  1. Thankfully they don't handle any of the financial aspects, so after changing my password I'm not too worried.
  2. It amazes me that we take teenagers, who have enough problems making good decisions, and then put them behind the wheels of cars. I think it takes at least a few years to become a decent driver. Just remember to drive defensively. Always expect everyone else on the road is about to do something stupid.
  3. Lionheart - I've tried to get into it a few times and it always sucks too much. The setting is awesome, it bums me out. Neverwinter Nights - The OC was painful for me. Thankfully the expansions and all the user stuff made it well worth the purchase. Honestly I rarely play games that are bad for long. How do you include the Fable collection, does that mean you played them all? That sounds insane, you probably should have gotten the hint from the first game. I would have had Dragon Age 2 on the list, but last year I sat down and made it past the first act, and it got better.
  4. On a whim, I put together a text adventure of Flappy Birds and ran through it with my students. I have too much time on my hands http://www.textadventures.co.uk/games/view/k9x8_znfeemxmg6mhy_crg/flappy-birds-text-adventure
  5. I honestly thought they were going to base jump it. It seems insane not to have a parachute with you.
  6. I'm playing a hockey game and my wife is working a basketball game, so meh. I tend to buy her flowers every couple months and avoid February and the price bumps. I did spend last night helping the kids finish their valentine's for school, so that is something.
  7. He's exactly like an application, he might as well be a part of the forum software. He's not an actual person, which is what is required to be a part of a community. There is no personality there, he has one function and he executes it tirelessly. Anyways I'm sure I'll get in trouble for talking about posters. I should note that I enjoy Malcador's personality every day. I'm not being facetious, I appreciate your skeptical look and your ability not to get caught up in things, it keeps many of us grounded here.
  8. We don't know anything about Oby other than the fact he is playing a nationalistic caricature, so if anything the question is too serious for someone who has shown no real inclination to be a member of this community.
  9. The biggest problem with American Football, and this might be true of Rugby, is you can't play it when you are 80 years old. Hockey is a sport you can play forever.
  10. How so? For example, there are loads of politicians in the US who I do not identify with. Do you back Mayor Ford in Toronto?
  11. Hockey does struggle to get exposure in the US, so insecure is probably a good label. That doesn't keep it from being the best sport in the world, mind you.
  12. Oby, do you consider Vitaly Milonov a good representative of Russia?
  13. I struggled to get into Deus Ex myself, I think I started Liberty Island 3 times before I finally got through it. But once I made it past that first part, the game turned awesome and I couldn't put it down.
  14. International hockey also tends to be pretty light on contact. You won't see much in the way of hard checking among the men either.
  15. Well, NDA is still up, so can't really say much. But gotta agree with the RPS article. Maybe it picks up after, at least Bester seems to like it. If I get another invite I might force myself past the early bit and maybe my opinion will change. Like every ES game ever, there is some good and some bad. That quote sounds ridiculous when taken out of the context of the overarching plot. I played through something similar on one of the early islands, and the setup for the confrontation with the big bad guy was pretty well done. That's the same article where the guy complains about John Cleese portraying a mad bard. He lost all credibility at that point with me.
  16. While not quite what you are talking about, I do use the sniper scanner regularly in battle.
  17. That's crazy. I use movies regularly in my history classes.
  18. Life's too short to waste it being ill all the time.
  19. Was he doing it during the beta? I did it a couple days beforehand and it downloaded in a couple hours with no problems.
  20. I'm curious if this is some anti-smoking aid bot trying to drive up sales? I am still aghast at the idea that most of the products designed to quit smoking are sold by the same companies that sell the cigarettes.
  21. My favorite 30/30 was the Bo Jackson. That guy basically exists on a different plane.
