    Dark Souls 2

    I swear it took me 15 attempts. Then it was like "oh, this time we'll make it easy."

    Dark Souls 2

    Nevermind. Just kicked Smough's ass finally. He did the butt smash like twice. Previously he was constantly doing that shit.

    No, it's a melee character. Paladin-ish type using a Silver Knight Spear.

    Dark Souls 2

    I have no trouble killing one or the other initially. It's the powered up versions I can't handle. My old-man reflexes aren't quick enough to dodge their hyper devastating attacks (i.e. Smough's butt smash) - or, rather, I'm a millisecond too late in my reaction and get hit while rolling away...

    Dark Souls 2

    Dear God I'm desperate. I cannot get past Ornstein and Smough (and yes I've read the hints and watched countless videos). I don't suppose there's anyone out there with a PS3 that can team up and help with this shit, is there? I am THIS fucking close to smashing the disc.

    Elysium

    Yeah, this was alright. I kept wondering where the fuck are the droids when the three assholes were running rampant at the HQ. Also, was Elysium run by some sort of A.I.? OMG everyone is now a citizen so send help to Earth ASAP. Oh, and Jodie Foster's calves.

    I've only browsed Match.com but is it just me or do a lot of these women's profiles make you feel totally inadequate? Makes me wonder how much of it is just bullshit.

    Since Hank didn't die at the end of this episode then I doubt he'll die in the next (or at all).

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Definitely one of the aspects of these new movies that irks me the most. Spock would have NEVER been in a "relationship" with anyone much less ahumanfemale. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Vulcans mate because of pon-far or whatever the fuck it's called? He wouldn't care about getting...

    Buying a car?

    I just don't understand that mentality -- paying between 10k-15k for a vehicle that's almost a decade old. You could buy a brand new Focus for that amount. Yeah, it's not the same class of car of course, but the point is you can buy something sparkling new which you know will be reliable and...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    I won. Didn't have to say a thing due to others throwing a fit.

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    It's pretty fucking bad but, yeah, point taken. I've ironed out a strategy that won't present a hostile attitude. So, we'll see.

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    I think this is already happening without any help from me. I know the PMs are flipping out to a high degree because work keeps getting piled on. We have way more incoming than outgoing. Actually, this is exactly what I'm considering. I've set up a Sharepoint 2013 Foundation server and...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    Yeah, I'm not going to threaten to quit. I have more of the attitude at this point of "What are you going to do? Fire me?". Which I know they won't, but then again I really don't want to start any wheels in motion on the topic. So, thanks to the responses here I recognize I need to cool it...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    The way our division is set up is kinda weird. In a respect, the person making this demand isn't our direct manager. A few months ago we had a restructuring where our specific department was dissolved and project teams were formed. Each team has a project manager and under each PM are...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    EVERYONE who has left this company has easily found jobs paying 15-25% more. We are incredibly underpaid for what we do. The only reason I'm still there is because it's convenient for my class schedule. BUT, I have enough money saved up where I could quit and go back to school full-time to...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    So I've worked with this company going on 6 years now. A few months ago they changed their support hours of operation by 2 hours earlier and 2 hours later. They have hired new support staff that agreed to work in either of two shifts. The guys in our department are a "second tier" level of...

    Just me. So, again, only one car would be in use at any given time.

    Hell no. Worst we get is a hurricane once a decade.

    Buying a car?

    In this case, both vehicles have the approximately the same value (08 Mustang GT and a new 2014 Fiesta). So, in my mind insurance should stay about the same. Not fucking double. EDIT: Well, a friend brought up a good point. What if some natural disaster hit and took out both vehicles...

    Buying a car?

    Actually, after thinking about it some more, this doesn't make sense. Isn't insurance based off of the probability of getting into an accident and the company having to fork over whatever? Well, having to pay twice the insurance is suggesting that if I get into an accident it will somehow...

    Buying a car?

    UGH...called my insurance asking about adding a 2nd vehicle. It's simply whatever the insurance is for the new vehicle + the old vehicle -- essentially double what I'm paying now. Oh, well, forget that idea.

    Buying a car?

    Here's a hypothetical question about car insurance. Say I drive a sports car as my daily driver. I pay whatever a year for my insurance. If I were to purchase a commuter vehicle (like a Honda Fit or something but keeping the sports car) - would my insurance go up or down? I thought I read...

    Oh, don't think anyone has mentioned this one butA Man From Earthis good. It's mega low-budget as it's just a handful of people in a house having a chat. But it's very interesting.

    Buying a car?

    I think I'd opt for a Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, or Kia Rio before I would consider a Versa. I think I recall reading a terrible, terrible, review of the new Versa Sedan. Extremely cheap quality-wise.

    Buying a car?

    Have any of you guys had dealings with Carmax? Any good/bad experiences? I'm in the market for a used vehicle and really don't want to deal with getting a mechanic to check the car over to avoid getting screwed. Carmax seems like a pretty safe route to go. Their prices are kinda meh...

    Underrated science fiction movies

    You know, I think I'll addOblivionto this list. I went back and re-watched it since I wasn't really paying much attention the first time. The visuals and soundtrack are exceptionally good. The attention to detail for the audio effects I thought was brilliant -- the drones were extremely...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've actually considered a Miata. The newer ones look far more masculine than older models but I'm not real sure about the reliability.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've been thinking trying to find a low-mileage Civic Si -- somewhere between the years 2008 to 2011. Getting close to 80,000 miles on the Mustang. I want to keep the Stang and get something else as my daily driver -- but it'll have to be something fun otherwise I'll probably find myself still...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    2008 Mustang GT, 5-speed manual. Bought brand spanking new during the financial crisis for $23800. I've added Boomtube muffler-deletes, Ford Cold-Air Intake, and Bama 93 octane tune.

    JL: The Flashpoint Paradox.

    The movie was pretty darn violent. Seeing Wonder Woman behead Aquaman's wife and kill a child was disturbing.

    JL: The Flashpoint Paradox.

    Has this whole new 52 thing not been well received? I honestly haven't followed comics in quite a few years. I think I stopped around Infinite Crisis.

    JL: The Flashpoint Paradox.

    I enjoyed the hell out of this. So much so I went ahead and pre-ordered the BluRay.
