I played a lot of the closed & open betas. It’s a nice change from the twitchy non-team play of the shooters like Halo 5 & COD. We usually ran with at least 3 in our squad and communicate a lot. Even with our experience we’re still learning a lot.

Here’s to hoping that Fallout 4 & Rainbow Size Siege can keep me going until The Division.
I thought XCOM2 was getting released on PS4/Xbox One also?

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I need to drink some water & re-read it so I can do a spit-take on my screen. I’m around level 33 & just got up to damage resistance 101.

Are we going to see sky blue - bronze colorblind people posting WTF comments? Will my 72-yr old Fox News guzzling FIL who refuses to give Comcast that extra $5 for HD programming bitch & moan about the lack of color contrast in the game?

Is it me or does she look like some kinda super-America baby burrito? I had no idea one had to be entirely wrapped in the hajib...

RE: Katie Fiorentino’s story - kudos to her father & her, but aren’t you supposed to tip as if each person got a full meal or at least a bit extra?
Also, this weekend my wife & I had lunch at a brew pub and got a growler to take home. Wife said I should tip on the growler as if it was part of the meal (usually 20 to…

Love Civ 5 but it won’t run for more than 10 minutes on Windows 10. Tried a bunch of things to no avail.

Your remote issues, especially programming it, is not the fault of Xbox. I use Harmony remotes - web-based programming where 99% is done that way.

RE: golf ball & highway - all roads are graded to the side (called cross-slope) to facilitate drainage of water. On a flat stretch, the normal crown is 2% (about 1/4” per foot). For standard 12’ lanes, that’s a drop of about 3”. On curves, the cross-slope gets steeper to assist with handling in the curve and counter…

Janus, is that you?

There is no respawning in the TDM matches. You play best of 6 rounds (3 as attack, 3 as defend) in each match. Each round is proceeded by class selection and then 30 seconds for set up. Rounds have a 4 minute timer.

I will grant that these concoctions look absolutely disgusting, but candy corn is awesome.

WTF? Is free work lunch a Canadian thing or a game industry thing? Spoiled Canadians and/or game industry worker bees.

Does this mean that the media will stop fluffing every horse that wins one of the Triple Crown races as the Next. Huge. Thing. that no one actually gives a fuck about?

My favorite part is how only the athletes, coaches and athletic personal get any input in the rebranding. Because only the athletic department cares about the school or has any ideas about the traditions, logos, and representation.

Glad to hear the good news about the film. RE: Mad Max not being such a big element of the film, a recent viewing of The Road Warrior reveals the same thing. In that, he is just the mysterious stranger strolling into Fort Apache to help the good guys escape the bad guys.
To me, it isn’t important that the named…

A bunch of great movies on the list. For my own list, I’d put Kelly’s Heroes in the top ten. The cynicism & misery of the soldiers evokes the Bill Maudlin cartoons view of the conflict. At the very least it’s the best war/heist movie out there!
I should probably give Letters from Iwo Jima and Inglorious Basterds…

True story - Freshman year in college ('86), "Blue Velvet" was one of the films being shown one weekend for a dollar on campus so a couple of guys & I went to see the film. One of them wasn't following the story AT ALL and kept whispering questions. Towards the end of the movie when Dorothy's husband is shot in the…
