Likely there was a Trayvon part to it, absolutely - but as they say two wrongs don't make a right - Zimmerman absolutely did a number of things wrong (against protocol and instruction). [Frankly, I don't even feel "manslaughter" myself - like reckless endangerment and a ban for life from NW...

NW protocol absolutely states a GUN SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED. And under his own statements he confronted him (in addition to the retarded girlfriend) - so unless we're not even believing Zimmerman now...

"Don't pursue" is not "stay back" it's don't pursue. I've been quoted by the folks at Wilmer (eye section of John's Hopkins) as being in the top 0.1% for vision that Wilmer has seen [Dr. Maumanee actually quoted BEST period - but my replacement since her retirement is less bold] and Legal...

It's a question of motivation and how he confronted - if someone is ignoring protocol on one side, why should you expect them to obey protocol on "not being aggressive", "not showing a weapon" or other if's that might have occurred? He's breaking rules on one thing, but he's expected to stick...

Ahhhh - caught up on it - he was declined in another in 2008 and 2009 and then started his own NW chapter.... and he disobeyed the instructions from the PD in how a NW role should operate that they instructed him in when it was established...

He may have been - just sick of the "Neighborhood Watch Captain" meme going through this thread - he was captain only to himself, he was not part of any group of folks that did it - and in fact ignored the rules of his communities NW group.

Note: He was never admitted into the neighborhood watch - he was a WANNABE neighborhood watchman self-appointed by himself.

For 500 GB don't need to do anything - there's an upper limit that they have I think at 2 TB or something like that though. And even those work they just don't see the extra space. [Like back in the day when you put a drive that was too big on a PC - drive still functioned just didn't get the...

LOL at that fan.... Is that gonna be slow as shit or we gonna have jet engine syndrome?

I agree with Azeth's take on my IMPRESSION of things, but it's hard to say with absolute certainty what happened - there's plenty of "if" wiggle-room for a small detail to change things. In a perfect sensible world however, Zimmerman would've just stayed back as instructed by both the...

Nod - the PS3 OS does seem to catch it at times too to do it as well though. After I swapped the disk back in for my old (now wife's PS3) PS3 it caught that the disk needed to be reformatted and partitioned and did it auto - it had not been doing it previously however. [And I was thinking it was...

The formatting is weird - I forget which format type you have to stick to, but it only acknowledges one type. But in theory yes.

Vertical stand included this time? They've started to show alot of stuff with it and really looks pretty like that. (Although with previous cat issues.... probably won't stand it regardless)

Middle name IRL (and grandfather's first) and preferred EQ character name until people got too used to Aszuth.

You don't think that? There's a reason why it's called the "fight or flight" response. Not everyone says "Oh shit, get away", some are wired to go "Oh, shit it's on - gotta take them out first"

Context matters as well as tone - if he said it in a polite tone with non-aggressive posture its one thing, if he said it in an aggressive tone with his jacket pulled aside to show his gun - it's a completely different ball of wax saying the same words.

From what I've gathered from lawyers elsewhere on that subject is it depends on if people have left the "location". But the "location" can be pretty wide or narrow as the case may be - in this case does the community count as the location, or just that specific group of townhomes?

Man, the wife is looking to lose a few pounds - I'll suggest this amazing new health revelation - 500 eye rolls a day does sound far more her speed than most things!

That's what I've been saying for a while elsewhere. (PS - no W in Wreckless for this context, no?)

Tomb of Giants is easy as long as you're not going full melee. Stuff in there ranges soooooo easy.

PS4 uses DX11 - and in fact has been stated to have 3 extra DX operations not in normal circulation yet or some such.

Supposedly, yes (although some saves are probably locked) - may just be easier if you're considering it to thumb drive the small files like saves and then just replace the drive and re-DL all the big files. (Or use the PS+ backup on save games ideally - not all saves are copiable under the...

It's too late for me to watch the video (and frankly for tech stuff I tend to zone out after a bit) - how does that compare to PC's "time to triangle"? Was that ever covered?

Yep, they're positioned well in all sorts of ways - and developers tend to follow momentum as well - so likely with how things are shaping up in the longrun we'll see preference on PS4 over X1 for developers once initial sales show that it's the larger installed playerbase which should keep...

The problem is the "IF" lots of stuff does seem to imply that, but "IF" is a good enough reason to land in court in some cases - but with most "IF" cases without witnesses it defaults to the defendant from what I've seen.

Interesting - I'd peeked at it a bit, so it is Descentish?

Hah - that's a great summary BoldW.

Except he wanted to be part of the neighborhood watch - and that neighborhood watch had two rules in the Trayvon incident he broke: 1) Don't carry a weapon is part of their charter or whatever, 2) As soon as you see something suspicious CALL THE COPS THEN WAIT AT THE FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY for...

If you're having trouble with the cursed doodads wearing off - you can just get cursed by the frogs in the sewers to be able to deal with the ghosts at all times. But it is better of course to get a feeling for their timer. You won't want to be cursed when you eventually fight the Kings.

Nov 10 -> Feb 7 according to Steam's dates. I thought they were closer than that though - but not sure there's any reason the Steam dates would be off. (Note referencing OFFICIAL ones, not playermade mods - I know those were out quickly - but I found their quality a tad random)

Some replays on PS3 to get platinum trophies on things I own on both can certainly hurt for sure. (XCOM:EU most recently)

Wow, some of those stats on the bottom part - 135/182 cases in FL that it's applied to the dead person was unarmed for example, pretty astonishing how loosely it's applied. And wow, even applied to a shootout between drug dealers where a little girl got caught in the crossfire. What...

Anyone mind translating that to English? Something about paying her phone, but once I get to the second line the shitty grammar could be read multiple ways.

I was channeling my inner Samuel L. Jackson

Citizen's arrest requires witnessing a crime actually committed last I checked. I can't just be like "Hey, there's a dude who looks fishy - CITIZENS ARREST MUTHAFUCKA!"

Next gen will make hi-res packs obsolete though, they'll actually be exceeding the average PC specs for such - so that will cease to be a difference now. And I wouldn't call HiRes packs as an "early adopter" thing - they weren't out for something like two months.

There's a world of difference between calling the cops and letting them deal with it (as the 911 operator suggestion stated) and doing it yourself after calling them.

Odd, had the opposite experience with the phone support myself - and they've actually (in warranty but my own fault for having it in a spot where a cat could push it off - most warranties would've told me tough luck) replaced a system for me with a brand new one when the cat pushed it out of the...

Conveniently for most people? Amongst other things keeping a keyboard for use while on the couch is a royal pain in the ass to most people (and not even an option for people that use gaming keyboards since they're all wired). I understand you can put together a convenient means to do it, but...

That would entirely depend on his PC wouldn't it? Do we know his PC is beastly? And regardless some things like control scheme and being more sensible to play from a couch can outweigh PC vs. Console differences.
