@Eld, those are likely raised from cubs in captivity, so probably considerably docile for now.

I'll be honest. I'm amazed she's not mobbed by the people.

Not sure if this is a proper place for it, but if you're interested in getting the Majora's Mask remake for the 3DS, I found a really good deal with Dell: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=US&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A8176087

Basically you pre-order the game like usual, but for one, you can get next day shipping for absolutely free, and two, they include a $25 dell gift card for free.

Be warned, the website is a bit annoying to use and of course, the selection is limited, so you'll want to shop around on the website to see if there's anything you'd actually want first, but if you're in the market for getting new computer accessories, some various video games or other things, it's definitely worth a look. You'll get the code for the eGift Card around 10 days after you place your order. Just don't be afraid to poke their live chat representatives (or call) if you run into problems, their website is a bit poorly maintained. 

Still, to basically get the game for the same price I'd be paying anyway, plus fast shipping, plus $25 towards something else (for me, another 3DS game), it's a pretty sweet deal.

Does it make me a bad person that i don't know who that is in the pic?

I didn't know either. A bit of a reverse image search on google got me... Chloe Moretz. (So yeah, Hit Girl.)

I at least feel less bad for not recognizing her now that I know it's not someone I've ever heard of.

Half Life 2: Episode 2 left it on such a cliffhanger!

I want Half Life 3 so much.

I was so damn addicted to this series. Then I hit book 10 (in which, spoiler, nothing happens) and just got so fed up with how much he was milking it that I rage quit before 11 came out.

Weirdly, the further and further I got away from the series, the more I realised how much I disliked pretty much most of the characters (and his manic use of stupid create-drama-through-misunderstanding devices). Consequently... even though I bought the next books, I still havent read them.

Once Brandon Sanderson takes them up (the last three), they actually get good again. It's a long slog through the end of Jordan's writing, but I promise, it does get pretty damned good.

I had a similar experience with book 4 - not really rage quit, it just stopped holding my interest and I didn't finish it - but I went back and started from the beginning when book 5 or 6 came out and just breezed through. The real rage came later when the breaks between books started getting longer and longer, but by then I felt invested enough that I couldn't bring myself to not read them as they came.

The thing that really started to get to me was the constant reminders of how (depending on the gender of the character being followed at the moment) men are all wool-headed idiots and women are completely inscrutable. I'd hoped that Sanderson would at least get away from that, but if anything it felt like he exaggerated it in an effort to be true to the originals or something. I don't really know how much of my increasing annoyance with those aspects was due to the long breaks between books giving more distance from the series, and how much was just my tastes maturing over the 20 years it took to finish the series, but either way, 30-year-old me was not nearly as impressed with the end of the series as 10-year-old me was with the beginning.

I will grant, though, that Sanderson did pick up the pace pretty drastically, which made 11-13 considerably easier reading.

Berenene

Yeah, that is one of my biggest dislikes with the books. Women think men are idiots and vice versa. That and I want to punch mat in his one eyed face. I'm up to book 8 or 9 I think, but I still can't stand the little twat.
