Hockey is a team sport, and even though Russia had some phenomenal talent, they never looked like they clicked as a team. But how the heck was was top cop Bobrovski not on the case? He's a better goalie than Varlamov.

Guardians of the Galaxy looks fantastic. The guy from Parks and Rec has clearly been hitting the gym. Vin Diesel is the tree, by the way.

She's actually a pretty decent interview. Much geekier than you would expect.

Banished - Boy, LC is not kidding about the people eating. I was up to 24 adults and 8 kids, but then everyone started starving despite two fishing docks and two decent sized fields harvesting once a year. The tough part was I started running out of resources, but didn't have enough people to get iron, stone, wood, blacksmith, teach, herbalist, and tailor it up. I think I need to move a bit slower on my next try. The kids seem to grow up pretty fast, as in a few in game years. I think my biggest problem was not getting the blacksmith going soon enough, and once tools started breaking, the food was taking too long to get. Eh, I had a feeling I would need to start a few times to get the hang of it. I haven't even tried disasters yet.

I had a student reading Speaker of the Dead in my class the other day, and they were near the end. I told them not to read the third book in that story arc. Ender's Shadow is the proper follow up to Ender's Game.

I took the key off and played with the nipple looking thing underneath. It didnt seem to help. I dont know a lot about laptop keyboards.

I spilled a bit of beer on my laptop last night. I thought I had done a good job of cleaning and drying everything, but now the number one key won't work. Everything else looks good. I messed around with it a bit, and decided to order a new one online. So I'll be stuck on number 2 for a couple days. Plus my computer smells like beer. Thankfully it was a delicious white IPA, so it isn't too bad.

Last year after my wife nearly died of Pancreatitis, I started paying very close attention to all the labels on our food. It is actually fairly difficult to find stuff that isn't loaded with salt, fat, and sugar. They put these huge labels on the food that say REDUCED or LOW FAT but they are still obscene. Just look at sodas, does anyone believe that a diet soda is really healthier for you than a regular soda? They are both terrible.

I would agree with Amentep that the number of people online I have met that I would consider as having serious mental issues is extremely small. Most of you guys are just run of the mill jerks

Or its someone who thinks that maybe people shouldn't take themselves or the things they like so seriously - including their own posts/comments. There is a big difference between trolling and being a troll. We all have our trollish moments. An actual troll is probably spending more time online than they are in real life, and they are completely disassociating themselves from reality when they do so. That's not good. Muy Malo.

Eh, arguing with a troll is much like arguing with my 3 year old. There is no winning in that scenario. edit: I'm all for reaching out and creating a personal relationship with a person who comes across as a troll. Sometimes it works, sometimes it is just ignored, and sometimes they act with suspicion.

Don't stress it, you are better off as the British guy.

Thankfully they don't handle any of the financial aspects, so after changing my password I'm not too worried.

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.

TJ Oshie is now a legend.

The best mod I've found is Spectrum Street.

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.

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

I honestly thought they were going to base jump it. It seems insane not to have a parachute with you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
