Or, and I’m just spitballing here, we could get rid of the damned scanners, cut the TSA down to an advisory committee, put airport security in the hands of municipalities, and otherwise got back to a regime pre-9/11.  Save everybody a lot of headaches.

To be fair, Boulder has always been kind of a Berkeley wannabe.

I am now suddenly glad I didn’t grab the disc and boot NMS right back up.  I’ll just kick back and wait till things have officially been fixed.

They’ve been putting out short guides for several MtG settings already as freebies. I suppose it wasn’t a complete surprise they’d try to go bigger with a full-bore book.

*hangs his head*  Yeah...

I can think of a good reason for a scope.  The piece mentions the beam is invisible.  With the right optics, the user could see the beam through the scope, in much the same way that first generation night vision equipment used a scope to see the infrared flashlight beams illuminating a target.  Add the right coatings…

If he didn’t want to die, he shouldn’t have brought a heavily armed mech into a semi-perpetual firefight with various violent psychopaths.

Nine figures worth of all over it? They were throwing around more money in the run-up to the subprime mortgage disaster, and that was considered a “can’t lose” investment at the time. For a moderately sized and respectable studio, somebody who had a track record of really good games (think BioWare before EA bought…

Go back to the part where Goldman Sachs forked over a fifth of a billion dollars, because that’s just making me go bald from all the head scratching.

On the one hand, I feel your pain. I caught hell for panning Diablo III way back, lot of commenters calling me crazy or pronouncing that I hated Blizzard because I dared to say it wasn’t a good game. Still the only negative website review on Metacritic for that game.

The requirement for ornaments to be unlocked which demands you have a full set of armor would be tolerable except you risk being unable to get a full set of armor relying solely on the RNGesus. And since ornament unlocks are not across the board in this Faction Rally (unlike previous instances), the grind is…

*hands you a snifter of fine Napoleon brandy and a Cuban cigar*

Weird timing on this one. Just got done playing this chapter last night. I wasn’t fast enough on the draw mentally during the initial “memory wipe” portion, and it was a little soul-crushing. I was half-tempted to restart the chapter and try again, but figured I’d play it out the end, see what happened. Got what was…

The cry for grinding was deafening because it came out of a small segment of obnoxiously loud voices, and I can honestly say my voice was not among them. Bungie heard “more grind!” when the voices being drowned out were saying “better grind” or “smarter grind.” So, no, “deal with it” is not the proper response to this…

No good can come of this.

Honestly surprised Criterion hasn’t added this one to their “Cult Films” section.

On a completely unrelated note: Mila Kunis?

Pretty good chance, really. Epic has released the art assets for Paragon for free, so anybody who uses the Unreal engine could pop them into their game, no fuss, no muss. They did the same thing with Infinity Blade. I’d be surprised if we didn’t see something.

Considering Taylor Swift started off in country music first, then shifted over to pop, this doesn’t seem too awful. Not great, by any stretch of the imagination, but not ear splitting awful. I’m wondering if this wasn’t something dug up out of the morgue, something that got cut from one of her earlier albums and…

And yet Gangsta can’t find a new home. WTF?
