it."

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
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.

What you did today
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.

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.- Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
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.- What you did today
My wife had me watch the end of the Miss Universe pageant last night. Comedy gold. I feel for Steve Harvey.- The drinking thread
I actually have a Hefeweissen on tap at my place right now, so enjoy. Is that a large can, by chance?- The drinking thread
Beer does go bad, so keep that in mind, Woldan.- Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

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.- Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
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.- NFL 2015 Season
