As disgusting as that is, my eyes are just drawn to "peice".
That, and the schizophrenic capitalization. I don't think that word means what you think it means - and if you're just using it to replace the generally regarded to be offensive "retarded", you may as well just stick with retarded - singling out a mental disorder and using it to describe a situation where lack of thought, attention to detail and/or ability to spell is really no higher ground. I'm not riding high on any horse here either - I've been known to use terms that are otherwise insensitive. Just pointing it out, is all.  Conversely, the picture may be implying this is the type of Ice the reader has swallowed: What? ETA Okay, I retread it after taking a nap and I see what you're saying, but the second definition of "schizophrenic" refers to a concept or sentence made up of disparate or contradictory elements. He may have slightly misused the word, but there's nothing really offensive about it.

Whelp, this just knocked Bioshock: Infinite off my GOTY winner after just 4 hours of gameplay.
I'm running it on the highest settings and I'm getting no slowdown at all.
System Specs:
Windows 8 64-bit Intel i7 2600k cpu @3.4k (8 CPUs) 2x Nvidia GTX 580s OC'ed SLi Intel 520 SSD - 256gb 8gb RAM
Well, with that barebones system, that's a miracle  .

I've seen him in a couple of films and BE. I'll give him a fair chance, but I will say that I feel that I won't judge Cavill too harshly compared to his predecessors, whereas, Shannon will really have to be great to help me accept him as Zod. TEAM TERRANCE STAMP 4-EVER!!

Looks like he's leaving a Super Skidmark. I am looking forward to this one, but I'm still sorry that they cast Michael Shannon. Granted, I've only seen bits of his performance, but what I have seen is par for the course with him. I don't get "evil genius" vibes from him, so much as I get "poor shlub in over his head" vibes. He's always fuming and whining.

Yeah, my sadness is for the special effects community, and movie fans, of course. His distinctive approach defined effects for a generation.

Well, tonight is the finale for both this and Person of Interest, so they will be taking more weeks off, unfortunately. I dig both of these shows, which is odd, since I normally hate CBS procedurals. These are actually a bit different, though.

Remember when we were kids and our parents told us not to sit so close to the tv?
Older CRT technology did shot out more harmful radiation (in the literal sense, not the nuclear sense) due to the way they worked. Flat panel tech is much different. tapatalkin' It was really only when they were new technology. By the 70s-80s era, that radiation was basically nil.

Well, each numbered game moved the series forward in technology and gameplay. It's kind of like how the Ultima series had the Underworlds and the World of Ultima games, in addition to the numbered series.

After all of this time, I'm a little shocked that they haven't had at least one female protagonist. I realize that the audience is largely male, but they could at least offer one as an alternative.

Looks pretty cool. Theres a 4 pack discount of 25% as well so the standard pre-order which includes beta invites and steam keys and puts the individual price at $11.25 per person.
So anyone interested in a 4 pack?
I'm in.
