The NHL thread 2014/2015
The Sharks aren't exactly a shining example of good hockey right now. Vancouver is actually in the same boat. You were about 5 years late to that hockey game, really.

MLB 2015
I'm not going to count the A's out, their pitching staff still looks really good. Other than that, I don't pay much attention to the American League.

MLB 2015
Hah, I was playing MLB The Show last night, and I got drafted by the Dodgers in the 1st round. I decided to go back to college instead of sign.

Police Abuse of Uber Driver in New York City
Comcast requires you to be belligerent to customers, if I remember correctly. Actually I think they just shift all the people that get complaints to the exit center, where they handle cancellations. Those people are usually jerks. The reason I'm all about those cameras that officers wear on their chests is because it should reduce both these types of scenarios as well as the bogus complaints. Which, considering how often police are dealing with junkies and wackos, is probably a considerable number.

Giants are as questionable as they were last season, so everything is going according to plan.

Indiana's Freedom of Religion Law..controversial ?
Where did I say it was complicated ? That was the point of my post, if you read it. This is a solution to a problem I am not convinced exists. I'm sorry if my post came across as argumentative. I was agreeing with you, and sharing what I know about how the Catholic Church functions.

Indiana's Freedom of Religion Law..controversial ?
The Catholic Church (and really, any organized religious group) is allowed set all sorts of criteria on membership and services offered. Women aren't allowed to be priests, after all. When my wife and I renewed our vows in a Catholic Church, we had to attend classes and I had to prove I was baptized as a child at a recognized denominational church. But a commercial business does not get to discriminate based on race, religion, gender, etc. It's not complicated.

Indiana's Freedom of Religion Law..controversial ?
I just couldn't imagine living in Indiana and watching the governor drive tons of major companies away. This is economic suicide. I don't see how the people of the state aren't freaking out right now. We recalled Gray Davis in California over less than this.

Collector's Editon Map (horrible)
Hah, don't trust a software developer to deliver on physical goods. I'm just happy both the t-shirt and the mousepad are well made.

What are you playing now?
I'm starting to explore the crafting in PoE and I like it. Not overly complicated, but you can create some pretty sweet gear. I like the fact you can take an interesting weapon that is unique and buff it to still be good for the later levels.

What you did today
I was super excited to find my PoE collector's edition on the doorstep today. The mouse and T-Shirt are good quality, I'm leaving the box sealed up and up high.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Or it will just stay the same, which is what it has done since about the 60's.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
I had to look that one up. I'm pretty sure the Vagina Monologues will survive a small women's college cancelling the performance. This is absurd, for sure, but it is hardly indicative of college campuses across the country.

Thinking of buying, worried about Wizards though
Wizards are awesome. I love how I get a grimoire every time I kill another wizard, and I can then copy any of the spells down for my own. But yeah, my wizard is pretty decent with a rapier in a pinch.

Are guns the ultimate weapons for each class?
I have all my characters with ranged weapons, they unload a volley, and then the tanks switch to melee and jump forward. It seems like a good strategy, I usually get one kill right off the bat that way. Wands/scepters seem pretty weak, but my wizard and priest that have them usually are busy casting spells if the fight is intense.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
That really just seems like stooping to the same level. Also isn't the Gamergate movement trying to clean up gaming journalism? Doesn't that mean you will be ruining people's livelihood?

Memorials problem.
Who the heck is even reading these memorials? I stopped after the first few. Now I just look for people I recognize. So far Deraldin is the only one I caught.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
That's pretty much my argument. The guy kills himself, he's hardly the hero. It's a bit of dark comedy that really is more of a commentary on the misguided notion that your conquests in the bedroom define you.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry.
Quite a few of the gravestones are just bad, so I don't really think it is a big deal if Obsidian decides to change them, however the little story is hardly an example of trans misogyny (that word is ridiculous, and it hurt me to type it.) It's more of a sad tale of a philanderer whose lack of self confidence led him on misguided conquests, and ended in a tragic suicide. But really, it's best not to read too much into the silly gravemarkers.

What you did today
My wife went wine tasting today, so now my goal is to keep her in the cups long enough for a bit of hanky panky, but not to the point she just passes out. Also I need to get the kids to bed without tipping my hand. It's a tough task, but I will prevail.

Ted Cruz: The Comedy Gold that Keeps on Giving
We could try and stage a true grassroots movement where we all push for a 3rd party candidate, but that would require: 1. Everyone agreeing one one person to back 2. Convincing enough people to abandon the party lines. edit: In essence, we need someone who has widespread popularity and is able to bridge differences.
