On OSX it does lag a bit at start up. It takes a few seconds to get going and can hang a bit when you opt to open a file vs. start a new document but it's barely an issue at all. But once you're in, you're fine. I've not really noticed too many issues with it though I usually just use it for Writer and light use in…

If that's where Yusei and the gang from Jojo buy their clothes then SIGN ME UP! I want fancy coats with shoulder pads and a bunch of crazy colors.

I used to have to sign off on the receipt to prove I picked up the item which, really, is pretty standard practice. Lately I just give them my phone number/receipt and they hand me the game and new receipt. I think that shift was maybe 2-3 years ago now.

The salon I go to does model calls but they aren't free. Heavily discounted though so it's still good! I even get to see my usual stylist since I generally schedule with the junior ones anyway. I try to go to model calls when I can but it's tough to get a spot on those days- remember that and call as soon as you…

I think there should be the option for both. Sometimes save points in games where you can save anywhere aren't necessarily there for you to use but as a reminder that you should save. I find that if a game doesn't have save points I tend to forget and have to rely on an autosave from before something important or an…

I'm kinda excited. Yeah I thought Fairy was kind of silly since they've had years to add it when it made sense (ie Gen II) but whatever. The Mega thing seems interesting and is clearly 100% optional (of course Angry Internet Commenters hate things that are optional). Though if the Super Training is pretty cool. A…

Me too... But then again, on TBS they can say "shit" and do weirder stuff that the big networks can't/won't allow so it's a slight bit of a boon.

I hate exercise but I try to walk 1.5-2 miles every day (and I also suffer from depression so I know how hard it is to be motivated). But what I find works is to start small. Just walk for maybe ten minutes, then after a few days up it to 15, etc. The other thing I do is separate the walks. I do one mile in the…

Oh, of course! I meant the third parties more. They've had a chance to shine before Nintendo bombarded us with the first party stuff but the third parties just sort of whined and complained instead of finding creative ways to work with the system. So now Nintendo will sell based on their stuff and the third parties…

Plus, if they were creating new, and most importantly, FUN, games just for the WiiU then maybe, just maybe, those hardware sales would rise. It's hard to justify buying a console if the publishers are outright refusing to develop for it. They're kind of forgetting it's them that ultimately are going to get the…

Excuse me, I'm going to go pee my pants from excitement now.

I was at some of the Bioware panels at GaymerX this past weekend and one thing that stuck out to me is that, all the negative that we see online sometimes isn't the majority. The majority is the neutral crowd who play the game, have fun (or not sometimes), and move on. But the people crying the loudest and saying…

I agree with you that people want what they already had so when an experiment maybe doesn't go as well as they'd hope (not counting the money grabbing mobile games), people immediately start the vitriol that the game isn't the same game they already played.

It was a complex situation, for sure. Good teachers often had just as many reviews because people liked them so much that they had to tell others. Bad teachers (or at least bad reviews) were dominant in a lot of general ed classes I noticed. Middle-of-the-road teachers did have the fewest reviews but were usually…

It was also very easy to see who was a slacker who was whining and who was legit. If a professor had mostly good reviews but a small handful of people complained that they couldn't do extra credit/the class had too much reading/the tests were too hard without having gone to class/etc. you know those aren't reliable. …

It's a toughie because I want to say my 12th grade AP English teacher but my 11th Grade AP English teacher was also good. They were married so that had something to do with it. Either way, they were some of the few teachers at my high school who actually cared. They forced us to actually apply ourselves and to keep…

A valuable tool in college if you were smart enough to parse out the real reviews from the slackers.

I think Mike Brown runs the company I work for. If not, he must have given our GM a lecture on how to run a business in the worst possible way.

Like how right now in the East Bay you could swear it was November but the calendar says August.

What about when your meager PTO is just taken from you? To quote our holiday list:
