How often do you find that the murderer's co-workers suspected something was wrong?
How many of your investigations were triggered by a co-worker's report?

Let's not go overboard with the nobility thing. Discovery canceled Dirty Jobs. It's not like Mike quit doing it because he was offended by the network's other programming.

But to his credit, they did offer him some other positions in the "scripted but we'll pretend it's real" category, and he turned that stuff down until he could do a show he felt was reasonably authentic.

Follow me, brother. I was 11B as well. The day I got out I swore that if I always had hot chow to eat, a dry place to sleep, and I never had to run another step or road march another mile I'd never complain about anything.
I can't say I've stuck to that perfectly, but 30 years later I find it's still good to have some perspective on what real misery feels like.

I was lucky, though. Other than some nightmares and feeling a little jumpy sometimes I never had any significant mental issues to deal with. I can definitely see how hitting the trail and just going forever would help with that. It has a way of clearing the bullshit from your head.

I'm an atheist and when it's my time to check out, I'd be pretty comfortable doing it among Buddhists. At least there I wouldn't have to worry about Christians badgering the shit out of me, convinced I'm about to be subjected to horrific tortures by their loving god. Forever.

I've been surprised at the number of RS1 and RS1-DLC song arrangements that changed when they were brought into RS2014. Generally pretty subtle changes - a note here and a note there - but they seem, for the most part, like corrections and improvements.

I was curious as to what prompted those changes? Were they products of player feedback? Did someone else on the development team decide something was probably played differently? Have you ever had a musician contact you and say "No, this is how I played that."?
