    I don't think they've been working on it in that way. It better be a stable game at least.

    Or a spatial opera game where we have to manipulate sound?

    Blasphemer!

    Did you get burned by one of them?

    It kind of sounds like common sense that if you are legitimately going around grateful and thankful towards everyone, then you are probably a pretty happy person.

    I typically drink the pedialyte I have on hand for when my kids get sick. It's pretty amazing hangover medicine.

    I don't see them doing it, but I'll back Obsidian on anything. I see them doing something closer to that time travel game they pitched awhile back.

    We used to cook our chickens over a pan of bacon grease. Not in the grease, but on a rack above it, so that the grease would pop and sizzle up and help flavor the chicken. Pretty awesome. We'd also brine it first with rosemary and a bit of salt.

    Yeah, it's definitely Final Fantasy. It took me awhile to get over it, actually. I haven't played any jrpg's in so long that it was pretty off putting.

    Go play FFXIV! It has actually been a pretty fun experience, it has nailed a lot of the MMO positives while still being unique in a lot of ways. Although they need a better way to filter spam. Ugh, the goldsellers are everywhere.

    I had the same problem. I ended up using imageshack.

    I love lentils. I made lasagna last night. It was my first attempt, and I was happy with the result. I wish I had layered in more of the macaroni, but the sauce came out really well, and it was on the back of a Safeway Macaroni box! It was basically some tomato paste, diced tomatoes, some sugar and red pepper flakes, and some fresh basil. There was garlic and onions as well. I went with ricotta and mozzarella cheese as the other layers.

    Well in California we cut quite a few mental health programs decades ago, and because of that a good chunk of our homeless are people with mental illnesses. They are typically in and out of halfway homes.

    California has rebounded nicely, thanks to a fiscally conservative governor. Some cities are still in trouble because they are not making necessary cuts, but the state had a budget surplus in 2013 after years of deficits.

    The trillion dollar cost is the estimate over a 10 year period. It's tricky though, because there is also a lot of stuff in the UHC that could lower medical costs. Hospitals actually factor in the losses they take on uninsured patients when deciding what to charge. That should go away with UHC.

    The Iraq war is estimated to cost $1.2 trillion. Honestly the cost of the UHC is not the issue. Everybody has some different spin on what it will cost, what it will save, and they are typically just trying to gain political points. The real issue is: Can the government manage these policies without making a mess of it? The answer is no. But insurance companies have been doing a piss poor job for decades, so it's not like the bar is set very high. edit: Simply put, the government can't even get along well enough to avoid work stoppages, so I have little faith.

    We've been paying for those who can't pay for years, well before Obamacare was ever a thought.

    Well, since the GTA-series has been a satire of hyper-masculinity and mass consumption, i would bet that the female lead would not behave very feminine so to speak. Am I the only one filled with a quiet rage every time someone claim GTA is a satire? It's power fantasy with some self-awareness. Self-awareness can be confused for satire and there's lots of satire in the unimportant details (such as Republican Space Rangers), but there's also crude jokes and parody just as frequently (Post-Op, hi-larious...). No, you are not. There is really nothing satirical about the GTA games. They aren't really even parodies, they take themselves too seriously. They are more tribute pieces than anything else, heavily inspired by certain films.

    I'm guessing that handing out Mars bars isn't going to get him into heaven, but it is an interesting moment. It makes sense that some of these guys are going to have regrets as soon as they get in the thick of it.

    Final Fantasy XIV is a pretty charming game. It doesn't do anything drastically different than other MMO's, but so far it is just different enough to be refreshing, while still being comfortable to play.

    It doesn't really bother me when celebrities are idiotic, and I have no trouble blaming Jane Fonda's antic on her being such. But whoever decided she should portray Nancy Reagan was simply fishing for a negative reaction, and they got it.

    What server are you on? I may give it a shot as well. Brynhildr. I'm not tied to it, I barely started my character so I can switch if you find a better one or know anyone else playing.
  24. Hurlshort
    Decieded to give Final Fantasy XIV a whirl, the MMO that was released, then rereleased and is now apparently much better. I only got through the character creation, but it seems pretty slick so far.

    Trashman, I think your argument would work better if you went with cases of statutory rape. There is a very large difference between that and pedophilia.
