  1. A little late to the party. How does that guy keep getting his projects up? Doesn't KIckstarter look at them and notice they are ridiculous? He tried to raise 5 million for a farm.
  2. This is confusing. If I'm quoting someone from outside or posting a screencap, will blurring out profanity or substituting for say <bleep> be considered "a workaraound"? No, because you are editing out the vulgarities, instead of putting them in a picture or substituting a word for a number. That being said, posting a profanity laced tirade with a bunch of bleeps in it is totally unnecessary. It's really not confusing, have a mature discussion and don't post garbage. Not that I speak for the moderators.
  3. Sometimes I'm looking for a bit of socialization, sometimes I'm not. The reason I tend to like MMO's is because they allow both in the same world, and every once in awhile I will find myself in a very natural group, where I'm out fighting bad guys, and I run across another person doing the same, so we team up for a short while. I've developed a few friendships this way, in fact I've had better luck with that than seeking out any type of guild or community for a game. But as Oerwinde said, now that I have kids, most nights I would prefer a single player game where I can just escape and relax, without any pressure from other people.
  4. Robocop - The new one. It was not that good. Everything looked cool, but it was just meh.
  5. What's your beef with the strip? The locals usually stay away from it, it's really for tourists.
  6. I'm curious about that. I know you need a permit or something to panhandle in California, like you actually get a time schedule and everything. I'd bet it runs the same way in Vegas, since I've seen different people in the same spots a few times. I actually avoid walking the strip when it is busy, I'd rather take a taxi two doors down than fight the crowds. edit: I should probably clarify. I enjoy my wife in heels. I enjoy my wife being happy in Vegas. Walking the strip in heels is a great way to make the wife unhappy.
  7. Good job Cant! I've lost about 20 pounds in the last couple years, it has been nice. I was feeling really wiped out energy wise, and then I started running most days, and now I feel way better. I even ran every morning in Vegas on my last vacation, it was fun jogging along the strip early in the morning with nobody but other joggers and homeless people.
  8. It was great to see him return to the role in the new movies. He seemed ageless.
  9. Or it could just be a game in February. I do think the dubs will take a few losses going forward in order to rest their key players. Curry really doesn't need to play every game if he is having any ankle issues. He spent his first couple years struggling with health, I don't want to see that repeated.
  10. Pizza in general is fairly lacking in the Bay Area.
  11. Didn't millions of people petition for net neutrality, while a bunch of big corporations spent millions trying to strike it down? I get being concerned about big government, but I'm plenty concerned about the practices of Comcast as well.
  12. I did! I know I had a couple glasses of the Black Label Nobu. I'm fairly new to the whole process, but the waiter did a good job of explaining it all and helping us pair with our food. It didn't hit me very hard though, I'm not sure if it was all the food or if I just have a good tolerance for it.
  13. I've been thinking about my trip to Vegas last week, and I thought I'd post a few highlights. We ate very well. Nobu - This was our expensive dinner out to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. We did the Chef's Choice menu, and I ordered a couple different types of sake to compliment it. It was a crazy amount of food, I want to say about 9 courses served. My highlight was the Black Cod, while my wife loved the plate with 4 different types of tuna sushi. By the end I was ready to explode. It was very expensive. Giada's - This italian restaurant is in the beautiful Cromwell hotel and casino, and is the only one that Giada De Laurentis has a hand in. I'm a big fan of hers, so I had a blast. The food was really good, the serving sizes were just right, and we had a great view of the strip from our seats. I want to go back here next time. Price wise it was reasonable too. Rose. Rabbit. Lie. - I wanted to go here as soon as I saw the name. It did not disappoint. It is inside the Cosmopolitan, a newer and trendier casino on the strip. We ended up the The Study, which was lined with books and records. You could pick out a record and they would actually play it for you. There were hidden doors that would take you to different rooms, and they were all very unique. There was a cabaret type room and a blue club type room that I saw. The Study was perfect for our quiet date. We had a few creative ****tails and then ordered a bunch of small plates to share. There were tiny caviar tacos, rabbit fricassee, bacon brussel sprouts, and foie gras. We ended it with a creative drumstick ice cream dessert that had gold flakes on top and peanut butter and the bottom. The food was amazing and creative, and this was my favorite dining experience. It was also not too expensive, particularly compared to a place like Nobu. Highly recommended if you end up in Vegas.
  14. I'll root for Curry since he looks like a middle schooler compared to Lebron.
  15. It'll be ok, it's not like comedies are going down the drain... *watches 2 broke girls* ...well ****. At least we still have Brooklyn Nine Nine... *looks fearfully at Fox* Brooklyn Nine Nine is definitely my favorite now. I keep watching Marry Me and hoping it will get funnier. It has the cast. New Girl is still pretty awesome too. Looks like Fox will control comedy in the future.
  16. I am really thankful I am not as perceptive as you twist predictors. What a tough way to go through life.
  17. I'd say GSW has more depth, although I don't know enough about the Cavs to really say for sure.
  18. Yeah, I didn't see the twist coming at all. It was an awesome and huge shocker for me. Probably one of my top moments in gaming.
  19. Hah, I talked about that crazy Budweiser commercial with a small brewer last week. Craft beer is doing great, but it still is only at about an 8% market share of overall beer sales. That commercial came off like they are backed into a corner or something. Also, Budweiser makes plenty of fruity stuff, they own Shock Top and have a hand in a few others, they just don't get the ratings of the serious craft breweries.
  20. Oh man, I had a terribly hard decision to weigh last night. As a young trooper, I had a fun fling with a sassy girl named Jaxo. Time went by (literally years) and I got into a relationship with one of my crew named Elara, who was a bit frosty but eventually warmed up to me. Then came a mission where of course they made me choose between saving Jaxo or saving about 300 soldiers. I couldn't abandon Jaxo, so now I'm in trouble with both command and the gf. This dang game!
  21. Lego Movie was my top pick for any genre, it was amazing. It totally got shafted by the award shows.
  22. That's pretty much the mission statement of my history classes. Despite that, students are constantly trying to get by with rote memorization. I suppose it is easier than thinking critically about events.
  23. My son absolutely loves Olaf. He's really the comedic relief, and the best song revolves around his character.
