Path of exile is about to release 6 new acts.

Diablo 3 is releasing a rehashed class.

Path of exile is free.

Diablo 3 is still overpriced.
Love me some PoE, it truely is the successor to Diablo2.

They are similar games directed at different audiences. When D3 did their big update (was it the expansion?) I finally gave in and started playing it. And I spent several hundred hours in it at least, probably more. PoE, I initially tried shortly after it came out but gave up before even finishing Cruel and went back to D3.

However, I recently restarted PoE and I'm enjoying it for the most part now. Although I think the ability to respec passive points is a little too restrictive, but whatever. There is a lot to like about it, but I can understand someone not wanting to invest the time it takes to learn the ins and outs that make the game really playable. Things like learning to setup a loot filter and using third party semi-official websites for trading. It takes a bigger commitment to get the full experience.

Yeah. I found the Subaru one on YouTube -- which is similar. The dog getting in the car as a pup, then as an adult, then as an old dog...

I can't find the dog food commercial that shows a dog growing up but it brings me to tears ...

A Subaru commercial I think? Try searching on that...

Heard of doggy diapers, have/had no idea how common their use is. However, it seems like more than enough reason to bypass dog ownership, despite the fact I like dogs.

Kidney transplant?
Don't know if that falls into realistic. While I am overweight and hence a candidate for Type 2 diabetes, being over 50 even if I degraded to the point of needing a kidney I'm not sure I could qualify to get one.
If an alcoholic drug addict with hep C (David Crosby) can get a liver at 54 why should you be any different.

Because I don't have the money to "buy" one...

I did a lot of flying pre 9/11 for work, and I was fine with it. But you couldn't pay me enough to do it now. I can't imagine a realistic circumstance which would induce me to fly these days...

Haha, great. The whole time I was thinking this could actually be a Disney Tron themed ride.

I'd agree there has been some influence back and forth between Rock and Rap. I'm not sure they should share a "Hall of Fame". Then again, I'm not really sure there needs to be a Hall of Fame for either. So... *shrug*

Hmm, the article title mentions 3840x1200, but the only mention of it in the article is a mock-up with two 1920x1200 monitors. I might consider this, but only if it is 3840x1200 and not 3840x1080.

Basically the only way to know you are going to get a good contractor is if you know someone who has hired that contractor within the last couple of years. The profession is littered with incompetent idiots and straight out con men. As I said in a previous OOTB, I wish you the best of luck in finding a diamond in the coal pile.

Holy crap, that save by the E2 pilot was pretty amazing. Love naval aviation, can't wait for the DCS F14 module to arrive! (2017 by all accounts).

A fantastic example of why you land on aircraft carriers at full throttle -- you only power down after the arresting cable has stopped you.
