Good movie. Not quite top tier since the middle runs a bit long, but very watchable and worth your time.

Well, it's part of the Ezio Collection, but
Assassin's Creed 2

It hasn't aged well. The controls are kind of poop. When you're trying to jump from one spot to another, sometimes Ezio flies off in another direction entirely. That's meant falling from rooftops, landing on top of people and riling up the guards, and failing chase sequences. There were also the times Ezio climbed down a ladder only to climb back up a few steps when he reached the bottom, or ran up walls when I was trying to get him to turn and run. There's also some ear-splitting music, which I wound up turning down.

I'm not sure whether I should move on to Brotherhood or play a different game/series entirely for a bit.

Celine.

4. I've got a lot wrong with my life, but I'm holding out hope that there'll be a breakthrough in my career once I've gotten my masters degree.

I've been waiting for Yo, Mario!, Nintendo's take on the 1990's hip hop scene.

It's over and done with. I managed to land a job in spite of them, and I've been doing quite well at my new job.

Sure, there is. You can fill out an application, do well on the testing, and then discover in your interview that your previous employer isn't abiding to the terms of your separation agreement and is instead telling people that they fired you.

Years ago, people called this the Mickey Mouse law because Disney had such a big hand in the copyright extensions. We've lost some creative works because of excessive copyright law, and that's a damn shame.

I don't know how many of you were ever into the webcomic Sluggy Freelance or how many of you have stayed with it over the years, but if you haven't been in a while then this week's a big one. There's been a major reveal over the Oasis character. I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who might be interested, but it's at www.sluggy.com if you want to read it.

I bought a Hauppauge 1212 and the first 5 DBZ movie set for $8 each the other week.

And you wonder why they're closing?

There's a video somewhere of some hippos saving a gazelle from a crocodile. That was pretty cool, too.

Yes. I didn't have this problem before, but the advent of digital games has made it feel cumbersome. That, and I've got a very cluttered game space and I have to go at an awkward angle to insert and retrieve discs.

I was going to respond with a quote from the show, and I realized just before hitting post that the quote I was going to use was from Tiny Toons instead. =x

Need a Tiny Toons revival too. My childhood must return in full.

Tiny Toons was boring and preachy. Animaniacs wasn't as preachy and was less afraid to take risks.

This does't answer the important question: Will they keep in the "while Bill Clinton plays the sax" line?

They replaced that line with, "We pay lots of income tax," back when the show was first on the air.

If everything goes according to plan then I'll have a master's degree in health information management in about 4 1/2 months. I took my elective classes classes in IT project management and in change leadership because I'd hoped that the knowledge would get me into a department that would in turn get me the experience I needed to move into a project management position.

That opportunity really hasn't happened yet, and I've found out that my company wants people with a PMP certification for those positions. I'm a little frustrated, but I'm also not ready to give up.

The certification requires roughly 2 years of full time experience in project management. I have no real experience in the field, just some classroom studies. I'm not even sure if my studies would count because my degree is entirely online.

So, those of you with a PMP: how do you get a foot in the door? What counts toward the learning requirements? Finally, how do you record all of that to meet the requirements?

40 isn't so bad. Now you've got legal protection against age discrimination in hiring practices. (I haven't needed it, and I hope I never do.)

the 80's outfit doesn't really look like a 80s outfit, it's just something cindi lauper, a person who was alive in the 80s, wore

The big hair and party dress were real, they just weren't something women would normally wear on the street.

Of the styles shown, 1945 does classy right.

Just got done watching it. I liked Finn and Rose, they're obviously trying to develop something there so that Rey's character doesn't necessarily have a romantic subarc with Finn. That lets Rey develop in other, less traditional ways for a female character. (Rose's actress was obviously having a lot of fun with her role, which I think really helped.)

Bitter old Luke? I think it worked. He never got to lesson 3 with Rey, so he'll probably come back as a spooky ghost and tell her in the next movie.

"Learned" is being generous, but I did try to learn a few instruments.

"Try" is being generous, because I half assed it and didn't really practice.

This might help:

You're either a rebound or her bit on the side. Probably not good for a relationship, but I don't know if that's what you're after.

Season's Greetings.

What do you recommend for people who've never played MH Multiplayer? My runs on the 3DS usually include the dual blades and the great sword, but I'm told that certain combos are terrible for multiplayer. I'm not against learning a new weapon, when it comes down to it.

The games are as good as ever. You're just older.

You're older than you've ever been, and now you're even older.

And now you're even older. And now you're even older.

Was a little sad to see this is the only thread on the board. Here I was hoping this game would really catch on with the board but going by this it seems not too many people care about the beta, at least. :(

Not the beta, no. I have the game preordered and I've got a 1 year PSN membership code waiting in the wings for just this purpose. I've never done multiplayer, so this should be fun.

I went with a gift card to a bookstore for my niece.

I wasn't aware that this had sold enough to warrant a re-release.

Of course, neither did Radiant Historia but I plan on buying the hell out of that.

I'd love 57 degree weather right now. It's colder here. With that said, I have respect for people who live in even colder areas. Minnesota, for example. The kind of cold where you're afraid you're going to die running between your car and a building at a rest stop.

Lovely. I'm a little concerned that the thumping noise when the lady drops may get a little off-putting after a while.

I know it's a really mainline choice, but I think No Man's Sky is unmatched in my personal gaming experience. I imagined I would put in a hundred or more hours on it, and in the end I think I topped out at 3.

This. I've had a lot of disappointments, but this one hurt the worst. I can't bring myself to go back to it, even though people say the new material improves it.

I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, but one guy I knew in high school won an Emmy for his writing on a Simpsons episode. A lady I kind of knew from a younger age does... IMDb calls it visual design, mostly, but she works on movies including the Marvel franchises. Then a lot of people earned doctorates and work as college professors.

Honestly, for all the smoke my teachers blew up my ass I've turned out to be a disappointment. I've still got an estimated 30 years left in my career and I'm nearly finished with my Masters, so maybe I can pull something off. Not Emmy award winning, but something.

Brings a tear to my eye ff12 so good

I bought the remake, but I seem to have misplaced it before I could actually... even open it, come to think of it. Where the hell did I put it?

I sincerely hope you and the rest of your family are ok.

Most of the time I can finish my business in a few minutes. However, I am old and there are times that the timer runs longer.

$10 million doesn't fix regret. I'd take the do-over.

Global warming, excuse me for not trusting temperature measurements from 1906. Excuse me for not trusting temperature measurements from when we **** in the woods.

If his family was still shitting in the woods in 1906 that would explain a lot.

Indoor plumbing wasn't a thing for a lot of families for a very long time. If you were poor or in a rural location, you'd be going to the outhouse.

Have you ever been to a concert before? They're not late.. they're waiting for the place to fill up. No headliner is going to start "performing" to a half full theater/arena/stadium.

Wait... why am I defending Bill O'Reilly?

Just think of it as taking one for Anagram's edification.

Either that, or you're the only one who hasn't been drinking.

Wouldn't you be drinking if the only gig you could get was introducing Bill O'Reilly?

Punnyz. (He may not like me, but I like him.)

Dennis Miller is funny. He had a show some years back.

Anagram posted...

OReilly is twenty minutes late now

That's hubris. He's not important enough to be late.

Compare it to more recent installments. The whole R2 submenu is unnecessary.

I just started the AC2 remaster. Was there ever a good reason for the controls to be this convoluted? Three missions in (still tutorials) and I'm already sick of it.

Also burns on the back end. Just saying.

Red Dwarf. It's a British Sci-Fi comedy that's had a few runs since 1988. They just finished airing Series 12.

It's hard to explain the show without spoiling a few episodes, but it was funny enough for Patrick Stewart to become a fan right as he was about to call his lawyer to sue them for copying Star Trek.

I remember that topic

I don't think anybody knew what you were talkin about

I still don't

Right, so there's this brand of chips called Paqui. They use hot peppers as a major ingredient. They have a promotion where you could either buy (now sold out) or win a chip that used the Carolina reaper pepper. There's a contest where you can win a year's supply of their regular chips and a neon sign.

I wasn't interested in the contest, but I wanted to try the chip. Now I have.

greengravy294 posted...

hook me up dawg

There's only the one chip at a time. I won a second one a couple of days later, but that's going to my cousin's (adult) son.

I posted that I'd won a Carolina Reaper chip from Paqui last month. (Those unfamiliar: http://paqui.com/onechipchallenge/ )

It came, I ate it. Yes, it's hot. I teared up and got a runny nose. The people who whoop and scream and flip their arms around are either wimps or just overselling it. But it's hot, and it lingers. As you can imagine, the burning happens at your lips, your gums, your tongue, and your throat.

Worth mentioning that it's also sweet, just like the Internet descriptions say. The flavor is fleeting, though, so it's not like eating a candy bar.
