The NFL 2013 Thread
I'm not too concerned about the call, but I think the fine is ridiculous. Why bother allowing players to tackle QB's at all?

Thanksgiving Plans
I attended a High School football game that has been held for 71 years. It is usually a pretty lopsided game because one team is in a higher division, but this year my wife's school played hard and kept it competitive, losing by 20 but putting 29 points up on the board. Now the kids are resting and I'm making some brussel sprouts. I cook them in olive oil and salt and pepper. My wife is making sweet potatoes and deviled eggs, and we will be heading to her mom's house for turkey in a little bit. Tonight I'm going to get an Ipad mini from Walmart. It's $299, but you get a $100 gift card with it, so that's a pretty nice deal. Luckily our local Walmart is pretty tame, we don't get the long lines or anything.

Origin Sales
I have always said Origin is the better portal compared to Steam.

The Funny Things Thread.
I like how half of them wrote Borat across Eastern Europe. Honestly they did pretty good, it was clearly an educated group. Maps were a lot easier when we could just write USSR across the East. How do you figure? Each state in the US is very different, with separate constitutions. Size wise they also are more comparative to countries than districts. I would expect most Europeans could label California, Alaska, Texas, and maybe a few of the Eastern seaboard states.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
I only bought it because I thought it was a sequel to the popular card game Balderdash.

Kerry's Israeli/Palestinian peace talks
I imagine they are paying Bush well, so it might be more about that than him being an actual loon.

We're the Millers - One of the better comedies I've seen in a long time. It was hilarious, although I am a bit partial to RV hi-jinks.

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
I'm terrified that Almost Human is going to get cancelled. It's the best show I've seen in a long time.

What you having for dinner tonight?
I've got some potatoes in the oven, and I think I'll mash them when they get out. I also have a decent box of mushroom risotto, which is an odd mix but I'm in the mood for both.

Best Police in the World
Jaywalking is just a citation, I'm not sure what that has to do with arrests or prison population. He was probably going to court to contest it, rather than pay the fine.

This review is everything that is wrong about the gaming industry today
I like to think of myself as a hardcore reader. I wasn't talking about Penthouse Letters KP.

It's interesting that no one ever claims to be a hardcore reader. People tend to identify themselves as experts in a certain genre. That really is a better tack to take when it comes to games. Music and movies are a bit more digestible, so it makes more sense to say you are hardcore about those media types.

What you having for dinner tonight?
German restaurants are rare in my parts, and so the ones that succeed tend to be exceptional. That being said, the best part of the German food tends to be how it works with the beer.

What you having for dinner tonight?
I always find the Mexican food to be one of the best parts of visiting California (which I do somewhat regularly to see my wife's family). A couple times a month I go to a hole in the wall mexican restaurant for breakfast that serves the best posole with handmade flour tortillas and fresh squeezed OJ. The make perfect breakfast burritos as well, no extra junk, just potatoes, eggs, and chorizo. It's pretty much the only type of food I can't easily replicate in my own kitchen.

Somehow I ended up watching all of the death race movies one weekend. It was really only enjoyable because the actors seemed like they were having a ton of fun.
