Sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch Orogun. I don't know if it will help, but I always try and remind myself that there is no rush to get to the end. We will all get there eventually, and no matter what you believe happens after, it is final. But there is plenty we can do to make the trip a bit more enjoyable. Drinking is one thing, the thought of a good beer can get me through a few of my tougher tasks, but that also can lead to some headaches, literally and figuratively. I'd say the biggest change I've made recently that really improved my life is being more active. Playing hockey has always been a good way for me to keep my sanity week to week, but I've also started running and doing yoga. It gets addicting, and that is a pretty good thing to be hooked on. Best of luck, I'm sending you positive thoughts.

I got campaigner (ENFP-A) Variant: Assertive Role: Diplomat Strategy: People Mastery Basically me and Ros are the same person.

I hope they can get Uwe Boll to direct.

Yeah, it's a few bucks off right now on Steam, so I've been thinking about pre-ordering it.

Schools change to help whichever demographics are struggling. At my predominantly Asian school, we are supposed to focus on raising the test scores of the white kids, because they perform lower than anyone else. Volo is becoming harder to read than Gromnir. Realistically though, the good teachers just focus on helping whoever needs it the most, regardless of race or gender. But superintendents, administrators, and talking heads need stuff say in order to justify their salaries.

I am disappointed in Hoonding's choice for a hot flash joke. Clearly you people do not spend enough time around middle aged women.

I think I was about 12 when I played the first Warcraft. It was a pretty amazing game at the time. THen WoW recaptured that imagination. The first time I explored a keep was great.

Well I would love some furniture that wasn't as old as the school itself. Our tables and chairs seem to be designed to be as uncomfortable as possible. But getting a district to replace furniture in every classroom is an uphill battle, I'm guessing I'll get new stuff the year before I retire.

Saint's Row 5 is already out, and it takes place in Hell.

Kids are way less tied to their seats than they used to be. It is standard pedagogy to get kids moving, talking, and interacting with materials. Not always easy with 35 kids in a room, but it happens.

Apparently Punisher will feature heavily in the new Daredevil season. Given how awesome that first season was, and given he is my favorite comic book character, I'm pretty excited.

Yikes Nep, my wife had that. It was worse than the colonoscopy according to her.

My thinking is that in 1000 years people will look back on what we know at this point in time just like we look back on the people of 1000 years ago. We are really just getting started.

Given the size and scope of the known universe, I doubt we are close to the upper limit.

Debating whether to go to bed or watch this through.

I suppose that is your punishment for playing on a console.

You have to actually type something special in.

You must have played a different NWN2 than me.

This is clearly the work of Satin.

Since Murphy has been giving credit to God for all of the homers he hit earlier, I wonder if that means he can blame God for the errors?

Before I had kids, I would daydream about raising them to be spiritually versatile and adaptable, along with the standard physical and academic range of skills. But then I had them and the reality is it's a big deal just to keep them alive.

I have no idea what this means. Probably time to start drinking, like GD.

I am watching my 5 year old run around at gymnastics, and it is pretty hard not to see life as special while doing that.

Yeah, the camera angle bothers me as well in Wasteland 2.

Not me. I am of the mind that people are just slabs of meat and our existence is short and pointless. Nothing about us is special and life is ultimately without meaning or purpose. I think it's a pretty optimistic view of things. Ah, the self assurance of youth.
