And what are you doing to keep the forums active?

Instead of focusing on what ATB DOESN'T like, how about he tells us what women he DOES find attractive.

I find Emma Watson quite fetching.

ATB, it is perfectly normal for homosexual men not to find women attractive.

I guess that explains why you're not attracted to her either...

Weather is interesting but it’s not quite right yet.  Part of the problem is caused by other problems in the game (See pathing is terrible).  In one game I played I had my tank roll over my fire pit going backwards instead of heading forwards like I had asked.  As a result my infantry started to freeze to death because I couldn’t rebuild it.  There are talks about adding other sources of heat, like use a Flamer to light a tree (or tank) on fire for warmth until it burns out.

This makes weather sound more of a hassle rather than adding anything fun to the gameplay. is it?

It's similar to forgiven mortgage balances.  You don't have to pay back the loan but it is indeed seen as taxable income.

I'm fairly certain you'll be able to establish a payment plan with the gov. so that it's not all due at once...if that helps?

It also couldn't hurt to get an accountant take a look at it...

Glad she's going to be getting better.

Or the fact that he didn't deliver on his campaign promise (which I thought was the exact right direction) to normalize relations with Iran?

There is no unified multiplayer platform that even comes close to the features, up time and simplicity of XBL Gold. For 3.00 per month it's a no brainer.

But if you're not using it, no reason to pay for it.

It's a great show, but I would stop after the fourth episode of the third season (Do not stop before those four episodes though, they may be the best of the entire series). Make up your own ending as if the show was cancelled (it's a good spot). The series then falls off a massive cliff. No one has ever taken this advice, but everyone who I've given it to tells me after that they wish they did Tongue.


Have you gone back and rewatched the show lately. Whole last season is much better than I remembered.

And the acting is great. Special effects are great. Everything is great. GREAT, FRAK YOU, GREAT!

I'm with the above two jokers.  BSG had some of the best damn acting on a sci fi show ever.  And the special effects were pretty damn impressive for the budget they had.  You must have been watching the original Battlestar Galactica.  That's the only explanation for that immense disconnect from reality I'm seeing.

Man, you guys are one butthurtable group. Thanks for being so levelheaded about the whole damn thing.

These sorts of scenes and themes can help to expose children to the darker sides of our lives and society,

Overall though, the characters are great, the interactions are great, the writing is sharp, the references to earlier events in the show are almost always subtly hilarious.

You may be talking about the GI Joe or He-Man type shows for the "hella violence" but take a look back and see how many people were killed or even hurt more than blandly knocked unconscious in those shows.

However, don't bother posting here, as you comment about Up has made all future comments irrelavent.

You're saying lots of people died in the jetsons, flinstones, and on howdy doody? How about fat albert, hong kong fooey and josie and the pussycats?  And how many people died on Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker or Tom and Jerry (other than the occasional gun to the head)?

I'm not sure what we're discussing here. You're saying there used to be rampant death and violence in cartoons? When was this? Name a few.

As for up. To Pr0ner's point, the first portion of the movie is excellent.  The whole psycho bad guy trope didn't fit the movie and the fact that he was a psycho wanna be kid killer wasn't particularly great either.

As for defining a human right, read on.  Then read some more.

To equate human rights with the right to bear arms in the United States is utterly ludicrous and trivializes such things as the Civil Rights Movement.

Yeah. The constitution disagrees with you.
