  1. What do you do, Rippa?
  2. A new patch from Ubisoft for Unity: Too bad I already got all the freaking chests from the companion app. I'm still chasing down unlocking all the artifacts and missions and it's taking forever since all my assassins topped out at a level too low for the hardest missions and I had to practically start over with a brand new crew of recruits.
  3. Hmmm...a TV series of documentaries? This thread or the documentary one? In the Netflix thread since that's where I watched them? Decisions, decisions, decisions... I was basically dead for the last three days. When I wasn't sleeping, I was watching Netflix. And occasionally playing Assassin's Creed Unity (yes, still). And when I was watching Netflix, I was watching... Zero Hour - TV series of a bunch of one hour documentaries on various cataclysmic events in recent history. The gimmick is that they cover the one hour leading up to, and including, the big event in fine detail. They mess with this a little bit in some episodes - stopping at the big event in some (9/11) and going all the way through the big event in others (Columbine). Doesn't matter. This is GREAT stuff. The selection of events across the three seasons is pretty varied. There's the ones I knew in detail - 9/11, Columbine. There's the ones I had a passing familiarity with - Chernobyl, Columbia Explosion, Tokyo subway gas attack. And then there's the ones I'd never heard of before - the murder of the Nepal royal family, Bali night club bombings, and several others. And no matter which category something falls into, I learned a LOT about each event. They get a lot of interviews from witnesses, have excellent footage and good recreations. This is a well-done series that really needs to be revived. 9/10.
  4. LOL. This year's Best Actor competition is stacked. Cumberbatch was fantastic and is a deserving winner, should that happen. I think Cooper in American Sniper was better but won't be upset if Cumberbatch wins.Neither guy was as good as David Oyelowo in Selma - but he didn't even nab a freaking nomination.
  5. This is just such a great comedy. 99% of ESPN scrambling to smear the Patriots, Adam Schefter a beacon of integrity on this one, an NFL official stealing game balls (during multiple games, not just this one), the Colts probably tampering with a ball before turning it over, and all kinds of other twists and turns. All this story needs is a crazy finish in the Super Bowl to make it complete. Oh wait...
  6. The Tigers have announced that Miggy's rehab from surgery is going well and they expect him in the lineup Opening Day. That's great news, Tigers fans.
  7. That's the price you pay for having better music and health care.
  8. Speaking of such things: Mike Shanahan on RG3 and Daniel Snyder I do think it's funny that Shanahan thinks it's somehow improper that a QB, even one with just one year of experience, should come to him and tell him what plays he likes and doesn't like. GImme a break, Mike.
  9. Finally adding a turd huh?How dare you...get me to laugh out loud at work about my favorite team being represented by a literal piece of shit.The new logo is a photo of Art Modell sneaking out of town?
  10. What it looks like to me is ESPN scrambling to find something, anything, that will support the story they were pushing hard (deflategate) that has since basically been discredited. You saw tons of false information coming from ESPN that supported their side with nary a peep of actual info that didn't (that ONE ball was way underinflated and it just happened to be the one the Colts handled). And now they're throwing anything at the wall again, hope something sticks.

  13. Don't bother with the list of changes. This is not the woman for you.
  14. True. Andy just cheated on his, he didn't beat her up.
  15. Screw food poisoning.
  16. Well, yeah. But you're still in-character as Arno. And that mission RULES.
  17. Nobody hates that stuff more than me. It's garbage. There's basically none of that stuff in Unity.
  18. Whoooooooo! Platinum, baby!
  19. Yeah, I'm seriously torn on whether to get Geometry Wars or not.
  20. You seem to have a problem with his site, Joe. You need to EMALE him.

  22. Played some co-op last night and I can confirm that the game gives you credit for sync kills by your teammates in which you don't participate.
  23. Since that link seems to time out or die for me, here's a link to another Peter Molyneux interview. This interview was done the day after the Rock, Paper, Shotgun one - in which Molyneux said he would no longer talk to the press.I am of a couple minds here: - I think Peter Molyneux is a scumbag. Screwing over a contest winner, diverting resources paid for by Kickstarter to other projects, not delivering rewards, not delivering THE GAME ITSELF, etc - anybody who backed a Peter Molyneux project via Kickstarter is something of a fool. I mean, it's not like this guy hasn't earned himself a well-established reputation for missing deadlines, blatantly lying about the status of his projects, the capabilities of those projects, and delivering stuff that (while it may be great) doesn't come close to living up to his hype.
  24. Meek, it's up. And the tears flowed. Mostly from them, but alittle from me too.Finally got around to watching it and, man, the tears sure flowed - from them. More than a little over the top, IMHO. I don't doubt they were genuine but good grief. Greg was crying over stuff that wasn't even emotional. I do get that the show has been a big part of Greg & Colin's lives since it basically made them best friends who now live together and got them through 2 divorces and Greg's cancer. And that's awesome and worth celebrating and being emotional. It just all seemed a bit much.
  25. Yeah, even if you take away the "Kids For Cash" aspect, the documentary will make you want to break things. The whole "no tolerance" thing that Judge Ciavaralla had going on is just disgusting. And everybody that was complicit in it - principals, superintendents, parole officers, cops, lawyers, judges, everybody - they all need to fry in hell. The schools were using jail as a means of punishing students and that's just messed up. And for TINY infractions. One kid got busted for JUMPING OVER A TABLE in the lunchroom. WTF. Another kid ended up in jail for several years because his own father SET HIM UP as a means of getting him "scared straight" by bringing along a couple cop friends to a party where the kid was drinking. They planted some piece of drug paraphernalia on him and the kid was put away for several years, despite what his parents said. THAT kid ended up committing suicide eventually. Along with the "no tolerance" thing, what also came out was systematic denial of counsel by Ciavaralla. Parents would get asked "Do you have a lawyer?", they'd say no, be told to sign a paper, and that was that. Turned out they were signing a waiver of counsel. Should they have known better? Sure. But it was unquestionably coercive what was going on. And the prosecutors involved didn't care. When questioned, the prosecutor said something like "well, you saw as many lawyers as you didn't", which is about right - lawyers were present like 54% of the time (in all other courtrooms for juveniles, it was like 95% or higher) - and didn't care. That denial of counsel is what eventually led to the whole scheme falling apart. A juvenile justice center got involved and they got 2480 cases overturned and thrown out because of the bullshit that these judges pulled. GRRRR.
