I've never understood the big concern over p2w in an MMO setting. If your intention in an MMO is to win, you are playing it wrong.

Should see that. Though from comments on it I find it funny to read the filmmaker saying she doesn't want Seaworld shut down, heh. I had an interesting talk about this with my wife. I'm not against Zoos and Wild Animal Parks, in a lot of ways they play an important role in preservation of species. The big issue here is the Killer Whales, that's what the movie focuses on. You take a huge animal and put it in a small pool, it's a pretty obvious problem. I think I have a problem with the whole idea of putting animals in a show, but then again I'm not really going to complain about a dog show. It's definitely a complex question. The former trainers had a lot of interesting things to say about it.

I think Disney has been on a major role lately. Their relationship with Pixar has been tremendous, and they basically haven't missed on any of their new properties they've developed. Plus they don't forget to pay service to the classics in their library. I'm also pretty happy to see my daughter running around with a bow and arrow trying to be Merida.

The only Alien game I remember enjoying was the mod for Doom.

It is totally necessary to re-establish the canon, it's pretty much a mess right now. I'd say the Old Republic stuff will be safe, but all the stuff after Return of the Jedi is in danger.

I like a good hike, but those boards do not look very safe.

Blackfish - Well, I'm never going to Seaworld, that's for sure.

I need a poster of that up in my classroom.

So Team Canada has been an interesting debate. I know I'm biased about Joe Thornton, but I was surprised how many experts were keeping him off their rosters. He's leading the league in assists!

I have to admit, it's interesting how it works out. The author wrote Reacher as this huge guy purely to give that sense of implacable, unstopping nature and he was initially against Cruise because he isn't a big guy. But Cruise manages to convey all of that just with the personality he infused into the character, which is kind of impressive by itself. Yeah, there was really only one scene where it didn't work. At one point the detective asks a hotel clerk if she has any residents that kill someone in one punch, and she mentions a pseudonym that Reacher was using. Tom Cruise doesn't really look lke the type that could kill with one punch That being said, he exuded charm and intelligence, and by the end a real sense of dangerousness.

Reacher - Very entertaining, I think they nailed the character in the books. It's really a fairly dark movie. Tom Cruise was great.

Nope, but not sure what that is meant to prove. It's really just an inquiry.

Does anyone here have any personal experiences where they have been assaulted by police?

I go to Vegas to eat. edit: That came out wrong. I go to Vegas to have amazing dinners at their top rated restaurants.

I'm curious about why you all think they should be held to a higher standard? I agree that they need to be, but I am interested in your rationale.

How does the extra time/fuel you spend compares to paying the toll fee? Actually it is the most fuel efficient way to go for me, but that really depends on where you live. Plus it gives me a chance to see both sides of the bay.

I almost forgot to mention that we were parked next to a family from Germany during our RV trip a few days ago, and they had this huge Steyr motorhome that they had actually shipped to the US. It looked a bit like this: It was amazing. I didn't get to talk to the dad very long, but I wish I had asked him more questions,a s I can't find anything about it online. It must be a special order thing. They were in the middle of a year long expedition, pretty awesome. http://www.fuess-mobile.de/english%20offen/innenausbau_14.htm

Phew, Niners pulled it out in the end. That was stressful. They outplayed Green Bay for long stretches, but they need to find a way to get in the end zone a bit more for next week versus Carolina.

You also need to look at the long term versus short term here. Andrew Luck, coming out of college, was widely regarded as a great QB prospect with a skillset designed for the NFL. The Colts had a chance to get him and possibly set themselves up at QB for another decade, or stick with Manning. Even without the injuries, Peyton Manning is now in his late 30's. He will be 40 in 3 years. In 3 years Andrew Luck will be 27, typically near the prime age of an athlete. Both choices were risky, but it seems pretty clear that they worked out well for both the Colts and Peyton Manning, as they are both in the playoffs.

If I owned, I would jump on getting those yesterday. We get enough sun to cut our bill by a ton. Alas, my landlord isn't going to put money he doesn't have to into this house.

I'd blame the Chief's defense before anything else. Dwayne Bowe had a great game, as did Alex Smith. Those injuries were a killer too, you lose your running backs, you lose the ability to eat up clock easily. Also Andy Reid turned that program around, they were 2-14 last year. I don't have much of an interest in the Eagles/Saints game, but I'm curious to see if this college style playcalling can get the Eagles deep in the playoffs.

I have heard some pretty terrible things about the Colts ownership. However, everyone in the 49ers organization has had nothing but great things to say about Alex Smith. The fact is you can only start one QB, and they had to choose between Kaep or Smith. As is, both guys have benefited from the current situation, so I don't see why you are negative about it. They are winning football games. Kaep is only in his first year, especially as more of a pocket passer. In a few years we will have a better idea on whether it was the right or wrong choice to keep him. I'm not really sure, potentially I see that Kaep has an exciting skillset that can dominate a game, but I also think he hasn't been tested yet and injuries can change things quick. Alex Smith is an extremely smart and tough QB, and I'm rooting for him to get one more score here in the 4th. But even if he doesn't, he's done everything he could to give KC a chance to win.

Do you think the Colts made the right choice when it came to letting Manning go?

I hate PG&E.

Bridges are toll roads, most of them can be avoided by taking longer routes around. I cross over the Golden Gate north a couple times a year, and then use the Richmond Bridge to go back south. That avoids the tolls altogether, since they only charge you one way.
