    That is the only one I was given permission to release. ;-)

    Which one?

    When a group has been subjugated and persecuted for long stretches of history, you shouldn't expect them to calmly claim their rights of equality and fall in line. They are going to make a big deal of it, as they should.

    I woke up today and felt like composing a sonnet to my wife: My wife, my tireless partner in life With her delicate touch in times of grief And a stern voice when my hubris is rife At the days end, she is my great relief She matches me step for step, wit for wit If chance pitted us on opposite sides We’d fight to a draw, matching hit for hit Combined in our might, we reach undreamed heights She brightens the day by her mere presence Her smile can stop my heart as it beats When she laughs, the world suddenly makes sense With her by my side I rise to great feats She has awakened my slumbering soul She makes me complete, she makes me whole

    Played a good deal more of ESO this evening. Without going into details, I can say it really is an Elder Scrolls game. For better or worse, the gameplay, the quests, and the graphics are all a culmination of everything it is that Bethesda does. I'm always smitten by the ES games for the first chunk of hours, and then they tend to wear on me. It will be interesting to see if the social aspect will extend that life for me.

    Huh...I kind of wonder why that reviewer plays games? John Cleese as an insane bard was a highlight for me. It's definitely an Elder Scrolls game. One watches Jersey Shore from MTV, other The Wire from HBO. Both to have a good time I would assume. Yes, John Cleese clearly brings in the Jersey Shore audience.

    Tomorrow I'm going on a beerwalk where we get to try 20+ beers from local breweries. It starts with a tour of the Gordon Biersch plant nearby, where I hope we get to sample something unfiltered straight from the tanks. Last year I had a blonde bock that way, and it was the best beer ever.

    Why should the bay area vote for Mega Rad Karate Troopers? Hella points. What?

    I haven't played it enough to make a judgement, but I'm not cancelling my preorder yet. I enjoyed the intro. It's weird playing an MMO from the first person perspective, but I am getting used to it.

    Elder Scrolls Online - It's really <redacted >

    I liked that one, but it was mostly because Josh Hartnett was very fun to watch.

    Are you entirely certain of that?

    It is pretty typical for the police to put more resources into catching dealers who peddle bad batches of drugs. It's murder.

    It's also not too easy to exercise on a fast food diet. You might get away with it a little when you are young and your metabolism is fast, but it catches up to everyone eventually.

    Thanks for the post milczyciel. Oby is just a troll, so I hope you don't let his racist drivel keep you from enjoying the rest of the forums. He's not even from Russia.

    I gotta say the comparison to obesity and diabetes to smoking is miles apart. Smoking directly affects the health of people around you. It is entirely different. I haven't had a sinus infection in years thanks to all the non-smoking legislation. I'm going to take the libertarian stance and say that government interference in our diets is a bad idea. I'd rather see people use the media and educational resources to enact changes within the industry. For example, M&M's was using artificial coloring in the US and natural coloring in the UK. The artificial coloring has been linked to some health problems, albeit loosely. So some parent petitioned on change.org to ask them to switch to natural. It worked, M&M's are transitioning to natural colors. Problem solved without the need for Big Brother. Movies like Supersize Me have put pressure on Fast Food restaurants to offer a few healthy choices on the menu. That means I can take my kids to McDonalds for a happy meal and get some apples with their horrible mystery meat nuggets.

    Oddly enough, I own the last few HoMM but just never got into them. I usually end up playing King's Bounty whenever I want that fix. Storywise, I'm enjoying it in Might and Magic. Nothing groundbreaking, but it has kept my interest. I explored Karthak today, but I still haven't seen The Crag. Almost up to level 20.

    If the government really did get all up in our business when it comes to health care, I'd be interested to see the someone sue post-mortem because their life was not fun enough

    Flappy Bird - Infuriating. My high score was 7.

    It seemed like a big mistake to have such a big price gap.

    I'm surprised by the willingness to label it child neglect or abuse. That's a very serious charge, and at what threshold do you hold the parents responsible?
