The Great Game Giveaway: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Edition
I thought about just coming up with a better solution or figuring out how to do near what I was doing in the new software but then came the second major reason that I stopped posting as often, after a while I was only buying games the folks here. The family members I was giving them to no longer wanted them and there was never any games that I was interested in. Selfish like market.

Good Old Games still good
The last two I played were Grey Goo and Dawn of War 3 and they both had my single most hated, I guess I'll call it a feature, of having a shared singular campaign that has you bouncing between factions. DoW3 really disappointed me across the board though.

The TV and Streaming thread renewed
Watched two stand-ups, one by Marc Maron and the other from Patton Oswalt. We really liked both but Patton was the funnier one.

What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
Trump was right all along I've not played much of anything today but I did get to level 31 is ESO the day before. I think what drives me so crazy is that I never feel like I'm accomplishing much as I level up as I barely feel more powerful at 31 than I did at level 1. Also still trying to clear out the majority of my quest log because when I started the game I had a quest that took me all over the place and I kept picking up more quests along the way and the log tops off at 25. I'm pretty sure the game started me someplace else than when I played before because I was fighting dragons without knowing what I was doing, other than dying a lot. Finished another game of Civ 6 yesterday. I didn't win yet but I was dominating so much that it was no longer fun. I'm not even that good but I had legendary start even though I don't think that exists in Civ 6 as a mechanic like it did before. I picked random civ and got the Maori who I've never used before and really had no strategy. I started in the ocean on a boat but landed on some islands between two continents that had goody huts galore and tons of resources. I was able to quickly expand to all five islands in my chain and also get a city on the coast of each continent. So with 8 cities fairly early in the game and all of the resources I could want I was already sitting pretty when the Ottomans or someone declared war on me. AI must have glitched or something because they had next to no army and fell like me trying to go down stairs. So now I had 11 cities who were strangely all happy enough not to rebel. A bunch of turns later I was winning in every category so I just called it quits because it's fun to dominate a little bit but not the entire game.

Yes, paid for by his rich absentee father as he is a C- D+ student at best. Hangs out with the "Do you know who my father is?" crowd.

Mother was physically present some of the time but never mentally there because of the pills and booze which she needed to deal with her husband who was always on "business trips."- Funny Stuff: A New Hope

Sounds like something a douchebag named Cameron would name his junk. I had to cut out almost all of what I had originally written up. I had a full backstory for this dude and everything but I don't think it really added anything to this post and mostly just showed how weird I am.- Politics XXXVI (will catch up to superbowls soon)

I think this is my last Google phone. I tried to buy one of those weird Euro chargers with the two little short for Richards but they won't sell one to me because I'm currently in the US. The official support response was to use an adapter or a computer or buy one when I get to Europe. Can anyone recommend me a good USB C charger for Europe? I don't know the brands at all.- What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
Champion 30? I've been playing this for a couple weeks and I still have no idea what much of anything is. I just hit level 28 I think it was after I decided to give the game another shot after my login issues.- What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
Doing a one city challenge game now as the Cree. Early game so far has been about spamming their unique recon unit for goodie huts and to meet some suckers friends to trade with.- What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread

Been playing more ESO with some Civ6 mixed in. I started just doing Dark Brotherhood missions almost non stop and only other quests if they are nearby or on the way, quest log is too small to pick up a bunch of quests at once. I went to log in just now and I got a login queue with a wait time of 25 minutes. Now I think I'm finally done with this game, not going to wait in line to play.- General Celebrity deaths

He may genuinely love the Picard show, I like a lot of bad stuff too, but his fawning over it in a those clips was a bit over the top. Obviously those clips were included to be made fun of and maybe they aren't as bad in the full context of the show but I'll probably never watch The Ready Room to find out.- The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
The clips of him from the Trek talky show that were in the Plinkett review really make me question his opinion on this stuff Shut up, Wesley! or just swap out Quark for Wil in this clip- Coronavirus: Continuing Vigilance
