I'm pretty sure you can find random pics of just about anything on the internet. But it speaks volumes about Oby that he feels the need to do so. He also doesn't seem to have any clue what SWAT is and how they vary from state to state and even town to town.

Wonderful, another shooter on the grassy knoll for conspiracy nuts to play with. So these two innocent brothers just happened to be carrying multiple backpacks around the Boston Marathon, then when the police released images of them, they decided to go on a crime spree? Not everything is a cover up.

Crazy brings in the ratings, I suppose. It kind of undermines his whole spiel when he uses it as a teaser to get people to listen to his show on Monday.

There are people in the US that fail basic geography quizzes about their own country, it really shouldn't surprise people that they are confusing Chechnya with the Czech Republic. Of course I'd be surprised if many Europeans on this forum could tell me the difference between Arkansas and Kansas without using the internet.

The suspect was captured alive, so that will lead to an interesting trial.

The people in the PE forums probably think we are bizarre for coming to Obsidian and rarely discussing anything to do with the company

What is wrong with some of you? This isnt a movie, there are law enforcement people putting their lives in jeopardy to stop those two violent psychopaths. If you think you can do a better job, go join the police academy and stop looking like a total a-hole. These two brothers blew up an 8 year old boy and crippled over a hundred innocent people. Get a clue.

Drowsy, what connection are you making exactly? These two men would have been children at the time of that event. Apparently the older brother actually attended School Number One, but they left the country a year before that happened. The uncle has been interviewed, and it was refreshing to hear him call his nephews losers that have disgraced the family. Usually the family is pretty quiet about this stuff. I agree this seems less political or religious and more a horrific act committed by two boys who felt like outsiders.

I read a report that they came to the US almost 10 years ago, that means this younger brother was only about 10. So his commitment might not be the same as his older brother.

GI Joe - First off, I got the theatre all to myself, which was perfect. I enjoyed it, but the best part of the movie was watching the dynmac between Channing Tatum (Duke) and Roadblock (The Rock). The movie had some fun parts after that, but nothing really great. Bruce Willis was also fun to watch. I really think this whole IP should be based on a more fictional world though. COBRA has melted the Eiffel tower and blown up London at this point, those are huge events and they are kind of glossed over. It seemed weird. Still, best not to think too much on the plot, it is a fun action romp and it does that well. I think I might prefer the first one though, the character development was rather weak in this one, and my favorite part is bringing to life the action figures. Leaving out Destro was also lame.

I'm not sure how much time you've spent in California, but I live closer to the farmlands and a bible belt than Berkeley. Also, and this has surprised pretty much everyone, Governor Moonbeam has become a fiscal conservative in his old age. He's made huge cuts from the last Republican governor, that's for sure. We are even looking at a budget surplus in the years to come.

I noticed that the JA developer is also the one doing the TB version of Space Hulk. Hey, I do hope they are successful, I'd love to have a new Chaos Gate style Space Hulk game, and I'd be amazed at a decent Jagged Alliance. But I'm not going to kickstart them. I save my investment dollars for folks that have done something amazing in the past. That's why I threw money at Obsidian, Lori and Corey Cole, and the Space Quest guys. Even if they fail, they've given me enough memories for me to deserve a shot at it. This made me curious about Ian and Linda Currie, and apparently they are doing extremely well at Turbine working on both DDO and LotRO, so I don't see them launching any kickstarters soon.

I don't see anything about Ian Currie being on board and so that means it isn't really Jagged Alliance. He's actually at Turbine, which is my second favorite game developer. Seriously, you can't have Jagged Alliance without him. They don't appear to have anyone from Sir-Tech, so I really don't see any reason to get any hopes up here. Firaxis did X-COM: Enemy Unknown without Julian Gollop and did a pretty bang up job IMHO. With that said, I'd be happier if Ian Currie was involved in this. Firaxis is one of the best developers out there and has a ton of experience with epic turn based games. This JA developer doesn't sound like it has anything resembling a resume.

Back in Action is not really Jagged Alliance either. If you haven't played Jagged Alliance 2, you've missed out on one of the greatest games ever created.

I backed them as well. And I expect fewer (or no) nasty surprises from them Clearly you aren't a Jagged Alliance fan

That is a bit odd GD, we have night janitorial staff at our school (although I think they clock out by midnight) as well as a security guard that patrols a few different campuses. Every union is different though, they all have their quirks.

The picture doesn't do it justice, but the flower are all gently swaying like an ocean. Spying on Saruman's horde.

Could be Fallout 4, maybe set in Kansas.

IT Crowd is still my favorite, but Black Books is a pretty close second.

I'm enjoying the 6th year anniversary celebrations in Lord of the Rings Online. I actually decided to upgrade to a deluxe house, I've had a small one for years, but at level 70 I'm making money pretty easily so I think it is time for an upgrade. Now I just need to get more furniture, I'm trading in my anniversary tokens for as many paintings as I can get. It's a fun little side project. Today I was fighting a troll and two orcs, and the troll knocked me into another group of orcs. I thought I was a goner, I haven't had any real tough fights in awhile because all my mines of Moria gear is very strong, but I managed to pull out the win with a bit of health left. It was a good challenge, I had to use a couple skills to survive that I haven't touched in awhile.

It has been recommended to me several times but I have never watched it. Where could I watch it for free? I believe it is on Hulu.

Looking back, the first Game of Thrones was the best for me because it was fairly tight woven and had a clear conclusion, even though it was a pretty bleak way to end it. The storylines are pretty messy right now, I just hope we don't get any new characters when the next book comes out, which will probably be in 10 years or so. I like the show but they focus a lot on the romances, more than I recall in the book. I don't even remember the Rob Stark wedding, I swear he just showed up with her at some point in the books. I'm excited to see how certain events are handled in the show though, and as I watch the actors I keep picturing them in future scenes. They really cast the heck out of that show, Tyrion is the best but even the kids are engaging. Arya Stark is probably my second favorite, I can't wait until she reaches Braavos.

I'll drop them off some time, the adorableness wears off quickly

Alaska is mostly wilderness, so a bit different than Michigan. It's interesting that even our resident libertarian is a bit put off by Tsuga's gun talk. It makes me feel better about all the eyebrows I raise reading his posts.
