Yeah, I would assume it's just doing the usual DRM check (like how you can't use some DLC when you're not online); you fail the check when you don't have Gold, and as soon as you get Gold back, you pass and can play your games.

I guess I should clarify about ZD. I happen to like it a lot, as well. While I wouldn't say there's nothing like it (there are a lot of citra-hopped beers, particularly in Chicago that have similar profiles, although I'll agree if you tell me it's the most balanced of them), it's certainly a great beer. The reason I…

Yup, Ten Fidy is a really good one, for sure. And I'm not knocking Old Rasputin; it was the first stout I ever tried, and one of the first beers to get me into craft beer.

That's really up to your palate, though (as snobby as that sounds). I like Old Rasputin just fine, but definitely prefer a few other Russian Imperial Stouts, and I found the BA Old Rasputin fairly disappointing (and certainly not as tasty as Bourbon County, for example).

I haven't had their collab with Sierra Nevada, but the thing about 3 Floyd's is that you have to ignore the hype and try their stuff on your own. Everyone will tell you Zombie Dust is the greatest thing in the entire universe, and that their beers are in general awesome, and...well, that's either going to be true or…

Yeah, New Glarus is definitely one of the greatest breweries in the US, and their current brewery is friggin' gorgeous.

I don't think Heady Topper is the greatest DIPA (double IPA) in the world, but he's certainly not wrong that it's a completely different type of IPA. And yes, a lot of "beer words" sound pretentious, but unfortunately there isn't always a better way of describing the things going on in a beer.

Not sure I'm worried about the opinion of some random big-mouth on the internet, but other than that, you're certainly amusing to talk to, as everyone else is unsurprisingly noticing.

Clever response. Enjoy the rest of your (clearly drunk) day.

I dunno, that seems like a better use of your time than your misguided yelling "fuck you" to bunch of people on the internet about something you clearly don't understand (craft beer). Drinking to get drunk and drinking something because you like the taste aren't the same thing. I think most people would agree that…

Good one, man. So what's "real" beer taste like, exactly (if it isn't craft)? Miller? You might also be surprised to learn that a LOT of the people who can properly appreciate beer also like a good bourbon/scotch.

Best RPG ever.

He's one of the two biggest stars in soccer, currently, so technically he's one of the biggest/most recognizable stars in the world. If you're from the US (I am), you wouldn't know him from much, except that he was temporarily responsible for breaking Americans' hearts in the World Cup this year.

Yeah I think this is the real issue. As someone who has had knee issues from working out before, keeping them bent for long periods of time really hurts. And I haven't had tendinosis, but I'd imagine that it's probably better for his knee to be stretched out.

I think it's fair to say that Crossfit is at the very least partially responsible for keeping her in shape, but I would imagine her background in gymnastics is by far the most important part of the equation.

Look, I'm only making the same claim as this article (and the source article) because it backs up my love of Squirtle; you don't have to argue the benefits of Bulbasaur to me, because I don't disagree with you. I've used Bulbasaur before as a starter, I just like Squirtle more (in general, not in terms of efficiency).

Well first off, because Squirtle is awesome (and as shown above, science has proven that Squirtle is the king of starting pokemon). Secondly, I wasn't saying that Squirtle was as easy as Bulbasaur, I was just saying that his choice (Charmander) was probably the hardest to start out with.

Now this might be completely wrong (as I don't do Crossfit), but I believe the issue I've heard repeated is that Crossfit not only preaches faster rotation of exercises, but since you're in a group, there's pressure on you to continue even when you shouldn't. You can certainly run into the same issues by yourself at…

Nothing wrong with Charmander, it's just harder in the beginning of the game if your starter isn't water or grass type. Both games are pretty similar, but there are different pokemon that appear in different parts of the game (and some are only available in one version or the other).

I would say VI is the best in the series, but VII gets the most demand for a remake (partially because it was the start of the golden PS era). I'd be just as happy (probably happier) with a good, respectful VI remake, but I think that's a distant second in terms of possibility.
