The official E3 2010 thread of waggle
Final Fantasy should do well, it is an established MMO. It looks pretty good, I'll probably even give it a try.

What you did today
You know, with all the pictures you've posted, I've always wondered where you lived. Seems really nice. That would be the Northern California Bay Area for you. There is just a ton to see, an amazing variety of locales. I believe LadyCrimson lives somewhere near Marin (although I might be wrong) which is a wonderful area just across the Golden Gate Bridge. I take my family out there about once a year, and we ride the ferry across to San Francisco city. From there we can visit Alcatraz, Angel Island, Fisherman's Wharf...we somehow manage to discover something new every time we go.

2010 FIFA World Cup
Nice comeback by the US, still a bit of time to play.

What are you playing now
You are totally going to need something in college. It's almost as important as books. I took my N64 to college, and in the dorms we had huge Goldeneye competitions on the communal TV.

New XCOM game
The Terror missions is TFTD were way tough. Total battle of attrition, I used to get below decks after losing half my squad and just barely eke out a win.

NHL
I could understand it if he got more than two prospects. Maybe one of them is supposed to be great. Definitely an odd choice.

A sad announcement
Don't think werewolves would be canon for the Fallout universe. That made me smile. Perhaps they can add a quest giver named Killian who sends you into an impossible to win situation against a large wolf.

What you did today
We brought Logan home yesterday. He's still a bit yellowish and we need to keep getting tests, but it is a huge relief to have him at home and not spend 14 hours at the hospital every day. My 3-year old daughter ranges from being a total sweetheart to a total monster right now, but she is pretty excited to see him.

Congratulations Gfted1
He wasn't a mod already? A great choice, congrats!

STEAM!
I will say that the most recent overhaul of Steam has made a huge difference for me and my slow connection. It is way more stable and runs a lot smoother than before.

A sad announcement
I really loved Hades/Killian/Michael, he was a great guy. He was down to earth and quirky. I know I disagreed with him a few times, but he always kept it from getting too serious with a quick line of levity and humbleness. I hope he finds peace. I also really hope this is just an ugly joke, because the forums will be a good deal more empty without his presence.

Ego boost for today
After reading about Killian, I decided to edit this and not argue with Volourn for the time being. I'm very sad about the loss of a friend and fellow Obsidianite, and it just makes Volourn's argumentative posts even more disheartening. Life is short, no need to waste it not being friendly.

I'm not sure why they would lie about a confession. The defense isn't saying there is no confession, they are saying it is inadmissible in court. The guy doesn't really have a stellar track record, but feel free to jump in his corner and be weird.

Ego boost for today
Authorities in Peru say he confessed to killing Stephany Flores there, AFAIK. His attorneys are now trying to dispute the confession. Hard to imagine this guy not being guilty as sin.

Logan is hopefully going to come home with us Monday or Tuesday. Everything has been improving steadily over the last few days, and he is eating, pooping and peeing quite well. He had a bit of a case of jaundice, so they've been giving him a UV treatment. We've been spending about 14 hours a day at the hospital, so I'm itching to get him home.

Movies you have seen recently
Well that looks fantastic. Little odd to see Adrian Brody in an action role, but I think he will make it work. Definitely looks like it will destroy the AvP movies.

Alpha Protofail.
Wait...you start your complaint by saying the game is near unplayable on your computer? That may be the root of your game play issues. Seriously, your complaints have nothing to do with the game and everything to do with how it runs on your PC. That is the peril of playing PC games.

White Gold
We could tell you, but an internet search would be much more awesome.

New XCOM game
I'm pretty sure they were going for a slight 50's TV show feel with the trailer. But I don't remember the graphics being a problem in Bioshock either.

What you did today
I don't know what disturbs me more... The fact that middle school students had to get their wangs operated on, or the fact that they shared the precise nature of their wang-related ailment with their teacher. Also, best of luck with the boy, Hurl. There are a few various health reasons to remove the foreskin. The risk of an infection is low, but we decided it was best to go with it. It is fairly common in the States. The parents are the ones that keeps sharing that information. They send me an email asking for homework because there child will be out a few days. I know, I'm a bit surprised they disclose that, but it has happened twice and my wife has had it happen once as well.

Think Twice?
I'm actually an alfalfa sprout grower, and I thought it was the new software on the best growing methods and how to handle alfalfa emergencies. Imagine my surprise!

What you did today
Actually I've had a few students that have gotten infections in Middle School and had to have the foreskin removed then. That seems more traumatic, so we opted to do it now.

What you did today
I'm a bit worried. Last night my newborn son wasn't getting a high enough glucose level, so they took him to the Newborn ICU and had him use an IV. His glucose level stabilized, but they still want to observe him. They are feeding him formula, which he had a little trouble keeping down. But between the IV and the formula, he isn't really into breastfeeding, and so they want to keep him in the NICU for observation. They are also concerned he might have an infection, so they are running tests and already gave him some antibiotics. To be honest, he looks like he's doing fine though. His color is great, he is looking around a lot, and his temperature and other vitals are good. They just won't let him come back to the room yet and he's got all these dang wires attached right now. Hopefully the tests will work out right and he will be able to come home with us by Saturday or earlier. He gets his circumcision tomorrow too, and he peed on me earlier, this boy stuff is a bit of a change form a girl.

New XCOM game
I think it looks great. I'm a huge fan of the originals and I still hope for a TB strategy game some day, but this looks like a very promising FPS with a neat setting. I admit the black goo looks a bit odd, but hopefully they will also have the more traditional aliens to blast.
