I do grin a bit to know that Carlos Beltran came up short again for a WS title. I know he's a nice guy, but he's pretty much got the worst luck out there when it comes to winning a ring.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Hurlshort replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
I never actually played through that part, but frankly the whole Revanite storyline in TOR is one of my favorite parts. -
My condolences on your dog. Did you have to specially order goalie pads for him?
-
I still don't get it. Whats the funny in there? Edit: Nevermind, just got it. Hes looking at a porno mag and the haircut matches the "haircut". You just ruined the joke Gfted
-
It took me way too long to get the hair joke, that's hilarious. I hate Axe with a passion, but that BF4 commercial is great. It's actually the most tame Axe commercial I've seen. I like that the girl is dressed in full combat gear and not something skimpy.

Any time people are throwing around wishes for bankruptcy and using cancer as a metaphor, you can probably bet they are overreacting. When the subject is video games, it's even more ludicrous.
-
Because they are the cancer that is killing RPG genre. Hooray for the melodrama

I found a kickstarter game on my kindle called Star Command, decided to give it a whirl for $3. It's a pretty fun game, has some very neat features and is like a close up version of FTL. But the combat is super slow and I hate the minigame aspects.

Copernicus wasn't being facetious when he dedicated his book to the Pope

Age probably has a lot to do with it. It would be pretty hard to explain to the doctor that I've lost my edge. It's not like I'm struggling physically on the ice, I'm still playing well. I just haven't found the back of the net. Same with work, I'm getting everything done. Maybe I should stop taking estrogen pills.
-
I think it's a smart idea to work out - sounds like it could be a natural drop in testosterone? That pretty much feels like loosing one's "edge". Ok, so this might be crazy, but I did have a vasectomy last year. Coincidence?

The rollercoaster thing doesn't work for me, I hit my late 20's and now they just make me sick. I've been struggling with doubts about my abilities lately. There has been a rather sudden drop off in my ability to score goals in hockey. Sometimes I feel out of place in front of the classroom this year, more than ever before. I also have had some odd thoughts about my wife's fidelity, despite the fact she doesn't even have the time to step out on me. It's been weird, I just feel off my game. I started trying to work out more regularly to deal with it.

I'll throw in my vote for Far Cry 3, it's a pretty fantastic game. My kids really enjoyed watching me speed around on a jetski trying to kill a shark, only to get eaten by a second one when I dove down to skin it.
-
It's actually best that I pledge and forget, that way it's like a surprise when the game finally comes out.
-
So you are going to pirate Farcry 3 because you are too impatient to wait for the Steam sale? Don't worry, I'm sure all of our resident DRM activists will come to your defense.

The BF4 beta has actually run better than BF3 on my PC.

I've never played God of War, but it has always struck me as much more action orientated than the AC series. You can spend a lot of time just exploring and walking through the cities in AC.
-
I'm enjoying AC: Revenant quite a bit. The setting of Constantinople in transition to Istanbul is fascinating. I love the use of the Janissaries and Suleiman, and the idea of recruiting assassins is neat. I'm not a big fan of the missions to send them away from the city though, but everything else has been fun. I'm excited to see how the story of Ezio wraps up, he's pretty awesome as an old man.
-
That does sound like a nice setting for an AC game. I'll probably get it.

That day will be when cars also become fully automated. I'm sensibly direct with most issues, but when the self-driving Neo Prius horde takes over, I will literally Hulk into a loud-mouthed internal combustion alarmist. TAKE BACK THE WHEEL Oh man, I can't wait until driving is automated. I'm in my car about 2 hours a day, most of it highway. I could do so much with that time.
-
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point here, but the law isn't literally applicable, it's interpretive.

The Patriot Act is what has damaged this country. I blame him for not appealing it, but it existed before he got in office. The guy couldn't even get an assault weapons ban to go through after Sandy Hook, he's no mastermind of political power. The only other thing he even has going on is the health care system, and that is totally overblown as an issue. I also am not going after Bush about the Patriot Act. It was a response to a terrible incident. It just shouldn't be a permanent measure.
-
This is just as scary http://youtu.be/2ucv1-PJVT4 Actually I think Obama is better as a symbol than he is as a president. It's still a huge deal that we have a minority in the White House, it's a tremendous step forward compared to where we were 50 years ago. Presidents come and go, and their legacy is usually only clear after a couple decades, but in 200 years it will still be a huge deal that we finally had a black president.

Unfortunately I'd say bootlickers and yes men are the norm for politicians today.

I'm actually reading The Rise and fall of the Third Reich currently, so this was a fun thread. Hitler really did hate Russians. He also hated Communists, so double whammy there.
