When this came on, it confirms to me that Adol Christin is a badass.

So, after two days I finally looked some stuff up. Orchids seems to be in the clear since I see a couple in the non-toxic list and none on the toxic list. How well they grow and keep depends on the kind you get and where you live. Vine plants are sort of mixed when it come to toxicity but if anything grows well in pots, it has to be vine plants. Just check the list and maybe as the local animal place. Lastly catnip them everyday. In other news, something chewed off or pulled out one of my potato plants. There was a party here last night so it may have been a drunk dude but it may have been an animal or bug since a person would have killed the entire patch. Since this potato plant was so weak, it don't have any tubers it seems. Kabocha wise, my initial female doesn't seem to be taking off but it doesn't seem to be aborting. The other two are taking off. It is sort of surprising on how fast they can develop. --- Modified my bin since I was getting swarmed by fruit flies. Now I added a nylon screen to the side vents. Now this hopefully will keep them out of the bin. If not, I'm going to get creative. I also change the stands to some super cheap small plastic bins instead of using a cardboard box. Hopefully in a week they'll all clear out.

Just got them since Origin is on a flash sale. Ys games may not be deep but they're fun as hell. I expect these two to be the same. The first 2-3 games you didn't even have to press to attack since you're such a badass that you run into enemies to dice them up.

Any meaningful upgrades seems to take pretty damn long but yes, you could play for free and get everything. Just going to take a long while.

The Tribes Ascend Starter Pack is actually really good if you're in the game. I'm just not sure if I want to support a pay-to-win model. Also I was like Dan. I was unaware of the 8 hour thing so the SR3 sale just pass me by without me even knowing about it.

Since the Ouya is Android based, couldn't it potentially work with other Android devices and in ways be like the Wii U? I think the Ouya in its current form, however and whatever it may be, will crash and burn hard but what come out of its ashes might be actually pretty damn cool or even game changing on how we use our TV, smart phones and computers.

I haven't played much for a week since the updates really have been a rough ride but... Dallas 3 should be fine. There's usually doctors on there if you get into trouble. Its also in the middle of the country so everyone connection/ping in NA should be fine there.

Dude you just missed it by a few hours... It was 12 bux 2/3 hours ago... The pack was like $25 or something too. Fuck me. I want SR3... Seriously, I am kind of pissed. Then again, there is always next time during the winter sale.

Myself. Not sure why I quoted it.

Stuff from Amazon are just dropped off. Well, that is how it works for all the time I had gotten stuff from Amazon. And yes, I understand that a Bluray version may never come but I am holding out. This is 2012 damn it! I'll eat Kickstarter pie if I have to to get it!

So apparently GTA V world is going to be enough that planes are actually going to be really reasonable to have flying around from one end of the map to the other. Again, I have a deeply buried wish that Rockstar don't screw up that bad with the PC version.

Grab them while I was cooling off from my bike ride to the Farmer's Market. I'm missing #4 so the guy at the comic shop is going to try to get an order in since I took the last #1 as well. I think Marceline and the Scream Queens just came out this week so time for a wait on that... not to mention waiting for a Bluray Season 1-3 of Adventure Time. The DVD just came out but no word about any Blurays which is totally not math.

So... something like Dragonball GT's final arc happens.

Having been in four states and having lived their edumacation systems... I feel that they're pretty much the same save for regional differences. For example, I don't know much about Californian history and folks from California might not know as much Colonial history as I do. English, math and maybe science are or should be the same. Its really not much of a funding issue. Extra fund sure do help and help a lot in cases but I feel its the adminstration and the teachers that might be the issue. Some people are totally teaching for the wrong reasons or bad mix of reasons. Then there is the emphasis on what to teach. With that said. I feel that, on average, private schools are no better or worst than public schools.

Nope but I found this: http://www.aspca.org/Pet-care/poison-control/plant-list-cats Tons of plants on both side of the list. I know orchids can have a hanging variety but I am not sure how well it'll do indoors. I'll look up more later.

That is the only mission where I lost anybody. Also... sacrifical units.

For California there are the Cal Grants which offers some help but with California in such a financial shitter the amount they give out is pretty low. It helps but its not much. It used to to be able to cover like like 80%-70% for your college education. There are also no grants for when you take summer classes so you'll either pay out of pocket or pay with loans which the federal government does supply. The rest Ethan covered. As for the poor getting a college education. Based on my experience in California, I know you can go to community college and then go the CSU or CU system. It'll be cheaper and if you live with your folks and get fed while you do this, the amount of money you get will easily pay for your community college years. If you save up the surplus and spend wisely (Its hard...) you could have the surplus last for about a 6-12 months at a CU or a CSU school if its not one of the super expensive ones. A transfer student usually gets out in 2-3 years so 6-12 months covered is pretty cool. Just have to play your cards right and don't expect things to fall on your lap.

I know that. That why I used the term "future resistant". Nothing is ever _____-proof. Not even for the PC folks. PC folks only delay getting a whole new PC with upgrades and that what I think Generation Nine or Ten should be doing if the console makers want to have the 8-10 year lifecycle. Generation Eight doesn't seem to be a likely candidate for this since I feel it might be cheaper than the current gen since the format war (Blu-ray v. HD-DVD) is long dead and such. Consoles seem to be getting more and more expensive to develop. So a way to, somewhere down the line, expand its capabilities seems to make sense on a 5 or 10 year cycle. FYI, I follow the train of thought that consoles are becoming increasingly like PCs. Simplified, easy to use PCs/entertainment systems. So if they do expansions, they're pretty much making a slave system to boost the main console in a form that pretty much just snaps right in. Of course the console manufacturers can just go back to the 5-6 year cycle or go crazy like Nintendo and their DS family of handhelds to keep up with the ever increasing speed of technology.

I just checked the console release dates for the big three throughout their history to freshen up on the history. The average is about 6 years by just looking by the release year before the next one rolls around. It makes me wonder if there was any rumbling like what SE is doing right now about wanting new consoles in the past. I'm leaning no or not really since technology has really ballooned since I and you guys were kids. I don't think most people figured it would be this fast so the folks at Sony and Microsoft figured 10 years would be good. It seemed to make sense. Business wise it make sense. Technology wise, hell no. At this point, I think even 5-6 years is pushing it. (I'm glad I'm a PC gamer mostly now...) I also think that Sony and Microsoft might be sort of trying to "future resistant" their next console... maybe. So it can last 5-6 years without people bitching and bring up a good point like Dean's last paragraph.
