I haven't posted much this season because my Jets were as bad as I thought they were. I have been of the opinion that they should've cut all their older, cap-sucking players; just blow the entire thing up and start building from the ground up. I like Todd Bowls, but he, like Rex Ryan, has tried to build the team through free agentcy instead of the draft.

And yet I still liked the Force Awakens better. Mind you, I've never been a big Star Wars fan.

If Martin was author of 2016 then the year would last 500 days and take 1,500 for him to write.

I can't . . . what song is this?

My favorite 2016 title (I'm not saying it's the best, but it is my favorite) was Oxenfree.

Finished rereading Dune for what must be the tenth time, and its still the best sci-fi novel ever.

I am Christian, but Jesus was rightly accused of sedition (crucifixion was a punishment reserved for sedition) for declaring himself the king of the Jews. Yet another example of a viral and factually incorrect tweet and the ignorant act like is full of wisdom.

Bottom right: Are you a lesbian? Take our quiz--you might be gay. I'm confused, do you want me to take the quiz or not?

Punchline: That's not a flashlight, that's my thorax!

Fisheye effect can be on and off toggled in setting.

They added witcher senses, which is a feature I'd like to see in more games. So a point in their favor.

No. The government should protect the people by securing the border, enforcing the laws and regulating and administrating in such a way that allows for a fair opportunity for economic success. It is incumbent on the people to take care of themselves. As somebody who grew up a ward of the state, I can't tell you how much I agree with this.

There's always next year. Oh, wait . . .

I would argue that video games get most things in life wrong, and that's okay because gameplay trumps all.

They're not called Cossacks for nothing.

The Jets managed to tie Bye Week. I'm gonna call that a step in the right direction.

I have an grass owl in my pocket named 'Que?'. Bless you, Pokémon, bless you.

An old post, but I think I found the answer "why?" and came along with my Gwent beta key: there are microtransactions in Gwent for card packs. Playing rounds against people earn you in game currency that you can use to purchase packs, or you can do the microtransactions.

Sweet visual pun, Batman.

Finished my second playthrough of Tyranny. I think I like it better than POE. Now its back to ESO until Friday when Pokémon Sun and Moon come out (pun intended; deal with it).

I did the same but not for any real reason other than to everyone's reaction. Ah, Tyranny, my own personal social experiment.

Regarding ME4: mining with the Mako = foraging for elfroot. Dragon Effect: Andromeda Inquisition.

New PETA meme: Bacteria are people too.

I'm about 12 hours in.

The real question is if the Alpha Centaurians built the dome to prevent humanity from sending aid to the Martians in eternal war for freedom from the Space UN?
