    Sid Meier's Colonization (The Original)

    I still replay the 2004 Pirates! once a year or so. It's a damn good game.

    Sid Meier's Colonization (The Original)

    I remember buying the greatest collection of games ever: Conquer the World. It included Colonization, Pirates! Gold, Railroad Tycoon Deluxe, and Transport Tycoon. They were all upgraded to run on (I think) Windows 95. Anyway, I played the hell out of all of them, and Colonization was the my...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Every time I see one of those Carfax commercials where the little Fox appears to sagely advise against purchasing the car I think of Onoes. If only he'd had a Car Fox, so much time, energy, and money could have been saved.

    Obstacle Course Racing (Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc)

    I'm proud to have participated in the only Tough Mudder where someone died. My biggest beef with these races is how expensive they are. I really don't see the need to charge as much as they do.

    I pay 35/month for LA Fitness, but they don't provide much in the term of extras. We don't even get towels. They have some gay fitness-oriented Facebook site, though. Yay? *Edit* The best thing about my gym is it's in the same shopping center as a big grocery store, which makes picking up...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Oh man this is one of my biggest jimmie rustlers. You get a craving for some kind of delicious snack food and there's nothing around. Last weekend late at night I got hungry so I wandered into the kitchen looking for something snacky but there was none to be found. I piled everything I had...

    Career ideas...

    Social workers are the most miserable people I've ever known. Which is ironic, because before getting into the field they were so idealistic and upbeat about helping people. Dealing with the dregs of society on a daily basis will do that to you, I guess.

    2013 NFL Season

    Redskins fans are just so desperate for a franchise quarterback that they'll champion anyone under center who isn't Rex Grossman. Hell, you could put a Redskins helmet on Chicken Boo and 90% of Skins fans would be proclaiming him the next all star. "He's not a chicken, he's a franchise...

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    Looks like a the pussy on a 55 year old whore. "Kombucha". That sounds Japanese? Do fat neckbeard weaboos drink fake bacteria vagina in place of the actual pussy they're unable to pull? Someone drag Sean out of the Other Games forum and get a solid answer about this.

    Sleepy Hollow

    This was better than I expected based on the comments here. I really like the 2 main actors. The guy playing Crane, especially, did a really good job with the part. It also has a much more interesting story than I anticipated. I dig the demons and the four horsemen of the apocalypse that...

    It blows my mind that Horizons--a complete and utter abortion of not only an MMO but a game in general--is still running while bad-but-not-abysmal games like WAR and COH shut down.

    Jesus Christ I swear I've heard "NFC Least" 500 times in the past couple days. I wish they'd kick Dallas out of the division and rename it "NFC Coastal" so that tired joke would die.

    What are you playing?

    I'm still playing Cookie Clicker. The best part of my day has become the 5 minutes after I get home from work and can spend the trillions of cookies I've accumulated throughout the day. Tonight I'm going to upgrade to British Tea Biscuits. So exciting!!!

    2013 NFL Season

    Oakland/Denver does not deserve to be on a Monday night. That game should be on at 3am between infomercials for juicers and weed whackers, since it's going to have about that much entertainment value.

    This goes for me as well. My big thing about starting to watch this is that it might get cancelled. I can't stand when I get invested in a show only to have it abruptly end.

    Veterans Small Business

    There's tons of remote work available, at least what I've seen personally. I know on some of the proposals we've won we've had "teams" of people as scattered as upstate New York and San Francisco. There's no reason you couldn't do a lot of stuff right out of your living room.

    The worst part about losing a lot of weight is that awkward period right in the middle of your fattest and your goal. Your clothes are so baggy that they look like shit on you, but you know you're going to be losing a sizable amount of weight still so you don't want to bother buying "temporary"...

    Veterans Small Business

    In my experience, this pretty much nails it. As long as you have the contacts to get you some initial subcontracting gigs, it seems insanely easy to get one of these little companies off the ground. Fuck, if I were a woman, a veteran, or a minority I'd go ahead and start my own. I know of one...

    Veterans Small Business

    This is absolutely something large companies do. For example, I've seen behemoths like Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC, and Deloitte partner with shitty little mom and pop operations simply because a task order was released by the government as a SDVOSB set-aside (service disabled veteran owned small...

    Recommend a dating site

    That's a fair point. There is a time and place for text messages I suppose. I still prefer calling when at all possible, though. I've never had a problem when calling, but after getting a number I've always followed it up with something like "Great, I'll give you a call tomorrow after work" or...

    Recommend a dating site

    You shouldn't text a photo of your dick as the first text. Pro tip. *Edit* Why text when you can call? Whenever I've gotten a number from one of these sites I just go ahead and call, you know, like a man.

    This was the biggest WTF moment for me from the episode. I know, I know, at this point we shouldn't be turning on our brains during Dexter but...come on. I was at least hoping for some half-assed line about why they didn't have to worry about bad guy (I don't even care enough to remember his...

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    It's a homer pick, but I really liked the throwback Redskins jerseys from last year. The ones that had the leathery looking helmets. I'm also partial to the Steelers "bumblebee" throwback, but I think I'm alone in that opinion. Who's on first?

    D.C. Naval Yard Shooting

    Well that's what I was getting at. People who work in facilities like that don't have to go through security themselves? I can understand higher ups not having to deal with it, but I figure that your average grunt worker would at least go through a metal detector or something. Like I said, I've...

    D.C. Naval Yard Shooting

    Doesn't the Navy Yard have fences around it and the standard security checkpoints at entrances that you typically find at government buildings? I've never been inside, but I can't believe it's as easy as entering a normal office building. I'm really curious to find out the specifics of how and...
