Achilles

I like how we both connected the dots there

Did you know that Sabre and I owned the same rig for a while?

Bush was a moron. I don't think we've seen any poll data for morons.

In 2008, we got lots of poll data about mormons and they ranked right around the same as atheists (Americans are more likely to vote for a homosexual president then they are an atheist or a mormon).

Newt isn't even on the ballot in his home state. He does not poll well with "values voters".

Don't poop on my parade, Mimi!

Unemployment drops to 8.3% and Boehner looks about ready to renege on the automatic cuts from the debt limit fight. Neither of the GOP front runners are electable. Dare I carve out a place for hope in my heart this November?

Yahtzee review of TOR:

I just decided that I'm legitimately excited about ME3. I think I should take some time off that week. As in all of it.

At the end of the video, the voice says something along the lines of "What will you do with the creation kit?". I almost posted this quote on the Bethsoft forum with the response, "Fix this ****ing game, like you should've done before you released it!"

Edit: srsly, it took them 6 weeks to fix 10 quests. Bastards.

I can't tell whether I'm really this excited about ME3 or if part of me is only trying to convince myself that I'm this excited about ME3 so that Skyrim will notice and feel bad about how horrible it's been to me.

*reads headline and then stops*

I hope this article tells me that the Reapers win.

I'm going to resist the urge to blather on about what colossal douche bags BethSoft are and talk about ME3 instead.

So...there are CE bonus items and GameStop pre-order bonus items. If I pre-order the CE from GameStop do I get both? For some reason, this feels like the most important question I'll ask today.

EDIT: After a quick visit to GameStop's site, it sure does appear as though you get both.

KinchyB calls that his "run around in circles" strategy. He's playing TOR too, though I'm not sure what class he is, etc.

I really hope the **** hits the fan over this.

Congrats on the milestone! I know 50 was a big one for you.

"We really appreciate the feedback from our Steam Beta. We anticipate the 1.4 update going live next week for all on the PC and being sent to the console manufacturers. The Creation Kit won’t be far behind."

Means CK will be out in February. Douche bags.

There's a term I'm looking for *confused*. "Auto-" something....???

I still say "**** multiplayer", but I thought you might want to see this.

Obviously, if they are producing something that's deved by someone else, all bets are off, but at this point, they don't even look like they're going to be able to make their "starting in January" date for the CK. Todd Howard's credibility is shot. If another Elder Scrolls game is ever made it will be purchased via some anniversary sale that Steam offers.

I actually found a new reason to be really excited about ME3. Now that I'm never buying another Bethesda game again, and since ME3 will be the last Bioware game I buy, that means I really only need to follow Obsidian and Rockstar and can ignore everything else. It's like gonna be like a magical +1 to my free time or something.

I seem to be in one of those phases where I'm taking a break from games and focusing on books.

After I realized I was going to have to wait a day to play Skyrim, I fired up Oblivion. Then I played Skyrim for a couple of months, then took a break from that. Tried to go back to Oblivion again and it's not as I remember it being

I am amazed at just how unplayable Oblivion is now.

Oh, suck. Actually, I think I'm going to go in right now and request a day off for 3/7

I'm really glad I preordered the CE for 360 when I did. I was in GameStop the other week and the guy working there was telling me that he waited and missed.

Hehe

"um, my eyes are up here"

Why is that? Is there a "simulation" involving Tali?

Perry in third place in TX. Stop before they start looking for pitchforks, Rick.

+1 Karma comes around

Doing a second run with Anjali. I forgot how gimped Lucas is. A fight that took a few minutes with Lucas is over in moments with Anjali.

My iPod offered up the end credit song from ME today. I'm trying to hold off until mid/late Feb but I don't know if I'll be able to do it. Came across a box with games that I bought but haven't played (i.e. Bully, Dreamfall, etc) so maybe I can distract myself with some of them.
