Anyone who looks back on the 70's as some sort of glory days is really got a heavy tint on those rose colored glasses.

The end is near! My tiny super computer phone told me so!

Yeah, I mean it's hard to feel sorry for a guy for being overpaid, but that contract was ridiculous. He is a fantastic guy for 2-3 million a year, but he was a second line center in his best days.

This is actually a good petition. I didn't know much about this guy before he committed suicide, but it sounds like he was a victim of a way overzealous DA. This should have been a misdemeanor case at the worst, and it put a guy that already seemed to be struggling with mental issues over the edge. So thanks for the good link Oby

2014 is really not that far Calax, you can make it!

It's pretty common for Obsidianites to drunk dial the forums Ros

No. The weapons of choice for that are media and schools. I don't think I remember that episode.

In related news, the P90 is also the weapon of choice when travelling through Stargates and spreading Western Imperialistic propaganda through the universe.

I remember in Asheron's Call 2 you could get these big worm creatures stuck on the terrain and then pelt them from afar. They were worth a ton of xp, so my buddies and I would just farm these for hours to gain levels. You could actually get up and leave, then come back 20 minutes later and the fight would be over. Different times, I suppose

It sounds more like there was a looting exploit that had not been fixed, and rather than reporting it, the person went out of their way to take advantage of it. Most of that stuff is pretty typical policing in an MMO, which is trying to keep the economy stable and deal with gold sellers, bots, etc. The only one that would actually bother me is the person who was censored for using swear words in private tells. Unless the person e was sending the /tell to reported him, I don't see how that is a problem worth policing.

That sounds like something I would tell my students. 7th graders seem to think that if they take an article from wikipedia and reword it sentence by sentence that they will produce something coherent.

I don't know about that. I mean Obsidian typically uses the space bar when they write in their games, and yet you are posting on their forum without doing so.

The quests were far and away the best thing about TOR. Also choosing the jerk dialogue options while playing with my wife was hilarious, she groaned every time I won a die roll. I can't really remember many of the quests in WoW. Lord of the Rings Online still has the best quests for me, but it's easy to remember the story when you've read books and watched movies that all took part in that same universe.

I don't understand, can you explain it?

I'd imagine Alan probably shouldn't give too much in the way of an official interview here on the Obsidian forums. It might be frowned upon to do so by his management.

I'm not that fond of Pier Morgan, but that guy comes across like a raving lunatic.

I take it non-fat milk is out of the question? 1% is my preference, but I've gone with nonfat a few times and never been too upset about it. Ice Cream is my big weakness.

The Sharks are getting a bit long in the tooth as well, so it will be interesting to see if the shortened season benefits them. They limped into the postseason last year.

Really sorry to hear that WD. Take care.

Seriously, my health care costs were skyrocketing before Obamacare even got passed. The system is broken. I don't think Obamacare will fix it, but all the people who attack it instead of coming up with reasonable solutions and alternatives are just another part of the problem. The cost of insuring my family of four through my employer right now is $600 a month. We are young and healthy, we don't smoke, we barely drink, we don't take part in bull riding or anything. That's crazy. My employer is shelling out a good deal more than that as well.

I agree, but that has been aided by watching my baseball team win the World Series, having a decent basketball team, my college football team making it to a bowl game, and the NFL. With football wrapping up soon, it will be nice to have some hockey to watch in February and beyond. Plus you still can't beat the Stanley Cup playoffs for entertainment purposes.

Time for a resurrection, as it looks like we will have a dab of hockey this season! The lockout looks to be ending, and a new CBA is apparently about 10 years long, so hopefully that means no ridiculous stoppages in the near future. It will be interesting how teams adapt to this very short prep time before the short season, and who comes out of the gate ready to compete.

That's a pretty good idea. I watched some movie with him called Driver recently. It was a bit of a tribute to the 80's, but he was very good in it.

Woohoo, go Warriors! Does Bogut stay healthy in the video game?

Crazy Stupid Love was pretty awesome, but I thought it was less of a romantic comedy and more of a bromance film between Ryan Gosling and Steve Carrel.
