    Already having a new employer policy in 3.5m cases or so. Its a figure in a vacuum ignoring new policies generated. Its not a net figure.

    You do realize the 4m figure includes employers that CHANGED insurance to another policy, right? Actual drop figure was under a half mil last I checked. Again, figures in a vacuum. Yes, 4m policies were dropped - but the majority were replaced.

    Wizardhawk's memorial thread (a cautionary tale of dental care and garlic)

    I meant that it was him but renamed with Lumie as his login still just aliased into Luminati to tease him. For example Zombie Thorne. Can't imagine its a name they took themselves.

    Doctor Who

    Its theory but it would make sense with the regen reset and picking a similar age actor though. When's the series start anyhow?

    Similar for me about a decade earlier (67 I think) but now its 60-69 D, 70-79 C, etc with 10 pt brackets.

    You're too old that's a D- in schools now. Barely passing but passing... Unless I'm completely brainfarting.

    Medicare isn't free and doesn't attach to the exchanges. If you mean Medicaid that might become partially valid, Medicaid in 30 states isboth unpaid and paid variants under the exchanges come Jan 13 or so. So not all of that figure would be 'free'.

    And isn't Lumie logging in under Lumie not Luminati isn't he/she/it?

    Doctor Who

    Capalldi's entrance seems to imply to me that he's gotten his brain reset back to Hartnell as well - since Hartnell didn't know how to pilot it for quite a while. Somewhat makes sense that the reset button would work that way, no?

    Computer Issues

    Flipped some stuff earlier with the machine when it comes to "sleep mode" stuff to basically completely axe sleep mode besides turning off the monitor signal - and no lockups yet. Got a feeling something is haywire with it going into and out of sleep mode. I really need to do a reformat on...

    RPGs of 2014

    Try Etrian Oddyssey IV (and presumably Untold as well - but don't own it yet) - it's pretty rough at points if you're not playing on Easy.

    Computer Issues

    So.... my PC recently has started locking up overnight with consistency, 90% of the time in standby 10% or so during actual use - and from what I can see it's not the CPU overheating, the fan is getting a little weak at times, but my heat monitor has it pegged at peaking at 115F at one crash and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    40GB is tiny for PS+ as a warning if we do end up doing it, probably about 5-6 games at a time and you'll be out of space (7GB is OS I think - and 5-7 isn't a rare game size). And it's $250 new for the Azurite w/ TLoU. (And I've been jonesing to rebuy it since it's pretty clear it's not coming...

    Rerolled Games of the Year - 2013

    For mine.... #1: Assassin's Creed IV - Explanation has already been done by enough people for me. #2: Bioshock Infinite - Sean covered my feelings pretty well. #3: Etrian Odyssey IV - Superb, nostalgic RPG to the old days of Might & Magic: Worlds of Xeen and the Wizardry that I'm playing...

    Keep getting tempted to get the Azurite Blue just because and replace the wife's with it. If I bite the bullet I'd let her old one (40 GB "Slim" model) pretty cheap - probably $100 + shipping.

    Got a 3-to-1 pigtail switch today from Amazon (for $7 including shipping! And apparently from the packaging from China since it had a Chinese customs stamp on the backside - must've been like $3 with $4 in shipping preincluded - and of course about 10 days ahead of their earliest estimate) and I...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Yea, that's sorta what I meant by "Aveline style" - definitely reads like its "Do one thing" SP missions to me.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Sean said it was the only thing. But looking at the press release it mentions single player missions in addition to MP and Adewale. So probably a few more Aveline style mini bits.

    How do you keep your discs? My first two (of three) 360 drive failures were attributed to cat hair getting into the unit from my damn cats using the 360 as a perch before I got an enclosure for it. (Old ent center was open air) Regardless unless you've been Godzilla'ing its warrantied.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Its been too long since I played to list it all - but letters of marque, variety of ships, leading a fleet, nonpiratical trading as an option, etc. SM Pirates was almost Tradewars or Elite ish... AC4 was wonderful but the kiddy pool version of things compared to the deep endoof the pool...

    Rogue Legacy

    Its also bring ported to PS4 in Feb or so likely as a PS+ freebie I'd wager. (Since Contrast was indie, Don't Starve for Jan confirmed for EU, seems to fit as another top notch indie)

    No... I... Haven't.... I think the ACA is deeply flawed in a number of ways for marginal improvement. This doesn't make realities like time tables adjusting being something they're not, or website issues being a tragedy, etc. If there was a sliding scale of -100% to +100% on feelings...
