I played Basic/Expert then 1st Edition as a teen until college back in the 80's. My brother & I then got back into 1st Ed a few years ago. Since then I have played some Pathfinder and 5th Ed (both Adventurers League & homebrew). While the Dragon magazine covers & other illustrations were always intriguing and…

No, this will allow Louisville to get back into the top 4. I bet AP is Alabama, Michigan, Washington, Louisville. Clemson drops to 24 because people doing the rankings hate them.

I’m a Clemson fan (95G). It’s been coming all season. Too many picks by Watson. Defense looked bad today and drew too many flags. But I do have to say that ACC officiating is terrible - too many phantom calls. Despite all that, good win by Pitt.

Very good post. I play on Xbox Live with many friends, but I think most of the people on an adult gaming website I belong to (and my friends list) are 25 to 45-year-old white guys. While I am in that demographic (plus a few extra years), I never discuss politics on the website or in XBL as I know most of them to be…

The original game let you customize the titan loadouts, but I guess that was too much for people. In typical game designer fashion, they swung the needle all the way to the other side.
My big beef with the multiplayer is that the new leveling system gimps low level characters. This allows the jerks who never sleep or…

Is the top photo of the brides of Hellraiser?

Was it 2 or 3 that had the random disaster that would wipe out part of a city (both population & a building or two)? Kinda missed that the last few versions.

I like the game so far. Finding it a bit more difficult than Civ V. I actually miss building roads though (I work in infrastructure design so I am probably the only one who likes covering the map in roads). The AI also seems very gung-ho to attack me- so far they’ve never given me a reason.

I saw many parallels to World of Warcraft in addition to the GTA V. Wide open spaces, a town with some quest starting points, lots of NPC’s wandering around.
In reality, something like this would probably be done in VR rather than a real place - but the original source material had it as people playing out Roman*,…

I haven’t watched the premiere yet. In the 1976 sequel Futureworld, Delos has improved the androids and wants to use them to infiltrate governments. Could be that HBO is going in that direction?

Sigh... despite years of Hollywood stupidity, CA will not slide into the ocean. The Pacific Plate is grinding against the North American Plate. Everything on the west side of San Andreas is moving NW.

Hold on! Is Chris Berman being forced to retire? Hallelujah! I heard him doing a few minutes of that dull Monday SF game and thought it was someone doing tired Gabby Hayes trying to do a Chris Berman impression. Just this weekend I was asking a friend why Chris Berman and his stupid nicknames are still on ESPN.
Now if…

I had originally ordered the sling, but changed my mind and went with the tote. My wife & I can both use it though it’ll mostly be mine - she has a good purse.
I was a little concerned that totes aren’t marketed to men, but if it can carry what I want it to why should I care at this point. Too old to give a shit…

I gave Enterprise about a season & a half. I can’t remember if the final straw was Archer becoming a fascist torturing thug looking to wipe out the folks who attacked Earth or the following scene:
They had the red flashing lights going off to signal danger and someone says to the security guy - “we should call that a…

My wife had Stage 1 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and we thought that was bad. Then barely 4 years later she developed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - was probably just a few weeks from dieing when they diagnosed it. Her treatment for ALL including a bone marrow transplant (now blood stem cells not actual bone marrow) almost…

I have a friend who went to that this year. She sculpts horses on commission which are then used as masters for castings. People buy castings of her models and paint them. She goes to Breyerfest & other related events and judges how the paintings are. Saw the other note about quality down - maybe for Breyers minis,…

That’s what happened with me! I had to read that POS in 7th grade and hated it. A couple of years later, my mom (an English prof) suggested I try Cannery Row which I loved. Then I read Grapes of Wrath which was so good.

Isn’t there a p0rn site that uses a J with backward J as it’s logo (can’t search right now as I am at work). It even looks almost exactly the same like 2 revolvers.

This post says it all. I canceled my pre-order after a couple of rounds with the new game. They went from having a great game with a cool mix of FPS and awesome mechs to being a poor COD clone with occasional weak mechs. Every TF player I know is disappointed.

I’m a structural engineer so I am often in the same boat. Additional pet peeves:
- catwalks without railings
- cars can’t really bust through modern bridge railings
- spaceships with 12' ceilings
- in the rare event that a show acknowledges someone as an engineer, another character will say, “Where’d you get your BA?”…
