"The determined Real Man can instigate violence in any ruleset."

A Real Man can butcher things with more efficiency, brutality, and pure manly Conan-like Epic Awesomeness in RQ6 than in any other game system. :cool:

BTW, Real Men don't eat Quiche, they eat Bacon, Egg, Sausage, Cheese, and Onion Deep Dish Omelettes...in a pie!

Quote from: dragoner;898504Maybe not, however if China, the world's largest consumer is slowing production and laying off workers, there could be an even worse situation in Canada.

Oh, sorry, I was responding to post #50. I didn't see that people had responded in the middle.
Daniel asked if Krimson was "doubling down on the thesis that Alberta's run out of oil," which is a nonsequitor because it wasn't even remotely Krimson's stated position.

Anyways, good that people are finding cost effective ways to enjoy gaming.

Quote from: Krimson;898538That's why I'm happy I'm in an industry that depends on people requiring food to exist. I have at least one coworker who returned because after years of getting his degree so he can work in the oil field, there are now no jobs in that field especially for new entrants.

It's very weird being financially better off than people I've known for decades and if the industry doesn't recover this time around, I think things are going to look different in the upcoming decade.

It's oil. It will always recover, until the day we invent a killer app for solar (or some other energy source, nuclear, wind, cow farts, whatever) that provides as much energy at a lower cost than oil.

Who ever coined that phrase must have never eaten quiche. I used to eat those by the mound when I worked at a bakery. Great for building muscle.

I've been reading about Hafþór's (the Mountain, from Game of Thrones) diet.
Evidently, real men eat oats, sweet potatoes, artichoke hearts, fistfuls of spinach, and huge amounts of ground beef.

I do think that the economy will recover but I doubt the oil industry will be the cash cow that it has been here for decades. Mind you a couple of pipelines and a refinery would help. And maybe a US administration who isn't scared of pipelines.

Stats for "Lye to the Face" as a weapon, you can't beat it.
