I know =) I'm just being positive. I'm both a Dr. and lost my father to cancer (after a third relapse no less).

Indeed, this is why I diagnose broken bones via xrays from my home office. I've had my fill of soul crushing family discussions in the waiting room.

To be fair, Obama has "owned" the term and even the white house refers to the ACA as Obamacare now. Which is why it's now called his "signature legislature." But I'm totally on board with your direction here of him attempting to use it as a pejorative.

Actually, "Obamacare" or the ACA is what was put in place to do away with plans such as these. The ACA was designed to put in place regulations to remove plans such as these due to loop holes that leave people uncovered by either disability or medical.

The ACA has fingers pointed at it when people are ignorant of what…

Hell, forblizzard they could look at it as investing in a healthy work community. Or investing in their own future. The guy has experience with their titles, and hiring new people is expensive =)

Actually, after re-reading the situation, it sounds as if the medical care is covered, but his personal expenses are not. As he's not working, he's relying on short and long term disability to cover his personal bills. Evidently, long term disability isn't kicking in quickly enough.

Fair enough, that is indeed the case after re-reading. I was thrown off by the statement by Luke, which in this case has nothing to do with the American medical insurance system, but rather the plan that Mr. Nakada signed up for. (Which is not to berate the guy for a lack of foresight regarding this possibility, who…

I more meant to have a line of tanks shooting over where the building would have previously impeded the shots. Not actually have a tank formation drive through the area where the building was/partially still is.

Make it public enough that PR says it'd be a good thing and they will ;)

Honestly, I'm rather curious as to why he doesn't have medical insurance anymore, as it's now Illegal to refuse coverage to someone with pre-existing conditions, where-as it didn't used to be.

Thanks to "Thanks to the wonders of the American medical and insurance system," this statement, the replies are going to go in a completely different direction than what should be going on.

Yes, but that's not a robot, it's what nightmares are made out of.

Joking aside, there seems to be two schools of robots at the moment. The heavy more industrial looking ones who shuffle around and look like they have an absolute horrible center balance, and those who you REALLY don't want to gain sentience any time…

That's definitely cool, I think that works pretty well. I like the C4 mechanic you mentioned for the purpose of sniping. While I'm not really into modern era shooters, the tech is neat to keep up with. Perhaps I'll take a look at the next game in the series when it comes out. (yea I know BF4 just came out, but I have…

You've pretty much covered it =) I stopped playing the CoD and BF games when it left the WW2 era. I'm simply not into modern era shooters. But the tech is always interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

Makes sense, trying to take out buildings just to do so; especially the New York looking map, would take some extreme effort. But leveling a building for strategic purposes would be pretty cool. Opening a sight line for a tank formation, etc.

Fair enough, I expected some things to still be standing after all. I've been to East Germany and recently Libya, it's not like everything topples over =P

But I was genuinely hoping that if you sat there shelling a concrete building with a tank that you would eventually reduce it to rubble. It's not as if everything…

I appreciate the reply, but could you elaborate? I'm not trying to just rip on BF4, I'm actually curious where we've gotten to in regards tofull destructibility.

So as a non-modern day FPS gamer, does BF4 have true building destructibility? Or are there only predetermined buildings that actually fall down?

To me, when I saw "Level Evolution" and saw a missile hit the top of a building, I figured that all of the debris meant it was going to collapse, yet up it stayed. Then it…

Unfortunately, all you'd need to win is to put your robot in an old fashioned hoop skirt to win. With how most all robots shuffle their feet, or take gigantic overly projected steps, the best defense is just making them tip over.

Indeed. It sounds a lot like couples who get together and one of the two believes they other should give up a hobby they had prior to getting together because it competes for their time.

Everyone needs hobbies, no lasting relationship exists without each person having their own things to do that don't involve the…
