This makes me pretty wary of the future of gaming. I'm not opposed to subscription-based gaming in general.  I love PS+.  Not only do I get to play games for "free", but I more than make up for the cost of it with the savings from their sales. 

I'm also not opposed to a Netflix-type subscription, where you pay a monthly fee for an unlimited access to a bunch of games. As much as I love buying and owning DVDs of my favorite movies, I still watch the hell out of Netflix.  

 What makes me wary is that this subscription is for EA games only. Although Netflix doesn't have every single movie ever made, it's still got a huge selection from a great variety of companies.  If EA's model is successful, other companies might follow.  And then there is a likelihood that all these companies will take their games off of PSN and the XBox store and you'll only be able to play them through subscriptions through companies. So in order to play any game you want to you'll have to be paying a monthly subscription to maybe a dozen different companies every month.  Hopefully this will never happen, but I am kind of worried that this might be the path that games take.

I'll probably finish up SMT Digital Devil Saga 2 (I've been grinding in the final dungeon over the last couple days), and play some more Shovel Knight and maybe Strange Journey on the 3DS.  Maybe play a little more Far Cry 3, but I've been having trouble getting into that game for some reason.  I've also been watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix, so we'll probably finish that up.

For the more boring stuff, I also plan on sealing up my crawlspace vents with foam board, getting new AC filters, and probably shopping for a suite for my upcoming wedding.

I still love the Descendents.

I always wish I got more into skating when I was younger.  My brother was really into it when we were kids (and still kind of is) and I loved everything about it, but I was just never good and gave up way too early.

I recently watched some old skateboarding movies that I loved as a kid (like the Bones Brigade movies) and while they are cheesy as hell, they are still fun to watch.

I'm looking forward to playing it again. I still have my original cd-rom of it (somewhere), but I doubt it would work on a modern computer.  Although it's not my favorite classic adventure game (that would probably be Day of the Tentacle or one of the Space Quests), I still really enjoyed it.  And it's probably one of the most accessible for modern console players. 

Again, no worries.  Apology accepted.  It happens to us all. 

Of course.  No worries.  If  I came across as an asshole, I apologize also.

Yeah, as I said above, I actually sometimes get in arguments with women in the real-world (not the crazy, mostly anonoymous internet), including my girlfriend, when I think feminists take it too far.  And they never take it as far as some sites on the internet, which just get ridiculous.  I hate stupidy and selfishness on all sides.

 But yeah, I would be less apologitic about arguing with Ben if I actually had more interaction with him, but I  realize that I read and consider opinions on this site way more than I actually comment on it, so most don't know me as a person.  I don't want to piss him (or anyone) off due to some misunderstanding that I am attacking him as a person.  So yeah, I get serious and boring when I argue on the internet, simply because I don't like upsetting people and go out of my way to try and not to.  Fucking boring.  Fuck him :P

Where did I say that?  Are you just trolling me now?

If this is a reply to me, then no, I don't see it as feminists=good guys, etc.  I was reacting to the meme.  I always find it funny when people complain about others complaing about something.  Especially when they take it so far to say their time could be better spent doing something else.  Because both are doing the exact same thing-complaing on the internet.

 My comment below takes it a little further, and maybe you were commenting about that.  And still, no, I don't think feminists=good guys, etc.  As I said, there are many assholes who take it way too far.  But I stand by my statement that basically said that if any man thinks he has it so bad that he has to organize to fight for his rights, then he is completely brain-dead if he doesn't understand why some women do too.

 It's not a black and white issue.  I actually argue with feminists about gender issues in real life, including my long-term girlfriend.  But at the end of the day we respect each other.  There are fewer people with crazy, one-sided views as the internet leads you to believe.  It brings the crazy out in people.  And in this space right here and right now, I probably come across as more on the uber-feminist side soleley because except for this blog from blake, it's a side that is rarely represented in blogs from this site.  It's usually from the other side and has a chorus of people agreeing with it. 

 But yeah, please don't think I'm just attacking your opinions.  I don't usually comment about stuff like this, and am mostly just doing it now because I'm drunk and felt like actually sticking up for the side that my sympathies usually lie with in arguments like this.  But please understand, if I was actually commenting in a thread that was all about how men suck and women rule, I would be arguing against them too.

Sorry about your team, but yeah, you should still feel proud. 

Similarly, I was really dissapointed about USA going out, but still really happy they did so well.
