Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
In case you haven't noticed, reddit and the media are triumphly declaring that it is not censorship. It is about creating sound environments for constructive discussion. We do not need a history book to know what kind of spiral they have started now. But I would really recommend reading some history books, because then maybe you'd spend less time worrying about this stuff.

What you did today
I did some massive re-organizing in our garage to clear up space for our spring loaded flooring and gymnastics equipment. Kind of a rough way to spend the first day of summer break, but we are having a birthday for our little guy tomorrow and it's a good play space. My fitbit registered it all as active time, so that's cool. Now I'm hydrating and then I've got an 11 PM hockey game.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
The f2p works in the beginning, but later on you will be severely restricted by it. Compared to other games (like Rift as an example) it´s a horrifically bad one. Well it's actually a preferred account, since it used to be an active sub. I think it will be fine for a 5 year old.

Chris Avellone leaves Obsidian
You get tenure pretty early on. What really keeps people in their place is the fact that most school districts will not give you more than 10 years credit when moving to a new job, so you can take a pretty significant pay cut if you leave after more than 10 years.

Ive been at the same place for almost 20 years. Huh. Maybe it's just an education thing, but we get a solid amount of people getting antsy to move on in between the 10-15 year mark. Some do, some stick it out. Once you hit 20, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel though.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
I've actually been playing this with my 5 year old son a bit. It's nice that I don't have to pay for his account, since we basically hang out on the start planets and fight bad guys. Actually my son prefers the dark side, so I guess we fight good guys.

The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread..
It's more of the actual dishonesty than the identifying with a different culture or race, for myself. Although I am reticent to fully trust the parents, they seem a bit shady. There is some stuff that they seem to be nitpicking on. They admit she lived in a teepee and has some native american heritage, but they are quick to dismiss it in their efforts to undermine her. Not really a healthy family.

He is a co owner, not just a worker. That really doesn't change anything. 12 years is a long run. It's very common to want a change around that mark.

I figured wearing heavy platemail makes people walk funny.

Has anyone here worked at one place for 12 years?

What are you playing now?
I forgot what a pain it is to navigate the DC Metro system in Fallout 3.

That is exactly what I expected from that movie based on the trailers.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
It's a bummer they can't get Thomas Jane, but he seems like a decent choice.
