I've never really understood resolutions. If I want to make a change, I usually just start then, regardless of the calendar. That being said, I hope to keep running regularly in the year to come, and pay down some more debt.

Some people just don't like to be happy. This is a terribly niche game, with or without the M&M name. It will not sell millions, so it's shocking that Ubisoft is publishing it at all. Also, what exactly is the value of the M&M name? It is used for all sorts of crazy things, including a match 3 puzzle game. The fact that we are returning to the game play of World of Xeen is exciting.

I've played the game and it rocks, so what ev. Knocking the old school movement for being old school kind of misses the point of the game. Also I think you'd be surprised by the budget, while it surpasses Legend of Grimrock, it is a small budget game.

I ordered a woman's shooting vest for my wife on some hunting website, since the one I picked up on Amazon didn't fit right. Now I'm probably on some government watchlist

Divine Divinity - I'm really enjoying this, it's amazing that it took so long for me to give it a try.

We must stop the Kung Fuhrer!

Merry Christmas folks!

Do I have a few months to help my students develop psionic powers? I'm pretty sure they can win that way. Anyways I don't agree with censorship, I was just illustrating what the logic might be. I would say it is the responsibility of the parents and the community to keep young folk away from the hardcore stuff. For example, if you want a pen, do not visit Pen Island.com.

It should totally be in the fourth person perspective, that's where the future lies. You don't even have to be at a computer to play the game that way.

Why are you calling young children idiots? Seems a little extreme, even for you.

Played a few rounds of BF4, and I am terrible. Managed to get a k/d ratio of 0.22, so yeah. I did get better by the last round at least. This game is insane though. I was riding on a gunboat, and the weather picked up. We were crashing into huge waves, and I was using a chaingun to tear down the foliage on the small islands nearby. It was intense. I've really never seen anything as amazing as this game, and it's crazy to think I'm playing it with 60+ other people. Technology has come a long way.

It can potentially be an 11-5 team that doesn't make it, The Cards can win and still miss the playoffs. All that has to happen is the Saints beat Tampa, and that's pretty likely.

I would assume it's more to protect people from stumbling onto porn through Google. For example, if I do a search for Bust of David when looking for Renaissance sculptures, and end up with a different kind of bust. That being said, I am not a fan of censorship and would rather parents be the responsible party here.

I decided to pick up Battlefield 4 on Origin for half off. So I'm watching the massive 25 gig game download.

I just figured out that Bester is Harlequin. There really are a lot of MMO's that use different formulas, it's just not that easy to pull it off. The Secret World is another example of a game that departs from the formula.

Played around with Spacebase, lost a lot of people to asphyxiation. Lost one guy to a large space worm too.

Yep, it's easy to forget what a great bench they had last year.

I'm trying not to worry too much about the Warriors. They definitely were missing Igualda (sp?) for a few weeks though. Right now they are handling the Lakers, so that is good news. It's a tough conference. They haven't had much trouble with the sub-500 teams, so I think it will balance out by the end of the season.

Today I used a Walmart gift card and bought a new mattress for the RV. It's memory foam, and I'm very excited to have it for our upcoming trips.

So my Christmas plans have been way simpler since one side of my family cut off contact. It was a bit weird last year, but this year I'm actually enjoying the fact I don't have to travel. We also take the money we don't spend on gifts for that side and buy presents for families in need, and that is enjoyable. I did most of my shopping on Amazon this year. We will be having dinner with my wife's family on Christmas Eve, and then hosting them for a Christmas day brunch.

Anyone else intrigued by Verdun? WWI FPS with some interesting multiplayer ideas?

I'm pretty sure the numbers were just the US. The highest numbers were among those who have been medically retired, so that is clearly a major factor. Apparently the whole mental health services has been completely lacking, and it is really only starting to be implemented in many departments in the last few years.

I've been attending a Citizen's Police Academy class for a few weeks, it is a way for our local police department to get input from the community and allows them to run a volunteer program. I was shocked to learn that police officers are 3 times more likely to commit suicide than die in the line of duty. That's horrific. So go hug a cop or something, jesus.

Bo Jackson is on his way to your place to prove a point. Bo knows, Volo. Bo knows.

If you didn't like the first Hobbit, I doubt this will change your mind.
