Dragon Age: Inquisition vs The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Disney Age sounds fantastic, by the way. It would be a day one purchase from me if we could run around Neverland instead of Ferelden.

XCOM 2
Bad idea. Xcom Enemy Unknown was a bug fest at release and for a few months later. And the infamous teleport bug was not fully fixed until the expansion. Or a great idea, since we want more of these types of games to be made and the best way to ensure that is to support them at release. I thought the teleport bug added a fun challenge.

What you did today
You have the Main Strip, and you have Fremont Street. Those are the main tourist and casino areas, although there are lots of places off on their own, or set a bit back from the main roads. I tend to stick to the strip, being the touristy type, although my wife and I had an adventurous night out with a few locals last trip that started in a slightly scary part of town called the Art District and ended at a video game club on Fremont Street. There was some shots and break dancing involved. But I'm pretty sure Bruce was talking about clubs with naked ladies.

If SJW's are all murdering nazis, then GGer's are all rapists. You can't have your hyperbole on one side only!

Esports still on the rise
To me, it's always going to be more like competitive fishing or bowling. Yes, you can make some good money at the top, but it is still primarily a hobby for most. Although it could grow to be as big as poker, if they can tap into any celebrity power.

Dragon Age: Inquisition vs The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Yeah, that's basically my issue with the series. Also, both of these fantasy worlds are super depressing. It would be nice if they lightened it up a bit. Plus the romance and sex stuff is stupid.

I've never really seen the appeal in a strip club. It seems like a waste of money. I'd rather take that and spoil my wife, the returns are better. My wife and I have talked about checking one out, but she'd rather go see a show. If I'm going to drop a hundred bucks to get touched, I want someone who will work out all the nasty knots I've got in my back.

The Latest Reading Thread
I've actually been reading a pretty humorous chronicle about a writer who managed to convince a publisher to give him a $50k advance, so he could be a high roller in Vegas. It is hilarious, and despite being 15 years old, is still relevant. http://www.amazon.com/24-Living-It-Doubling-Down/dp/0440509092 The author is a pretty solid journalist, and has some fun analyzing Dostoevsky and Hunter S. Thompson while on his month long gambling odyssey. He interviews a bunch of locals, and gives some good details on a few of the games as well. It was a perfect primer for my upcoming trip.

I tend to enjoy the awesome places to eat and the world class spas when I'm in Vegas. I feel like a chump if I lose more than a few bucks at the tables, not a fan of that.

Bro', that's not the Golden Horde. That's the whole Mongol asterisking Empire. With a bit of massaging, since the GH and the Ilkhanate had already split from them at that point, to all practical purposes. GH/ Mongol Empire successors lasted until the Crimean Tartarate/ Khanate in 1780 (ish), which just goes to show how educational games are since this is all gained from Crusader Kings/ Europa Universalis. I knew someone was going to nitpick that. It sounded much cooler to say Golden Horde so I went with that. edit: And don't give me grief, about being a history teacher. It is summer break and this ain't my classroom.

What you did today
So after 4 hockey games in the last 2 days, I'm a bit sore, but I managed to get out for a short run today. I've been trying to get some color as well, since my shirt tan line is usually fairly blindingly white, so I've been running shirtless. It freaks me out a little, and I tend to run faster than I normally do, which always hits me about halfway through the run. I think I'm trying to run away from my shame. But it is working, I no longer signal ships into the harbor when I take my shirt off. I'm ready for the pools in Vegas.

Hey, let's give the Golden Horde some credit, they controlled a pretty big chunk of land too.

I'd consider basketball players better all around athletes than football players. Really, depending on your position, you do some dramatic things to withstand the punishment you will take in football. Basketball combines skill, strength, speed, endurance, etc. I'd throw hockey in the mix to, but I'm obviously biased.

Charleston church massacre
I guess I should have qualified my statement with adults, since yes, I get treated to such behavior regularly with children.
