How has everyone been doing? I was able to connect and play about five hours last night. I woke up about an hour ago and jumped on for a half hour but it just booted from the server. Before yesterday I only got about an hour and a half in between the three other days. How are you guys faring?

Hey man. Yeah, I got your invite. I haven't played much due to life and server issues, but I guess that's most people right? Any idea how I can join your public games? I'm still learning the ropes in terms of UI and I have no idea how to join other people or even find games with open plots. Then again, maybe it's…

I'm not one to rage about video games. Always online DRM sucks, but I'm not going to boycott a game over it. I didn't freak out over the ME3 ending. Etc., etc.

Hey, dude. I just bought it and I've barely played it but I'm down for a nice cooperative game. My Origin is Arctic1987. Send me an invite.

The Super Bowl is in New Jersey.

Shut the hell up and take my money. I will greedily consume anything Mass Effect related because Mass Effect is the shit! Yes, even with the endings as they were.

I'm sorry to hear that about your pup. That's really terrible, but it's great on you that you were committed and loving enough to put up with it for as long as you did. Sadly, as you've come to find out, puppy mills don't much care even about appearances, much less about a solid temperament.

Either this is some good trolling right here, or you're a terrible person.

I do the same thing. If you can't afford to tip, don't go to a restaurant.

I have held her and picked her up since she was 8 weeks old so she's more than used it it. I even hold her belly up like a baby. The snarl is only when she's very tired and napping and doesn't want to be disturbed. I'd say it comes out once every two weeks.

Yeah, my pup gets taken to the dog park all the time! It'll be nearly every day once the weather warms up and we get longer days again. I definitely hope she doesn't become dog-aggressive, but I know it's a breed issue. She was a handful but is calming down now. She is DEFINITELY all personally, as you said. Even…

Pet stores puppies are the worst. They're ALWAYS puppy mill dogs which means they're: usually weird-looking (as in, they are, for example, a golden retriever! Only a kind of weird-looking one since they're bred haphazardly), not properly socialized, hard to house train since they have pooped and peed where they live…

Bahahaha! I read this comment and clicked on it to comment on my Shiba Inu and you basically wrote the same thing! My pup (8 months old) has been incredibly receptive to training. She learns everything in an incredibly short amount of time, but then after that it's a matter of whether or not she feels like doing…

In all fairness, recall is not related to intelligence. Shiba Inus are very, very smart but they have horrible recall and can't ever be off-leash because their prey drive is so strong. They'll bolt after anything.

Wrote my undergrad thesis on it, thank you very much!

This was exactly what I was thinking.

This was my reaction as well. Why is everyone, apparently, friends with their ex's? Seem strange to me. It didn't work out for a reason. Pick yourself up and move on.

Fair enough. I have neither the energy nor the money to go out that damn much.

You made me laugh!

Please let me know how I can get four nights out of my weekends. It would improve my life greatly.
