I realize the past few seasons (since Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph left) have been pretty bad, I was just commenting that if he hasn't seen it enough to recognize one of the main cast members, then he probably isn't in a good position to say it is awful. But I guess watching skits doesn't necessarily mean you know…

Yea, it was. SNL in the last decade has definitely been ruled by the womens.

Yes, they do. Probably because they remember all of the great skits from 5-10 years ago and forget about the terrible ones. Then when they watch a few episodes of the current cast, they notice the terrible skits a lot more.

If you don't know who Abby Elliott is then how do you know it is awful? I swear everyone bashes SNL because it's what the cool kids do.

Kristen Wiig was nominated for an Oscar, so she might be aiming even higher than her own show. Either way, she has a bright future writing and acting (as much as Fey and Poehler.)

Just like when she opens by saying it was "miraculous" that they walked away. No bitch, that's science!

From the RPS article, when creating a contract you are basically free to do whatever you want in a map, then once you kill whoever you want to kill, a contract is created based on what you did. So the maps are the same, and you have to be able to pull off the hit in order to create it.

I haven't played ME3 yet either, but that's more because I was in a weird transition from console back to the wonderful world of PC gaming. So I felt I needed to play 3 with my Shep from 1 and 2, but didn't feel like breaking the xbox back out. Also been too lazy to transfer the save game to PC.

Pretty sure most of the approach is automatic, but the last bit is on the pilots. But that is solely based on my experience with Flight Simulator X.

If he can't beat 'em...

But if you look at the gap between, say, BF3 on console and BF3 on PC, it's clear that it's time for the consoles to catch up to PC with an upgrade.

I believe 9/9/99 was also the date of the MTV movie awards. God, why do I know that?

And it needs to be more than just graphics catching up to whatever the current gen PC is of the time. Something innovative that separates the console from PC gaming in general.

Bryan Cranston as Gordon Freeman.

Well, same idea. Fans picking someone that had a breakout season versus fans picking a proven veteran.

The "curse" is more an artifact of how they pick the cover athlete. When they pick someone that just had a breakout year, there's a pretty good chance they aren't going to repeat that breakout year, and a return to average is seen as a "cursed" season.

Ah, thanks for that explanation. Do you have to be out of combat to revive then?

I haven't seen anything about the beta or gameplay in general, so maybe a dumb question, but what happens when you die in that battle? Is there a respawn timer, or do you just spawn far enough away that it takes a few minutes to get back into the battle?

Oh I wasn't saying it was or wasn't legal in this case, I was just stating that an executive selling stock in a way that may seem suspicious a few months down the road does not necessarily mean he is guilty of insider trading. I'd say the jury is still out on this specific instance, but that's because I haven't…
