ManifestedISO

Nothing since August feels weird but also good, until today before and after Thor: Ragnarok, found a new favorite beer style and brewer. Wild Barrel tasting room opened five weeks ago in San Marcos and features a 'Berliner Weisse' style sour, among others including wits, stouts, and IPAs, all of which earned the unheard-of and uncoveted Manifested 10/10. https://business.untappd.com/boards/25131/page/1

Leferd might appreciate this one. Paul Newman's daily-worn Rolex Daytona wristwatch sells at auction for $17.75M. http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a13105843/paul-newmans-rolex-sold-for-dollar178-million/

wow, groovy, I remember first reading Richard Knaak way back in the late 80s.

Nice, Batman: The Animated Series remastered to blu-ray, coming next year. No word on aspect ratio, audio, or if they're replacing frames with new animation. I would expect 4:3 and maybe 5.1, compared for no reason with TNG's live-action 1080p at 4:3, 7.1 DTS, and all-new CG planets and ships. Speaking of Trek, Marvel's Inhumans continues to induce face-palms with its writing and a pace that bores even forgiving viewers.

Supposedly Doohan's accent was one of several performed by James at audition, that Gene liked best, and Walter was added to appeal to a demographic. After TOS (or before, don't know), Roddenberry declared American English the language of the Federation and its member planets. Regional accents were to become officially rare, an excerpt from page 23, 'Star Trek The Next Generation Bible', written by Gene in 1987 as a show-writer's reference: Born in Paris, France, Picard betrays a gallic accent only when deep emotions are triggered. Otherwise, since ethnic accents are no longer common, he carries only a touch of French phrasing in his speech. I can't recall ever hearing even a touch. Also it states Data's name is to be pronounced with a short 'a' (that-a), among other points never-realized, so, the accent situation must have been fluid, too.

sorry, I can't help it, it's a sickness, selective, cruel ... the letters 'STD' form an initialism, whereas initials forming a spoken word (NASA) constitute an acronym. Lucifer premiere was fine, a little cheeky, needs more demon. In case Maze did show up for the last half ... switched over midway to re-brief last season's Super G finale ahead of Monday's premiere.

Condorman was mine, as an awe-struck nine-year old. Literal steely-eyed bad guys in fast cars, out-driven by a bumbling, earnest hero on land, in the air, underwater ... Been letting the hype build for Justice League, thought I better bring expectations down to zero by watching BvS. Who threatens someone's mom two movies in a row with different villains and expects anyone to enjoy that. Diana's debut doesn't disappoint, at least.

But I thought the protests were against state-level police action. What major impact is a federal constitutional rights debate going to have on city and state police procedures ...

Ken Burns' new PBS film, The Vietnam War. Thought I knew a lot about the period, but in truth it was a fraction. Compelling, varied perspective is the theme; music scored in part by Trent Reznor.

On console we're limited to 100 items in the party stash. I haven't yet checked the treasure chest in the stronghold, but it should be available for infinite storage. It it's not, then I'll be sad and wonder why the game economy was drastically altered.

I know there is another one at Obsidian. I can't remember whom exactly, but she's often included whenever Josh talks cheese, or he re-tweets her whenever she talks about cheese. Katrina, our host for the recent video updates, sorely missed during #ObsidianPlays streams.

Spacecraft are people, too, sorta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5ZrSKpbdSg

Is the Model 3 going to materialize this year ...

They're paying attention during the good episodes, then putting the chill in Netflix-and-chill when Voyager's on.

Maneha's my gal pal. It's Hiravias that I've never played his storyline and only heard his dialogue a couple times which qualifies me to say he's the worst character in the game without doubt.

Spinning up Josh's historical RPG set in the Star Trek universe, is my idea.

I watched it on the local FM radio station. Was more entertainingly tense than TV broadcasts of recent memory. Am now starting a gofundme to make icing the kicker illegal for thirty-one teams.

It is a word. Relating to luck or chance.

I'm on the fence whether 'aleatory' is a word or not.

Asian Box would be most welcome. Quik Wok won't even know what hit them. True, after the trainspotters crash out, a cottage industry of breakfast enthusiasts converge along the coast, pre-dawn to sunrise. Possibly the best local and regional fare for mexican, or waffles, veggies, eggs, fish, bacon, avocado everything ... the usual, but somehow so much better, served in open-air sidewalk cafes that vanish by 11am. Reasonably priced, too, for the most part. Should be criminal to settle for Jack in the Box.

Camels aren't even native to the Middle East. Wouldn't mind exploring that cognitive behavioral modding avenue. Seems our self constantly reminds ourself we could have done better at everything in a painfully insistent tone. Don't have a game gender preference. Equal fun as Lara C. or Nathan D.

Was outstanding. Super-talented people. Still turned-on a little.

The novel trilogy by Chuck Wendig is canon set between Jedi and Force Awakens explaining the origin of the First Order. Although even I have to agree about coming down to earth after watching VII enough times. Same with Rogue One. I'm content to wait for VIII.

Four of the voice actors live on stream tomorrow at Obsidian's twitch channel, Verse, Eb, Tunon, and the Mark, plus game devs. Looks fun. https://twitter.com/Obsidian/status/905478617655787520
