I avoided controllers for years because of the optimization problems, but the Xbox controller solved that.

Honestly it doesn't even matter which 3rd party you vote for, if we can just shift enough votes away from the top two we would see a dramatic change in the way the congress functions. I'd probably split my votes between the Libertarians and the Green Party, just to keep a nice balance

Maybe we can start a 3rd party movement, where we encourage everyone to vote for people not in the Republican or Democratic party.

Sports games are a lot more comfortable with a controller as well. The Xbox PC controller is probably the best component I've ever bought for my PC.

It's pretty hard to trust the polls when you get vastly different numbers depending on whether you call it Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act.

Weird, I've always heard that about 70% of Americans are covered and Obamacare will lift that to 95%.

I am currently paying $195 a month for Creon, an enzyme that helps my wife's pancreas process food. This is after insurance covers 80% of the cost.

Being dead doesn't shield you from criticism. Using news of someone's death as an opportunity to criticize them indicates atypical empathy, possibly stemming from a personality disorder. Which is not really atypical in the internet

My vet always gets uncomfortable when I take my pants off and request a prostrate exam. So how do we curb costs without involving the government?

Would you be more comfortable with a large private corporation being given a monopoly? I'm thinking along the lines of how we handle utilities in most of the country. I have my problems with PG&E, but they do run a bit better than some of the hospitals I've had to deal with. Hmm, I'll have to think on how I feel about that.

You folks are really keeping it classy today.

Well, Russia did have some stuff going on in Alaska

The league doesn't want it out, it would be easy to get rid of it if they did. Most sports kick you out of the game and suspend you, Hockey gives you a 5 minute penalty that doesn't even hurt your team.

I'm not concerned about the government becoming some boogey man that will only help those that have favorable political views. Look at how the IRS was torn to shreds when it came out that they targeted Tea Party members. It is simply too easy to get caught doing it. I am concerned that our government is too much of a mess to run such a huge system with any effectiveness. I'd rather see individual states handling this, but that has plenty of pitfalls as well.

That Deus Ex stuff sounds complicated and uninteresting. But I loved HR so I look forward to the next PC game they release.

I was wrong about my family costs, it is actually $979 a month to cover my family through my employer. This is what I would pay out of my paycheck every month. I thought this was a funny little synopsis. http://youtu.be/qSjGouBmo0M If you pay close attention, at no point is he taking a side in the whole political clusterduck.

I don't understand why they still have fighting. The new helmet rule makes it clear they don't really want it in the league office. Get rid of it, it is stupid and not hockey.

The Centaur is a play on the rumor that ARod has a painting like that in his home.

Picked up Mars: War Logs for cheap on a Steam sale, so far it looks like a fun RPG. I love the setting and the combat is interesting.

I watched the IT Crowd on Netflix, as well as all the Stargate stuff. Also, Arrested Development is one of the best shows ever and the only place you can get the last season is Netflix. It has a pretty huge inventory, I doubt you will regret the few bucks it costs for a month. I'd buy you a gift subscription, but it only lets me buy one for the US.

I'm not sure what to make of the Sharks this year. They haven't made a lot of changes, but they did look decent in the preseason game I went to.

Absolutely not. Netflix is an independent company, I drive by their building every day. It is the best way to catch up on Breaking Bad, it will take you through every episode except the last 7 or so. They typically get the seasons around the same time the DVD's come out. A lot of the other outlets will make you pay by episode or season, Netflix is just a monthly flat fee.

She looks like Jennifer Tilly, is that her? Just looked it up. Wow, she has not aged a bit. edit: Did some more "research" She is 55 and still looks amazing. That picture may be a bit older, but she was still probably late 40's when it was taken.

It's silly, but I bet some folks will buy them, which means it's a good idea from a business standpoint.

We are talking about entertaining plot devices, not University coursework. Very little of the fantasy world is grounded in logic.
