I wouldn't be so sure, Obsidian's plan was to make PoE self sufficient and then KS another franchise. If they KS PoE2, they are pretty much just surviving as a company. I am pretty sure they are adaptable to realize that they can follow the same very successful pattern of HBS and Larian. Why wouldn't you kickstart? It gives you a good chunk of revenue up front without a publisher, it helps you set design goals, etc.

He was cleared of any manslaughter charges. Not really surprising, given the details of the case. Being involved in a car accident where another driver dies doesn't immediately make you guilty of manslaughter, despite the court of public opinion.

Again, just a bizarre way to approach entertainment. I am just looking for good performances and a fun movie, pretty sure I will get it. Also, Mad Max was incredibly fun, if you spent any time looking for pc garbage in that action fest, I feel bad for you.

This is such a bizarre statement to me. It seems like you are looking for political correctness, just so you can point at it and dislike it. Wouldn't you rather just enjoy stuff? There was no blatant political correctness in the trailer, but you've clearly already made up your mind as to what the movie will be. That seems like a shame.

That homer to tie it was awesome. But the Royals won it on the basepaths. Great series!

You know, I've played a lot of this game, but that still sounded like a foreign language to me.

I'm waiting pretty impatiently for the next RPGMaker. I've got a pretty solid script written up, so I'll see if I can bring it to life.

That's some crazy stuff. But it would make the whole thing much more entertaining if true.

So you want to protect freedom by controlling major private companies? There are a gajillion social media options out there. Twitter will not be at the top forever, and if they make moves that end up making themselves obsolete, they get to hang out with Myspace in the has been pile. Sounds like a win-win.

Twitter is a privately owned company, they can do whatever they want in this regard. Whether that is the smartest business decision is another matter, as the more they limit it, the more they may open up space for competitors. But yeah, hardly a harbinger of doom.

Well there most likely are, given Louisiana's economy. But that doesn't necessarily take away from the idea that it will help with the economy of the area.

Nah, I'd rather do a day spa and something more reasonable.

That's not in Yountville is it? Nope, it's not French Laundry, which is pretty famous. It's a fairly new place called Manresa in Los Gatos. I think the most I've spent on a dinner was about $400. That was at Nobu in Vegas.

I've been trying to figure out a reasonably priced little getaway for the wife and me over the holidays, when I stumbled upon a 3-star michelin rated restaurant in our area. Most of them tend to be in the city, so that was a nice surprise. Then I looked at the menu, it is $210 each, and it would be another $180 each if we want the wine pairing. Holy moly!

It was probably not aired because no one really cares about gamergate or video game misogyny.

Well I did a test run with my 5-year old and we watched the trailer together. He talked the whole time, so he's out for at least my first time seeing it. He kept saying "Those guys fight rough!"

At least Jim Webb got Alec Baldwin as his impersonator for SNL. That's a pretty good pull.
