    - So, they're going to be getting like 100mil flat out while the other 2 get like 50mil each? - Will Hunting Feb 12, 09:11 1
      - No, they pay it to Puerto Rico instead. -- nm - spamlet Feb 12, 09:16

  - I don't think it is his heart that he wants.....unless he is after his organs (31% probability) -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 09:06
- Haha! Nice try, sucker. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 09:01

ika question: Does anybody remember H U N T E R? He's offering a CT - Wasn't he a doofus? -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 08:56 3
- a CT is a CT :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 09:05
- Yes. There is growing evidence that our own 014 is actually Hunter. -- nm - Ultron Feb 12, 09:03 1

- the big question is how are the legs gonna be on this trainwreck? -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:42 17
  - Covered with whip marks? -- nm - Ultron Feb 12, 09:04
  - Vern Troyer sized legs. Valentine's Day films have horrible final multipliers. Worst of the year. This will be the extreme of that extreme. - Inigo Feb 12, 08:45 13
    - In HSX terms, I think it's both a huge long for adjust, and a slight short if you hold to delist. -- nm - Inigo Feb 12, 08:55 3
      - I'm holding it long at adjust, but with no real conviction. There's no past film to compare it to. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 08:56 2
        
        Oh, it's gonna adjust up a lot. It's just a question of how much. Buy the call and the option. -- nm - Inigo Feb 12, 08:59 1
        
        Thanks. I always forget those. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 09:00
    - So lets say it makes 90M - is that enough to continue making the next 2? -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:47 8
      - Like 90 million total, or 90 million this weekend? - Inigo Feb 12, 08:52

        50 shades of grey 3: the carpet maches the drapes -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:55
      - with worldwide BO and DVD sales, I'd say it is a given -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:50
      - I wonder how much they've spent on marketing. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 12, 08:48 1
        
        its a ton -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 12, 08:52

    - yeah, one of the biggest is my guess -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:45

- And that's including counting the cops! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 12, 08:49
- Nice! -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 08:46
- so, no need for detectives anymore right? -- nm - anti-vaxxers Feb 12, 08:45
- The minute the killer takes the stop murdering patch off his arm there's gonna be carnage. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 08:41 1

Good morning fellow non-millionaires :( Looks like we did about the same as usual... $55. - Meg Feb 12, 08:36 2
- Good luck to you and to us!! thanks for taking the time to do this for us. You are appreciated -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 12, 08:39
- But you guys make me a millionaire of the heart -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 08:37
If you're looking at Sling TV, they're giving away a streaming stick of your choice for signing up. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 12, 08:35
Kudos to WM for the messages and planning. Well done. It is appreciated. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 08:27 4
- Thanks. *so annoyed* that inactives are still around. - Ultron Feb 12, 08:29 3
  - ugh. that's not cool for the reason you mention. GF randomly screws the pooch it seems. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 08:52
  - 5 message limit on is some kind of bullshit too -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:33
  - Sounds like we got really lucky with the org move that we were able to largely control a territory. -- nm - spamlet Feb 12, 08:31
Thanks, DB! I'll have to check that out. - David Feb 12, 08:25

- 800 hours of a game designed to just give you stuff? - Will Hunting Feb 12, 08:35 13
  - [deleted]
  - it is like Borderlands with multiplayer. - groiny Feb 12, 08:37 10
    - But from Bungie. That makes a huge difference. It is not Borderlands to me, at all. -- nm - Ultron Feb 12, 09:03 2
      - it is from the aspect that the game revolves around the acquisition of armor and weapons. - groiny Feb 12, 09:05
      - Level 20 yet? -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:04
    - Yeah, which is honestly not something I could see myself doing more than a few times. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 08:38 5
      - There's also competitive multiplayer, ala Halo, but it's not as robust as far as the game modes. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:41 4
        
        I was quickly bored with Halo missions, but played the shit out of multiplayer..... - groiny Feb 12, 08:42 3
        
        Iron Banner looks to be coming back on the 17th. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:43 2
        
        I like it, but I can't possibly play it enough to get to level 4 -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:45 1
        
        With the buff you can buy every 12 hours, you should be able to, especially as it increases each day. - Shaun Feb 12, 09:00
    - It has it's issues, but Destiny is one of my fave games ever. My $/hour ratio is off the charts here and I am entertained for every minute. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:38
  - It's just totally alien to me to do *anything* over and over and over again for 800 hours -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:37
- shocker. hardcore grinders tired of grinding in grindy game -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 08:33
- He lost me at "This Nets game is amazing." -- nm - David Feb 12, 08:26 1
  - [deleted]
- I don't have the game, and don't have much time to play anymore, but it's weird that people are hitting 800 hours and mad that there isn't more - Reagen Feb 12, 08:25 1
  - Shaun's post below sums up this pretty much. "you've played 3+ hours a day for six months and now are tired of the game?" - Beaker Feb 12, 08:32
- that pretty much sums up why I'll never play the game. -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:17 4
  - Reddit counterpoint. - Shaun Feb 12, 08:21 2
    - Right....that's a friggin job and if the payouts are limited, it's bound to lose your interest. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 08:37
    - I am at 185 hours, I pretty much play from 9:00 til 11:30 nightly - groiny Feb 12, 08:26
  - it is a fine line between giving away rewards too easily, and making them fucking impossible. - groiny Feb 12, 08:20
- it will amp back up when the next DLC hits, and there will be more bitching. - groiny Feb 12, 08:15 25
  - I -just- beat VoG on Hard mode. - David Feb 12, 08:17 24
    - what level players were with you? -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:17 18
      - 4 32s, a 1 31 and a 30. - David Feb 12, 08:29 4
        
        the last part of the IM is not shocking to me at all. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:29 3
        
        Thanks for carrying me during Nightfall! - David Feb 12, 08:31 2
        
        I did the weekly last night, and it was tough. I am not sure if my weapons were not ideal for it. - groiny Feb 12, 08:34 1
        
        I joined a dude who was already at the Nexus. We stayed up top and than minotaur took all 3 of us unloading on him to take him down quickly. - Shaun Feb 12, 08:35
      - Knowing the mechanics are more important overall than pure levels. I've been on a team with 2 27s and we beat Atheon easily. - Shaun Feb 12, 08:23 12
        
        it is always the teleporting and killing oracles that fucks us up -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:24 11
        
        Get your shit tight! Sucks that you dismantled the AE. That thing is an oracle wrecking machine. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:27 10
        
        stop reminding me!!!! - groiny Feb 12, 08:28 9
        
        Brutal. Do you have a VoC or Corrective Measure, as I believe those alos have the oracle damage perk. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:29 8
        
        nope. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:29 3
        
        Just hammer them with a maxed primary and Golden Gun. 1 shot = 1 oracle in normal. Takes 2 on hard. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:31 2
        
        yeah, maxed hard light works fine on them. - groiny Feb 12, 08:36 1
        
        CLEANSE ME!!!!!! -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:37
        
        VoC is still my favorite primary. -- nm - David Feb 12, 08:29 3
        
        Aside from Gjallarhorn clearly, it's the only other weapon I truly want. I'm not counting the CE primaries as I have zero desire to play that on hard. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:30 2
        
        That's probably the next thing I try as it's the last biggie remaining. - David Feb 12, 08:32 1
        
        Buggy as hell plus all 6 members of the fireteam need to be 100% geared properly and not fuck up at all. It just doesn't sound fun to me. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:34
    - so, should we try it as a group this weekend? -- nm - Truman Feb 12, 08:17 4
      - Yes, the big thing is that when the legion spawns, we go hide where that junk chest is. - David Feb 12, 08:28 2
        
        true -- nm - Truman Feb 12, 08:43
        
        I'm pretty surprised that's a mechanic there. Not that I'm complaining though :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:32
      - well, we have to at least try. - groiny Feb 12, 08:20
Olbermann lays into Charles Barkley -- (link) - Beaker Feb 12, 08:09

Tyler Perry was surprisingly good in Gone Girl. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 07:40 9
- There has never been an actor judged so purely on trailers than Tyler Perry -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 08:32
- My favorite part of the movie, in fact. -- nm - David Feb 12, 08:16
- Absolutely -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 12, 08:07
- I only knew him by reputation, but I would look forward to seeing him again based off of GG. He brought something to the table. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 12, 08:07 2
  - wait until you see him in a dress... -- nm - decline Feb 12, 08:08 1
    - This is why I have yet to see him in anything. Could name a non-Aunt Whoever That Is movie of his. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 12, 08:16
- "Boy have you lost your mind, cause I'll help you find it." -- nm - budice Feb 12, 07:48
- yep -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 07:45
- this is true. nm -- nm - gods Feb 12, 07:44
Great, it's snowing. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 07:40 4

  - This will get you one week of light snow, and maybe a few hours of light. nm -- nm - gods Feb 12, 07:43
Hey hey hey, guess what day it is? - kelly Feb 12, 07:39 11

- Truck day? Does Nathan get to ride in a front Loader? Or did you get your 18 wheel license? -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 08:01 1

- Xursday Eve. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 07:40 2
  - heh - groiny Feb 12, 07:42 1
    - We can only hope. Although I still have a lot of playable options left for known chances. - Shaun Feb 12, 07:46
