Much more than 210, but these stats are incomplete. First group, those with lower grades who made it in, might be complete or might not be. It doesn’t make any mention of asian applicants for example. The second group, those with higher scores who didn’t get in, is certainly incomplete as it makes no mention of the…

Well actually the point is they are trying to get the rate to go up by blaming it on an unrelated issue.

Only a handful of people would see their taxes go up in this manner though. A subdivision 2 miles from the stadium would be very unlikely to have an assessment increase just because of a new stadium in the county. I’m with you that this whole thing is just plain stupid though.

I’d say Andrew Luck blowing up a USC defender who was on his way to a TD following a fumble by the RB could be one. In the USC player’s defense he was likely off balance from grabbing the ball on the run, but Luck certainly didn’t hesitate and went for a full on tackle instead of the normal I’ll just throw myself in…

Very true. That game had little to actually do with Shadowrun except for some general themes and names on certain things.

Poor FASA, I remember ye well. Battletech and Shadowrun were such a big part of my teen years. Sad to see them just go poof one day. As for future games it is very odd to me who has the rights to do stuff with the material. Shadowrun digital media is owned by Microsoft and print media rights belong to Topps (the…

I'll give you a +1 just for reminding me about Eddie Gaedel. He's the midget that the St. Louis Browns rolled out for a pitch hitter in a random double header game. Not shockingly, he took 4 balls and a got on base. Good times.

Indeed, I looked it up today and their defense is 96th in points given up (and that was before today's stats I think, where they gave up another 40+). I'd expect a good defense to give up yards with a quick scoring offense on the other half of the team, but they aren't stopping people period. The only team they have…

Montana -> Young was a pretty decent deal. You could even throw in Jeff Garcia to some degree. Garcia had to fight pretty hard to get that starting position at the start but he put up some good numbers, made the pro-bowl if I remember correctly.

I've read Without Remorse actually, it was a decent book. I don't think that Clancy was racist, just a lazy writer who bought into the whole nationalism idea a bit too much. The problem is the "bad guys" are an entire country, almost all of whom are painted in a horrible light. America = Good and Just, People…

Totally correct, the russians got a pass later on, after he transferred all his bashing onto the asians (The Bear and the Dragon). He really is just a nationalist at heart, buying into the good guys vs bad guys stuff that military/government organizations promote to the extremes. I quit reading his work for this…

4th, 7th, 9th, and 11th largest cities in the US to be exact. Fort Worth is 16th, if you don't consider it part of Dallas, which i dunno if people around there do.

I'm sure people have answered your question, but in my opinion it is pretty simple. Texas has 4th, 7th, 9th, and 11th biggest cities in the US. Combine this with Texas having a strong economy compare to many states = sales.

Have to admit, I'd watch this.

You got to admit, this dude has Swag. I don't even know what that means, but he has got it.

Those are the worst. I remember waking up at like 3am one night in a panic that an order wasn't get out of the kitchen on time back when I was a manager at a diner. There is no escape!

I think you misunderstood Lozzle. In Ironman mode in XCOM when you make a move the game autosaves. So if you move and get shot then you can't exit and load up before your move. There may be a way around it, but it was designed to force people to live with their decisions. He was saying that it doesn't require you…

So hyped for that part. There are already entire community websites planning on recreating adventures told in the shadowrun novels and sourcebooks. If the modding community can get behind this game it will be crazy.

I'm just going to add to Akrahun's take. The combat is very x-com like, but not nearly as polished. The other half of the game is much more a point and click adventure at its heart. Talking to people and attempting to find places in the map that hold objects to interact with. This isn't a bad thing, as this game…

Little confused .... they list Serious Sam and Alan Wake as the deepest discount @ 90%, but then state that Just Cause went down to 96% off. Mistake?
