    World of Warplanes

    Anyone in the open beta for this? I got into it last week. It's actually not that bad, basically PvP with WWII era airplanes. Apparently at some point in the future it's supposed to interface with World of Tanks. In game name is synfresh. http://worldofwarplanes.com/

    I voted for Xcom and if it wins I'll jump on that since I've been wanting to get that. After that we'll see what the dailies are. I do know that the odds are that I'll stay away from indies as it's more likely to be cheaper somewhere else/Humble Bundle. Got a ton of them already. So far I...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Another example of how this case is a slam dunk appeal if somehow he gets convicted.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    A vast majority of people who think he's guilty are those who look at the fact he had a gun and a little boy was unarmed. That's it. That's exactly what the state argued, the emotion part of it. How can this man kill this boy, he had skittles? It's only when you look at the evidence you...

    And so it begins... Not sure how much I'm getting this sale. Between humble bundles, previous sales, amazon, I own so much shit it's not even funny. Not seeing anything today that jumps out (already got Hotline Miami). Dishonored may warrant consideration if it wins the vote. It says...

    Judge denies the animation and texts. Why am I not surprised.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    All I know is at this point, you need to search high and wide for anyone with common sense that doesn't think this trial is all but over for the state. The forensic guy for the defense yesterday basically shut the door on any doubt that Zimmerman was on his back getting his ass kicked. The...

    The Trayvon Trial

    While this may happen, to me it only happens if the jury doesn't follow the jury instructions. Unless the state has some blockbuster piece of evidence coming out, not sure you even have enough for manslaughter let alone 2nd degree murder. Whether he deserves it or not is a seperate issue.

    The Trayvon Trial

    I agree, the state basically did the defenses job yesterday by playing all the interviews so its like Zimmerman testified yesterday and didn't even have to be cross examined . Then on top of that, you got the police on the stand to say they found him credible . Was watching Anderson cooper...

    The Trayvon Trial

    This argument is pointless. This is youropinionthat he thought he was suspcious because he was black. There certainly isn't any evidence anywhere that suggests Martin being black is the reason he thought he was shady. He's never used language that points to racism, in this incident or any...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Why does the context continue to be ignored. It was suspicious behavior to him because: a) he's lived in a neighborhood that was been victimized by a number of break-in's b) Said break-in's were done by african americans c) Being part of the Neighborhood Watch, he's conditioned to spot out...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Maybe instead of making up shit off the top of our head as to what Zimmerman is and is not and what really happened, let's look at what the evidence shows: The evidence does not show Zimmerman as a racist. There are no previous instances of Zimmerman using racial slurs or discriminating...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Dude, if someone wants to fight you and starts throwing punches, that's not a legal loophole, that's self defense. At that point you can and should do anything to protect yourself. This guy was on top of him wailing on him, Zimmerman is yelling for help for what seems like fucking eternity...

    The Trayvon Trial

    You completely forget the fact that the state must prove Zimmerman started the fight, was the aggressor. They haven't done that yet. Martin didn't die because Zimmerman got out of his car or even asking who he was. If you can prove otherwise, the state will get it's conviction.

    Speaking of junk food/candy/soda, believe it or not my daughter is 6 now and has never drank soda in her life (she doesn't like the carbonation). She'll eat the occasional candy but only if it's mine and I give her some (she doesn't have any of her own). This is complete opposite of myself by...

    The Trayvon Trial

    I think too many people get hung up on the fact that he was a) 17 and b) unarmed, as if he still didn't have the capability to seriously hurt or kill someone. If he was 50 pounds heavier and maybe 5 years older, you would of never heard of this case.

    The Trayvon Trial

    His reasoning for why he believed the yelling was coming from the guy on the bottom was that it didn't echo all the buildings as if someone was vertical, it was direct to him. Take that for what it's worth. There is enough evidence that shows that Zimmerman was on the bottom, with injuries no...

    The Trayvon Trial

    There is only two, one of which says it was a 'boy's voice'. The other person who says its Martin is his girlfriend, who has reason to have bias. The one that was closest to the fight (the one who testified yesterday) was positive the screaming came from the guy on the bottom and he also...

    He had two black eyes when he went the doctor the next day. Also had a closed fracture of the nose. Also had multiple lumps on his head the night of the fight.

    The Trayvon Trial

    Not to mention the fact that it's not like he shot him as soon as the fight started. He's screaming for help for at least 40+ seconds, nobody is coming, how long is one supposed to wait before they take matters into their own hands? The neighbor never said that the fighting stopped (he only...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    5 years married, never slept anywhere else than my bed. As a matter of fact, we made an agreement early on that we would make every attempt never to go to bed mad at each other. So far, it's happened very rarely, maybe twice.

    The Trayvon Trial

    I think he was an idiot as well but I don't see how he's guilty of murder (perhaps manslaughter but it's a stretch). Nobody can prove who started the fight and yet there is evidence that Zimmerman was taking a beating on the ground. The guy is judged guilty simply because he got out of his car...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    To be honest, I'm not sure if most hardcore MMO players who are burnt out know what they want in a game anymore, although it's probably not reaching to say they don't currently want what exists in the market now. I also don't think these games are looked at as long term investments anymore, at...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    True free to play is not having restrictions on certain game aspects (like the AH or chat) and not having content locked behind a paywall. Rift does do a good job of this but they do lock content (souls) and they do restrict certain parts of the game if you are not a sub. To me it doesn't...

    My daughter had no issue going pee but shitting took a whole lot longer so she was stuck wearing a diaper/pull up longer than I would have preferred. I think she was fully potty trained right around 2 1/2 so I guess in that sense it's was average. Diaper Genie was a great invention.

    That last month really is bad. My wife had all sorts of issues getting around, stairs being the worst (to the point we had to sleep downstairs). Of course things are magnified if there are other factors involved (age, high blood pressure, etc).

    James Gandolfini Dead at 51.

    This is the truth. People forget that prior to The Sopranos, HBO was known primarily only as a movie channel and Sopranos opened the door to pretty much any series that has followed (GoT, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, etc). The list is pretty short of actors that are forever linked to their...

    It sounds like it's more than that though. It's not just spamming an auto attack button, it's doing 2-3 other things at the same time like moving, spells, etc.

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I think it was popular in the beginning. But I also think most players got bored out of their minds at some point, quit and didn't come back. It's a good game, a lot of polish and the content updates were very good. The problem is there is nothing unique about it. The leveling process is...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I guess it depends on what the term 'successful' means to you. All I know is 2 years ago when it launched, the game was being treated like the 2nd coming on FOH (the thread was incredibly large, probably as large as the wow thread at the time) and other sites and at the end of the day, it wound...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Only thing I didn't like is they basically blew the surprise of Stannis coming to the rescue of the Night's Watch. There are a lot of people though (book fans obviously) that do not like the TV version of Stannis since it's pretty much a different character than what's in the book. Anyone...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If there's conflict with Jaime and Brienne I'm not sure why he then would ship her out to find Sansa as well as give her Oathbreaker. Jaime being at Joff's wedding would give him a first hand view of what goes down, especially as it concerns Tyrion. That might has some implications later on...

    Fired for an availability change..

    Yea, I agree with others. I sympathize with you, but considering the type of job/industry we're talking about, it sounds par for the course. Availability is gold to jobs like that and if they don't think they are getting what they need out of you, they'll just replace and recycle. I'd just...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, for one Brienne's arc is interesting now. Remember in the book, Brienne does not know what Sansa looks like when she goes looking for her so now that she's at KL, will they just throw her in prison and let her languish there until after the wedding? I'm actually more annoyed that they...
