Honestly, that ending doesn't sound better, just slightly different. It is interesting how they seemingly wanted Shepard fucked no matter what.
I'm at Ilos now. I somehow locked myself into a romance with Kaiden. It made me want to leave him to die so badly, but I already did that in my original playthrough so I wanted to change things up a tad this time.
Yeah, I'm right there with you on that, even though the Shepard blows up Earth thing is pretty dang close to my original expectation of how things would go when I played it the first time.

So they've added a few more temporary things to GTA online for Halloween, including killer clowns armed with knives. Also, Christine has been making appearances, and if the videos online are any indication seems to share my feelings about how to deal with car meets.

Quitting would be disrespecting my time since I am a completionist.
I do have my limits though, like playing ME on Insanity. Fuck that.
Below is a complete, lifetime list of games I've played on anything higher than normal difficulty:

Yes, that's the one!
Aw. I actually like that one. Maybe the only GTA RC vehicle mission I don’t hate.
of course it may just be the one NPC that shouts “Crush! Kill! Demolish!” In that mission. I’m easily amused.

I'm definitely getting this. And I'm definitely NOT trying to get 100% on an of em. Last game I did that on was San Andreas. Never again. Stupid Burn and Lap. CJ nearly starved to death while I tried to get through that thing.

I am torn. As much as I would love to play those games in a remastered format, there is no way I am going to put myself through the fuckwittery of bullshit missions and side gigs like Wrong Side of the Tracks or Checkpoint Charlie ever ever again.
All you had to do was follow the damn train.

I hadn't even been keeping track of the Lions, only learned this week they hadn't won, my general strategy has been whoever is playing the Jets or Texans. If I haven't picked either of their opponents, I decide which is more likely to have a fluke upset.
I didn't know till I started looking at the survival stuff this morning. I mean, I knew they were bad, but didn't realize they hadn't won at all. Possibly because I don't think I've actually watched a minute of any NFL game so far.
I took a look at who I've picked against so far, and I've spread it around more than I figured. Six teams in seven weeks, with the only repeat offender being Houston.

Yeah - but I dont expect this Lions team to go 0-17 - like for example, I could easily see them beating the Eagles
And that flow chart should contain the Jets - especially with Zack Wilson out
Of course that means believing in the Bengals
Yeah the Jets have been a big part of my personal flowchart so far.

So my In laws are getting rid of all their old VHS tapes. Instead of just throwing them in the trash, my father in law is cutting them up. I could maybe see the point if these were personal/family tapes or something, but they're just old movies they taped off of TV. So he's spending hours a day, every day, out in his garage cutting copies of Ben Hur taped off of cable into tiny little pieces.

This. There are a lot of reliably bad teams this year.

Anybody want to be Washington State’s coach? Their previous coach apparently decided to be a clown full time instead.

Really interested to see who LSU targets/ends up hiring. Lotta noise about Fisher heading over there, mainly due to LSU's AD being the guy who hired him at A&M. Don't know if that makes sense for either party.
Assuming Fisher doesn't actively want to leave A&M, and I haven't seen anything indicates he does, LSU would probably have to give him 10-11 million per year, for 10 years and all guaranteed. That seems crazy money to pay anybody not named Saban or Swinney.
From Fisher's side, unless he wants out or gets all the money, I don't see a whole lot of reason to wade into the potential Title IX/NCAA mess in the bayou.

UFOs are back, after 8 years. Only this time they're actually supposed to be there, not inserted by hackers.

I had a completely shit day and didn't even end up watching the game. Saw the Ags had won, so now I gotta go figure out when it replays on the SEC network, so I can record it. Might get round to watching by March or so, given the way life is going at the moment.
If you'd have told me at noon today that Texas (who was up 28-7 or something similarly ridiculous at that point) would lose and A&M would win, I'd have been willing to bet you quite a lot of money that you were wrong.
I'm kinda guessing Calzada just had ihs Reggie McNeal vs. OU moment, and next week he reverts to being himself all over again, but even if that's what it was it's good enough. If he didn't, or if King comes back and is actually good, then 10-2 isn't out of the realm of possibility, looking at the remaining schedule. OL somehow didn't give up a sack, which is really encouraging. They gave up three against New freaking Mexico. And they scored more points against Alabama then they did New Mexico as well. Football is weird, but I don't hate it this week like I did last week.
-
So just as everybody predicted, Calzada is 10-10 with 2 TDs in the second and A&M is up 10. Still expect Nama to win by about 40 at the end.

I've seen dozens of those things. He's using the standard formula. Hell, I can still rattle off the compound ... complex ... stuff in my head without even thinking about it, and I haven't heard it in 25 years. I don't remember those mannerisms, so I don't know if that's just him or if I've just forgotten that. I really don't remember the cannon being there either. The fact that I never went to one of those things sober probably doesn't help my memory
1 hour ago, JLowe said:I think it's one of their yell leader things. They have hundreds of these weird traditions.
Yeah, he's a junior yell leader, doing the standard midnight yell finish. I will say he's doing the worst job of it I've ever seen done, though. I'm guessing he won't be governor in a couple decades.
I miss midnight yell. I mean, not enough to want to drive two hours to go, but I miss it. Stumbling over from my rundown apartment (generally referred to by people that didn't live in that complex as "the slums"), getting in fights in the stands, getting puked on, making out with the random girl who happened to be standing next to you when they cut the lights. Good times.
My favorite memory from my time in grad school at Texas. Walking out of the old ENS building in the evening and hearing the yells and the Aggie War Hymn loud as hell. Took me a minute it was coming from the stadium, clear across campus, and that Brown must've been trying to get his guys ready for the noise at Kyle. Funniest damn thing I've ever heard.

Sterling made Hawk Harrelson sound like Vin Scully by comparison
I haven't heard Sterling, or thankfully Harrelson, in years and years, but the idea of anyone being bad enough to make Harrelson sound like Scully by comparison is something my brain just can't comprehend.

Is there anyone in the history of football who has been better at their job, but less respected than Urban Meyer? He's legitimately an all time great college coach, and even the fanbases of his biggest successes kind of hate him.
I was gonna cheat and say Joe Paterno, but their fanbase is still perversely committed to him.

As bad as Calzada has been, he isn't even the worst thing about A&M's offense. The OL is up there with the worst Aggie OLs I've seen, and that's saying something.
Fisher has already punted on the year, telling starting level players to go ahead and get their season ending surgeries out of the way.
So this is the one week of the year where I hold my nose and root for OU. I have an expensive piece of paper from Texas somewhere in the house, but the there are very few teams I'd root against if they're playing Texas. Basically the Penn States of the universe.

Half the field is officially out now, so we've just about hit the point I hit every year where I get knocked out. One of my two most appealing available matchups involves picking against a bad Giants team playin on the road. Pretty sure if I pick that game it will end up in a tie or something similarly ridiculous.

I think his problem is that if my father in law ever watched the Colonel Bat Guano scene in Dr. Strangelove (which I'm sure he hasn't, since he's entirely without a sense of humor), he wouldn't get the "You're gonna have to answer to the Coca Cola Company" joke. He'd think the colonel made a perfectly sensible point.
