    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Actually yes that was what our choices were reduced to. I like many others wish there were no troops there at all but I don't live in fantasy world were all my ideal dreams come true.

    SimCity

    Anno 2070: Make sure you turn off auto-leveling for houses and only level up those you want to level up and once you are meeting their needs. You should be able to support even an inefficient supply chain so long as you are meeting the needs of the people. When houses level up they need more of...

    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Who said anything about # of missions? The goal is to reduce troop and civilian casualties and drone strikes have done that. Since the ideal solution wasn't available, drone strikes are the better option.

    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    TheReality based alternativeto drone strikes was sending more troops overseas but I prefer to use drones as I am sure you would. Maybe one day we will live in the kind of world where the ideal solution is always possible but the historical ideal solution scoreboard says I'd have better luck...

    Question: I know this isn't one of the free games but is Assassin's creed III worth getting anyway if you have never played 1 or 2?

    Path of Exile

    I have a summoner witch (level 60 or so just hit last difficulty level) and I also have a freezing pulse with FP main attacking and ice spear totem secondary attack. So far my FP witch has been a lot more fun. You need better get and I had 3 tabs of rares stocked up from my summoner to draw on...

    Should I be worries about getting an HTC phone? Is HTC on the ropes? Or these delay issues for the HTC one a warning sign?

    Sherlock

    Yes and No. He definitely smokes a pipe but this during a time when it was consider normal. His cocaine habit he used less frequently and most often to stimulate his mind when he had nothing else to work on. The important thing to note about his habit is it wasn't a full blown addiction that he...

    Smartphones

    iTunes does let you play any music you want but if playing mp3 file audiobooks it can't keep your place effectively if you pause. Plus the controls issue I mentioned earlier is annoying. If I could line the buttons up vertically just that would make a huge difference. I am anticipating using...

    I am having some trouble finding the release date for the HTC One in the US. I thought it was this month (March) for the US and April for Europe is that still the case? Anyone know a more specific date? Also for you Android users out there how is Androids music playlist, creation and playback...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I can appreciate where you are coming from but I can also see where it would be a good idea to enforce the NDA here. From Draegan's POV having developers come to your forums and talk about (or just shill) their games is massively beneficial to at least helping draw in viewers to pay the bills of...

    The Matrix (1999)

    The Matrix was supposed to be all about levels of depth and complexity. You go down the rabbit hole and find out we are in the Matrix. You go down it again and find out Man blackened the sky itself (Lithose script). You go down the rabbit hole again and find out its not as simple as machines vs...

    The Matrix (1999)

    Should kickstarter a Lithose Matrix script for Matrix 2 and 3 "How is should have been". I'd would make one change on the ending. I would leave it open ended instead of showing which path NEO decides to take. does he "free" humanity allowing us to grow in the "real" world, travel to the stars...

    Sherlock

    Yes this is good news. Sherlock and Watson are played perfectly in this series. Elementary and House are good shows with Sherlock lite personas but their are some nuances in them that make it hard for me to enjoy them. I.E. House's drug addiction.

    The thing is Simcity should not be an online only game. When my Internet goes down or I'm on a laptop out of town simcity is exactly the type of game I would play.

    SimCity

    I can only assume they don't have a consultant on their staff who has real life expertise planing and building cities. While I don't know everything that goes into the mathematics of creating a city I assume there are engineers, architects or whatever they are called out there who do. Hell it...

    Smart. Very smart. Anno 2070 is basically just a graphical skin change of Anno 1701 but that isn't a bad thing.

    Taxes

    I am no expert but I have done this before. You can file an amended return and they will send another check if they owe you more money. It is fairly easy to do if you have turbo tax but if you don't then google would be more help then me for detailed steps. Turbo tax can also show you what the...

    Taxes

    Question: If you get a $3,000 refund what could you have instead done with the money if you invested $250/mo over a year? Assume there are no additional bills or (non-recreational) expenses to be paid with the money? Getting back as much money as you can definitely is a good idea but I am...

    SimCity

    I fucking bought this game through Origin. I could have put up with shity traffic that needed to be fixed but RCI that has no relation to realty in a SIM based game is just insane. I could even work with (with much rustling) the small city sizes if regional sharing/trading worked but the idea...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I may be the odd one here but I got married because me and my wife were compatible and more importantly I believed she would make a great mother. That if I should pass away early I felt confident that she could finish raising our children responsibly. So marriage for me, is the creation of a...

    Well it works. Whenever I buy something online I go from whatever website I am on and go check Amazon for a better price or even if it is only a few bucks higher I'd rather buy it through Amazon because I know what service I am getting.

    The department of transportation should include an upgrade for smart traffic where you could create roundabout intersections for streets and smart traffic lights for avenue/avenue and avenue/street intersections. Smart traffic lights being the kind where it allows traffic to go longer on the...

    The double decker does see to help with traffic more then the normal shuttle bus but I wouldn't say it is a major help. Most of the time traffic is so screwed up that it doesn't matter. I have always used the British police but I don't know how they compare to normal police. 2-3 of them work...

    This may be facepalm worthy but what/where are these things?

    The point of STEP is to not run into large numbers of errors while installing a great deal of graphical improvements. It will still take all day to do it though.

    Homeowners

    This is interesting and certainly something to consider. Personally my mortgage payment has gone down $100 over the years but I still pay more then the minimum out of habit. My homeowners insurance is (of course) separate and has gone up from $115/mo to about $140/mo but we did add a new car to...
