Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
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.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
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.

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

You have to actually type something special in.

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?

What you did today
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.

What you did today
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.

What are you playing now.
Yeah, the camera angle bothers me as well in Wasteland 2.

What you did today
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.

Relevant: http://www.cfr.org/saudi-arabia/us-saudi-relations/p36524 Not really sure what the point of this discussion is. It doesn't make ISIS any less terrible.

Yikes, that's a bit pricey. It's hard to compare it to Wasteland 2, but I wouldn't say it is better. I think as a console game (which is why I assume it is $60) it probably will have better gameplay and graphics than Wasteland 2. But really, we are comparing two gems.- Fallout 4 is coming soon.. is there a new OB Fallout Scheduled?
It does not seem likely that Obsidian and Bethesda will work together again. While I do not think there is any bad blood between them, I'd say that Bethesda has grown too large to let anyone not under their umbrella work on Fallout.- What you did today
If you have kids, there is no such thing as a "day off"- What you did today
Why is "take care of kids" in quotations?- Movies you've seen recently
I'm not really opposed to a remake of Big Trouble, but the casting of the Rock makes me nervous. The guy is a good comedic actor, really, but he's also a larger than life action hero. Russel was basically out of his element surrounded by a bunch of kung fu masters, but I don't see how The Rock will pull that off. - What are you playing now.
