Then maybe you aren't playing the right game...

I get bored in about 3 minutes playing online FPS, but could play a good game with a real story (Fallout/Witcher/Etc) for hours. If it's crafted right, its like reading a good book.

He just needs something the whine about. If at work he complains about that. If traveling then it sucks. When at home it is boring. There is a pattern.

I absolutely hated Fallout 4. Way to turn a great RPG into an FPS with some minor RPG elements.

I could go on and on about my love for TW3. Absolutely amazing game, with a crazy good story and a beautiful world. But, after putting about 500 hours into it, I need a bit of break. I play it every now and then since starting a new game the last time I was home. After reading (well, listening) to the Witcher books, I know how the game should end. Ciri is the empress, Geralt settles down with Triss, Yennefer advises Ciri and the Lodge is reborn.

The big killer is that I want to play Destiny 2, but of course, none of my friends have weekdays off, so alas, I must wait until the evenings/weekends.

Edit: I ordered an Nvidia Shield TV on black friday, but it was delivered to my parent's place, so I'll be picking that up on Sunday. Going to be great being able to stream games from my computer to the TV, since I find couch gaming to be a bit more enjoyable than sitting in a computer chair. Also ordered NHL 18, so that'll be a sweet way to take a break from some of the more serious games I'm playing right now.

I have a couple of decades or three of experience managing the folks that manage these technologies at some Fortune 500 companies so I speak from some experience.

Truth is, almost no company monitors for this kind of thing on a systematic basis. Sure, there are web filters that block obvious sites, etc but no one has time to monitor every individual photo that comes across someone's computer screen, well, except maybe the NSA.

In the end, its a common sense thing. If you have something up on your screen that someone else finds questionable and reports you, then you are going to have to deal with it and justify it. Most folks that get caught with inappropriate materials at work are from being reported, not some type of random scan or monitoring.

Basically, if you wouldn't want your Grandmother seeing you looking at it you probably shouldn't be looking at it at work in an open environment. It's not a whole lot different than it was before the Internet. You would have gotten fired (or at least asked to take it down) in the 80s if someone complained about the Snap-On Tools calendar hanging on your business office wall. (I will neither confirm nor deny it was mine) although they were pretty tame by today's standards.

Clearly the brunette on the bottom right is the only one with any clue how to even use a tool though.

Well, almost of todays games are all about graphics and shit. I miss old games where you try to beat it on a family room filled with friends. Also i miss playing MMORPG while smoking weed, good times. Stupid nostalgia, every christmas hit more harder.

The U.S. has always been the world leader in objectification of women in media because of our puritanical roots.

Forbidden Fruit Syndrome.

Sat down with a Toyota salesman today regarding a MT MY17 Halo 86. I have an AT MY15

They have 5 MY17's left in Ontario and will finance at 0%

I dislike the front end.

I dislike the new steering wheel (So much so, I would replace it)

The lights are okay..

The interior bits are nice.

I like the wheels.

Do I or don't I? Hmmm...
