Hurlshort

Thanks kgambit, I'm renting a beautiful house, so it's not too bad. Gorgon, location is a huge part of the value. I work in Cupertino, which has some of the best schools in California, as well as being the home of Apple. People pay a million dollars to live in modest homes here, and the property values never dropped like they did everywhere else. Houses don't stay on the market longer than a week. It's a bit crazy.

In terms of the housing market, I was completely screwed by the bubble bursting. I ended up short selling my condo that had lost 75% of it's value and I'm nowhere near being able to buy again, despite having a healthy income. But I see this as a result of the housing market being completely out of control before the collapse. Right now it is stable. It is slowly recovering. It will hopefully never get back to the high points it was at, because that was an illusion. I imagine it will take a full generation for the housing market to really recover across the country. People have messed up credit, they have lost confidence in property values, etc.

I don't know, I'm not much of an economist. All I know is you guys keep posting lines that look like this: / It would be bad if the lines were like this: \ And it would be stagnant if they looked like this: - Maybe it is because where I live, housing prices are on the rise, inventory is moving at a fast rate, and all of the dotcoms that survived the bubble bursting are now stable. Also I'm stuck in a ton of traffic every day and the malls are a pain to go to.

The US Economy has been recovering quite well. That is happening in spite of a ridiculous government.

His mailbox is probably full. They are very small.

You've convinced me to sell, GD

Yeah I don't get it. It isn't a kickstarter, they've already got a playable alpha, and it is a relatively inexpensive game. People are so weird.

I must have missed the thread in C&C that was covered in pixelated blood and gore. I'd say the mods have been more than tolerant of this thread on a company affiliated forum.

The Republican party needs to put some gigantic distance between itself and the Tea Party movement. They can't win big elections with those people at the helm. It'd be like the Democrats putting PETA and Greenpeace in charge of their campaigns.

Well that looks fantastic. It reminds me of all the giant space stations I would build with legos as an adult, err, kid.

Or pirate. Huh?

The A's beat Verlander 1-0 as well, that guy is not getting any run support.

That's clearly the Bester rate, it shows up as $59.99 for me. You are looking at a gold edition with a bunch of DLC. I've never been a fan of that stuff unless it is a physical object myself, but people must pay for it.

I agree for the most part. AC2 was strong because of the story of Ezio, the apple stuff was mostly a distraction from the personal family quest. Although by the end of AC2 I was growing more interested in the story of Desmond.

I actually would like to play the AC set in Constantinople, I never got around to that one. It's still $20 on Steam though, so I'll have to wait for a decent sale.

She probably has pasties on.

Everyone should go here and vote for Amnesia. http://teamcoco.com/content/poll-what-scary-video-game-should-conan-play

I just finished Spec Ops The Line.

How would an AC set during ancient Rome make you feel? I'd like it, but I'd rather see them take on Imperial China, maybe some sort of Yuan Dynasty storyline where you assassinate corrupt Mongols.

Oh, it gets even better. EU PS+ subscribers get Remember Me next month basically for free. Then again, same for Revengeance and I think that actually was a success There's a game called "Revengeance"? Seriously? :D Yes. It displaced Divine Divinity as top dog for game with the most utterly ridiculous title honors. It's reign will be short lived, though, as the arrival of The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa is imminent. The Barkley games don't count, they are done with a sense of irony.

I give them high marks for recreating the architecture and style of certain periods of time. Climbing Brunelleschi's Dome appeased my history geekiness.

I loved AC2, but It was a long game and I had no interest in revisiting the game in the expansions. I'll pick up AC3 eventually on a good sale, I regret not getting it when it was 75% off a week ago.

I'm pretty sure that isn't Tomb Raider :D What is it?

Almost Human looks very promising. Lets hope Fox doesn't cancel it halfway through the first season.

Because you made a blanket statement against an entire religion. I could claim that all it takes to send male gamers into a froth is a young woman claiming that women are poorly represented in games. Just see the ****storm that gets pulled up there. A teenage girl with an opinion can freak out a lot of people regardless of whether or not they are a follower of Islam. Then how do you think, in general, women are viewed in Islamic countries? It really depends on the country. Again it is a blanket statement. Plus the fact that Islam exists in every country, not just those with an Islamic government.
