What you did today
I got on the ice this morning for the first time since my injury. The leg held up, but it still is tender and swollen. Hopefully I can play a game in a couple weeks, today was just a practice.

Books
I picked up a few books yesterday- 1- the new Willie Mays book 2-the second Dragon Age book 3- book 4 of Gail Martin's Summoner series, a solid fantasy read

Movies you have seen recently
Zombieland - fun movie. I felt it lost steam a bit towards the end, but the beginning was fairly brilliant. Definitely a solid zombie experience.

Winter Olympics, eh.
The US basically shut it down after the first period. Finland managed a little pressure, but it would have been very difficult to get more than a few goals with the US playing a defensive game. Now just waiting for the Canada-Slovakia game. I'm rooting for Canada, but hesitantly. I think if we get a US-Canada rematch, it will be much more difficult for the US to pull off another win.

Fallout: New Vegas
I try not to compare video game worlds to real worlds.

Winter Olympics, eh.
I wasn't expecting the US to make it look so easy. I think it's a good confidence builder for the last game. They've had mostly tight games so far, so showing they can put the screws to someone shouldn't hurt. What a difference from the Switzerland game, yeesh.

I didn't dig MotB all that much either, but I think it was more my general apathy for D&D and this setting in particular. I'm just burnt out on it, I played NWN1 and 2 a ton and when I got to MotB it was just a chore to deal with the whole system. Plus I hate D&D after about level 12.

Game Auteurism
That actually sounds a bit dirty.

I don't understand his commitment to that ghastly facial hair.

That Finland-Czech Republic game was intense. It really could have gone either way.

Winter Olympics, eh.
Woohoo, USA beat Switzerland. Hiller made it a very close game, but a win is a win. One more to get to the medal.

Wow. Microsoft really dropping the ball with Windows Phone 7
Got the droid, so far it's really slick. I have a lot to learn, it is my first smartphone. I love the GPS device, that alone was worth a good chunk of the price.

What you did today
Kor, you don't have to answer this, but how are her kids taking it? That would be the hardest part for myself, although I confess I'd probably feel a bit of relief too. Hey, this means you can play more video games! Now I feel bad about tossing my 360.

Winter Olympics, eh.
I don't know why you are arguing it with Volourn. I'm pretty sure he's never played a game or received coaching in his life in the sport, so he's just an armchair general spouting off. Let's get back to the Olympics. Canada killed Germany, which was no surprise. The Russia-Canada game should be a great show, but I think Canada should take it unless Nabokov plays super hot.

Wait a sec Boo, you put 40 hours or so into the game and you don't consider it worth your money? I think you place too little value on your time. Personally if a game keeps me interested for more than a few hours, I consider it worth the price.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread on Obsidian
I actually spent the entire game thinking Miranda arranged the whole initial robot intro thing. She pulled the trigger on that doctor guy pretty quick. It makes sense that she wanted to test Sheppard. She didn't strike me as the type to have a problem sacrificing the entire team for a training exercise.

Loghain faced some pretty huge odds in the DA book and still charged ahead, so if they are maintaining the character, it doesn't fit that he just withdrew strategically. I think the King boinking an Orlais chick is a much bigger motivator, as Loghain had very good reason to hate all Orlesians.

Winter Olympics, eh.
He's out there killing penalties and scoring big goals. Sorry he's been a bust for NY, but he wasn't a bust for Colorado, Buffalo, or the US Olympic team. I think I remember he also had a memorable college career as well. It seems like you are more upset that he's making a huge salary, which I agree is too much for his production. But I would think that would be more an issue to take up with the NYR front office. The guy is a solid two-way forward who averages 20-30 goals, I'm not sure how that makes him a loser. He can kill penalties and he's put up solid numbers in the postseason. Can you give us some more specific scenarios that make him such a loser? edit: Geez, I just looked up a bio on Drury. He has a Hobey Baker award, rookie of the year award, a Stanley Cup, a silver medal at the Olympics, and he even won a little league World Series! What a loser!

Well, Shep has a private toilet and shower.. The benefits of command. I didn't notice that private shower and bathroom until well into 30+ of playing!

American politicians attempt to intervene in internal politics of peaceful middle-eastern country.
Yep. Pretty much every court of law agrees with Killian on that point. Intent is a major factor in any criminal case. You could argue that gross negligence can be equal to intent, that might be a stronger stance to take. I'd still place intent in front, but it it a better argument.

Winter Olympics, eh.
Is that how much Drury got? Wow, that is too much. He was always more of a solid 2nd liner in my eyes. He's also more of a playoff guy, I just checked out his stats and his points per game are very solid in the playoffs. Although his NY numbers are abysmal. Ah well, still a huge goal yesterday!

Does anyone know how the save import will be handled for ME3? I've beaten the game, but I can keep going around doing stuff. Will those saves be usable for import?

Actually the prison break was one of the more entertaining quests for myself. It was also fairly non-violent, if you chose to bluff your way through it.

I'm a bit surprised you were comfortable slaughtering a bunch of guards. They were just doing their jobs.
