Yea, I listened to Gamesradar too. I even had an account over there once. It's probably still there. I was MyFaceHurts. I still listen to the podcast, it's fine, just not as funny as it was.
I've been listening to the Idle Thumbs podcast. I have to check out this Wizard Jam thing.
These sales keep happening. I think I have to stop following them and get stricter.
Mortal Dictata. It references a protocol for a code of ethics in the Halo Universe that prohibits flash cloning. The story was about one of the Spartans and how she was removed from her family and replaced by a clone that quickly died, as they all do. Her father became an insurrectionist and Kilo-5, of which this spartan is a member, has to stop him, and, of course, she has to face her origins. So there are a lot of moral dilemas in the book.
Wiki had long lists of books up until the most recent five years or so, and then they got really short. Not sure why.
I like how science evolves too. No dogma putting a halt to new ideas.
I read Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor this year. It made the prospect of stock trading look pretty risky unless you really know a lot, and even then it's hard to predict. Super interesting book though. Written way back but still considered important today.
I think I got Lost Via Domus for a buck. There ya go. Coolness awaits.
Glad to hear you liked 2014.
I want to play those games too. Evolved is considered a spin-off title because it's a 3rd person shooter.
I just noticed that Gary Schyman (Destroy All Humans, Bioshock, and Shadow of Mordor) did the music!
I got all 8 core Giants characters listed on the wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Skylanders_characters#Giants).
From what I've read, Skylanders is pretty good at not making you buy characters to unlock anything essential. You can complete the games with the starter pack characters. It's just that you get extra content, and some special items, if you have certan characters, but they aren't a necessity.
I'll never own a car over 200k miles ever again. I've already planned to sell my current car at 200k which will happen about 5 years from now, unless I change jobs by then.
I was way into astronomy a few years ago. I got to the point where I wanted to take classes, then I wondered if it was a good investment. Maybe if I was in my 20s, but not now. I should be interested in the Pluto stuff that just came out, but I'm annoyed that I can't actually study it.
Last gen games are at rock bottom prices right now. I'm wondering when Gamestop will stop shelving them, but I think I have enough games at the moment. I got to avoid those sales for a while.
