Eh, I could dig up thousands of stories like that being done in the name of Christianity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kirk losing his father in the first film is a new twist, no? So new movie Kirk compared to TV show Kirk would be lacking that father figure? Just a possible explanation for the change in character, I don't really read that much into these things. I go for the explosions.

The Rangers beat a pretty good Caps team, so I doubt they will can the coach.

Isn't there a couple out at this point? It is the first I pledged. It does seem to be the first big RPG, for sure.

Quite a few of us own consoles and play them regularly, Greylord, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that you are alone in that here. What you are alone in is the misguided notion that PC gaming is dead. It has simply changed. You are correct that it has lost visibility in stores. But it has become a huge part of the digital marketplace landscape. Also you keep bringing up Steam alongside Blizzard, which is odd. Blizzard is a very successful developer, but Steam's success is for entirely different reasons and benefits countless developers. You can start worrying about PC gaming being dead when the big developers and publishers stop making games on the PC. That hasn't happened. Sure, Call of Duty sells a buttload of copies on consoles, and yet they still feel it is worth releasing a PC version. Why would they release their games on a dead system?

Star Trek Online - Ok, maybe I'm not a big enough Star Trek fan. I have no idea what most of these races are, and I'm a bit lost on what the heck is happening.

I noticed your internet connection has a bit to do with it, I could not get very clear images running on my laptop with wifi at work. One of my classes got really lucky and ended up with the Universal Studios sign for Orlando Florida. They got 5500 points for that one alone.

Hangover 3 - Don't spend any money seeing this. I had a free ticket and I still felt like it was a waste. It really didn't make me laugh. The only positive is that it gave a sense of closure to the whole story, I have no desire to see these people again. I loved the first one and thought the 2nd had some good moments, so I was pretty surprised how little this did for me.

Is a potluck BBQ the same as communism?

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.

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.

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?

Propaganda doesn't actually need any truth to work, it just needs a lack of education to prey on.

I've been playing this addictive Bad Piggies spinoff of Angry Birds on my tablet a lot lately. It's pretty creative.

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.

Is STO worth playing? It does seem somewhat interesting to me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ah, so it's more about race than religion. Sounds much better now.

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.

$1.35 million is their goal? Ouch, that's not going to happen.
