    So about 500 deaths caused by police a year in a nation of 316 million people. Basically I have about the same odds of winning the lottery as I do of getting killed by the police. I think I can increase my odds by buying more lottery tickets OR buying more crystal meth.

    We also have a ton of new tools to keep track of our own security. Sure, my credit cards are vulnerable, but I can also check my balances every second of every day if I want, and raise a red flag if I see a problem. I can track my credit scores more clearly, I can dispute things more easily, etc. Consumers have a lot of tools to protect themselves, and they can do so from a device they carry around in their pocket. Your personal risks are very well mitigated.

    Yeah, I'm concerned, but it's not like Sony was doing a ton to develop their MMO's. They had downsized quite a bit over the years. Still, it had a nice stable of games and they were all receiving decent support, so hopefully that will continue. It will be interesting to see what this means for Everquest Next.

    Every parent I know has their kids using a tablet, so I'm guessing a decline may be overstated. You basically have an entire generation growing up with tablets as their primary entertainment device. Personally I use my kindle every day for reading, it has replaced books. I still prefer my laptop for everything else, but I think moving forward, that will be more niche than using a tablet.

    I'm not all excited about this one either. Honestly the little demo video looked pretty rough. I pledged Shroud of Avatar, and I've been unimpressed by that, and this looks fairly similar, just underground and in first person.

    If it makes you feel any better, the colonoscopy is much easier than the one where they put the camera down your throat.

    Is it our already?? I want to play it so hard. Damn. Early Access is out. I want the game but will wait for the PS Vita version. As Labadal said, it' still early access. But the game is pretty polished, at least in the early going. The narrator is soooooo good. I have started over about 5 times.

    If you get them all for $12, that's not much of a gamble. They are all pretty good. Battlefront II might be a bit tough to play, since it's an MP game and I doubt there are a lot of active servers to play on. The rest should be fun to tinker with.

    Darkest Dungeon - Fantastic atmosphere! I'm struggling terribly, which I believe is the point of the game.

    Yeah, Pete Carroll explained it pretty well as to why they went with the pass. Still, conspiracy theories are fun.

    One time I stopped in at a place in Portland. I was just moving through, and I asked if I could take some beer with me. They filled a few mason jars and sent me on my way. It was fantastic.

    The problem is she is going from Jason Momoa to this new guy, so any casting will be a letdown, unless they get Brad Pitt.

    http://www.thenation.com/blog/196697/conspiracy-theory-surrounding-seahawks-last-play# Apparently I'm not the only one who thought that might be it. It does sound pretty crazy, but I had the same question when the 49ers were a few yards away from scoring two years ago and tried to hit Crabtree in the same spot 4 times, despite the fact they had run it very well. It's like they were trying to choose who to make the hero instead of going for the best plays.

    My wife works in a school with gang violence. She has had students physically confront her, one girl actually shoved her when she was pregnant. So I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of having an officer or two on her campus.

    Weird. Not quite sure what that means for their rather sizeable stable of MMO's.

    I'm curious if the thought that Marshawn Lynch will not be a Seahawk next year came into play at all.

    I've been reading Carey Elwes autobiography on The Princess Bride. It is a great read. Before that I read the biography of Jay Sarno, the man who built Caesar's Palace and circus Circus. That was a great precursor for my trip to Vegas.

    Picked up Dead State, I didn't realize what a gem I was missing. It's great fun.

    You folks are cray cray, Starships looks phenomenal. I'll grab it the moment is comes out.

    The Interview - Not quite as bad as I was expecting, but definitely not worth all the attention it got. There were some funny moments, and a few surprisingly well shot scenes. The helicopter blowing up was very well done. I'm glad I didn't pay for it, but it was worth a watch.

    This sounds a lot like a suicide by cop scenario.

    I was planning on picking up Darkest Dungeon in a couple days. Is it worth it?
  23. Hurlshort
    isn't PoE on Steam already? I thought a lot of higher tier backers had multiple keys I don't think they've released extra keys yet, it's just the beta ones.

    I popped in here to see if you folks were talking about joystiq shutting down. I am disappoint.

    True faith goes hand in hand with doubt. Any decent Catholic priest will tell you that.
