I like Game of Life. Monopoly just takes too damn long.

Oh man I want that Civ game, but I doubt I could ever find anyone to play it with me.

I still buy retail for bigger purchases because I don't trust my DD purchases to not just vanish into the ether some day, but it's definitely more convenient to buy DD.

Short version is the health care law passed a couple years ago included a provision referred to as the "individual mandate" which requires everyone to buy health insurance (exceptions made for those who can't afford to, etc etc), the idea being that if you force everyone to buy it then young healthy people who don't normally do so will be added to the insurance companies' groups, lessening the overall risk, which would allow them to lower costs. It was challenged on the basis that the government doesn't have the authority to compel a private citizen to buy a product from another private citizen, but was upheld on the theory that it's a de facto tax and the government does have the authority to tax. Way over simplified, but there you go. *Edit* - Correct, there's actually a tax penalty for not buying insurance. So the court basically said that the government can't force you to buy a product, but they can tax you if you don't. It's an extremely technical legal argument, and it still seems like splitting hairs to me, but I no longer think the decision was wrong per se...

I'm actually torn on the issue. I like what the law does, but I don't agree with the court's reasoning, and I think it probably should have been ruled unconstitutional.

I'd argue on PC it's already more convenient than retail. Except if you have slow speeds and caps, but that's an issue with your ISP. I have uncapped cable and can pull about 30 Mb/s, or about 3.5 MB/s, and it's only $53/month.

lmao

Individual mandate survives. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/28/how-will-supreme-court-rule-on-health-care-law/

I think the problem is

Yeah, I actually wish that

I chose

Yeah, I talked to him a lot, I just was blanking on his name for some reason and didn't care to google it.

I did, and I assumed that was directed at me. *Edit* - Actually I tried it on both 360 and PC, and it felt off on both of them.

Yeah, at the very least they could have just had what's his name

*makes a mental note to buy more Oreos I find George Takei quite amusing. Re this administration: Yeah, Obama lost my vote with the 2011 DAA. Though I'd still rather have him that Romney (I at least agree with Obama on a lot of social issues, and don't for one second believe Romney would be any better about the police-state stuff), I cannot in good conscience vote for him.

Yeah, my squad mates

Re "WHEN it happened": exactly. It does, but

I don't even see how that relates to what I wrote...

I didn't have a problem with what happened in the ending ever, I just had a problem with how it was completely not fleshed out. They've fleshed it out now so I'm happy. In fact, where they actually did change events, like it kind of bugged me.

Yeah, I really didn't like the original endings either and I like these a lot. And I can't speak for others, but

I agree that some of the stuff was unnecessary Overall though I think this is a definite improvement.

I got my new keyboard. So far my only problem with it is that the |\ key is above the return key on this one, whereas on my old keyboard it was to the right of right shift, but I'll get used to that. Key presses are also softer, less clicky than the old one, but again I'll get used to it.

What's wrong with X86 in a console?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Well that's gonna depend on how close it is to the British version.
