Yeah, I figured. Here in Norway an employer isn't allowed to check your criminal history (regardless of how serious) except for in rare cases (full access to your criminal history if you're applying for a position as a lawyer, judge, police officer, limited to "relevant history" if you're gonna work with kids), and I don't think any employer can check your credit. How open your criminal history is in the US is insane to me if the goal is to get people back into society.
But I digress.

I've never heard of any job checking someone's credit as a background check, but criminal history is always common. However IIRC it only flags serious felonies, not every little thing you've ever done.
I agree. Yeah, he's great in the play-by-play role, but he's fucking fantastic in the color commentator role.
It's a relatively new thing. Started with positions that dealt with money, and I feel like it began to expand with the last recession when employers discovered they had a surplus of people applying and could be really choosy.
I think a couple of states outlawed it, because it's pretty insane to discriminate against those with bad credit for almost no reason, when there's a decent chance they have bad credit because they're out of work.
Apparently roughly half of US employers run a credit check on applicants, but NYC has made it illegal recently. A few states have similar laws.

Good thing I don't use/pay off my credit card in full. Still, that's shitty.
Hope your free game isn't completely broken at launch!~

This thread Tim Follin made on the GB forums is a great read. I so hope a console version somehow magically happens, I want Adam Boyes stood on a Sony stage introducing that shit.

Yeah, Dan tends to only speak when he's spoken to. Which is why I like the Beastcast more, everyone is pretty much equally talking consistently. Whereas the Bombcast to me is just the Brad and Jeff show with the other two seats occasionally talking. I do want to clarify though that I still love the Bombcast.

Yeeeah, I thought about that. They may still send me a code, but I won't be too distraught if they don't.

When Jason's on, he's always jumping in which is why I like the episodes he's on.
This is very true.
One thing Brad could learn from Jeff. Don't waste hours on editing. Most people will not appreciate it. Many even like it raw (they also like the podcast raw)
.
Vinny seems to get the beastcast up quick too. Can't be doing much editing either. I remember when it was occasional he would spend days on the music
filled with weed!
but not WWE Raw

Vinny really does produce the shit out of the beastcast though. Sound bites, songs, west coast guests, etc. he just makes it look easyOne thing Brad could learn from Jeff.

Very nice. I'll be buying a g-sync monitor and, maybe, a new keyboard next month.

Excellent. I suppose I'll get a g-sync monitor at some point, but for now I'll be perfectly happy pegging most everything at 60 fps anyway.

I bought 2. With my PC running at full load and my AC running on the same circuit, I burned out the circuit breaker over the weekend. I just put the AC on it's own circuit. I don't know what I have become.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a very popular character with gamers of all ages.
Sonic is more popular than ever!

I bought MKX, SFV, and am buying a $200 fightstick despite being in my mid thirties and never being an avid fighting game devotee.

Oh man that KOTOR2 update is fucking LEGIT.
Out of the box controller support, Widescreen support and Steam Workshop that lets you install the restoration mod in 1 click.
I guess I don't have anymore excuses to not play that game (I loved the first one but never really played the second one)

I bought one recently, so far I've put it to the test using the graphical powerhouse that is Trackmania 2 Stadium.

I think Austin is gonna be ready to fight tooth and nail for his games come awards season. This, naturally, includes contradiction.

Hoping for Vinny/Austin on that one.
Hey, it's never too late to get into fighting games and arcade sticks last you a good long while. My original TE is still going strong 6 years later and I'll likely dual mod it for the new consoles when possible.
It's also nice to have one for other kinds of 2D games if the fighting game thing doesn't work out.
Yeah, it's dope. Hopefully the first sees the same treatment.
Austin is home sick so it's unlikely unless it was recorded last week.
Betting it'll be Dan. He played through the original Deception IV on Game Informer's youtube channel. Or was it Trapt? It was one of those games.

That... that was actually really comforting to read, ha. Thank you.

I think Trapt is its own thing. But with the same premise.
