Ruta odorata
I have had a terrible time keeping Ruta graveolens here in North Texas...it constantly dies! I've tried almost every part shade bed in my yard because of the heat we have in the summer! I also tried elevating the bed for better drainage...to no success!
It was recommended that I try Ruta odorata but I lost the email of the nice gentleman that offered to share seeds with me! I haven't been able to find a seed source online, either!
Does anyone have seeds that I could trade for or send a SASBE? I am a novice butterfly gardener & herb gardener. I am trying to find host plants for Giant Swallowtails & rue is one of their's.
Thanks, Lila
Maybe you could try to buy a small plant and put it in a container at first. A nice large pot would do, but maybe a smaller one that you could lift. Try out different parts of your garden to see where it's happiest. I killed three before I found out where it wanted to live, and now it's very happy. Gets eaten nearly to the nubs each late summer by the caterpillars with the orange and black stripes, then grows again like nothing happened. Mine is now in the ground, in a dedicated herb bed that was lasagna'ed for a few months before planting. Our heat is probably like yours so I thought I'd put my two cents in.......

Chilling in San Juan Capistrano
It's not everyday you wake up to a rooster's crowing. But someone around here must have a rooster, and he's a vocal one. It's not too loud or too annoying at all. But it is a novelty for us.
Today would be a day just to relax. We would take full advantage of a quiet home and a private pool. Laundry was almost finished, so even Mom could relax!
Mark initiated the outdoor shower and insisted that everyone give it a try. So ...
Good-bye Disney, Hello San Juan Capistrano
... casual dinner by the pool, and then everyone just hung out and did exactly what they wanted to do until showers and bedtime– how nice!
We hear that St. Louis is having cooler and less humid weather than we are out here in California. Seems that's always the way for us. Enjoy it, friends. When we return, it's sure to return to more St. Louis-like weather.
Tomorrow: Hanging around San Juan Capistrano.
Orange County and Joshua Tree
... and oranges which just seem to get better and better the longer you wait. I was also in town for the Lunar New Year, an event which was accompanied by the sound of fire crackers all day long.
As soon as I arrived in Orange County I began to leave posts on the local couchsurfing forum to see if there were other people interested in doing day trips to local parks or to go hiking. Hijacking someone else's thread ...
Storm Ball
On the way back to San Diego we detoured out to Lake Elsinore to tour the baseball venue where the Lake Elsinore Storm play. The Storm are affiliates of the San Diego Padres.
The venue is a little ripper and the guys running it are really nice.
It has lots of great attributes for the fan and the guys have done a very good job in diversifying ...

Need info about an antique/vintage figurine
I'm hoping someone can tell me more about this figurine. I recently acquired it from my father. It originally belonged to my great-grandmother. I'm not sure what material it is made from or how old it is... I think it might be Art Neuveau? There are no marks on the bottom but "1152" is stamped into the base. Ideas?
It is just exquisite and I love it. Yes, the very first question one should ask is if it is solid or hollow. It does look moulded to me, but it would have had to be done in several steps, with pieces joined and there is no reason greenware cannot also be sculpted to add fine detail. If I am not mistaken, I see very fine crazing on the arm, and there is certainly glaze present, further adding to the probability it is moulded and fired.
Just from the style of the hair and and the almost greco suggestion of garb, my first impression is also art nouveau as well. But that's just a gut reaction.

People with scars are often asked how many months do I have to use Dermefface fx7 to fade my scars? Does it really work? Dermefface fx7 is made from Pentvitin, Symglucan, DI Panthenol, Vitalayer, and Pro-Coll-One+, the serum is made to reduce the appearance of scars including papules, pustules, cystic acne's, chicken pox, surgery, and injury. Dermefface fx7 is said to be one of the best product that help you to obscure old scars. It is possible because the manufactures decides to use high quality ingredients to make outstanding result possible. It has been known that Symglucan can speed up the healing process on your wound; DI Panthenol will regenerate the skin cell, while Vitalayer and Pro-Coll-One+ will increase the number of collagen on your skin.
- How long do you need to take the serum?
Basically, you can see the difference on your skin after using the serum for 4 weeks, but to get the best result; the manufactures recommend you to use the serum at least for 90 days, it will be preferable if you use the products for 4 months. The distinct types of scars have different estimate times to heal, a minor surface scars only need 4 month to disappear; but people with surgical wound need use the serum at least for 6 months. To get maximum result, you need to apply the serum at least 2 times a day. You can't expect to get the result at the first time, since the skin will regenerate after 28 days. Dermefface fx7 is working by replacing your scarred skin; it will build a healthier cell when the skin is regenerated. It does not only heal the epidermis on the skin, but also the dermis and subcutaneous tissues. The serum won't constrain the skin to have rapid skin regeneration, but it tries to improve the skin cell within natural skin regenerating system.
- What are Dermefface fx7 side effects? Does the manufacture give guarantee?
The other aspect that you need to pay attention when you are choosing a skin care products is their side effect, especially for those who have sensitive skin. Even though Dermefface fx7 is known for their outstanding performance in obscuring the scars, it still has several weaknesses. The price of the serum is quite expensive since the products are made from natural ingredients, since you need to use the serum for a couples months; you need to calculate the budget. Some cases showed that Dermefface fx7 is not effective; it can be happen because each people have different types of diet and stress level, so the failure of the products can actually come from your personal lifestyle. Several people found them self has severe redness after applying the serum, if it is occur on your skin; you need to stop using the serum to avoid severe side effect. But the best thing about this product is, the manufacture gives the guarantee for the costumers for 94 days, so you can send back the products and get the refund when you have side effect.

The federal Department of Labor's website says that you can expect your first unemployment check two or three weeks after you apply, as long as you submit all of the required information, and no follow-up is necessary. In some states, there is a waiting period (one week is typical) between the time you become unemployed and when you are eligible for benefits. This means you won't receive any unemployment compensation for the first week you are out of work.

I'm making a 5 gallon batch of blackberry wine.
What temp should I ferment this at?
I'm using Red Star Montrachet active wine yeast.
I've got 15 pounds of berries, so I guess I'm going to make 3 gallons, most of the online recipes call for 4 pounds of berries per gallon. Could I add raisins to get more body....If so how much.....
24hrs prior to fermentation do I add 1 camden tablet or do I add 1 camden tablet per gallon of must...
the recipie I have calls for 3 1/2 pounds of berries per gallon, optional campden tablet, pectic enzyme yeast yeast nutrient 1 1/2 cup orange juice and 2 1/4 pounds of sugar.
It comes from the Wild Wines and Meads book by Pattie Vargas and Rich Gulling I haven't tried it yet as the berries aren't ripe around here yet. should be ready about july 4th so I should be trying it soon after that
Here's my blackberry wine recipe (from Jack Keller's site):
BLACKBERRY WINE (2) [Medium Bodied Dry]
4 lb blackberries
2-1/4 lb granulated sugar
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1/2 tsp acid blend
crushed Campden tablet
7 pts water
wine yeast and nutrient
Pick fully ripe, best quality berries. Wash thoroughly and place in nylon jelly-bag. Mash and squeeze out all juice into primary fermentation vessel. Tie jelly-bag and place in primary fermentation vessel with all ingredients except yeast. Stir well to dissolve sugar, cover well, and set aside for 24 hours. Add yeast, cover, and set aside 5 days, stirring daily. Strain juice from jelly-bag and siphon off sediments into secondary fermentation vessel of dark glass (or wrap clear glass with brown paper), filling only to the upper shoulder of the secondary, and fit airlock. Leftover must should be placed in a 750-ml wine bottle with airlock (a #2 bung fits most wine bottles) and used for topping up. Top up when all danger of foaming over is past. Place in cool (60-65 degrees F.) dark place for three weeks. Rack, allow another two months to finish, then rack again and bottle in dark glass. Allow a year to mature to a nice semi-sec. [Adapted from Raymond Massaccesi's Winemaker's Recipe Handbook]
I did put some oak in it during one of the rackings, and it fermented dry, to .990, not semi-sec. So now it's bottled and it's dry with a tiny hint of oak. It's really terrific! This makes one gallon- you can easily multiply it for 5 gallons (but still use only one package of yeast). And I used premier cuvee yeast.
Sounds like a great wine.
I use jack kellers heavy body recipe which used 6 lbs of blackberries per gallon. Like yooper I also ferment it to dry and oak with a medium toasted oak spiral. Bottle it up after around 8 months and then give it another 6 in the bottle, I need to bottle the 2012 batch in the next few weeks when I get some time. Blackberries have enough body on their own that they do not need raisins added for body.
Reading another thread on strawberry wine, I saw a recommendation of freezing the fruit. Makes sense, I guess since freezing would destroy the cell walls allowing juice to flow more freely.
Is this recommended for all fruits? Should I freeze my blackberries?
Yes Freeze them before using.

Purple Flame Grass Seeds...Sterile or Good to Grow????
Hi! In a swap I received some Purple Flame Grass Seeds. I have never grown this before and was excited to receive them to try. However, looking them up on the internet I found that they do not re-seed and the seeds are sterile.
I am wondering if this is accurate? Has anyone ever tried growing them from seed before? And if so what were the results.
OH! and I can't ask the person who sent them to me because their was no GW ID name on the bag and I had just thrown it in my seed box with everything else when I received them.
Thanks so much for any help!
I couldn't tell you about that seed in particular but I've come across a number of plants on the DG description that say they don't produce seed or it's sterile and have found that to be false.Some might not produce plants the same as the parent but I've found a number of supposedly sterile plants that have produced viable seed. I'd say just give it a try. The worst that will happen is it won't grow.

Excellent Camera with easy set up!
Spent a couple of days on several sites searching for a camera to purchase as a gift before selecting this camera and an SD card. Taking into account what my father's previous camera features were, some type of motion correction and the cost, this camera was the perfect fit! I wanted to have the camera ready and operational when the gift was opened, so I charged the camera, took a few pictures and added many more to the SD card. My father was very pleased with the camera and we found him a carrying case the next day!Read More
Canon proves it's reputation
I had purchased a high end Nikon just weeks before and I hated it, sent it to the factory for repair of the blurry pictures and still came back terrible. A friend recommended the Canon PowerShot 16.1 and I bough it. WOW! I should have done this long ago. Picture quality is right on and price was unbelievably low for such a camera. Don't hesitate to purchase this one. It's a winner in my book.Read More

'Viva La Mamma' @ Lake George Opera, 7/11/10
By Priscilla McLean, Special to the Times Union Perhaps it was the mid-Nineteenth Century Italian opera audience. Hector Berlioz, the famous French composer, described the crowd with backs toward the stage, talking and laughing loudly while eating and gambling, so loudly that Berlioz left the hall in disgust, not having heard a note of Donizetti's […] [Read More]
BSO Opening Night @ Tanglewood, 7/9/10
By Priscilla McLean, Special to the Times Union First of all, one must forgive Gustav Mahler for being Mahler.

It was a couple years before I hopped onto the Game of Thrones bandwagon. My girlfriend insisted that I watch it, so I went through the entire backlog of seasons one through four over the fall and winter. So when I saw that there was a game available on Steam, I bought it for her. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the patience for this game's style of narrative gameplay, and she got bored with it and gave up within an hour. I had hoped that the excitement of new Game of Thrones content would offset the lack of interaction, but I was wrong. So I figured I'd play it in order to get my money's worth, since I'm more tolerant of "interactive movie" games, and I liked Telltale's previous Back to the Future game just fine.
Only the first two episodes (Iron From Ice and The Lost Lords) are currently available, and the remaining four episodes are expected to be released every couple months through the rest of the year.
As an "interactive movie", Telltale's Game of Thrones title is definitely worthwhile, as it's basically like watching episodes of the series. It adds to the narrative of the TV show by telling the tale of the Forrester house, who (following the events of the show's infamous "Red Wedding") find themselves suddenly under the dominion of the hated rival family, the Boltons. The game requires you to play as a small handful of family members (spread out between Forrester's own Ironrath keep, King's Landing, and the Black Fort) as they seek political alliances in order to protect the Forrester house from the Boltons' tyranny.
Or at least, that's the set-up. In true Game of Thrones nature, it doesn't take long for shit to hit the fan, and for all your expectations to fall apart.
The game has very little "action", as most of the focus is on conversation and plotting between characters. So if you're expecting a hack-n-slash game in the style of Skyrim, then you'll have to look elsewhere. Maybe that hack-n-slash game from Focus Interactive is what I should have bought for my girlfriend. Or maybe not...
Even the more intense action segments of the game (such as battles or brawls) require very little interaction or decision-making from the player. Most of the time, it's just an elaborate quick-time event, requiring you to complete the scene by just following on-screen prompts.
The action sequences were quite challenging at first, because they required the use of mouse commands and the arrow keys and other keyboard commands. And I only have two hands. Alternating between the mouse and arrow keys on the keyboard was a challenge, until I realized that the W,A,S, and D keys can be substituted for the arrow keys. Then the action sequences became trivially easy.
These sequences were extremely disappointing because of the lack of active participation from the player. The open exploration and puzzle-solving from Back to the Future is almost completely gone ...

With Civilization V apparently at the end of its life cycle and unlikely to receive any more major updates or expansions, it's time to start looking to the future of the franchise: Civilization VI. Civ V was successful enough to spawn several spin-offs: Beyond Earth, Civilization Revolution 2 on mobile devices, Civilization World, and even a Civilization MMO. So it's reasonable to assume that if work hasn't already started on Civlization VI, then it will begin soon.
One of the things that I most love about Civ V is that each civ has unique powers that give them their own playstyles and flavors. The expansions (especially Brave New World) showed a lot of creativity with some of the civilizations. I hope that these design philosophies continue, and that we'll see some even more interesting gameplay variations in the new civilizations of Civilization VI.
To that end, I have a few ideas and suggestions for designs and themes for some of the common civilizations that are likely to appear in Civilization VI. I'll provide at least a unique abilility and at least two unique units / buildings / improvements, but I may also provide additional or alternative unique suggestions in case Firaxis decides to include even more variety and specialization. Since Civ VI will likely be a whole new game on a whole new engine, I can't give specific examples of the mechanics of these ideas. Instead, I'll try to focus on more broad concepts and maybe include examples based on Civ V's mechanics and features if relevant.
* NOTE: this post is a work-in-progress, and will probably be revised as I come up with additional ideas or clarifications.

Being someone who appreciates good science fiction and has an interest in real-life space exploration, it's easy for me to become intrigued with any game that promises to let me explore an alien world. Lifeless Planet promised to let me do just that, so it was a no-brainer Steam Summer Sale purchase for me last year, despite the mediocre critical reviews.
The basic premise of the game is that you play as a colonist sent to alien planet thought to be rich in life and habitable for humans. You wake up from cryo-sleep to find your ship has crash landed and your two crewmates are missing. Worse yet, the planet you crashed on seems to be a desolate wasteland devoid of life.
Are you even on the right planet? If so, where's all the life?
From here, you set off to follow the tracks of your fellow crew mates in an attempt to find them and figure out where you are. Things get complicated very early on when you find a long-abandoned Soviet village. Wherever you happen to be, the Ruskies beat you to it!
But this just opens up even more questions: how did the Russians get here? And where did they all go? The mysteries behind these questions are supposed to be the driving force behind the game.
The bulk of the game, thus consists of wandering around the various alien landscapes in search of answers. This exploration requires a moderate amount of fairly trivial platforming, and you stop occasionally solve an elementary puzzle.
Platforming is mostly comfortable and works adequately. You have a malfunctioning jet pack that allows you a small boost to elevate you to higher platforms, jump longer gaps, or soften your fall. I had some occasional problems with the character sliding off of the geometry, and there were a couple areas late in the game that required multiple jumps without stopping that were difficult to control accurately. But other than that, the challenge of the platforming was minimal. The intended route is always obvious, so there was never any question about where I was supposed to go.
Puzzles aren't much more of a challenge. They are almost all environmental or physics puzzles that vary from "find the key" to "put the rock in the hole" to "push the boulders". There's nothing here that a grade-schooler couldn't figure out.
The rest of the game is just a steady walk along the linear paths ...

A friend of mine introduced me to the social game SimCity Buildit, currently available for mobile devices and tablets. Since I currently lack a strong mainstream entry in the SimCity franchise, I thought I'd see if this social game does anything to fill my long-neglected need for spline-reticulation or if it presented any new features that could be worth pursuing in a full PC version of the game. I don't generally play social games. I dabbled a bit with CivWorld and Sims Social, but that's about it. So I lack a lot of reference for judging SimCity Buildit in terms of other social games.
Most of the fundamental SimCity elements are here: you set housing, commercial, and industrial zones, link them with roads, and build service buildings in order to satisfy various citizen needs within a certain radius. None of the deeper simulation elements of newer city-builder games are there. Individual citizens don't exist; there's just an abstract population, and happiness levels are set for each residential building. It's understandable for the limitations of the platform, and it provides a retro quality that reminds me of the good ol' days of SimCity 4.
But since this is a social game, the design has to put up numerous barriers to restrict the player's freedom to construct the city that they want. You have to "level up" your city by building new buildings. The number of residences that you can build, as well as the availability of industry and shops are also limited by your level or by the city population.
You also don't really have an economy to manage - at least not in the traditional sense. Citizens don't work at factories and shops. Instead, these buildings create certain building materials that are used to "upgrade" your residences into higher-density buildings that generate more tax revenue. This provides the core challenge of the game: you have to build the necessary materials in order to upgrade your buildings. Each of these materials take different amounts of real time to construct in your factories and shops (or you can buy the materials you need through real-money micro-transactions). As you level up, you'll unlock new materials, which residences will suddenly demand in order to upgrade their buildings.
The ability to upgrade a building seems to be limited by its happiness level. Only happy residences can be upgraded, so you also need to provide city services such as power, water, waste disposal, emergency services, entertainment, and so on. But these services are very frustrating because they are tied to your city level. New services or entertainments become unlocked when you level up. That's fine. But once those services are unlocked, your entire city starts demanding them, and happiness plummets (as well as tax income, which is tied to happiness) because you don't already have the infrastructure ...

Without a decent, new iteration of SimCity for me to play, I've been looking high and low for new city simulator games in order to scratch that particular itch. I spent a large chunk of time a few years ago playing Cities XL, but never got around to reviewing it (maybe I'll post a retro-review in the future). Cities XL has so far been the best of the bunch and has a very wide scope, but it's developer has folded, and the game has never truly felt complete.
So I've started looking at more niche titles. I gave Children of the Nile and Caesar IV a go a few years ago, and both were pretty good, but just didn't hold me over for very long. So when Tropico 5 went on sale on Steam, I picked it up and put it on the shelf till I took a break from Civ. The game has also been released on XBox 360, and it has also been announced for a PS4 release sometime in 2015, but I've been playing the PC version.
The primary gimmick of the Tropico series is that the player isn't a mayor (as most city simulators claim); instead, you play as a dictator who is granted governorship of a small Caribean island-nation by a European power. It's basically a Cuba-simulator. At the start of a game, you must create a dictator avatar, and that character can have children and heirs in order to maintain your dynasty. From a meta standpoint, this gives much greater justification for the breadth of power that the player has over the development of the city. But this dictatorial theme isn't just a gimmick; the game actually does use it for gameplay purposes.
In addition to balancing workers versus jobs and various citizen satisfaction metrics, the player also has to worry about maintaining your position of power and dealing on the international stage. Much like the Democracy games, the player actually has to win elections in order to avoid losing the game, and so you must balance the favor of various competing factions. It's nowhere near as deep as Democracy, since there's only about four factions (which change depending on the current era), but it does add an extra challenge that a game like SimCity lacks. After all, your mayor-hood in SimCity is indisputable.
It can be hard to manage the favor of these various factions and their members, since it's hard sometimes to tell exactly what is making them happy or unhappy...

Team Titleist Community,
I am looking to switch from my current Titleist clubs, older AP2s, to the new CBs. I am an accomplished player that actively plays weekly. My question is, what big differences do you see between the two? Any suggestions or input would help.
Thank you all,
Thank you for your input. I understand your comment about the AP2s being a little clicky, which I do not like with my short irons. I am going to try out the CBs to see if I like the softer feel.
I had the original ap2's and bought the 712 cb's last year. They are a little less forgiving but you will get more feedback if you miss the sweet spot which can be a good thing. The biggest difference i noticed was the ball flight being lower which is why i switched to the cb's.
I had a set of original AP2 and then hit a buddies AP2-710 6 iron. Needless to say I went out and bought the AP2-712. Played 7 holes with them today and birdied 3 of them. If you played the original AP2 you might try the 712 before you go to the CB. Just my opinion.

Be advised that starting February 25, 2015, I'll be out of commission until mid-April due to back surgery. During this time no orders will be filled. If you place an order during this period, I won't be able to respond. Also, if you e-mail to ask a question it may be a while before I respond. So please be patient if you don't get an e-mail response or receive your quickly. Once I'm able to get around and do a little more, I'll start catching up on all things Monsters from the Vault-related.
My recovery period is between 4 - 6 months and my physical activity during this time will be very limited. Therefore, it's a good chance that the final issue of Monsters from the Vault will not premiere at the June Monster Bash as planned. If I can't get the issue ready for June, it will be pushed back until October and will premiere at the October Monster Bash instead. Either way, it will be worth the wait!
I hope to be able to post the final issue contents and covers here before my surgery; however, I'm still waiting on a few things before doing so. If it doesn't happen, it'll be posted in mid-April.
Once again, thanks for your patience and understanding during this period.

bahrain, Bahrain Hotel, Business and Economy, camera, colour, culture, history, manama, Ministry of Culture, Photograph, Photographer, photography, Relics, Sea, tourism, tradition, Travel and Tourism
This is perhaps Bahrain's first hotel, how fallen on bad days like so many other heritage sites. The Bahrain Hotel came into existence in the 1940's and was once a luxury address, situated right at the waterfront on the Manama Harbour. Those were the days when 90 per cent of the visitors to Bahrain came on ships and boats, with some of the larger vessels anchoring miles away from the shore to offload passengers into smaller boats that brought them ashore.
It was in those days the Bahrain Hotel flourished and guests enjoyed a luxurious view of the vast ocean.
The last few years have seen several abortive attempts to get this hotel going once again and it seems everyone's given up finally.
Last word that I got was Bahrain's Ministry of Culture had taken over the property to renovate and refurbish it as a heritage site. That is good news, if it's true. Bahrain has a rich culture, tradition and history unmatched in this part of the world so it is important these relics from the past are preserved and promoted as places of tourist interest.
Hopefully, all is not lost – yet – and we might see the Bahrain Hotel rise from the proverbial dustbin of history – again!

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
What, if anything, would make you quit gaming?
As long as my old consoles work or can be easily replaced, I will continue gaming. I may not buy new systems in the future if the publishers like EA keep trying to steal every penny from consumers.
Locking out used games (and even games borrowed from a friend)-- no way I buy that system.
Being a gimmicky system built around touch controls, motion controls, some other BS-- no buy. I'm not buying a Wii, Wii U, Kinect, etc.
The continuing decline of games. I used to play a lot of fighting games-- I still own at least a dozen on older systems. But with so many of them having ridiculous locked on-disk content now, I will probably never play another fighting game.
There are other possible reasons. I am not a loyal fanboy consumer, so the next PS/Xbox will have to win me over to convince to buy one.
From: Sheepinator | #030
Oh man, yeah I hate those free map packs in ME3 that other companies would charge $10-$15 each for. Hate hate hate them. It's an absolute disgrace, and frankly, how is it even legal to give us stuff for free? It's an insult and an outrage, and I'm glad you're onto them.
If someone doesn't like EA, it's petty to list a single nice thing they've done as though they've absolved themselves with one act.
EA is by far the biggest player when it comes to the legal department and the changing world of media. They're the Disney of video games. They've made (and continue to make) some good stuff, but their legal department lobbies heavily for laws that are bad for the industry and borderline unconstitutional.
I'd say draconian DRM, but that just makes me quit gaming legitimately.
*disappears into forest*
The three things that would make me quit gaming on new consoles:
-Phasing out single player games. There is already way too much focus on online multiplayer.
-Phasing out physical game discs. Licenses to play the game only and not being able to own the copy I paid for is BS.
-Locking out used games. If they would just make games that are good and quit making trash or mediocre games then there wouldn't be as many people buying used games.
Any one of those thing happen next gen and I'm calling it quits.

The three things that would make me quit gaming on new consoles:
Yeah, that's another thing that would probably do it for me, too. Don't think it's even remotely likely, though.
"'Grab the guns!' 'What about the troll?' 'Leave the troll.'"--ATHF
None of you examples really bothered me. I only game on the PC, and all the titles I buy are already purchased digitally. So Apple taking over the console industry and making everything digital really doesn't affect me at all.
If online play was completely abolished, I would probably RARELY play games, and I may even completely quit. 99% of my gaming time is spent playing some kind of multiplayer, whether it be Minecraft, Counter Strike or League of Legends.

The three things that would make me quit gaming on new consoles:
Woah haha. I am on the EXACT opposite side of the fence. If online multiplayer was phased out and if digital copies were phased out, I would call it quits.
Digital distribution is where I draw the line. The day I can't go out and purchase physical copies of my games is the day that I quit gaming.
I have to return some videotapes.
