Are you cryptically announcing you have a date, ManifestedISO? Congrats! I'm guessing an Asia, as Antarctica wouldn't be quite as alluring.

Join or start a club? That's really the main reason churches are still so relevant, they give a sense of community. But even if you aren't the religious type, there are a few good options for the holidays. When my family and I had a falling out a few years back, I decided to spend the Christmas Eve I typically reserved for them helping out at a church food drive. It has been wonderful.

Dragon Age: Inquisition has been a very pleasant surprise. Other than that, I agree with most mentioned. I haven't tried Lords of Xulima, that might be worth picking up.

That was some refreshing candor and humility, Luridis. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The only way she is 47 is if she has been living in a zero gravity environment.

If it makes you folks feel better, my children have kept me from playing my games by hogging the main TV. Also, they've been able to play Super Smash Bros. and Skylanders Trap Team with no problem. It's hard to find a better example of the childishness of hackers than trying to ruin Christmas morning for a bunch of people. It's literally a Dr. Seuss book. You're a mean one, Mr. Lizard.

Yeah, I've been interval training on the bike for 20 years, I think I've just hit the absolute boredom point. I used to love the whole uphill hard push for two minutes, two minutes off, two minutes on, etc. It is great training for hockey, which is basically about a 90 second sprint every shift. I should probably try some different machines, but really I'm just trying to give myself a few days before I get back out on the track.

Merry Christmas loser. My ratings would be: Dragonfall - It's awesome and relatively short, giving you time to play the next game. Wasteland 2 - Stick with it through the bugs and glitches, it's a great character building experience. M&M X - This is almost tied with Wasteland. If you loved the old M&M games, it captures the feel perfectly. Blackguards - Pretty cool little combat system, I had fun with it. Dead State - Only one I didn't play, so I have no idea. Bleh to zombies though.

I think you are oversimplifying a rather complex issue. If you have a cop that is being beaten by a suspect, and the cop's partner pulls the suspect off and then commits police brutality on the suspect, do you expect the cop who was just beaten to rat his partner out? You also have a tremendous amount of doubt in these situations, at least until a full investigation is complete and often even then, doubt lingers. You are automatically going to doubt the officer, because authority or whatever, but do you really expect other police to not give the benefit of the doubt to the officer? I don't think it would be healthy to have cops walking around looking at all their colleagues as criminals, like some of you do here.

I injured my knee a week ago, so I haven't been running, and I tried to go use the stationary bike at the gym. It was really a bore. I used to do that regularly, I'm not sure what changed. I guess I'm just addicted to running now, I feel terrible not being able to do it.

I have no idea why they thought a 100+ hour game really needed MP. I haven't gone near it.

Man, Xenonauts is scary addicting. I really have trouble pulling myself away from it when I start. Luckily my kids seem fascinated by it and will sit and cheer me on while I hunt down aliens and send fighter jets after ufo's. I think they prefer the graphics, they leave more for the imagination.

Volourn makes a very confusing statement about how it is evil to defend evil cops, so any cop that doesn't rat out their fellow officers for being evil is evil as well, and basically negates the possibility of good cops. Or something like that.

I haven't defended this particular mosque in any way, I know little about it and don't live anywhere near Brooklyn. Would you condemn all churches because one has members of the KKK? You seem pretty quick to do that with Islam. Show me one place where I condemned all mosques or all Islam. In fact I've done the opposite several times. Go back and read the posts you made about me in the other thread, may be you'll figure it out. Nah.

I voted for Hong Kong, it's an awesome setting for Shadowrun. I have the old campaign book somewhere.

I re-booked my room for my Vegas trip for the 5th time after finding even lower rates. I decided to upgrade to the Octavius Tower since the prices were so good ($119 a night) and I'm pretty excited about that. I also booked a couples massage for a king's ransom.

My wife's family is making tamales tomorrow as well.

Last Vegas - Very funny, a nice prep for my trip to Vegas.

It's weird that some of you are all up in arms about police violence but then you want them to all be muscleheads.

Thanks Ladainian Tomlinson My wife and I cleaned the house today, it was a big job. Still, it's nice to have a fresh smell in every room again.

I am getting GTAV for my ps4 for christmas, I am excited about that.

I've been walking around this morning telling the kids it's cleaning day. They seem less than thrilled.

You seem pretty quick to do that with Islam. Yeah I agree with Hurlshot on this one, we shouldn't generalize and say certain mosques in the USA are breeding grounds for Islamic extremism even if we know that extremists have frequented some of them. Its doesn't seem reasonable ? That's not really what I said at all. Certain mosques may be a breeding ground for extremism, just like certain Christian churches may be a breeding ground for intolerance and discrimination. That doesn't mean we should paint every church and mosque with the same brush. If there is evidence that a church or a mosque is encouraging violent behavior, then it should be investigated. But without an investigation, I'm not going to infringe on the right to religious freedom.

Get both Shadowrun campaigns and play Dead Man's Switch first. They both have their charms, but I think you'll enjoy Dragonfall more after playing through the first one.
