    Overused phrases that you use

    That seems pretty straightforward. That's my code phrase on conference calls for "you should be able to handle this without bothering me"

    Neverwinter: PC

    I don't recall any dry spots myself. And I didn't do any skirmishes on my first character. Unfortunately the game has gotten so dreadfully boring now I see no reason to log back in.

    The Wolverine

    You have touched on the very basis of what is wrong when people who love a book/comic source material go to see the movie/TV show made from it. At this part they aren't re-writing fundamental character traits of stories. They are simply telling the cinematic universe version of that characters...

    Investing for the downfall of civilization.....

    That's the general angle I was looking at. WalMart, plus manufacturers of cheap but popular foods (think sugary cereals). My wife agrees that certain overlap will exist with the vicex fund , notable tobacco and booze/beer. APPL won't make it for one simple reason. People on welfare and...

    Investing for the downfall of civilization.....

    Recently I have been analyzing some different investment options. My personal opinion is that the bull market is going to recede some soon so it won't be as easy to just "throw money at about any stock" and make money. Looking into some of them I ran across theVice Fund, which as the name...

    Myself, easily... Then after a flurry of insane executive orders, questionable presidential pardons, and looting the white house I would find some patsy to stick with it. If you could make one major modification/rule change to any professional sport what and why?

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    My wife and I have actually discussed this very topic. We would opt for the stealth approach. And the saddest part is... it's because we know how our families would react. How long is your list of people who would be dead if you didn't think you'd get caught killing them?

    "Hair of the dog" is a myth. THe best helper is to remember to take a couple advil (or other NSAID anti-inflammatory) and drink a big ass glass of water BEFORE you go to sleep after drinking. Better pet... Dog or Cat?

    The Wolverine

    Just saw this with the wife. Personally, this was a FAR better movie than the first one (Origins). I'm starting to think that Jackman is to Wolverine what RDJ is to Iron Man. Plot was good and actually stayed just close enough to comic canon to keep me from having too much brain itch. Liked...

    There's already been one of these. It was a MMO where they literally created new land masses (including an orbital space station) and sold the virtual land to players and it included an RMT means to buy things. But curse my advancing senility I can't remember the name. I played it briefly...

    First and foremost I would pay cash money for this mount if when standing still the "jump" (i.e. space bar) made it rear up into a middle finger stance. As for cash shops... What's the difference between paying $15 a month for a subscription and paying $15 a month for currency to use in the...

    Went with the wife. Solid movie. I'd give it an 8/10. Wife puts it more around a 9/10. She puts this at third behind Avengers and IM1. Only things I didn't like really were the darker outfit (I know, everything has to be darker and grittier now.. yadda yadda yadda) They could have done...

    Now You See Me

    I can pretty much ditto this review. It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it was enjoyable. And the ending was one neither my wife nor I guessed or saw coming. And of course, as usual, they pay Morgan Freeman to explain everything (to a certain degree).
