What are you playing right now?
Playing Darkest Dungeon. My Man-At-Arms is wearing two magical eye-patches. Not entirely sure how that works, but one negates the negatives of the other leading to a great positive effect on the character. And I guess since the dungeon is dark the fact that he's now effectively blind is ultimately of little consequence.

What's on the idiot box?
Watched Legends of Tomorrow. Spent more time pointing out continuity references to others than paying attention to the story. I think I watched it wrong.

There really isn't any wrong way to make a pizza.1 1Unless you make it with pineapple, naturally.

what? ... what? pineapple is a pizza staple? as popular as pepperoni? not in the usa it ain't. hell, not even in hawaii. where, save other than in small portions o' california, is pineapple a pizza staple? we don't particular like pepperoni, but is no way we would ever suggest that pineapple is "about as popular as pepperoni" when speaking o' pizza toppings. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-popular-pizza-toppings-chart-2013-10 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/12/popular-pizza-toppings_n_4261085.html HA! Good Fun! Hawaiian Pizza is very common in South Africa, and its normally Ham and Pineapple Basically every single Pizza place has it on its menu I dunno, for me pretty much tomato, pepper and olives are about the only fruits that I can take on pizza, and culinarily they usually aren't treated as fruits. Fruits on pizza like pineapple just don't taste right to me, too sweet and wrong textured.

Wowzers dude no way, some fruits absolutely work on Pizza like Avo, Pineapple or Banana. Those just add to the overall taste experience No. Just no. Also - no.

Fruit as a topping and pizza doesn't go together, IMO. That said, I like burritos with and without rice, can't say that I've ever been all that sussed about the rice. That said I'd argue that beans are perfectly okay as insides; my understanding is that the initial burrito fillings were typically meat and refried beans.

Fallout 4...
Or it could have been that way had someone thought to flesh out the quest a bit. This one sentence sums up pretty much every quest/plot point in Fallout 4. To be honest, more than once playing Fallout 4 I wondered if the production had been rushed on it. So many ideas but much of it is underdeveloped.

^Is there no way to demonstrate competency in some/all of the courses without taking the course work through some form of "Prior Learning Assessment"?

Let's hope that was his first and last one then! You can tell him a dude on the interwebz wishes him best of luck. Indeed, best of luck and hope for no more; hopefully also not any hidden / unseen as yet problems arising from it.

Fallout 4...
Or he really wasn't in there for 200 years. If it was up to me, the ghoul kid and family would have been working with the raiders to prey on the gullible. Some sucker would free the kid and not knowing nothin' about ghouls would buy the story about the kid being in the fridge and reuniting with the family and all, the kid would lead the sucker to the raiders and make sure they got killed and everyone would split the profit. Only the ghoul family decided to flip the script because they were tired of being under the heel of the raiders. So they got the kid to lead the toughest looking suckers home instead of directly to the raiders - always plausible deniability about how the sucker didn't follow the exact script until someone comes along who can actually take out the raiders. Once that's done the ghoul family is free and the sucker is none the wiser. Or it could have been that way had someone thought to flesh out the quest a bit.

Which games would you like Obsidian to develop the most?
No.... gods no! Please tell me this was intended as humour, that I have failed to read the sarcasm intended. The wasn't enough? With something like that, you can never ever have enough smilies to show you're joking! My heart attack has stopped now, thank you! Sorry for the trauma!

PLEASE make a Fallout 4 1/2
Even with my problems with FO4, I thought it worth the money I paid for it. So what? I did and I feel cheated. Next time I am going to look for some reviews before buying. So I was responding to Chilloutman's implication that having problems with a game means that person didn't like the game and/or felt cheated out of the money they paid to Bethesda by providing a counter example to that sweeping generalization in myself. EDIT: Incorrect negative, bad sentence structure

Played Renowned Explorers over the weekend. Also some Dungeon Siege III.

What's on the idiot box?
I haven't watched Heroes since the end of the first season. Didn't see any reason to return on the reboot but I hoped it'd be good for the people who had liked the show.

Its not splitting hairs, its using the correct terminology to refer to the correct thing correctly. I Am Legend isn't a remake of Omega Man anymore than Omega Man was a remake of The Last Man on Earth. All three are different adaptions of the novel (with differing levels of fidelity to the source). Nosferatu (1922) and Dracula (1931) are both adaptions of the Bram Stoker novel (the 1931 movie via the Hamilton Deane stage play), but Dracula (1931) isn't a remake of Nosferatu. However the Werner Herzog 1979 Nosferatu with Klaus Kinski is a remake of the 1922 Nosferatu but the 1979 Dracula with Frank Langella is a new adaption of the stage play that 1931 Dracula was an adaption of so it is neither a remake of either the 1922 and 1979 Nosferatu films or of the 1931 Dracula. Based on your argument - that anything that adapts the same material is a remake - The Dark Knight is a remake of Batman (1989) which is a remake of Batman (1966) which is a remake of Batman (1943) despite having little in common other than the fact they're adapting the same character from other media. not to put too fine a point on it, but what in the hell are you doing? is a category that the razzies folks is utilizing. am suspecting that the razzie folks would laugh themselves apoplectic if the "winners" o' one o' their awards argued with any seriousness that the reason their movie/performance did not deserve mention were 'cause o' mislabeling. and yeah, is a category that will indeed have fuzzy gray areas 'cause it is meant to limit an artform. is a category no doubt imagined into existence by folks whose closest brush with scientific method were listening to a bunch o' nerds discuss the plausibility o' lightsabers during their time at usc film school. and most pointless and ill-considered is that you is arguing with vol in an attempt to get him to see the validity o' the categorization in question. find self arguing serious with vol over what is largely nonsense has happened to us once or twice and is always embarrassing. *shrug* HA! Good Fun! Eh...I even mentioned in my first post that strict adherence to the categories really wasn't the Razzie's intention. Vol then disagreed with me, so I disagreed back with some logic. Nothing really to see here.

Pictures of your Games Episode VII The Screenshot Awakens
And out of the haze, I teleport to a tall building to stop the Brotherhood from getting Nuclear reactor parts. Note to Self: If I was playing a video game, I'd almost think I'm nearing the end of the game. Too bad real life doesn't work like that. Later, I jet packed around. Note to Self: Because nothing says "don't tread on me" like jet packing around in the wasteland Aww, who's a nice mutated deer? Note to Self: Wash hands afterwards, look like they got a mutant strain of mange. Brotherhood of Steel patrol off in the distance Note to Self: Kinda creepy if you didn't know what it was. Went for a swim. Explosions happened. Note to Self: I think these two things weren't related. Someone isn't a history buff or an art lover. Note to Self: I suspect Supermutants. Or Raiders. Probably not Feral Ghouls - not they care about art, they just don't care. I don't think I want any milk after all Note to Self: Makes you wonder how many hits of Jet was needed for "Yeah I'll take these severed heads and put them in our refrigerator" to sound like a good idea... And another one down, and another one down, another Turret bites the Dust Note to Self: Are you ready? Hey are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat? Ballistic weave - now putting fashion into your wasteland protection. Note to Self: Still no real lady's hats. This wasteland sucks. Ballistic weave clothing in action Note to Self: Soooo much more comfortable than that vault suit. Raider Survivalist? What a Misnomer Note to self: More like "Raider Explodiest" am I right? Apparently he was a Van Gough fan by his starry night exit Note to Self: I wonder if any Van Gough's survived the war? Curie models a new top-of the line ballistic weave dress; for when you want to fight and for when you want to...not fight. Note to Self: Should look for me one of these...
