Knowing EA, that's never going to happen.

I never understood why people called them Xbone, then I looked at the tags in the store I work, sure enough they abbreviate it on the store tag to XBone.
Microsoft doesn't seem to be very good at naming consoles, especially in terms of taking into consideration all connotations of the title:
Xbox 360 = "spun around in a circle and ended up right where you started"
Xbox One = "started all over from the beginning"
I bet the next one is going to be called the Xbox Repeat or something.

3. crime
In Saxony (city of Chemnitz, 5 minutes from my wifes hometown) police tried to arrest an syrian terrorist who had a lot of explosives in his flat and apparently was planing to suicide bomb berlin airport
police managed to let the man escape and he did escape a sexond time when they chased him
syrian refugees caught him yesterday, tied him up with extension cord ( and gave him a beating for good measure)
Police today managed to let him hang himself in his cell with his own t-shirt o.Oreal and unsarcastic statement of the states minister of justice:
"we did not think that a suicide bomber would commit suicide" *facepalm*
You say Saxony, but in my head, I'm picturing Florida.

I've heard that most 360 games will play on the Xbox One just fine, but I don't think the save importer will work between DA:O and DA II. Don't quote me on that, though.

So I'm really giving some thought to doing a few more games. This new job gives me a lot of options. Some thoughts:
- Sword and blaster type game based on The Integral Trees
- Post-apocalyptic game with a twist. Maybe some sort of paradigm shift where the rules of physics change a la the Emberverse
- Suicide Squad game where players make the most horrid characters imaginable and are tasked with a mission to win pardon from the kingdom
- Zombie apocalypse
Another option: Start a Cypher System game. Just to learn the system

Still not as funny as Seattle calling their streetcars SLUTs (South Lake Union Transit).
LMAO

Not bad enough to stay home sick (Can't, no one else to do my job anyway) :P
But bad enough to make it very difficult to put on my happy face and pretend like I can stand the usual stupidity that happens around me. :PI had 100+ kids backstage ALL week last week (Hairspray, the musical) so I'm guessing one of them shared a cold. :/
To the witty and witless people everywhere! CHEERS! (Heck, it's 5pm SOMEwhere!) ;)
MOst Welcome my interweb friend. :)
Lost my dad a few years ago, and my mother is in her 70's and still working, (She learned Computer programing on typewriters that punched holes into index cards, and she's STILL doing it!) ;P I try not to worry about her too much, she is doing very well considering she has defeated breast cancer. Twice. :/Thanks for the Zinc reminder! I think I have some Zinc lozenges in the med cabinet. I HAVE been drinking 2 'Immuni-C's a day since I realized I have something. WHatever it is, it is not terrible, just terribly persistent.
Best wishes to all near/affected by the hurricane, hope you all get high and dry (and non-tree-falling) soon! :)

Soldier through season 1, it really lays a solid foundation for the epic to come.

No. Don't. Start with S02E01. See... that is where the bottle episodes stop and the arc stories happen. Then see season 1 when you know it a bit better.

Is this really that big of a thing that I missed out on? I don't remember it being on TV at all (granted, I was fairly young, and we didn't have cable), and aside from my ex's brother mentioning it a few times, no one I knew ever really talked about it.
Even when we got cable, during the time when I did nothing but watch Farscape and Stargate SG-1 on the SciFi channel in my parents' basement, it never even crossed my radar. I think I heard Spoony mention it in passing on his show relatively recently, maybe, but other than that...
