The Toys R Us commercials are all on the kids channels, so that's probably why you don't see them. I see them regularly.

The guy might have visited a mosque in Brooklyn once? *gasp*

It's hard to take metacritic too seriously when there are only a few thousand reviews for a game that sells millions. It's a small sample size and really only represents people that are in that community.

I've started Yoga with my wife 4 times a week, and it's incredibly hard. I don't know how she does some of these things, I shake like crazy in certain stances. But I have noticed I'm getting to certain muscle groups I haven't worked hard before.

You are going by the literal, 50%+1 definition of "mostly", right? I haven't played DAI, but from what I've read, it doesn't really deliver on promises made, it's buggy as hell (a hallmark of Bioware products) and the PC controls aren't very good. This doesn't necessarily make it a bad game, but nothing that "restores faith", whatever that means. I'll get around to playing it if I see a good bargain or in a few years, and I'll probably like it enough to finish it, much like every other Bio game, except JE. However, I reserve my worship and faith for stuff that is actually important in my life, such as peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. My guess is half of those negative reviewers are people who haven't even played the game, they just automatically default to hating all things Bioware. At least that would fit the trend we are seeing on these forums. I can play that game as well: My guess is half of those positive reviewers are people who are paid by EA, they just do what their exec told them too That's probably true. We should just wipe out all the 10's and 1's, that will be a more realistic rating.

That shouldn't surprise you, I report you regularly. Most of your posts are drivel and a few have been terribly inappropriate for a corporate-run forum. Thanks for sharing.

Geez Oner, that's terrible.

Enjoy the blood splattered golf cart (DA2)

Those hands and feet will give me nightmares.

Picked up Xenonauts at half off, and Prison Architect at 80 percent off, so I'm happy. I've been looking at those two for awhile now.

According to you, they already moved in next door and built a nice shiny mosque. Yes they did. You can bury you head in the sand all you want. Xenophobia at its finest.

Seriously. I think this game has more content than any previous Bioware game.

Yeah, thanks Obama!

I'll believe it when the Visigoths come knocking on my door.

I didn't even pay attention to the gender of a bit part character until it was brought up.

I tend to find the amenities like a lap pool, child care, and a sauna more important in terms of a gym membership. Those are a bit pricier to build at home.

Val, thank you for the response. I'm actually right there with you on the opinion about the big pharmaceutical companies.

We get easier access to baseball prospects too.

Ok, so how would you two go about fixing the medical industry?

Who said anything about government regulation? How quickly you jump to that conclusion. The car industry works much more efficiently with limited regulation. You have insurance, you have clear language about how much it will cost you to do standard maintenance, you know what your coverage is in case of emergencies. There isn't massive price variance between different shops. So yeah, it's possible to do this without government interference. I don't really care how they fix the problem at this point, I just want to see a vast improvement in how our health care industry operates. Also I'm not sure what your familial standing is Val, but basic checkups and care for a family of four is pricey. So people with serious medical conditions are just brainwashed? That seems pretty unreasonable.

The US has the worst health care billing system in the 1st world though, can't argue with that. I have good insurance that takes a decent chunk of my salary, and I'm still swimming in nonsensical medical bills. If we could just get some regulation over pricing, maybe it'd be a bit more sane.

We have a store in the Bay Area as well. Thankfully that's more of a mother/daughter event, plus the grandma is tagging along as well. Me and the boy can stay home and play video games.

I'm pretty excited about the gift I bought my wife this year, it's a nice watch that she was admiring months ago. It was way out of the price range, but I found it online for a decent discount so I went for it. I'm also loving the fact that my son is finally at the age where he wants video games. I got him the new Skylanders and Super Smash Brothers. My daughter has been spending the last few months making us watch youtube videos about American Girl dolls, so we are pretty sure that's what she wants. ;-)
