  1. I didn't realize Farcry 3 had Uplay. Bleh. But the game is pretty awesome, played a couple hours this evening.
  2. I've been hearing about that all day, amazing that prank got so far!
  3. I've been cleaning out my garage, then putting in springboard flooring, and now I need to lay down these large foam mats. We are setting up a little gymnastics/dance studio in our garage, and 20 by 12 feet in size. This dance studio that my daughter attended shut down a couple years ago, and they asked if they could store the equipment in our garage. It has been awhile and the owners moved away, so I decided to make use of it. It's been quite a bit of work. I am waiting on a roll of velcro I had to order to keep the mats together, and I also need to figure out how to cut the foam mats. The are very thick and I want it to cut smoothly.
  4. So after this whole thread I figured I'd look up who this blogger is Let me just say there are now a few more reasons that I hope I don't die when my daughter is 15.
  5. Alanschu, I think you are taking my glib comments on tattoos a bit seriously. When I say she should have her heart tattoo placed in the anatomically correct spot, that is really just me being silly. But that thing is huge, so when you tell me you didn't even notice it, I have a hard time believing that. She also has full sleeves showing in the video, they are hard to miss. It isn't like skin color, getting tattoos are a choice and there is an element of attention seeking in them. You are spending money to have an artist use your skin as a canvass, I don't see why you would do that and not expect people to notice them. I'm not even against tattoos, I think there are some very well done ones. This girl is also a public figure, she has a blog and she is putting it out there for people to see and hear her thoughts. I see that as making her fair game for criticism. If she was wearing white after labor day I'd point that out too. Back on topic a bit, she had mentioned that her father passed away at a young age and that played into the topic of the father daughter relationship. I used that to make a jab about her tattoos. It wasn't a nice comment, and it isn't one I would ever say to her face or anything like that. So I guess I would take that one back, but I'm still going to hope like crazy my own daughter doesn't go nuts with tattoos edit: I didn't even get started on the ear gauges!
  6. Guybrush and Governor Marley are a swashbuckling Romeo and Juliet. With less of the death at the end. Also if you are getting a heart tattooed on your chest, it should be located in the anatomically correct spot.
  7. Picked up Farcry 3, finally hit a price I was willing to pay.
  8. Welcome to the real world. Yeah, we have had that "pay for plastic " in place for about 5 years in South Africa. I am surprised that anywhere in the USA is behind this regard? You'll have to excuse us, we have a lot more open land than most to create sprawling landfills on
  9. I'm not sure it makes me superior to be a parent, but I do get emotional over a ton of stuff that never would have made me bat an eye before kids. So in that respect, a father/daughter hook is going to have more of an emotional impact on me now than it did 10 years ago. Although that really just happens in books, movies, and TV. I haven't had any real touching moments in a video game. But I haven't played most of these example games.
  10. San Jose is BYOB. I keep them in my car as well.
  11. I wasn't happy when the Devils put this deal together, so it is hard for me to feel sorry for their management. It's a bummer for the team, for sure.
  12. I've been playing Lord of the Rings Online again, almost up to level 80. The book quest is simply fantastic, right now I have a small group of companions and we are tracing the steps of the Fellowship of the Ring, right where they get separated and Frodo and Sam head off on their own. The quest variety in this game really beats any other MMO I've played. Many of them are based around solving some sort of mystery, you travel to one area, look for clues, then look around for landmarks...it's just really well told. Plus my captain is still the best class I've ever played in any RPG.
  13. SR2 was so surprisingly great, it really took me by surprise. SR3 has not had quite the same magic. But it's still a blast to sit down and play for a short session.
  14. Being cold and technical is one thing, but the way he moves against Tom Hall and Romero in the book are extremely sad. It's really a long list of people he discarded on his way to the top. Now the book could be presenting the story from a biased perspective, so the truth may be very different.
  15. Wals, I kind of hate you for making me watch that video blog. But yeah, I think it's an obvious sign that many game developers are now in their 30's and 40's and struggling with parenthood, where in the previous two decades they were mostly in their 20's. Also I hope I don't die when my daughter is 15 because that might cause her to go get terrible tattoos that distract from her natural beauty.
  16. Yes, let us trust Oby instead This is also not popular in any way. It needs to be on Oprah's Book Club list first. We should start an Oby's Book Club!
  17. I paid $40 for the full game and DLC a few weeks ago, and it has been well worth it.
  18. The problem with the GTA5 trailer for me is the golf and tennis minigames look like legitimate games. They should be fun and quick diversions, not the newest version of Tiger Woods Golf. I'm more excited to swing a **** bat at aliens, to be honest.
  19. Vice City was probably one of my favorite games ever, but GTA4 was simply too serious for me. But I'm just glad we have so many fantastic options when it comes to sandbox action games. They all fill a niche.
  20. Michael Crichton's "Andromeda Strain" is one that you should read.
  21. I've been reading the Biography of id software, Masters of DOOM. It's pretty interesting, a very well written biography. Although John Carmack seems like a total jerk in it.
  22. Not sure if serious... Both of them are only in their first year of eligibility. Blake will be in but he's not quite in the same class as the other two. Fluery is a cool player and all, and he'll get in, but he doesn't hold a candle to Shanahan. It was ridiculous Shanny didn't get in last year.
  23. Brenden Shanahan is now a Hall of Famer! Chris Chelios and Neidermyer also made it.
  24. Playable, yes, but it's a really shoddy port of an otherwise very good game. I'm playing Saint's Row 3 on my PC and it runs like a dream.
