I think he might be the first one of us to make something of himself!

Oh yeah, thanks a lot Murch Jr. for making the rest of us look bad!

The one where I call out PAN PAN! (Announcing on the radio that my motor is kaput)

Turns out that communication is a cornerstone of sailing safety. Apparently, having the ability to use a radio to contact a tanker that is currently on its way to cross your course and possibly slice you in half... is a good idea.

It's also good to have a way to contact the marina that you are aiming to reach before sundown, so as to make sure they have the proper quality of beer you require in order to deal with the fact that you have a living room the size of a bucket. Read more

Tomorrow to celebrate the Official Bethesda purchase, Xbox will add 20 games to Game Pass

While some of these games are already on Game Pass, they will be added to all Game Pass platforms, and some upgraded versions will be added. Some of the games will apparently take advantage of an FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S.

I find it humorous that they are adding Skyrim just as The Witcher 3 is being removed.

The full list of games is after the break.

This is all I could think of when I learned that Stormblade is at a higher priority for the vaccine

You see it too? Right?

Guba just challenged me to do this!

I'm already shaking...

I don't think I'm going to make the full three days...

The one where I don't wreck a boat.

During Christmas time in Arizona, 2019, my wife and I decided to learn to sail.

Back in Ottawa, we applied for a course with Advantage Boating: Basic Cruising. We applied in March and it was to start in June and we couldn't wait. Less than 2 weeks later, the province shut down because of COVID. I tried to reach Advantage Boating and got no response at the time. As far as I could tell, our course was cancelled and our money was gone.

It's possible I may have heard most of these already today...

Via theCHIVE.

You'll have to guess who the clowns are...

Via theCHIVE.

The one where I stand on others' shoulders.

The problem with having a project of this "magnitude" is to evaluate risk. You have to know what you know and you have to know what you don't know. If you don't know what you don't know, you are in trouble...

Right.

You'll have to guess which one of these is me...

Via Geeks are sexy.

The one where I admit to lying.

In the previous episode, I've listed a huge-mongous amount of skills I will have to gain inside a short amount of time. At first blush, it may seem impossible (probably at second blush too...)

I've been lying...

... well, by omission. Read more

New trailer from Second Extinction about the Thumper

If you’re unfamiliar with Second Extinction, here’s a handy list of features.

• Intense Three-player Co-op — Earth is overrun by mutated dinosaurs! Team up with up to two other resistance fighters to take it back in short but intense combat operations.
• Battle Mutated Monstrosities — These dinos are nothing like the ones in your history books! From electric raptors to behemoth T-Rexes that tower over the horizon, these deadly creatures have evolved into the ultimate killing machines.
• Experience Spectacular Action — Combine your fireteam’s unique weapons and abilities for explosive results against overwhelming opposition in challenging set piece engagements.
• Take Part in a Joint Effort — Your actions, together with the rest of the community, will shape the course of the war against the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs! Co-op! Dinosaurs! And, umm, dinosaurs?

This time by Ubisoft, not just some random guy on Twitter

I can't wait to see my backyard LAN party! All of us decked out in HazMat suits, working our way through two feet of snow, with Stormblade complaining about being the fourth person in a three player game...

Yeah. I hate him.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Satellite. 32 and 0. Zero deaths across the entire match.

While not as impressive or rare as Jehreg's Zero it still deserves our kudos.

So, yeah, kudos I guess.
