Unless the poster isn't really buying the games, which simply means they place little value on their own time. We all use these forums to air our grievances, but there is a point where it is good to move on.

The Obsidian Cup
I played the Undead solo and was happy with them, so I'm sticking to it. And this game makes me feel like a wet behind the ears 12-year old

I'm reading that as well, Rothfuss is a pretty great writer.

I definitely enjoyed Breaking Bad. Poor Jesse. It will be a tough wait for the finale.

At the end of the year when the grades are done, I show Firefly episodes to my students, and they always laugh at the terrible mandarin. Many of my students are very fluent.

Will there be a version of South Park Stick Of Truth For the Xbox One console?
I doubt it, the game is being developed for the 360. They haven't talked about making it next-gen.

Cable is really where it is at for giving shows a chance to mature and develop. The major networks are terrible about that, and Fox is probably the quickest at pulling the trigger. Fox is also the quickest to put outside the box programming up, so it's a bit hard to hate them completely.

The Obsidian Cup
Well, I'll learn as I go I suppose, I just thought they looked cool. What's a good beginner team? edit: Read over the guide, I might try undead instead.

Geez, that was an ugly one. It must have caught a good wind, it looks like a pop fly coming off the bat.

The pilot and the movie are pretty different, in fact they change the story quite a bit with Simon taking a more active role in the rescue of his sister. I was very bummed about Firefly being cancelled, but then we got a movie and that wrapped up a decent amount of plot lines for my tastes. I'm not bitter about it and I love watching all the Firefly actors find success elsewhere.

Ok I joined...seems a bit confusing. I made a brand new necromantic team and they look like they will be terrible.

I'm really enjoying the way the A's keep getting it done. I'm more of a Giants fan, but they are still a local team so I'm happy to see them succeed, and the way they do it with a small budget and few big names is just fantastic.

Obamacare Guarantees Higher Insurance Premiums
http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/09/14/obama-to-labor-unions-multi-employer-health-plans-drop-dead/?partner=yahootix Obama the Labor Union killer? I'm not sure how widespread the impact of this is, since it only affects small businesses that are part of larger Union groups. But it is an interesting wrinkle in Obamacare.

There is no way they go after Bonds for obstruction of justice of he isn't Barry Bonds. The perjury charges were a stretch and he wasn't convicted of them. Basically he was put on trial for not telling the truth (while not fully lying), which is absolutely ridiculous. The slap on the wrist is simply something they wouldn't bother with if it was some no name guy, but they wanted to make an example of him. We are going after a baseball player for being evasive in front of a grand jury about performance enhancing drugs. I really can't think of anything that sounds more silly. In the baseball world Bonds is going to suffer the consequences, which is more understandable. Him and Roger Clemens should be obvious 1st ballot HoFers, but instead they are going to get the cold shoulder for a bit. But it would also be ridiculous not to have them in the HoF, because they absolutely dominated their era of the game, even if it was the steroid era.

Somebody should go after the prosecutors for a colossal waste of taxpayers dollars on the Bonds case.

I'm giving Dishonored another shot, I'm not sure why I stopped playing it originally. I am enjoying the setting and the writing. Hopefully I'll be able to devote some time to it. I'm also toying with Blood Bowl. I'm learning new stuff every game, but I'm still terrible. The pre-game options are mind boggling.

Ah, so he's really a business guy. So that makes Volourn's concern even more unlikely.

I can work around the time differences pretty well. It just might mean weekend game times.

What is it that you enjoy in Bioware games, Volourn? For me it is the story line and the characters. That's pretty much why I keep buying them, the game play takes a backseat. I thought TOR was a mediocre MMO. But it had one strength, and that was the story line and the characters. So I see no need for concern here. Also TOR is free now so you should give it a whirl. Then your scorn can shine brighter.
