    [MMO] World of Tanks

    From what I understand: VStab is a 20% reduction of your normal gun reticle... however, it does not decrease the rate at which the reticle shrinks. GLDs do increase the rate at which the reticle shrinks.

    The Next X: X Rebirth

    Oh god, Independence War 2 was a BRILLIANT game. Excellent combat mechanics. A few mods and it comes close to being one of the top 3 spaceship "sim" games ever released, imo. If you can find if cheaply, Elcs, you should definitely give it a shot.

    Batman : Arkham City on sale Retail

    That's been going on for... 20 years now? :) EDIT: Well worth the $40 I paid on Steam. I loved the first one and thought this one's storyline was really campy in comparison, but it's got the solid gameplay to back it up. The challenges are what really do it for me... I'll spend hours trying to...

    The Witcher 3 Confirmed

    Loooooove Witcher 2. I particularly enjoyed getting high and wandering around eerie forests with little gremlin dudes jumping up out of the ground at me. Very trippy.

    Ubisoft: I Am Alive cancelled on the PC cause "so few people are paying for PC games"

    Are we still talking about Ubi? Fuck those guys. Good riddance. Games have gotten shitty over the years, THAT'S why I won't spend $60 on their 8-hour campaign game. Give me a perfect remake of Tie Fighter, just update the graphics, and I'll drop $100 on it instantly.

    The theft? Yeah, it was.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    Yeah, and really effective when used properly. Too bad about the frontal engine fires, though. When I run into enemy Lowes I almost feel bad for doing it to them.

    Am I the only one still waiting for Batman?

    Arrrrgh for the 22nd! I'm a total PC snob, and Batman:AA was one of the best ports I've ever seen. Really impressed me.

    Steam Hacked | Credit Card Information at Risk

    On a possibly related note, my debit card was used for two separate $122 ATM withdrawals on 10/15 and 10/20 in a place I've never been to. Doesn't hurt to check, boys.

    My NYC employer wants to dock my pay for lateness / going over sick days

    Hey, good point. I do, in some way. Mainly I dislike that the standard isn't applied equally to every employee, many of whom arrive 30 minutes late. I accept it and try to do my job, though; It's joked about in the office that I bear the brunt of the president's misplaced tantrums, because I'm...

    Legal to dock. You didn't read it either.

    My NYC employer wants to dock my pay for lateness / going over sick days

    Hmmm, thanks! Helpful. Sorry if I come off ambivalent. I punish myself harder than they do when I'm late, honestly and I'm just not trying to defend myself on it in this thread... just asking about the legality of docking for it in this thread. It's wrong, I hate it, I feel guilty when I get...

    My NYC employer wants to dock my pay for lateness / going over sick days

    From what I can tell, I am an exempt employee under the administrative overtime exemption (http://labor.ny.gov/legal/counsel/pdf/administrative-employee-overtime-exemption-frequently-asked-questions.pdf). I'm salaried, fulfill the requirements and don't receive overtime. Maybe I didn't...

    My NYC employer wants to dock my pay for lateness / going over sick days

    My own boss has told me that there's absolutely no reason to be there at 9:30 vs. 9:45 or 10. She often comes in at 10:30. That said, I still understand it's their prerogative to insist on 9:30 or firing, but in this case it's genuinely a result of the president projecting his insecurities on...
