Bought it. It's ok so far, not sure if it will have staying power though. It's more of a I go/U go type game.

Grue, have you read any of the Temeraire books?  Napoleonic Wars historical fiction... but if there were dragons.

Fun series and easy reads.

Anathem by Neal Stephenson.  Just finished my second readthrough of this monster and still love it to death. If you are a fan of Stephenson's style, then you should really enjoy this. Any negative comment I ever read about it was either people who didn't like his style, or just couldn't understand the concepts.  If you enjoyed his other works, this one is a safe bet.

I'm a book reading fiend (including most of Stephenson) and Anathem even intimidates me!

Fun games Xman and Isg.

Jag, if I had been able to down your stupid rocket launcher unit, I had you so outgunned on resources that it wasn't even funny.

I don't think I've ever come back from being down so much

Clip that did not make it into the Avengers movie.

Me and 4% of the people said Hey was the most famous Jude 

Fax machine is a good idea. What about a massive, loud fan.

You could also put your own speakerphone on max. I can PM you my number if you want me to yell business related tidbits over the phone

"I SAID THE TOMPKINS ACCOUNT NEEDS SOME ADDITIONAL WORK!!"

Another idea is to see if your company would install a door closing device on the door of the conference room so the door closes on its own.

They need to drop the price on the main game with 30days free, then I'll give it a shot. 7 days isn't enough when it takes 3 just to D/L the massive thing.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting especially since so many of us were really too young to fully understand the demons he wrestled with and what eventually did him in.

The other interesting thing is Ebert also tweeted that he wrote that piece just after he sobered up himself. I guess he had a particular insight into destructive behavior and it came through in the article.

Cute gif of the day

Ebert tweeted this piece he wrote after Belushi died:
Why John Belushi died

John Belushi did try to stop, many times. It is just that he never tried to stop in a way that would have worked. He tried resolutions and willpower. Every addict knows that willpower hardly ever works in the long run, since when the will turns, the game is over. He tried changing his environment, with retreats to Martha's Vineyard. Recovering addicts talk cynically of "geographical cures," as if a habit you carry within yourself can be left behind. He tried placing himself under the discipline of others, and even submitted to "trainers" who were to guard him twenty-four hours a day. That made his drugs their problem, not his. He tried switching from one drug to another, or to "only beer" or "only pot." All mood-altering substances are interchangeable to the abuser, and the drug of substitute leads inevitably back to the drug of choice. He tried health kicks, with Judy mixing her husband "health shakes" in the mornings, all filled with yogurt and bananas and wheat germ. An abusers body is incapable of efficiently absorbing nutrition. He talked to doctors who issued their dire warnings while writing him prescriptions for tranquilizers. He talked to psychiatrists who wanted to get to the root of his problem, as if today's drug abuse can be treated by understanding the traumas of childhood.

Need more HA games. Send me invites: Jagg.

I promise to play Dwarves which I think are the worst of the three, but I'm strangely addicted to them!

Pretty sweet deal. I have some scrolls, just pm me your bnet email and name.

Love Doctor Browns cream soda, but also Black Cherry. Being in South Florida, we have a decent supply of delis and Doc Browns.

[Spoiler]

Spoiler for Hiden:

There's a leek in the bathroom.

What was his name?

[The Girl Next Door]

The Girl Next Door: Google images. Fap.

If I order this on Amazon and use the Beta key does anyone know if I can still cancel it before release if I don't like it?

[Excalibur]

Excalibur: King Arthur wields supreme power because some watery tart threw a sword at him.

I have a nook, so Kindle is no good for me. Further research indicates that these books are in the public domain now (like the Conan books), so I'll just grab it from Project Gutenberg Australia

How many books in the series? Maybe I'll give it a shot before the movie comes out.

Man tough crowd.  Now whatever you do, don't try this:

I can't stop doing it!

Dwarf smash! Send me yer challenges.

Jagg

First ios game that has made an in-game purchase an insta buy before it even comes out.

MS Paint is very useful. Notice I didn't post all the games where you kicked my butt 

I think we all agree that ritt should move both his healers to the leftmost side so they get promoted to queens.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle YEAH!

I WORK OUT

Goddammit Kings.  Stop sucking.  Start scoring.

Panthers are tough, no shame in that.

May actually make the playoffs for the first time in recent memory. Picked a good year to get cheap season tickets

  I have no advice for you 

I may need to send that to my wife and replace motorcycle with computer.

Faeblades are cool. That is all you need to know.

My Super Bowl group:

Them: "Oh look, I think it's another Thor movie"
Me: "It's the Avengers"
Them: "No, maybe it's that Captain America"
Me: ""It's the Avengers"
Them: "Wait, isn't that Iron Man too?"
Me: "It's the Avengers"
Them: "It must be like a Justice League movie or something"
Me: (le sigh) "It's the Avengers"
Them: "What's the Avengers?"
Me: ....

Seriously. If you don't know how to get to the secret room in Adventure, then this book is not for you.
