Sanford's series is set in Minnesota.  Maybe it is the same one.  He has two series which intermingle based around Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers.
Sorry, I meant finishing as in writing his own books.

I'm going to pick up the latest Sanford novel for my parents for Christmas and then I'll subsequently borrow it from them sometime there after.  His books are the first serious cop drama in any format that I actually enjoy.  The bad guys in those books are usually pretty well developed and often disturbingly psychotic.
On a related note, my dad has finished or is close to finishing a cop drama set in the Midwest. He loves the genre and used to be an LA cop. Exciting.

Whelp, the ending to Pokemon Y was somewhat contrived and easy to see coming, but it did get to me. Now to play the real game on multiplayer, I guess. Also I caved and bought a link between worlds.
Yes, well it is a Pokemon game.

That doesn't make it a reboot.  The events of the first two games still happened, and the later games do occasionally refer to them.
Shh, it's a reboot. And I have no idea that it refers to them so it is basically a stand alone.

I would definitely be into a FES book club.

I recently read Cold Mountain. I think it captured the TN hills pretty well. It was like a Confederate soldier's Odyssey.

I play it as a reboot. I haven't played F1 or 2. People have told me not to bother.

No. I was playing Pokemon Pearl just a couple of months ago and gave up cause I hate grinding, I beat Pokemon Y without fainting once. Definitely not a kid vs. adult situation. The game is just too easy.

Or maybe you got better at selecting the correct option given four
Nah, I was playing Pokemon Pearl just a few months ago and I was having to grind my pokemon to level up since the Elites' pokemon were stronger than mine when I got to them.

Pokemon is so damn easy now. The singleplayer used to be a bit of a challenge when you hit a gym leader that countered your lineup or battled your rival in the late game. Now every gym leader has like 3 pokemon that I one shot, and my rival isn't any different. You'd also get stuck on certain puzzles in your journey that you had to figure out, now there's a ridiculous amount of hand holding.

The game looks great and plays well but it's disappointing that I have to go online to get a real challenge.
It is tons easier. The pokemon level up a lot faster and I didn't once faint during the league battles. Too easy really.

Original post from the old thread:

So yes, I decided I had to make another general thread because I'm tired of sitting there thinking of whether or not I should make an entire thread about a game just because I want to say something about it. Of course, specialized threads for specific games and series are still great if you want to talk about them, but here's a place where you can just comment on something you're playing, something you just played, or whatnot.

I'm resurrecting this one because I had just recently posted that I started playing Baldur's Gate multiplayer with A&A. The game itself is fun, but the damn thing keeps crashing to the point of being impossible to play. It's very upsetting.

I really hope it's a new Fallout game as well.

liked those shit movies.

u wot m8. Some of them were terrible and all of them were dumb as shit, but a few were at least enjoyable. No, he wasn't the greatest actor ever, but he was apparently a nice dude to work with.

Also, he wasn't driving.
I know he wasn't, but as a passenger he could have told the guy to slow down.

THEREFORE IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT
Whatevah brah, if I'm in a car with someone going way too fast I'll tell them to slow the fuck down cause I don't want to die in a fiery explosion. At least he died quickly. People always get way too sad over celebrities' deaths. A New York train derailed today killing 4 and injuring 63, that's way more news worthy and upsetting than an attractive, rich man dying in a car wreck.

Why can't I be sad about both?
I didn't say you couldn't.

I would be sad anytime I saw someone was in a wreck this bad.


You know what I think? Thankfully the reckless asshole didn't run into anyone else.

I've been on the receiving side of too many car wrecks to feel bad for anyone who is speeding, not paying attention, or is driving under the influence.
