Movies You've Seen Recently
I thought it was OK. Can't remember too many good superhero movies. It stood out because the superhero banter worked, you know those speech bubbles spider man does while punching people, those had never been captured effectively in a movie before. I don't know if I want that much interior dialoge in every superhero movie from now on but it was interesting to observe.

This might well become my only Day 1 purchase of the year, along with Battle Brothers. Glad they've improved on the formula, and hope they get enough sales to keep making. I dunno, I remember Blackguards, the last turn based hex game I played.

What you did today
Gym and a routine must become a lifestyle choice, if you not committed and make these types of excuses then rather not go I have been making excuses to go to gym the last 6 months but started last week but I injured my muscle while rowing. I have been in such pain but its getting better now so maybe I'll take 1 week off Next time I intend to warm up properly I would say one can benefit greatly from a workout even if it's just once or twice a week compared to nothing. That's about the extent I can muster. I'm not one of those lifestyle people. I only go because I want to, that's not an excuse, and then the one near me closed and... now it's starting to sound like an excuse isn't it.

What's so Funny?

Ended up ordering a Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4 and I probably overpaid, but I can have it in hand in a couple of days.- What you did today
- Steam Haven
That would be all games you have currently installed. umm, whenever I start a steam game the steam executable starts first.- Music. Must. Go on!
I actually met DJ premiere and Guru, made some off hand remark about Guru approaching drinking like it was an olympic sport. He was drunk AF. Didn't even know it was them. If I had I would have said some dumb fan boy thing instead, that's what everybody else did. I kept it cool by pure accident.- Music. Must. Go on!
- I never finished Pillars of Eternity.
Gorgon replied to JFSOCC's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Nothing wrong with having 'useless' avenues for stat increases that might give you more options for dialogue for instance. I like the idea of making stats less important when weighed against feats, low stat requirements for feats would make for less min-maxing for instance. Are they called skills in Pillars, I can't even remember. EDIT : Skills, abilities and talents should have more diminishing returns imho, you could go all practical but the loss compared to trying out an 'unfeasible' path should be less. I hesitate to use the word 'powergamer' but that's usually what I wind up doing, I can't help myself. Whenever I play a game with less requirements and less lost in the creation of an unlikely build it feels liberating.- Need a new phone
Getting an Android to replace POS windows phone. Heard good things about Xiaomi as well.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
It is pretty odd that there have been no new STALKER games though,. I'd buy the hell out of one.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Animations are the same pretty much tho. So is it just a texture pack ?. They don't really hold up for 2017. The creatures that is, the HUD and weapon amims are new.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
So it's a remake of Call of Pripyat? Nice. What I really want is a brand new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game (is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 ever going to happen?), the Metro games were great, but much more linear and scripted experiences (not that that's a bad thing), whereas S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was more open with much more emergent gameplay (one of the best emergent gameplay experiences ever IMHO). I'll take it.- Fly United or Else!
- Fly United or Else!
I watched Jimmy Kimmel a few days ago he said stock had plummeted to the point where United could have bought all three passengers their own jet instead of kicking them off and the cost would have been the same. I don't think that a settlement will necessarily help United that much though, they may not be able to kiss and make up with a large bag of money, the damage to public perception will still be done.- US attacks on Syria
Point being that it's completely meaningless without doing what it takes. If you remember Iraq, that could mean hundreds of people with free range to go wherever they please.- US attacks on Syria
One of the first things he says is that Syria hasn't got chemical weapons. mmhmm. The process was simply Assad going 'here's what I got, come and get it'. No inspectors no nothing.- US attacks on Syria
mmm. I find it unlikely that a bomb hit a rebel chemical weapons depo by chance. I also find it unlikely that it would all be a hoax designed to get the US more involved, but there is also the fact that chemical weapons are unique in their ability to penetrate to western TV screens. So much so that this negates much of their use on the battlefield, politically they don't seem worth it. My guess, a local commander did it of his own volition. Assad has chemical weapons tucked away for a rainy day, why wouldn't he. He's in a war, is he going to give up weapons. No, he's going to make a show of compliance and that will be enough. - Need a new phone
