This type of thing happens so much. I remember it happening with GTA IV on this site back in the old days too. Same thing with GTA V and basically every big game like that. I just ignore it at this point and keep enjoying the game.

Are you using a VPN at all? I sometimes run into this when I forget to turn my VPN service off.

I've noticed at least a couple in most races this year. In Malaysia particularly, there's a couple really blatantly obvious ones where they look quite aliased or jumpy.

I totally agree with this. I was following the whole thing on CBC and they were fairly professional about it and did their best not to speculate at all (which they were applauded for during the Ottawa shooting last year) and they only reported things that were confirmed by the police and by reputable news sources like the AP.

Contrast this with ABC's 20/20 "special" on it that my parents were watching, where they were broadcasting information that was either not confirmed or pure speculation, even claiming over 150 dead, and had already started speculating about who did it before the attack was even confirmed to have ended while claiming that it could happen anywhere and were straight up fear mongering. It was a real shame to see it but at this point it's what I expect from American media, put the spectacle ahead of facts.

I'm doing this with stuff on the Xbox One. For the Wii U, it's usually around the same but for Xbox the price difference for physical compared to digital is huge. Halo: The Master Chief Collection is $20 more expensive for digital compared to Amazon here in Canada. It's $70 instead of $50. Same with almost everything else. Forza Horizon 2 is still $60 digitally and much cheaper for physical. Same with almost everything else.

I'll get it for the single player and maybe a tiny bit of multiplayer. I think my multiplayer days for SC2 are done though. I played it for 4 years and realized by the end I wasn't having any fun anymore. I will give LOTV multiplayer a go though since it is so different from HOTS. I never liked the changes they made to the game with HOTS. To me, that ruined the game. WOL multiplayer was much better.

For some weird reason, I felt compelled to buy this game, and though I'm about half way done it right now, I'm having a fantastic time with it. It isn't very innovative. It isn't terribly difficult (though that's not to say there is no challenge to it, but it's a challenge that feels totally fair and is not overly frustrating). What it is though is an incredibly solid, fun platformer that partners precise gameplay with a great art style and pleasant music (the soundtrack is shockingly good at bringing out a nostalgic feeling for some reason). It will be near the top of my games list for this year as well.

I used to refuse to eat fish or seafood of any type as a kid. Now I'll eat most plainer, white fish (tilapia, cod, pike). Still no salmon or any seafood though. I have agreed to try lobster next time I'm at a restaurant and someone is having it though.

I've actually had the reverse of this thread happen. I used to love eating all sorts of meat, but now I don't really like a lot of it. I don't really like ground beef (it always tastes greasy to me, even if I drain it like crazy and cook it practically dry), any cut of beef that isn't super duper lean (I hate the taste and texture of beef fat), pork fat of any type which basically makes stuff like pulled pork a no-go (I still like bacon if it is cooked crispy, but that's about it), and especially things like ribs if they aren't trimmed at all.

I honestly think within a year or too I will be eating chicken and fish only or going full vegetarian.

If you've missed most of the stream and still want to watch the show there is an official Youtube channel for Bob Ross, and they've slowly been adding episodes for the last year or so. The channel used to just be highlights of the show but they started adding full episodes a while back, before just select episodes, but lately the entire first season.
