@cerebus: Check out the Tram if you're not afraid of heights. Eat at Sadie's, any of the locations are fine but I still prefer the one up on 4th street, the food is very hot so order chile on the side if you need to. Find a Golden Pride and have a breakfast burrito(most places make good ones, this is just my go-to, pretty good Carne Adovoda). Old town is nice this time of year to walk around and checkout some local artists and vendors. Weems International Artfest is at the fairgrounds this weekend if you're into that, it's usually a pretty cool event with lots of interesting artists. The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History is pretty cool to kill a few hours. If you're the outdoors type there are a LOT of places to go hiking or biking. We have a VERY nice aquarium and if you go there take a walk through the botanic gardens as well.

Edit: OH, Bring a jacket, its cold this weekend, Highs will be in the 40's on sunday. Shut up, that's cold here.

@cornbredx: Should be able to do it in a small pan with water and just slowly dissolve the jellybeans into a simple syrup if you really want to do it, the double boiler probably made this way harder. However instructing Dan to make a scalding hot sugar syrup on the stove top could be pretty dangerous.

This thread is great.

As a side note, all of these contests are no purchase necessary (would be a lottery otherwise and not a give-away). You can get a code from a website instead of enduring a burrito supreme every day, but that probably requires you to physically mail something or some shit, and this is way more entertaining.

GB has the right to hire who they want. @spacekatgal has the right to call them out if she feels their lack of diversity is hurting their editorial, their image, or anything else. They don't need us to defend their hiring practices. I'm personally happy Dan is onboard because he's entertaining, but I can also say yes, this site needs to diversify their staff and get more opinions from different places. TBH this thread is probably a good start, and maybe next time they have an opening they'll consider this issue more when weighing hiring options *especially* if they see the community asking for it. This is one of the reasons I (we?) love the E3 coverage events, we get more opinions about more industry news from a much wider array of industry voices and I can only hope that they expand the cast appearing in their videos. There's no reason to be defensive about it, at all.

Thank you Brianna for answering questions about this subject. This whole episode been terrible and I hope things get better soon, the level of vitriol directed at female industry people is truly shocking and honestly confusing. Though some of us choose not to weigh in on this subject very often, you've been great at making me think about the industry and it's shortcomings in ways I might not have before, and reflect a bit on what (I) need to change. That may not be enough, I'm not sure. Hang in there, some day my daughter might need the help you're giving her now.

Glad to see this posted, sorry it needed to be done. The whole GG movement is so cartoonishly villainous that it would be laughable if not for the actual, real life harm they are doing to people who had the audacity to make video games that aren't mainstream, or express opinions they don't agree with. Anyone who thinks they should/can/might use the movement as some sort of platform for "reform" or discussion of games journalism ethics is ignorant at best. The whole thing just looks like children who don't know how the world works, calling people out for simple contacts lists in an attempt to expose... something? Well they don't really know but damnit they'll know it when they see it! The only thing they've manged to expose is just how much vitriol and hate people in this industry can get just for their sex, orientation, or even a damn opinion.

I'll forever be baffled by individuals who feel the need to bring personal harm to someone they disagree with, and I have a feeling the VAST majority of people are in that camp. I disagree with Mr @patrickklepek pretty often, we have different worldviews and that's cool. Some of his articles make me think about things differently and re-evaluate my own opinions or just examine why I've formed the opinion I have. Sometimes I chuckle and wonder "Why is this even a thing someone has to write about". Maybe it's a shameful secret, but sometimes I even skip some of his content because it isn't the flavor of entertainment, commentary or news I'm looking for at the time. I'll never understand why it needs to go farther than that for some people.

This stuff almost makes me want to get an XBONE just to get back into designing cars. I wasn't very good at racing but I liked making designs!

@spoonman671: With current mechanics, stations are never destroyed. They can be conquered and renamed(so it probably wont have this name forever), but not destroyed. There are hints that CCP wants to change it, but for now, this station will remain until something major changes. It is only "invulnerable" until some other steps are taken to allow the station to be attackable!

@forcen: One of my favorite Kite Co videos!

For reference on the outpost, 30B isk when we bought materials is about $600 worth of plex(game time cards). So cool to have a group that can pull this off all from the GB community. :D

Thanks to Everyone in Kite Co for making it possible. This thing was no small undertaking, and seeing Mattisen stress about it for like the last month trying to coordinate moving the thing was great! Love, Ryan Davis. Though the station may some day be conquered and change hands and names, Kite Co will remember this as the spot we made a permanent mark on the EVE universe. o7

Me and a buddy used to make and sell a ton of custom arcade sticks(and empty wooden boxes), but kinda got bored with it and haven't in a couple years. Here are a few I have uploaded from when we were making them:

These are fun to make, we were doing them for a while before custom boards became available by breaking apart 360 controllers and soldering the contacts. It got a lot easier when people started making custom boards!
