Quote for the Day:

It's basically a 40 something author writing a story about a teenager in the future who worships 80's nostalgia in the uber-geek manner by playing an MMO based around it, and thereby gaining world shaking power, influence, respect and the girl. Your mileage may vary depending on how you like your pop culture references dropped every other paragraph.

SG-1 does have a lot of very good moments to it. It builds up the universe in a way that works quite well, it has some epic quotes and hugely entertaining banter. Plus some villains that run that fine line of camp to evil mastermind to magnificent bastard.

Hmm. And for the latest teasers from ComicCon.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnaEUhfMUKQ

Beat me to it.

Ah, and for the other joys.. Independent - I'm a climate scientist in Alaska. Donald Trump has made me a whistleblower

I enjoyed Mad Max right up until the ending phase of the game. All of the films had a mood of crap happening, but still ending on an optimistic tone. The game doesn't quite have that. Sure, there were a few gameplay/mechanical issues I had with it, but for the majority of the time it was fun.

Well, just to jump away from health care and consider cyber-security... Bloomberg - Tillerson is said to shut cyber-office in State Department reorganisation

I was trying to decide if this was more the funny things side, but eh, I'll throw it in here for the military social aspect...

Not sure how many might have seen this before, but what the heck, it's worth a replay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBz-pwTyxtA

"Used to run a business that was primarily focused on real estate and personnel placement with some dabbling in construction and other industries." Technically that isn't an incorrect way of referring to leading an army of demons bent on conquest...

For a recent release on Amazon Prime that might provide a few chuckles... Nobility. Currently being dubbed a "dramedy, The Office in Space", it has a whole bunch of actors from various sci-fi shows playing the not so brilliant crew of the "best" warship in Humanities navy in the far future. When you have the likes of Cas Anvar (the Expanse), Walter Koenig (Star Trek & Babylon 5), Torri Higginson (SG:Atlantis & Dark Matter), Christopher Judge (SG1), Ellen Dubin (Lexx), along with a bunch of other faces and voices you'd recognise just simply having fun doing slightly twisted takes on some of the classic sci-fi show archetypes... All shot in a way to remind you of those low-budget early sci-fi series, that are kind of bad, but still enjoyable.

A lawyer, a spy, a mob boss, and a money launder walk into a bar. The bartender says: "you guys must be here to talk about adoption."

"RIP Republican Health Care Bill. In lieu of flowers, please send new representatives to Congress in 2018."

For the general consideration.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9DXSCpcz9E
