    The Walking Dead

    The only "bad choice" you can make where you die is where you don't shoot the zombies in the head when they come at you. Or where you don't see that you need to pick up the screwdriver to stab them in the eye. There are no other "bad choices" you can make. Every choice leads to the same outcome.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    You guys are pretty angry over getting games for 50-75% off just because they're 51-76% off somewhere else. Lemme know when we're back to paying $60 for games and don't have a choice and maybe I'll work up some rage to join you. It's basic business. If you are selling a mass fuckload of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That's not an accurate assessment at all. Are you saying James Cameron did not go down to the Mariana Trench? Are you saying Voyager hasn't left the influence of the sun? I mean, thepossibleapplications of some of the tech may be overstated, but there's nothing in there that is premature...

    Album of the Year (2012)

    Pretty slow year for metal. Dethalbum 3 was probably the biggest disappointment of the year...just generic "collect a paycheck" type shit that will prevent me from buying a Dethalbum 4. Might have to bend the rules a bit, but I'd have to say I probably listened to Imaginaerum from Nightwish...

    The Walking Dead

    I thought the characters were shallow as shit. No matter what choices you make, no one changes their opinions of you enough to matter. You can help Kenny out all fucking game and you still need to scrap with the fucker at times, and he still cries like a little bitch every time you tell him to...

    Left 4 Dead 2 Revival

    If by better, you mean no game ever finished because any time any team actually completed a map, the other team immediately quit. It was nothing but a waste of time if you didn't have a dozen like minded friends to play with.

    Blood Bowl

    Hard is widely regarded as the easiest difficulty setting, because hard actually adjusts the AI to be more conservative and more risk averse. Therefore, if you apply a lot of pressure on them, they're likely to run backwards rather than forwards, because they don't want to lose the ball...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    This stereotype is extremely accurate. The one I dated wouldn't fuck me, because that was wrong, but she'd do everything else, all the fucking time. My dick was sore for 2 weeks.

    Blood Bowl

    I can churn thru a SP game in 30-45 minutes, mostly because the AI doesn't give you too much you really need to work against. I block, I move the ball, I foul, next turn. But vs other people, I think that match above with Obilio was like an hour and a half. Gets intense when you know that...

    Insomnia

    I started working overnights the year after I got out of high school, and I also moved out on my 18th birthday, with my entire senior year left. So basically I was apartment dwelling for 11ish years there, and during that entire time I suffered from pretty much daily insomnia. It's how I met...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It would absolutely not be better. There would be millions upon millions of under/uninsured people because no one thinks that shit can happen to them. I certainly did not think I needed a $14000 appendectomy when I had what by all accounts to me appeared to be some stomach cramping and a mild...

    Do you have health insurance?

    You'll get no argument from me on the matter, but unfortunately, single payer got shot down because people don't want socialism. So it is what it is. There's a sizable portion of my colleagues that agree as well, but for some fucking reason, here we are. Lost a week of vacation, lost 17 sick...

    Do you have health insurance?

    You're just not getting it. I'm telling you that I have worked for exactly 1 company who paid out money that they would have otherwise spent on health benefits if you didn't take said benefits. My wife gets health insurance as part of her package too, we don't use it, and we're not signed up...

    So I had a fantastic match with Obilio last night, my orcs vs his lizardmen. After the conversations on here and in IRC with a lot of the new guys having some questions about positioning and strategy and tactics, I felt this was an excellent match to put up to get the inexperienced players...

    Companies are sitting on the largest stockpiles of money ever and wages are stagnant. What's the reason they're not paying people more?

    Left 4 Dead 2 Revival

    That doesn't matter for campaign, which it sounds like they're doing. Campaign on advanced is actually pretty damned well balanced for 4 average joes. Expert tends to get a little ridiculous, and normal is just a snorefest.

    You are still the only team there. Still need 2-3 more, but I figured the holidays were interfering with stuff, so was gonna give it a little bit here.

    Str? Very rarely. The only time I wouldn't guaranteed take STR is on a big guy, because str means doubles 6's and that means block. And if he has block, it means pro (which means less failed negatrait rolls). Even so...I had a 6 str minotaur at one point, he blitzed 3 dice on everyone 3 str...

    Yeah, also remember that any surf casualties don't count too. There are just some players that won't level up very fast no matter what you do. Vs the AI, I feed stuff like Black Orcs/Chaos Warrior's TD's to get them up to Block/Mighty blow, then they work themselves out. In multiplayer...

    Do you have health insurance?

    That's covered by the company. Any comp claim doesn't go to my own insurance, it's covered 100% by the employer.

    My grandmother had a sign in her kitchen that said "Today's menu - Choice of 2. Take it or leave it." I have always stood by that stance with food. Don't wanna eat dinner? It's a long time till morning.

    Do you have health insurance?

    What's your end goal here? Do you want us to all go to our employers and demand shittier health insurance? I'm trying to figure out what you want the world to do with your arguments here. Last I heard, it was around $800 a month for each of us for our health plans at the company, and that was...

    We're as lucky it's as good as it is. Cyanide's other games are fucking terrible. Even this one I think only has one programmer on it, and no artist left working there to finish up all the star players. That being said, I think Blood Bowl is a fantastic game, so I'm willing to overlook some...

    No option for email using this particular client. I've heard there are other ways, but with things like defenders choice dice, sidestep and injury rolls (apothecary?), it would take a good long while to play a game via email. The plan for the real league is to do 1 game a week. Should be...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It's not lost on me at all, if you're directing that at me. Did you not see how I said we gave up shit for it? I know it's coming out of our total package. That doesn't lead me to believe that each of us would get paid an extra $1000 a month if we didn't have it, however. That's the...

    Never played tabletop, got into the game in the online version a year or so ago. I can see how tabletop would have kind of a Risk feel -- sit around with your buddies and laugh when he rolls trip 1's, but in all honesty, the RNG is actually better in this game than any set of dice are, so I...

    That's how they get you. Separate you out into different classes, then just hit one class at a time. Piss of the 50 guys downstairs? Np, as long as we make the contract decent enough for the other 500 guys, they'll vote yes on it. I specifically enjoy the contract that passed 500-100, with...

    Our contract is up this year too, and the company will cave if we don't. Unfortunately, we've got a lot of pussies who are willing to sell the farm away. They talk a big talk, and then all go vote yes on whatever bullshit proposal the company offers up. It's how we lost the 5th week of...

    Do you have health insurance?

    They're definitely not deducting money. Union plan. The union gave up a lot of shit to keep the full company paid health care over the last 10 years or so, but it is definitely full company paid. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I get the argument that opening the door to paying money...

    Do you have health insurance?

    Full company paid health care. We've got a $20 co-pay for office visits, $100 deductible per person, per year, $1000 deductible for major surgery. No options. You just get it.

    Do you have health insurance?

    Been at my job for 9. Health care is no cost, $100 deductible for office visits yearly, $1000 deductible for major surgery. So in the just over 9 years, I've spent, uhh...probably $3000 total. No doubt we could probably make more money without it, but I highly doubt it would come close to...
