  1. I almost started the game over when I found out my wife had died in Whiterun. Ain't no shame in the game.
  2. The show has me hooked without pulling in a bunch of special guest appearances of Wolverine or Cap. Seeing that they are trying to stand alone is pretty good. And I find Coulson to be an interesting character for him being the main character. I'm usually bored with characters this far into a drama show, but he brings life to it.
  3. Man, do I hate the corporate BS VPs and PR people pump into the void. Blah, blah, blah, and nothing is said. http://marvel.com/news/comics/2014/1/3/21703/lucasfilm_and_marvel_join_forces_to_publish_star_wars_comics 2015 the comics move to Marvel. DH did a great job with the comic series. Marvel, you have a lot to live up to.

      Almost got it. About 700 left when I clicked the paypal button. :(

       

      I got a message that I was right on the edge and that they're trying to get more keys on my bundle page, so maybe I'll get lucky...

      Oh and just re-read your comment Mal. Starbound wasn't BTA. You had to pay 10$ or more.

  5. Fucking March 4th. Damn, I hate waiting. I think Euros have to wait until the 7th.
  6. I'm sure Kansas is racking them up like a champ. I should have clarified what I thought sooner.
  7. Goh, DUIs are a matter of everyone's safety. Possession is just an additional charge to add more revenue to the state.
  8. The NSA has already taken your personal freedoms. Does one more personal freedom for the price of public safety matter?
  9. And that will also bring in revenue to those states. Kind of a win-win for all states!
  10. I think the answer is the fact it was HP laptop. Those things have not been good with hard drives. I remember one particular model we got through work had about a 75% failure rate. I went through 3 of them in 2 months. Just some observation.
  11. OK didn't, from what I saw. A lot of states did, though. To me, that makes it more confusing and just adds more bureaucracy to the mix, increasing the costs of overhead to taxpayers and the insured.
  12. Man, is Obamacare not looking good. First, I've heard that between 1.1 million (source SF newspaper) and 4 million (source AP) had been dropped by their insurance companies due to the ACA this year. When contrasting that with the 2 million people estimated that signed up for ACA coverage, the net is not a positive number. Second, of those that have signed up, only a small percentage of those people have paid their premiums. This means only a small number of people are covered of the 2 million persons estimate (on the high side 300,000 people covered). Third, think of the signups in terms of sales of a console. First, you have a big wave of people signing up for a console/health coverage. You get your first million consoles sold. Then, the numbers start to slowly decline. So, it's important to start strong out of the gate. Since this didn't happen this year, as they only reached about 60% of their goal for signups, 2014 is expected to have less signups? Fourth, of those who will get affordable insurance, there are some catches that have not been outlined. Deductibles is the most hidden, I guess you would say. Deductibles are what you have to pay out of pocket before you insurance kicks in to cover the rest of your costs. For me, with a wonderful health plan through her work, our deductible is super low. But, her employer pays a lot. For those without such luxuries, deductibles on some plans are HUGE. I put in some fake data on the HealthCare.gov website, just to see for myself. The deductible for 2 people, age 35 (the default that appeared), in Oklahoma, making 35k per year, on the Bronze package, were ranging from $3,750 to $6,300 per person per year. The insurance payments estimate was $267 per month. Mind you, this was something I just tried once, so their may be there are better options to choose from, but not from what I heard reported from the news. This isn't really affordable healthcare. Fifth, there is something called an EPO. An EPO is an Exclusive Provider Organization. Meaning, you do not have a choice of what doctor you go see. You will only use the doctors we tell you, unless it's a visit to the ER. Don't get sick away from your EPO provider. Now, the pundits are too nitpicky for me to even bother anymore. They keep going on about the website and the fact no one has their insurance cards yet, which are things that won't affect the ACA in the long run. And the Dems are acting as positive as they can about anything, 'We have a 30% approval rating on our website! That's more than zero!!', but, again, they aren't looking at the long run. Have a nice day. And don't get sick.
  13. Wanderlust. This movie is full of laughs, but there was something that really made me not love this movie. Then, later in the movie, it dawned on me. Paul Rudd. I remember the other movies I've seen him in. I don't like him at all. He brought down the movie that had some great comedic talent in it (people from The State, Jordan Peele, other people I recognize). Too bad Paul Rudd brings down everything he stars in, or I would actually have liked seeing this movie. On that note, they also do a good job at keeping Jennifer Aniston from getting to annoying levels. Kudos to that, as well.
  14. No. But I thought I saw that Fallout New Vegas was the GOTY edition, as well.
  15. Ubisoft is having some sales on right now (for UPlay). $5 notables: New Vegas Fallout GOTY Batman AA GOTY AC2 Deluxe Ed. AC Bro @ $2.50 a lot of Prince of Persia games & also Call of Juarez: BinB And a bunch of Tom Clancy novels come to life, as well. EDIT: And I believe using coupon code 10thanks will get you an additional 10% off.
  16. Welcome to our humble abode. I'm a 1D fan, though a little embarrassed by it. So, we probably won't have many conversations about the Story of my life.
  17. The new pope has really been making waves amongst the church and been a lot more inviting to the people. This article is a nice read, though not all inclusive of the positive changes he has done. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/26/pope-francis-britain-catholics I'm not catholic, but I like this pope.
  18. So, my campaign was so effective, so dominant in it's stance, that my shear will has changed the past, doing what no other scientist has dared to conquer. Chewie is now in chat. Damn, I am good!
  19. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the moderators of the PXOD entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the relieve an end user of his banishment from the chat room. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all bears are created equal, with the exception of koala bears, that they are endowed by their host with certain alienable entitlements that should include access to the Chat feature of this site. That to secure these entitlements, Moderators are instituted among users, deriving their just powers from the host site, That whenever any Form of site becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Entitlement of the Users to post a good reason as to why we should allow bulls into china shops and bears into the chatroom. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that sites long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evil users are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms we must fill out at the DMV. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations by the end users, pursuing invariably the same mean attitude towards koala bears, because they eat and shit too fucking much, it is their right, it is their duty, to ask kindly for Chewie to have access back to the chatroom. [skip Indictment] [skip Denunciation] We, therefore, the dipshits who like Chewie, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that this bear, be he a black bear, a polar bear, or possibly a wookie, do absolutely nothing, except ask that Chewie be given back the chatroom, which, in turn, he will probably lose, again, in one month’s time, so we, the people of the interwebz, no longer have to hear the cries of suffering from this poor bear. P.S. The Bears suck and shouldn’t even be in the playoffs, but the rest of the teams in that division suck as bad, so they probably will make it.
  20. Woohoo! I still have a job!

      Excuse me while I throw up.

      Not as complicated with existing assets and the talent they have, Mal.

       

      @FDS: It is definitely an acquired taste, to be kind.

      Ah, I know how that goes. Our company was bought out 2 years ago. Things have drastically changed. My department (IT) figures we'll probably only be around for another year before the parent company completely takes over and lets us go.

  21. Johnny Football was robbed! He should have been second in voting.
  22. Wally has been hurt too many times before. He vows to never love again. Until he returns to his home town. From the producers of Steel Magnolias and every Jennifer Aniston movie ever comes the story of two old men who gave up on love. And gave up on seeing a good performance. Gonzo. Waldorf. Statler. And a cast of chickens star in the love story of a lifetime. When Love Lost In Alabama... The Musical.
  23. Newegg has Skylanders Swapforce WiiU bundle for $299. Through their marketplace, you can get it for $219 (not refurbed) from ToysRUs. At ToysRUs site, it's $249. Interesting pricing schemes.

  24. Agree with Atom. Frozen was amazingly good! My wife called it her "most favorite Disney movie ever". And she is a Disney fan.
