From what I've heard The Black Parade mission style hews close to the style of Thief: The Dark Project. If your tastes are closer to Thief II: The Metal Age (or you'd just like more taffing about), I enjoyed T2X: Shadows of the Me

I'm in Massachusetts and have been doing the same thing with our lawn in the five years since becoming a homeowner. We rake leaves away from the house a few times in the fall to make our house less attractive to mice and then run the m

Treating the symptoms can be helpful in the long term if symptoms are a contributing cause to the disease. I used to ride my bike 150+ miles a week, but after not being able to do so for a bit due to other reasons I gained some weight. At t

Apologies for the misinterpretation. I thought you were speaking of all prison jobs, though I don't think it makes much of a difference. From an ACLU report[1] on prison labor in the US which covers both labor for prison upkeep and lab

All I was saying is that your framing was callous and also likely terribly inaccurate. It assumes that management always assesses layoffs and technology adoption rationally and objectively based on merits without influence by hype, advertis

Sorry, I'm a little confused about the relevance here. Could you elaborate a bit on how it ties into what I was saying? How did the users view products, how did they purchase them, and how did they receive them?

I think it has the best explosions in any game I've played too. They're so dang punchy. Combined with their atmospheric effects (fog and dust and whatnot) frantic firefights with bots look fantastic.

Because so many people use iPhones as their primary devices it's hard for businesses to accept making their websites only support browsers which are built off Chromium. It somewhat limits the power Google has to unilaterally dictate

Easter eggs can contain basically anything. In a video game I'd expect an easter egg to be anything from a secret weird level or item, a nod to another game/movie, or a picture of one of the developers' pets. As that bit you
