"I was a huge BL and BL2 fan. I was a huge fan of Gearbox in general. I dropped the $90 for TPS with season pass at launch because of my fandom and faith in Gearbox. TPS really took the wind out of the sails of my fandom. I am still holding out some hope for BL3 since it with be their A-team and not 2K Australia, but who knows." - Kevin Bondelli

"I think having a thread like you mention is fine, as long as it is in addition to and not instead of the individual posts. For me personally, checking /r/GameDealsMeta/new and seeing the individual posts for the games that have just had their keys released is more convenient than having to check a thread that has a bunch of information about what is coming out when etc etc etc." - Kevin Bondelli

"Former guitarist for Night Ranger off his appropriately titled solo debut *Lone Ranger*. Sammy Hagar is featured on this track." - Kevin Bondelli

"Scrolled through the all the comments just to make sure somebody made this reference. Upvote." - Kevin Bondelli

"Off of *Endgame*." - Kevin Bondelli

"The giveaway thread post isn't here for some reason but I have an extra code for **Cinders** and **Deep Dungeons of Doom.** Send me a PM asking for one and first message for each will get the code. I'll update the comment when they are gone." - Kevin Bondelli

"Some early Bowie. Off his 1967 self-titled." - Kevin Bondelli

"It might be a bit of a stretch, but I love this song a lot. I'm just going to say he is talking about buying her things. *I'll give you candy, give you diamonds Give you pills, give you anything you want Hundred dollar bills I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see Just marry me, marry me, marry me*" - Kevin Bondelli

"I have an extra key for **Paranormal State, Dungeon of Elements**, and **Dr. Who**. Please send me a PM requesting only one of them. First person to message for each game gets the key and I'll only be messaging back the first people. I'll update this comment when they are gone." - Kevin Bondelli

"I recommend *Terror in the Name of God* by Jessica Stern. She addresses extremist militants from multiple faiths and goes into the core questions of their extremism." - Kevin Bondelli

"The title is playing on that, but the plot of the book involves a gunman opening fire in a shopping mall in Britain and a man (whose father was a victim) investigating it. It's like a dystopia that seems really close to reality." - Kevin Bondelli

"I specifically had to submit this one since it released the year I turned 16 and received my license. I listened to this album a lot in high school. Don't judge me." - Kevin Bondelli

"I reread The Shining a couple months ago and it's still magic." - Kevin Bondelli

"The option I have is expensive, but the 3-volume [World Encyclopedia of Political Systems and Parties](http://www.amazon.com/World-E...) is exactly what you are describing. Each country has an entry. I will use the entry on India as an example of how the entries work. The entry for India is 19 pages with information on the system of government, the electoral system, the party system, entries on the major and minor political parties, description of other political forces, and a summary on national prospects. One one hand, these books are really informative and provide good briefings on each country. On the other, this set is expensive and political structures change quite often in many parts of the world, rendering entries obsolete." - Kevin Bondelli

"I read Meg Wolitzer's *The Interestings* when I was 30 and in lost-in-life mode. It affected me more than another other book at that time." - Kevin Bondelli

"My go-to New Mexico writer is Rudolfo Anaya. *Zia Summer* is one of his thrillers." - Kevin Bondelli

"I would recommend almost anything by JG Ballard. Specifically in this case *High Rise* and *Kingdom Come*." - Kevin Bondelli

"I'm going to give a serious answer to what may or may not be a serious question based on my experience as a former political staffer. In general, most senators don't read magazines cover to cover and nowadays rarely touch the actual magazine. Their staff reads sources and gives the member a clips list of articles/news items that are important for the member to be familiar with. The sources that make it into those lists depend on the member and their state. I would break them into a couple categories: * National news magazines * Local magazines (what your constituents are reading) * Issue/policy magazines/journals National news magazines are Time, Newsweek, New Yorker, etc. Local magazines are specific to their state (for example and Arizona senator would get clips from Arizona Capitol Times and Phoenix New Times). The issue/policy magazines/journals largely depends on committee assignments and their personal platform focus. For example, a senator on the Foreign Relations committee..." - Kevin Bondelli

"Different charities/foundations have different strategies. Some focus on short-term aid and others work on sustainable solutions. In terms of the difference in mission between non-profits and government, there are some problems that require the power of a government to solve. Income inequality, environmental policies, etc. often require government policy. Ideally I would say that governments would be able to and should plan for long-term strategies to solve these massive problems. Unfortunately that is unlikely since one of the drawbacks of democracy is that it is extremely short-sighted." - Kevin Bondelli

"It can be confusing because there is a live version where he sings it with Paula Cole from the mid-90s and another more recent live recording with Ane Brun." - Kevin Bondelli

"This is a non-fiction suggestion, but it seems relevant: **Truong Nhu Tang - A Viet Cong Memoir** This is often assigned in university courses on the Vietnam War and is considered one of the best sources from the VC perspective." - Kevin Bondelli

"From the album *So*." - Kevin Bondelli

"*You* by Carol Kepnes. I was pleasantly surprised by it." - Kevin Bondelli

"*Naked Lunch* by Burroughs was the first book that came to mind. Maybe *Crash* by Ballard as well." - Kevin Bondelli

"This was the jam when I was 9. Off *C.M.B.*" - Kevin Bondelli

"I have an extra key for **Final Dusk**, **Sweet Lily Dreams**, **Tesla Breaks the World**, and **Whisper of a Rose**. Send me a PM requesting one of the games (only one) and the first person to message for each game will get the key. I'll only be messaging the people who get keys and will edit this comment once they are gone." - Kevin Bondelli

"On the perfect for this theme album *Here Comes Science*." - Kevin Bondelli

"He is super mellow, so he will let me do pretty much anything." - Kevin Bondelli
