I have no idea what the deal is, but I just could not understand how to control the dumb thing.
-
It was just a baffling sequence because the carriage did not control the way any sane person would expect it to. It was like my inputs had a very attenuated relationship to whatever was going on on-screen and it fucking infuriated me. I must have, in total, spent three hours on that sequence and I never even passed it so fuck carriages in AC games and the horses they, uh, were pulled into town behind.
-
Good. It's past time for last gen consoles, like the 360 and Wii U, to be retired.
-
Carriages?!?!?!? I was never able to get past the goddamned carriage sequence at the beginning of Revelations because the damned thing handled like a beached whale. So fuck you, AC:Syndicate, and no buy unless the carriage driving is vastly improved.

You're Next was an okay movie, but a fantastic deconstruction of horror genre tropes. As someone who thinks most horrow movies are bad but who love to see how filmmakers play with the trappings of the genre, I loved You're Next.

Started playthrough of Witcher 2 in anticipation of Witcher 3. Runs great on my laptop with everything except uber sampling maxed. Just started Chapter 1, and I am not sure what choices I'll make.

I'm comfortably upper middle class, but since I'm a lawyer who works in areas of law that are frequently subject legislative/regulatory changes, who's in power can greatly affect my career prospects. I also live in a city and state whose actions affect me noticeably, from raising the fare on the subway, to shutting down the hospital where my doctors work, to granting insurance companies the right to raise rates 50% year over year, to allowing a bar across to street to stay open after midnight, significantly increasing noise while I'm trying to sleep.

Swamp is after you get to the city. The first area is the farmland. The swamp area is much, erm, swampier than the farmland, despite farmland's general swampiness. Trust me.

It's called growing up, son.
-
The fact that my i5-2400k at 3.2 ghz is below minimum for Witcher 3 suggests that CPU are at times important.
-
I still have never passed the swamp area in Witcher 1 and I neither feel bad about it nor do I plan to ever try the game again. I've played through to that area so many times that it's a chore getting back.

Eh, good riddance to the NHS. You guys will enjoy private insurance. Well, those of you who work for huge companies or are otherwise wealthy, at least. The Tories think the rest of you can just go fuck yourselves, IIRC.

William Hurt reprises his role as General Ross? That's kinda cool, even though the Hulk film was not very good at all. I think it makes sense for Civil War to be Avengers 2.5 and I'm glad for it.
-
Batman is another good example. And your lack of appreciation for early F&F movies is disturbing, but not as disturbing as your lack of appreciation in the pivotal Fast Five. Edit: lolwut. Batman Forever is as bad as Phantom Menace.
-
Witcher 1 used the Aurora Engine.
-
There were three bad F&F movies in a row? Even if there were, the last few have been good (for F&F movies), so any excitement is justified. James Bond is the series that comes to mind for me, actually. Not as much excitement as for Star Wars or F&F, though.

Game of Thrones (Current episode spoilers)

That's so bizarre to me. In New York, you can serve registered companies by going to the secretary of state and you can personally serve individuals if you're a licensed process server, most of whom are *not* ex-cops, though private investigators who are ex-cops also often offer service, uh, services. We have a couple of in-house process servers who are students or artists and just need a side job to pay bills and rent. I can't imagine service by sheriff working in New York, or any populous state, at all. Attorneys can also serve process, but I've only ever done it myself when we've invited a client for a meeting and served them with a an order to show cause for us to be relieved as counsel. Edit: I hope the judge's order/decision in this crazy lady's case is also reported, because I'd love to see how the court responds.

Ooh, tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the financial quarter: Nintendo will announce just how much more fucked it is than it was three months and a year ago! http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/05/05/nintendo-earnings-what-to-watch-6/

Apparently they actually turned a 41bn yen profit? Color me surprised...
That's, what, like $3.50 in real money, right?
-
$350 million, about half of that due to a weak yen and the other half due to Nintendo diversifying their business into pointless and overpriced plastic crap that manchildren love. But good on Nintendo for finding ways to increase shareholder value!

Hey! As an owner of several Amiibos... I really can't argue with that characterization.

I hope an ambitious clerk is assigned to write the sua sponte dismissal order and really goes to town on the complaint. But, realistically, it will probably just languish in the docket until a clerk notices no service has been made and no motion for service by publication has been made and thus orders the plaintiff to show cause why it shouldn't be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Side question for Ethan: civil summonses in Wild West states like Nebraska and Kansas still require that personal service be made by a sheriff or other agent of the state, right? You can't just use a licensed process server?
-
It could also be dismissed on personal jurisdiction grounds because she didn't serve it on anyone. That's a threshold issue even before standing. Additionally, because she is seeking a declaratory judgment, she must also articulate an additional substantive cause of action under another theory because standalone declaratory judgment actions are not allowed under 28 USC 2201.This prohibition is related to the "actual case or controversy" requirement for standing. Also, pro se class actions are probably not allowed, even though the pro se doesn't purport to represent the class. Edit: "What exactly would happen if she won this case" is akin to asking "what exactly would happen if a lamed horse won the Indy 500," or "what exactly would happen if the UK populace ends up abolishing the monarchy in tomorrow's election."

It feels like AoU erased the events of IM3, at least insofar as Stark's character development goes. I liked the stuff with the Mandarin and Killian, but I agree that the 'rules' of Exrtremis weren't presented clearly at all. IM2 is legit garbage, though. And Thor 1 is borderline nonsense garbage, too.
-
On an unrelated note, Daredevil is shockingly violent for a Disney TV series.

Avengers 2 was fun, and I liked it more than 1, but I feel like 2 had a bunch of distracting problems. Chief among them is that the movie feels like a lot of dialogue and plot was cut in favor of keeping the fights long. I am convinced the "Thor goes to a pond in a cave" plot line was done in reshoots and that Thor was originally going to do something else more interesting than re experience the vision from Scarlet Witch, which I also think was changed significantly in editing. I also feel like scenes depicting Ultron's reason for wanting to blow up the planet and scenes dealing with Hill and Fury getting non-Hydra SHIELD folks back together to fly the helicarrier were cut. I eagerly await seeing the New Avengers, along with (presumably) Ant-Man and Black Panther (and Danvers's Captain Marvel?), eventually, in action.

Yup. I have $1.50 that expires in June. Fuck Microsoft.
