Like? Two separate developers, two separate publishers, two separate franchises. I don't see how this game failing could affect Risen 2 at all. For some reason I thought the developers were tied together.

I really hope this being a bomb won't affect Risen 2.

The Sistine Chapel, the preservation of Latin, Hagia Sophia, the Jesuit Order, Rome... I could really go on and on. Christianity is an intrinsic part of European History. For better or worse, the Church was involved in everything that happened in Europe after the Fall of the Roman Empire. Here is an interesting question: If the Crusades never happen, does Europe still have a Renaissance?

Apparently it is a work of genius.

If they get even close, I'll be happy. Having a new protagonist will be trickier though.

Cop Out - Pretty bad. I watched it, and then I noticed Kevin Smith directed it. I didn't see his signature on it at all. It was really not funny. Tracey Morgan and Bruce Willis have zero chemistry.

No, real men play City of heroes. I think real men play Vanguard. That's a hardcore MMO.

If it makes you two feel better, I played it for a couple years and really enjoyed it. But real men play LotRO.

I haven't got much sleep in the last week, so I took the day off and hid in my RV and slept for quite a few hours. I feel energized.

Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh? The proper response is "How appropriate, you fight like a cow."

That's a fact, Jack.

Strange, because I was enjoying the movie for about an hour then it scurried, in my opinion, up it's own arse. The ending was awful to this callsign. I thought the car accident was pretty clever. The rest of the ending left me a bit meh, but I'm a sucker for a somewhat happy ending.

Oh wow, so am I. My main is Taranto, feel free to add me to your friend list. As I said, I'm on sporadically, but I do try and play a couple times a month.

We should do a SoDOFF raid/instance sometime! Are you playing? I'm pretty sure Setzer is on another server. One of the devs was a player too, if I remember correctly. I tried to get a few others to play but none of them stuck with it. It's weird, I find LotRO way more engaging than I did WoW, and I feel like it is easier to go back to after a month or two break, but a lot of people I game with lose interest in it rather quickly. To each their own, I guess. I picked up Civ5 yesterday. It is phenomenal. I don't know how they keep managing to improve what is already a fantastic game.

Played Lord of the Rings Online a bit. I absolutely love the new area, it is really nice looking and has some great new creatures and characters. I also bought an outfit that makes me look like Indiana Jones via the new Turbine in-game store. I have a ton of points since I have been playing forever, over 3,000 right now.

I'm sorry that happened to you Calax. I agree that the dad should not have gone over in his uniform. How about we meet there and call a truce.

This is why I'm having trouble with your posts. He didn't murder the kid. He didn't even rough him up. He used words and a pair of handcuffs. It crossed a line, but we are disagreeing with how far over that line he went. I say it deserves a reprimand, you seem to disagree with that vehemently. We can't fire people every time they mess up or lose their cool. If he has no history of abuse on his record, then I just don't see how he deserves to have his career taken away over this.

I get that kids disobey parents. I'm saying he should expect consequences when he gets caught. I think I've made it pretty clear what I think of the kid's point of view. He did something wrong and he got a lecture for it. He was scared, which seems about right. This is the main problem here, he didn't communicate well with the parents. It is a bit sad that they could not see this for what it was, an angry father with no real legal recourse. This is the main reason he deserves a reprimand. I don't get the relevance here. Does the officer have a history of losing his cool with people he pulls over? I'm pretty sure you are wrong. My wife and I, Di, and a few other folks I've talked to all understand why an angry dad would go off on the boy. Of course he could have handled it better. You keep saying I'm only looking at it from one viewpoint, but have you really taken the time to look at it from the father's viewpoint?

I better call my mom and let her know she can stop worrying, I've reached the age cut off.

And yet you still get to stress and worry about them as much as you did while they were growing up.

You don't stop being a parent when your children grow up. And thanks Krookie, that made me feel better.

Are you really comparing baby sitting to parenting? Depends on the length of the babysitting... I mean you're basically parenting if you babysit kids while their parents spend a week on vacation. I used to substitute teach, sometimes for a week or two at a time. It is a world of difference compared to teaching for an entire school year. Parenting is not a week long gig. Calax, your last few posts have basically been you lecturing me on how to be a parent. What gives?

Are you really comparing baby sitting to parenting?

Uh, wot? I find it concerning that you are waking up a bunch of times every night to take care of a couple kids if you are not a parent.

I'd like to apologize for the hooligan comment then. It was not meant to be offensive.
