    Nightly Movie Thread

    Saw The Thomas Crown Affair again last night. This is one of those movies that I can watch over and over again, like Good Will Hunting or Shawshank Redemption. It just gets better with repeated viewings. Pierce Brosnan is perfect for the role, Rene Russo awesome as well. Highly recommend it...

    Home buying thread

    People in Los Angeles and Orange County. I'm sure in San Francisco as well. And we pay over a million. Shitty, I know.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    That's really interesting. For me, UC2 was the one that got me hooked. From the opening scene where you are climbing up the train dangling from the edge of the cliff, to the ending with Elena which I felt was spot-on, it's the game that got me into the UC series to begin with. I went back...

    Dark Souls 3

    I think Bloodbourne ruined me. For DS 1 and 2 I went sword and board. Now I find myself rolling around all the time like a circus clown. For those further into the game, do you find one style to be better long-term? Should I just play this game BB-style, or would it be beneficial for me to...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I'm thinking that a lot of you complaining are playing it single-player, and as a single-player game there are a lot of failings to be sure. However, as multiplayer, especially in Dark Zone, there is a lot of fun to be had imho. This is like Call of Duty MP but with higher stakes. Yesterday...

    Per request.......here's a photo of the snoring beast you guys are hearing

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Link one. Genius. It's not like an involuntary hold is something taken lightly. Especially when the person can't pay and you know you are gonna take a wash on it. They held him because they felt he was going to harm himself or another, knowing they were probably going to lose money. So...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Wow, great response. I can see you love cartoons. Still waiting for you to explain to me why a for-profit center wants to hold someone for 4 days who can't pay. For apparently no reason, because Tarisk was completely rational by his account.

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Again, you choose to believe everything Tarisk has told you. Sounds to me like he voluntarily chose to go seek treatment. Beyond that we don't know how they viewed his condition. Tarisk makes it sound like he was perfectly rational....in which case, he could have signed out AMA. If he was...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    That's just the way things are, for better or for worse. We are set up to protect society against the <1% that wants to harm us. Look at how many billions of dollars we waste on TSA trying to catch terrorists bombing our planes. It's become a huge pain in the ass for travelers such as me...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    That's the way it is. No one can look into a patient's mind and determine if they "really mean it" when they say they want to harm themselves or another person. Tarisk says he was misunderstood and being sarcastic, but as a health care provider you don't have the luxury of second-guessing. If...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Two unexpected things happened last night: 1) I was able to log in without any trouble. 2) The power went down in my house....twice. The second time it did not come back on. This morning power was still out but I saw utility guys working in the neighborhood, so hopefully will be fixed...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I played this for over 6 hours last night. It felt like 1. First the bad - there is a high probability that Ubi servers are going to shit the bed tonight. Even yesterday, during a soft launch, I couldn't log in for over 30 minutes. You may see a bunch of "Romeo 2012351" or "Mike 20155923"...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Depends on the style of game of course. I'm like you in a sense, I've already shelved Fallout 4, Witcher 3, etc. I haven't subscribed to or played a true MMO in years (quit WoW years ago). The closest "MMO" experience I have recently is Diablo 3, which I haven't played in over a year, and...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Yeah for me at least Destiny was about gearing out my toons through raids. Of course with each expansion release there are the missions you have to level through, and I do enjoy those even though it's short-lived. The Crucible is OK, but also pointless since you don't get any good gear like...
