  1. Is a potluck BBQ the same as communism?
  2. He was leading up some Kickstarter project relatively recently: At the Gates I backed it. It looks like a very nice independent strategy game at this point. I enjoyed Civ V, so I figured I could throw the guy a few bucks.
  3. I asked my wife, who was a personal trainer and has a kinesiology degree, and she said that the fatigue factor that you subject your muscles to can increase the risk of tears and strains. But if you are careful about using different muscle groups on different days, it shouldn't be a problem. Cardio is different, you should be able to do that every day no problem.
  4. Hmm, I just read that zinc is one of the components that the body needs to create testosterone, since I'm lifting weights 1.5 hours / day 7 days a week which increases production of testosterone quite significantly there might indeed be a zinc deficit.I don't know if it works that way, but I'm definitely going to ask for a blood screen. I'm not a fitness expert, but aren't you supposed to have a rest day worked in there somewhere?
  5. Propaganda doesn't actually need any truth to work, it just needs a lack of education to prey on.
  6. I've been playing this addictive Bad Piggies spinoff of Angry Birds on my tablet a lot lately. It's pretty creative.
  7. I think my tastes have simply changed. Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 seem like solid continuations of the Action RPG and TBS genre respectively, but I'm no longer really into those types of games. I buy them thinking I can recapture a time from my childhood, but it has already passed.
  8. Is STO worth playing? It does seem somewhat interesting to me.
  9. Woldan I'd see a doctor as soon as you can. It could be a simple zinc-deficiency, but better to be safe and get checked out now.
  10. You can pay on their official site: http://www.jaggedallianceflashback.com/
  11. I always though JA1 was a bit overlooked by most. It had some brilliant moments. You had no night missions, you had to get your soldiers back to a safe sector before it got dark, but overnight some pretty funny stuff would happen. I had a somewhat irritating girl on my squad, and one morning she just disappeared. Fidel swore he had no idea what happened to her or why he had a bloody knife on him. Also, I miss the deadly eels.
  12. I didn't enjoy D3, but it clearly didn't bomb. edit: I'm guessing a good chunk of the hours played per day are coming out of Asian markets.
  13. Woo hoo! With paypal (currently at $8k) they should be in pretty decent shape. I still think it is going to be a fairly small game, but hopefully they can nail the combat and inject some of the personality.
  14. Yup, that worked out so well in Boston. Or that schoolshooting. Or the Batman shooting. Or the New York sniper. Or the multitude of family dramas. Or the schoolshootings. Etc. etc.It only looks like it helps the perpetrators. Or is that what you want? As horrible as this is, they had to resort to knives. Only one innocent life got lost. In gunhappy America the innocent deathtoll would probably be much higher as they would just empty their guns on everybody. Much easier killing. *sigh* Americans... Woldan is Austrian.
  15. Ah, so it's more about race than religion. Sounds much better now.
  16. Fantastic interview with Ian Currie on his support for the Full Control JA. I really wish I could pledge a bit more at this point.
  17. $1.35 million is their goal? Ouch, that's not going to happen.
  18. My condolences Astiaks. My daughter really scared me a few months ago when her temperature hit 103.7 F. But the doctors said it was fine, as long as it went down after a couple days. Definitely a stressful time as a parent.
  19. Yeah Vokoun is looking like a pretty good answer to the Pens biggest weakness. I'd almost forgot Iginla was on the Pens. Ouch indeed.
  20. Just to clarify, people who kill innocents aren't Muslims, they are extremists. There is a rather large difference. It's like calling every video gamer a murderer.
  21. So we should just trust your analysis?
  22. Yeah that's probably just you then. It's a fantastic book.
  23. Again it isn't their project, so it really isn't their place to say anything on it.
  24. I've decided to play this with my students, and we are not allowed to use google. We only use the context clues available and then I take a vote to decide where to put the marker. It is tying into my age of exploration unit pretty well. I'm putting each class score up on the board to see who can do the best
  25. There are medium sized developers successfully producing and maintaining MMO's, so there is no reason to think they would become anything like Blizzard or Bioware. That being said, this is not their project, they are assisting with it. That means both their risks and rewards are limited greatly.
