who… who is this for?

heck, there isn't anything wrong with being an IT person or an HR coordinator or a robot salesman and do local theatre on the side. local theatre is fun

I prefer to smoke and pull my whole chickens, but if Im doing it inside I prefer to spatchcock and roast in a cast iron pan with weights on it

this is going to suck (because the other ubisoft movies have all sucked), but the idea of a ragtag 'deep cover' special ops team having to infiltrate a post-bio-weapon NY and extract a cure/scientist-with-cure isn't the worst set up for a mid budget action movie i've ever heard. it probably would have worked better in…

well, temper tantrum because i watched some of it- this was not a level headed discussion of the policy changes that need to be made to appeal to a wider swathe of the american voting public.

well, the dems have lost the house, the senate, the presidency (and by extension the supreme court) as well as the majority of states (both governorships and state houses.)

because some of us think its more important to win than it is to throw a counter-productive public temper tantrum that makes winning less likely by giving the voters the impression that liberals are children more concerned with feelings then assessing why every branch of the federal government and most of states are…

no, it doesn't. where do you think you get people to run for senate, for governor or for president? unless your plan is to recruit million/billionaires to run, you need to have people start at the local level, learn how government works and work their way up to the higher positions where they can be effective.

be better off spending this time signing up voters, perhaps figuring out ways to get young people to run for office at lower levels- school board, town supervisor, etc. the democrats bench is basically gone right now and a bunch of old celebs throwing a facebook protest ain't helping.

i was listening to a podcast that discussed some more details and it also stuck out to me that they don't have any built in system for voice chat- instead they have a 'temporarily' free app you can download on your smart phone and do VOIP with that program.

i love it, but i showed it to my wife about a year ago and she guessed the ending in about 5 minutes, pronounced the entire concept as 'dumb' and left the room. i'm not sure it holds up.

ok sure, but then you gen-xers have to admit that john hughes is only a mediocre writer and none of his movies have held up

The Seals were a lot more interesting when they were shadowy super soldiers, doing nebulous black ops.

well, they *are* asking me for the same amount of money that MS or Sony are asking me for, but they are promising me a much weaker machine for that price and instead want me to buy into motion controls and hybrid portability instead.

'optional' is unfortunately code for 'worse' in the parlance of motion controls. swinging your entire arm is inherently less efficient than moving your thumb, so past the novelty of flailing about, you'll likely see players forced to use the standard controls if they want to be competitive.

well, aside from the obvious? like a lot of the gimmick stuff, i expect it will see no use outside of a handful of first party games

Depends on the situation. If you're eating cheap, overly salty dogs at an event or something, ketchup can cover up a lot of mediocrity with some acid and sugar. If you have a good quality dog, you're just wasting your money

If you have access to Wegmans or you're around Rochester NY, Zweigles is far and away the best commercial hot dog you can get. If not, see if your deli counter sells them. Those tend to be decently priced and taste pretty good.

a lot of the state political parties and other big political players throw their own balls or contribute to the revelries, which make up the inauguration party sequence

i believe i'd already covered that when i called him a 'religious fanatic'
