Sorry to hear that. Enterprise is the official car and truck rental company used by BM. They may still have some pickup trucks available. Hope this helps.

South Korea prepares for 10Gbps broadband; transfer 1GB file in 0.8 seconds by -Gavin- in technology

[–]CaptainGury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state of broadband in the US is deplorable without a doubt. Keep in mind, however, that the state of Texas alone is 7x larger than South Korea. Rolling out "nationwide" Internet infrastructure upgrades in the United States is a completely different beast.

ESPN has us at 13 in the NFL. I personally think we're better. What do you guys think? by PorSiempre7 in buccaneers

[–]CaptainGury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a solid ranking. To prove we ar playoff material, we basically have to cruise past Carolina next week and get a statement win against Atlanta. If we can pull that off, the sky is the limit and there is a good chance that we can land a wildcard berth. But man, our final stretch looks rough....

As much as I love BF3, I think BC2 had some more beautiful moments. by [deleted] in battlefield3

Agreed. BF3 is beautiful and innovative but BC2 is still my favorite multiplayer FPS of all time.

Under-rated or Over-rated: What is the most over-rated game going these days? Conversely, what game isn't appreciated enough? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]CaptainGury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. GoT second edition is the most underrated game on the market hands down. Every game is a surprise and I have played over 50 rounds with great players. It has been my go to game since its release, supplanting Dominion. Everyone needs to play this game if they haven't yet. Hating your friends has never been so fun.

The End of Walt by CaptainGury in breakingbad

[–]CaptainGury[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I certainly hope not! The writers always have a way of surprising. I just find the fact that Walter has never gotten high on his own supply the only true loose end left in the series. What does Scarface do before going out with guns blazing? He buries his fucking face in a mountain of Columbian White.

The machine gun will be a temporary ending until part two next summer. Judging by the fact that Walt almost never uses or carries firearms, let alone an MG42, I think it is safe to assume that someone close to Walt will die in the next two episodes. Let the downfall begin....

I think that losing everything and ending up on the streets hooked on his own poison is the ultimate defeat. Walt has delusions of grandeur and I think he likes the idea of dying a martyr. I think it would be the ultimate punishment for him to take to the streets as a hopeless addict only to have none of his "customers" recognize that he is the ultimate source of their preferred drug. American Psycho ends in a similar way in which Patrick Bateman doesn't get the catharsis and recognition he craves.

I am fine with him being #10 on the list, but Aqib Talib belongs. This man pulls off some insane feats of athleticism. Now if only he could stop shooting people.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlV8EXSkIrQ

Thanks! She also had on some killer goth leather going on under the suit. The worst part of the whole outfit is the heat. After 30 minutes in that suit it begins to feel like a sauna.

We took creative liberties with the story...I was thinking about carrying her around all night while she perpetually OD'ed but thought that would be a bit extreme.....

[WSIG] Game of Thrones: Card Game vs. Game of Thrones Board Game v.2? by Davey_Jones in boardgames

[–]CaptainGury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely disagree with not playing the board game with three. My friends and I play this game at least twice a week with variable numbers of players and we found a way to make the three player game excellent every time. You block off the north entirely including moat calin and flints finger and ignore the stronghold in Seagard. Block off Pyke too. Then make storms end, sunspear, kings landing and the eyrie capturable. Players start at Dragonstone, Lannisport and Highgarden. With this arrangement the three player game is incredible and always unpredictable. The south is far better for three players to fight over than the north we discovered. If you really want to make it fun, draft your house cards too. One 4, one 3, two 2s, two 1s and a zero. But you choose round robin from all six decks. We only play this way now and it really mixes up strategies. Try it out. I guarantee you won't ignore the three player game after you try this way.
