  1. I have no idea what is in my ps4 or wii u. That is the luxury of them. Unlike my pc, which I research meticulouslyand troubleshoot regularly.
  2. I guess I should have qualified my statement with adults, since yes, I get treated to such behavior regularly with children.
  3. Steam ID: simultaneouslovinbaby Games: Stick of Truth Cooking Dash Love Chef
  4. I don't know who the person is, do they only write about console stuff? You wouldn't really need to be all that well versed in the technical stuff if you were. Kind of odd to trumpet your ignorance on social media though.
  5. It's always weird to me when people try to justify something by pointing out how bad other things are.
  6. The insurance lobby ain't no chump, that's for sure. They made sure they will still get theirs. But I am not sure about the paying higher taxes if you stick with your previous plan. I believe that is only if your plan was previously lacking in some way and now you are incurring more costs. The problem is every employer and every insurance company is different, and can dictate different rules depending on their strength. Eh, all I know is that health care in this country is a mess and Obamacare seems to only make it messier.
  7. So everyone is ok with Shady putting 5 planes in his top 3 list?
  8. A plan of action to keep the kids safe and busy so you can get some quality time with the wife? Or, depending on how well you know Vegas... maybe inquire if the concierge might know some quirky and interesting places to visit that aren't pure gambling and still potentially family friendly? I would never bring my kids to Vegas, this is an adults only trip.
  9. I just got an email today from a concierge about my upcoming Vegas trip. I have no idea what to ask for.
  10. There is no going back! You are now a registered Canadian and are expected to vote, watch Ice Hockey, and drink maple syrup directly from the tree.
  11. Yay! I was travelling and I'm a bit jealous Gifted beat me to posting this great news. As for the fact that we got there through the Supreme Court instead of legislation, I will repeat my mantra about the courts protecting the minority against a tyranny of the majority. When it comes to civil rights, I am more concerned with equality than the opinion of the masses.
  12. Yes, they are. "Vilification of that battle flag and the Confederacy is part of the cultural revolution in America that flowered half a century ago. Among its goals was the demoralization of the American people by demonizing their past and poisoning their belief in their own history." What an overly wordy and simply odd way to characterize the civil rights movement.
  13. I totally read that as Arkham Knight porn report.
  14. Volo, you seem to be struggling with basic reading comprehension lately and I wish you the best of luck with your disability.
  15. You can buy Black Panther goods at Walmart? 'It's just a bloody flag' is an odd sentiment. Flags, by their nature, are symbols of something greater. Personally I've never been one to get hung up on symbols, nationalist, religious, or otherwise. But I recognize what a powerful part they play on human nature.
  16. I do think Rockstar actually has a solid direction when it comes to storylines and writing. Sure, they are basically clinging on to Scorsese films and Boyz in the Hood to create their mythos, but it is clear they are doing the research. It actually comes across as a bit too serious for me, I'd rather see the fun that Volition brings to the table. Outright mockery for the win.
  17. I'd say a large part of the gaming demographic cares very little about the writing. Hence the games at the top of the charts. That's why it is actually important to both expand the demographic reach of video games and support more niche products that appeal to you individually.
  18. I've told this before, but my ps3 copy of Saints Row 2 locked up on the final mission and became completely unplayable. The game just died. I put in about 60 hpurs before then, so I wasnt too mad. But I dont think the issues were limited to the porting process.
  19. I'm not really getting the impression that there is a big group in SC fighting to keep the flag up. The governor has led the charge to remove it. Also, cynicism, yikes. Cultures change over time. Not having a symbol that has become analogous to the Civil War, slavery, and racism flying above the State building seems like a pretty simple place to start.
  20. Flags are pretty important symbols. This kid basically worshiped that flag, and the nation in large part is now turning its back on that symbol. We can't bring back the dead, but we can make it clear that the country is united against this type of terrorism. Because again, flags are important.
  21. We aren't taking a big RV trip this summer, but I am packing up for a short two night trip to San Francisco. We will be taking a ferry over to the Giant's game tomorrow and will walk around the city afterwards. Near the end of July we are also going to Portland for a week (and a wedding) so that will be good. My plan is to go to New York in the RV next summer.
  22. The only people who consented to the flag being up at the South Carolina State House are a bunch of legislators from the 1960's. Other than that, of course I agree with you.
  23. Bo and Luke have already been shopping for a new car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Vngk047bQ
  24. I'm certainly not talking about banning the flag, or limiting the rights of rednecks to put their flag wherever they want. Having it fly above the state house is an entirely different thing. Will bringing it down solve racism in the south? Certainly not. But it will fix a stupid piece of legislature.
  25. I assumed it was. But as I said, right now they are banned from removing the flag. There should not be a legal mandate saying they have to fly the flag above the state house. It should have been easy for the governor to say "You know what? This is not the best time to have this flag up."
