    Right before the first brute - and then the random one you don't even have to shoot anything to "win" between chatting with people before the final push, yea. They were quite random.

    Merlin - The idea of "having the industry self-regulate" is how we got to where we're at right now - previous to the ACA (which doesn't regulate it THAT much) - almost every ounce of healthcare law and regulation came from the AMA, either directly because it was a topic they were given the...

    Well, then you're likely stupid (no surprise) because nothing has changed in regards to birthing costs except INCREASED COVERAGE especially focused on those that qualify for other government assistance programs like WIC. (And note: $0 to $1600 isn't double except in Merlin-math) In fact if you...

    Sure, the ACA is a giant black hole - but guess what, that's how the AMERICAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY WORKS - that's the problem. Either you want single payer or you want a black hole of some variant - the only difference to the "black hole" now versus then is that the Fed is reporting a ton of...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Well at least one of my guesses was right - see, Zarcath was right in one means of taking it and so was the other person quoted. And glad with the 10 year plan thing that the "character transfer" thing I speculated was accurate, because if not it would've sucked for people that start on PS3...

    Heck another interpretation that would BOTH be right is that the CHARACTERS are tied to each system family but while you're playing your restricted to your console for pairing. (i.e. you start out on PS3 Destiny, you upgrade to a PS4 next year - you'd still be able to keep your character [in...

    It says that in an article laden with quotes and none of the quotes explicitly says better than "by platform", but could be taken that way. Bad reporting does happen sometimes where things are assumed incorrectly. It would absolutely be my thought that it was accurate if we didn't have...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Technically the article quote only says "by platform" - which in last gen was the "we don't let XBox and PS3 play together" term - it's not impossible they used a poor phrase that they meant "by platform family" and Zarcath and them are both right. (Although I will say the authors in both that...

    That would depend entirely on who you are - wife used to smoke two packs a day for the first decade or so we were together until she got her act together - now even just walking by a smoker in the grocery store too closely makes me sick to my stomach quickly. For me, I'm 99% sure it would...

    D'oh Angel - just as an FYI - it takes a while, but if you could've dealt with the downtime of having it away, sending the unit to Sony and paying for it to get repaired last I checked was something like $60-80 with the NEWER units costing more to fix. And if they determine they can't fix it...

    On "Missions" I'm pretty sure there's some degree of overlap with "Explore" zones for the section while you're getting to the dungeon/whatever. I know when the wife was doing some Explore earlier she kept seeing people run past into the "Wizard" mission area, which seems a pretty useless place...

    Most places infrastructure taxes are paid for via stuff that's unavoidable - like sales tax, gas tax, tolls and the like. Services are where they get a "free ride" in such cases though.

    They didn't say they "can't figure it out" they said that the data is too hard to parse out of some already hard data to parse like tax numbers.

    Pretty sure that the intent was for each "world section" in Destiny was supposed to be about equivalent to one "Mission Area" in Borderlands. Look at the quest and mob density and it's pretty similar. And there's been no confirmation that 16 missions is the limit - nor that every area will be...

    Only seeing new areas so far - not seeing anything that jumps out as "better graphics quality" in just pure quality terms (although I'm not sure that's even possible) - but there does seem to be a ton more movement from wind and such, and they do some really closeup zooms of the Fallen or...

    Depends on the specific missions - the tissue paper armor that it had for the fighting missions was no fun. (Although fortunately it seemed to not get any worse on higher difficulties - insanity it was still wimpy, but not any more wimpy)

    The problems I had with the Mako drops were twofold: 1) So much empty space on the planets 2) Shitty controls The concept of the Mako was great, the execution not so much - one of which needed to be a tripling of content density or something - even if it's just interesting rocks or...
