It usually means their health care and benefits programs are designed to allow gay couples to get the same benefits as married couples.

I think I'm about 4 years past the apex there.

A major company coming out against discrimination is pretty much all positive, regardless of what their games are like.

Heh, it took me a second to put the two different games together. That is a pretty odd coincidence.

I have no idea what is wrong with roses, they are a symbol of romanticism and this isn't a friend date. If you are meeting somewhere and carrying flowers is an issue, get a single long stemmed rose with one of those little water attachments. It will keep it fresh and can be left in a car or someplace else easily enough. And if she really has an issue with roses or cutting flowers, she's a loony and not worth your time

Bring flowers. If you are in phone contact with her, find out what her favorite color is and bring flowers in that shade. It is seriously the most important part of the date. Also holding open doors and all that stuff Raithe said is great too. But seriously, bring the dang flowers.

Actually every 7th grader in California is taught about the history of Timbuktu and their legacy of Islamic scholars and universities. It's one of my favorite units.

Gaah. I don't see how anyone can call these people Muslims. They're destroying records from one of the greatest Islamic learning centers in history.

If only I could get Columbo to narrate it I have a kindle fire, and there are a few of these choose your own adventure type games on it, but it seems like more can be done with the genre. It really could play more like a pen and paper game, with stats and dice rolls to determine outcomes. I also think there has to be a way to make it more of a social experience. Something like how words with friends allows you to make moves with a group of people. Eh, just a musing. I'd need a real programmer to do much more than that.

Ah, I assumed he meant IE. I'm taking care of my daughter who has the flu, and contemplating writing one of those choose your own adventure novel games.

And hopefully you will never use Explorer again!

We had a fantastic thread on this forum for LOST, it went all six years and was filled with all our theories and interpretations. I can't really think of any show I've had more fun with. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/54118-lost-season-six/?hl=lost Could only find the season 6 thread. Dang search button.

The combat is not going to get better with the full version, the whole system is awkward. The game as a whole is just not that appealing. It might be a decent bargain bin pickup down the road.

It looks intriguing. I like that people keep comparing the combat to Xcom, although it sounds like it isn't on the same level. I'll give it a whirl when I get home. Eh, after playing the demo, my attention has waned. The combat is super clunky.

Star Trek and Lost were phenomenal. This is good news.

Wow, the Sharks top line is super hot right now. Last night I went to bed and they were down 3-1 with about 10 minutes to play, and I wake up to read they won 5-3. I'm also excited to see Gomez play this weekend. He's a huge upgrade over Handzus if he ends up centering the 3rd line, and he has the potential to be more than that. Pretty good bargain for $700k

The odds of Oby actually living in Russia are pretty slim Bruce.

It piqued my interest, but I never played the original, and continuity is extremely important me. What if I miss an important backstory about an engine block?

Folks, you need to get your priorities in order. Is it really more important to you to see Ubisoft fail than it is to see Obsidian succeed? Because you refusing to buy South Park because of the publisher is going to hit the developer a heck of a lot harder than anyone else. I dislike Ubisoft's DRM policies as much as many of you, but I'm not willing to throw Obsidian under the bus to make my point.

You mean Death Race 3? well good ending to the trilogy started by jason statham I did mean 3. It was a pretty satisfying wrap up of the whole Death Race story. Definitely a guilty pleasure. Maybe they will feature 14k as the lead in Death Race 4. That guy was pretty awesome.

I'm mostly annoyed that Uplay is often redundant. If I buy a game on Steam, I am already going through a DRM check, using a key, logging in, etc. It is super annoying to have to do it again when I start up a Ubisoft product.

Ubisoft's online verification system. It's like Origin or Steam for Ubisoft games. I think it only applies to PC gamers.

Ubisoft is a major publisher, so this might actually be good for the South Park game and Obsidian as a developer. They know how to advertise, that's for sure. Personally I cringe at the idea of having to use Uplay. Maybe I'll buy it on the PS3 instead.

Southpark to Ubisoft: I'm a bit upset about this. I really don't want to use Uplay. Maybe we will get lucky and they will just stick to Steamplay? Still, I'm very happy it was picked up by a major publisher. That's good for Obsidian.
