I might re-read these some day. I think I lost interest somewhere around book 8. I'll probably wait until they are all out though.

Steve Jobs pays for himself and quite a bit more, but I never understood how companies with huge losses justify million dollar salaries. THe CEO should make janitor pay until the company gets out of the red.

I don't entirely get the poll. Yeah, I'm a procrastinator, but like Enoch I almost always find a way to be successful in the end. Could I do better if I was less lazy? Probably, but I also would probably be more stressed out. The bigger concern is whether I can turn it on when needed, and sometimes I worry that I can't, but then when I'm up against the clock I usually manage to impress myself.

A couple nights ago I fixed the garage door on my rental unit. A wheel had come off the track, and the bolt that attached it was warped. I found a new one at a hardware store and manage to get it back in place. I felt pretty manly, and the $3.50 for a new bolt and wheel was much better than whatever a repair guy would have charged me.

I'm thinking about picking up the original game, as I never played it. Is that a good idea, or does it not matter for the sequel?

I'm really not a big fan of the Taliban. In fact I've pretty much despised them ever since I read this article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/science/archa...han-buddhas.htm

That story about the gophers almost sounds like a joke, with the comments about guts flying.

Well they did address it, I asked Fawkes and he gave me some line about my destiny. Sure it was dumb, but it was addressed at least.

Very nice, the original was removed so here is a new link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxDMnT0UYLc

I see the appeal though, not everybody is into playing with technology, and macs are geared towards simplicity in almost every aspect. Even their software like iMovie is easy to use, whereas you have more options on the PC but they all have a steeper learning curve.

I really enjoyed Silent Storm's battles. I wouldn't call it an RPG though. I even liked Hammer and Sickle.

I've heard people had problems with the email functionality on the iPhone, but maybe that was just at launch. For me, that is the most important aspect of the Blackberry.

A few years ago I was debt free, but then I bought a house and had a kid and got greedy. But hopefully I'll get back to being debt free again soon. I just have one card, but it's max-ed out. I'd really like to get to the point where I don't have to finance my car. Those monthly payments are definitely a pain.

I prefer the Blackberry to the iPhone, myself.

I'm not a fan of macs or apple products, but I'm happy to see a big company succeeding considering the current economic climate. It is good for everybody, really.

I pay very little attention to stats in single player RPG's. If you really are concerned with min/maxing and all that junk, go play MMO's where the entire game is designed around it.

I'm like a one man army in Saints Row 2.

I'm interested in hearing more, for sure.

Are you two just making stuff up? How does that make the game less successful?

I believe the point is partly that PC games are notoriously buggy and unstable, whereas console games are rarely as such. Although it does seem like console games are getting buggier over the last couple years.

I agree with all those. There is definitely room for development leagues in football, it seems like Canada and Europe have done well enough. I guess time will tell.

You seem very upset about this. I'll try to read more carefully, my apologies. How many Bethesda titles have you played, anyways?

I just think if you are going to offer an easy option, then you probably should be able to play through the game with a minimal amount of skill. I have no problem with the hard difficulty being restrictive in its audience. And I doubt Bioware spent ten years or whatever on this title to only capture a hardcore audience. They are definitely going for mass appeal.

Does Sacramento have a Stadium? I'm guessing it comes down to costs and market research. But it will still probably collapse. XFL part two!

well i don't have work tomorrow, so the plan was to have a biiiiig sleep in but now i've got someone staying over tonight, if you know what i mean So your parents are in town? That's nice of you to offer your place.
