I removed some posts and changed the thread title to be a little less inflammatory.

Don't see how calling stupidity for what it is can be inflammatory.

Whether its a racially or politically motivated move by the SOS of Arizona it is just so full of stupid it actually hurts.

Did they make Trinity dice like the ones they made for vampire?

I'm in the mood to buy scifi dice!

They are indeed hideous. I'm such a Trinity goob that I have multiple copies of Battleground, but gosh, those dice are uuuuugly!

The dark ages dice are more scifi looking(and beautiful) than these...why White Wolf? Why?

IIRC they were released right around the time White Wolf collapsed in on it's self. Maybe WW's financial woes contributed to the ugliness.

How is the auction house a cheat store? I can understand the idea that spending real world money to buy items is kind of cheating, but the auction house also lets you spend gold you've earned in-game. That's not cheating at all. Unless you consider buying things from a store cheating.

When you can spend money, real or fake, to super-equip your character it's cheating. Especially in a game like Diablo where you are supposed to kill stuff to get stuff.

Was that article supposed to be real or something out of the Onion? Either way it wasn't funny or even facepalm worthy, it was just sad.

Actually many people say it is so the game is harder to pirate, and they have your ISP now...haha.

There will be a bug free cracked version out within a month or two. Blizzard won't have stopped any piracy with this persistent online BS, they will have only pissed off a lot of Diablo fans.

An extremely dubious point of view. The professional reviews have either not mentioned the always-on DRM at all (disingenuous at best) or severely downplayed the potential problems.

That's because the online-only nature of the game does not reduce its quality any more than the online-only nature of a game like WoW reduces its quality. Viewed properly as a game with massively-multiplayer elements, it makes perfect sense.

B#@%#+#%! It makes a huge amount of difference. I only want to play single-player mode and will never use the in-house 'Cheat" store so why for f!&@s sake am I at the mercy o Blizzards servers to determine when I can play the game I bought...or should I say leased.

The only reason I can see why I have to have a ongoing internet connection to play the single-player game is so Blizzard can monitor how often I play and how I play so they can use that data to better market their next game to me. If they want my feedback they can have me fill out a survey instead of spying on me through their servers.

I'd love something to peruse pdf books with during gaming (and save my poor back the pain of lugging them all around) but most of the prices are just too high for me to justify. That one on sale is tempting but wanted to hear thoughts/opinions if anyone had them.

It's only running Android 2.2 (Froyo), That's two iterations out of date. I would't get it unless you intend to root it and flash CyanogenMod 9 on it it. At least that way you'll be using Android 4 (ICS).

I don't want to type all of them, It'll be easier to add you to my circles on Google+ so you can look at my music library.

Right now they are;
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC)
Black Angels
Black Keys
Black Joe Lewis
Pure Reason Revolution

Just noticed that 4 out of 5 of my fav bands have Black in their name, weird.

I think it has more to do with Iron-Man 3 being paid for and it's

pre-production already begun. They also now have to wait for Whedon's schedule to clear now.

Dr. Horrible 2, In Your Eyes (a Sci-Fi/supernatural romance) and a version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

It's more important to bring the DM to tears than anything else.

AARRRRGGGGG!!! Hulk spill hot coco on Hulk's Crotch.

With the cameo of Thanos I'm betting that they're working on a version Guardians of the Galaxy. I would prefer the original Guardians of the Galaxy not the confusing wreck that is the new Guardians of the Galaxy but movie they made would probably be a mash up of the two.

The Ant-Man movie could be folded into the Avengers 2 very easily so it will probably not be one of the unannounced two.

I would love to see Dr. Strange have his own movie, especially if they base the story off of some of the really tripy 70's Dr. Strange comics. Wizards and magic are in right now so it would have a much wider audience than it normally would have.

Let us not forget the possibility of a Nick Fury/Shield movie. They introduced the gadgetry, potential villains/plot and supporting cast in the Avengers. It would be so easy to expand on those, and Marvel would have the bonus of Samuel L. Jackson fronting the entire thing.

People could play as the members of Dethklok.

They have, in fact, found honey in some of the old Egyptian tombs (can't remember if it was in one of the pyramids, though).

Alexander the great was embalmed in honey.

I'm amazed his head hasn't imploded due to the vacuum between his ears.

Sarcastic bastard.

Shouldn't that be "pig belly"? After all, we are talking bacon. And speaking of bacon, I have some waiting for me at home after I get off work. I just hope I'm not too tired to cook it.

Doesn't bacon come from back meat? So it should be "Pig's back bell".

In my neighborhood it would be Denzel Washington, because any black man that dresses like him is obviously a crime lord.

Interesting. Then I guess I have to get another hypothesis as to why Marcel's kitchen flopped.

Probably some combination of:

A. Being on a channel that everyone loves to hate
B. Competing with Food Network
and
C. Being a mediocre show

Also half of the time it is nearly impossible for an average person to get the equipment needed to cook some of his recipes. I mean where the hell can you buy liquid nitrogen without having to fill out a bunch of licences and possibly and interview with homeland security.

Yeah, don't wear a hoodie or a big ass knife or be black or brown or anything other than vanilla white and you won't be hassled.

I know there is a website you can pick up the unpublished Order books for Norca and the Ministry. I just don't remember what it's called, I'll post back when I can remember.

Producers and directors that just don't give a f#$$.

I’ve never played a gnome because they are the worst player race ever.

The Shogun died in the midst of male only orgy comprised of only lower born men. The shoguns men killed everyone who attended to protect the shogun's honor then killed themselves so none could ever find out about the shoguns shame.

Thats the thing though, felons who have served their sentences have already paid their dues. Why do we insist that we force them into second class citizen status (cant vote, cant own a firearm, probably cant run for public office, and good luck finding a job.) for the rest of their lives? And the worst part is that these things are taken away blenket style, at least in my state. Counterfeiter? No guns. Non violent drug dealer? No guns. etc etc. Sure sounds like the right to bear arms has been infringed to me, even though their sentence has already been served! If we truly believed that they cannot be trusted ever again for the rest of their lives, why dont we just execute them?

As far as DUI laws, and Im sure I'll catch flak for this, but Im against them too. We already have reckless driving laws. If someone is swerving and driving recklessly, I want them pulled over, no matter what their blood alcohol level is. If someone has a blood alcohol level of .09 or whatever and is absolutely driving fine, I got no problem with that. That is the very definition of a victimless crime. Sure they MIGHT wreck and injure or kill someone. Just like my neighbor down the street, quitting smoking and on chantix, might go crazy and kill 17 people. I'd rather wait till people actually commit a crime before we arrest them. Or in the case of the on-topic stuff, before we stop and frisk them.

Edit- at thejeff, just saw your post replying to me earlier. I think I covered most of your questions, but just to clarify: felons out on bail or parole: no, they are still serving their sentences. And as an aside, it is currently legal to possess military weapons and even tanks (john dupont, anyone?) with the right liscenses. (as it should be IMO.) nerve gas should be covered under an amendment as a "WMD" (nerve gas is indiscriminate in its effects). And explosives? depends on the explosive I guess.

Double secret edit- Shifty, yes I would be in favor of a "WMD" type of ban amendment to the Constitution.

Depends on what state your in. Some states return all rights to ex-cons who served their time or finished their paroles.

If only Felicia Day was that easy.

I wouldn't want to take a test to love someone either. It would take all the fun out of random anonymous sex.

Don't think they did.

That's okay, we only accept friends that read the whole thread so as to not get a wrong impression. :)

How does reading the whole thread, and I have, make any difference? You're still making me take a test to see if we can be friends.
