They ran the tests at the hospital, but all her tests came back normal, so they discharged her. It's good because a night at the hospital isn't fun, but we still don't know what is going on. She is going to try and go to work tomorrow, the pain has subsided considerably and she was able to eat dinner without it starting up again.

That's the thing, I love the challenge of a good turn based strategy game because I have time to think and, um, strategize. I'm happy playing my action games on easy. I usually am playing it for the story and the exploration, not for the challenge of each fight. If it's too challenging, I'll simply get frustrated and play something else. I want to make consistent progress, not hit a brick wall.

It is the only mission I've had such problems on, so it could have been just a one time glitch. If I ever shoot down one of those massive ships again, I'll find out.

She saw the doctor and now she is going back in the hospital

We are actually on our third doctor This one seems very good though, he's been running a lot of different tests to figure out what it is. The other two were when she was in the hospital, and they didn't seem too interested in finding the problem.

The only requirement for a game is that it is fun. Also challenging is a very elastic criteria, obviously a lot of people enjoy the challenge of putting together different combos in the Batman games, even though they are not highly difficult like Ninja Gaiden.

My wife had her pancreatitis flare up this weekend, so that stinks. She was planning to go back to work today, but now she is waiting and trying to get another appointment to see the doctor. We still don't know why it is happening. She has been eating nothing but vegetables and rice for weeks now.

I found my first frustrating experience last night, and it had more to do with the camera and clipping issues than gameplay. I was on a tough mission against a very large crashed ship, bit I kept having trouble getting the soldiers to go where I wanted, and the roof of the ship kept messing up my visibility. Given that i was fighting commanders and mutons, It was causing all sorts of problems. Thankfully I wasn't on Ironman and reloaded at the start of the mission.

Let me guess, you googled 'against multiculturalism' and that is what you found.

I'm also sitting on Dishonoured. Weird.

I'm glad you are comfortable sharing stuff here Cant. I feel the same way, and it is much cheaper than seeing a therapist

That is good. People make way too much about who is in office, these guys are very limited in what they can do.

This is another situation where Krezacks ignorance about how something in the US works betrays him. Many colleges own large tracts of land, if they can derive income from parts of that land, why wouldnt they? They arent plopping an oil rig down in the middle of the dining commons.

Well Goon is a pretty awesome documentary, so it's worth a watch.

Well I've always suspected the moderators are all wealthy millionaires living on their own private islands.

I am disappointed this thread isn't about the real Goon movie. http://youtu.be/sytVoTYFT08

All four of them are pretty smarmy, it is a requirement for being a politician.

Good to see you back GD, if only for a spell. The political threads are sorely lacking your voice, Project Eternity brought in some new conservatives, but the magic just isn't there Speaking of which, I hope you get a chance to pledge Project Eternity, it looks like it is right up your alley.

The update got me fairly excited, last night I even took a break from Xcom to play for a bit

I don't think anyone is content with the acid and poison attacks. The reason this one attacks getting more exposure and attention is because she was a very popular figure for her willingness to speak out about education. She had received a major award from the government and there are interviews of her that are now circulating the web. Now you could take the cynical approach and go "she's getting the attention because she's a celebrity" or you can see her as a very good symbol for all the girls that have been attacked by perverse groups like the Taliban. I would hope the outpouring of attention her attack is receiving will help change Pakistani society.

You don't seem to really understand who the Taliban are and what their relationship is to Afghanistan.

I've been trying to explain that to him for like the last year. His trolling could be way more effective with focus. That's why I always scoff when people compare him to Lord of Flies, he's nowhere near as organized or coherent.

I wish I could offer advice, but I am also very recently estranged from my family. I really have no idea what I will do when faced with their health issues. As for making the pledge, I don't want to come across as harsh Cant, but I do feel like this is something for you and not for your father. It will make you feel better. I would say this even if your were making a contribution to charity in his name. It may help your conscience, but how will it make him feel? Will he understand it? I don't know enough about your relationship to answer that, of course. I've been praying for guidance with my own estrangement, I'll add you to my prayers

Xcom is somewhat decent for short play sessions though. Basically I save the game just as a mission starts and then decide if I have time to keep playing. Each mission takes about 15-30 minutes at the max, it seems, so they are easily digestible in small portions.

Did Oby really try to justify the actions of the Taliban here? Obvious troll is obvious.
