  1. TB mode made the gameplay way more engaging for me. I had finished PoE1, but kept stalling out on the starter island in PoE2 until TB mode was introduced.
  2. The tears of Dodgers fans will sustain me throughout the day.
  3. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm had a fantastic ending. It took a bit of work to set it up, but it was well worth the wait. Part of the fun of these films is trying to figure out how in on it certain people are. Some of his appearances had already made news, so that was fun to see in action, but the way they tied it all together was really perfect.
  4. In terms of the Supreme Court, Biden has no chance of making the changes that Trump has managed in his 4-year term. You are looking at a 6-3 conservative split, with Breyer being the only one likely to need a replacement in the near future. Even if they manage to pass a term limit of 18 years, this is going to be a very conservative court for long stretch. So yeah, I don't get all the conservatives bemoaning the future of the country. Everybody likes to cry wolf.
  5. I didn't really see the reason to buy it on Epic when I could pay $5 to play it on the Xbox gamepass thingee. I just don't use Epic very much. I will probably buy it on Steam or GoG after I get paid so I have my own copy.
  6. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54670269 So Biden said something surprisingly reasonable about oil and the environment, and now he has to backtrack or it will kill him politically.
  7. Burger and Sausage aren't a type of food though. It's a packaging or presentation of food. Bread is supposed to be bread, not cake. I don't think they call it "Ham' burger either, I imagine it is just Burger.
  8. That is a fantastic name for a game.
  9. I wonder if they filmed Mank at Hearst Castle. I love that place.
  10. Quibi shut down after 6 months. Pretty crazy after they raised a billion+, you would think you would have a bit more runway. Some of the shows looked alright, so hopefully we will see them elsewhere.
  11. No thanks, I like being able to sleep at night.
  12. We used to get a Round Table personal pizza whenever the Sharks scored 4 goals (you had to show a ticket for the game.) But then the Sharks becaame a decent team and they killed that promotion. No way am I taking a free taco from anyone wearing Dodger blue!
  13. American Democracy is at its best at the local level. Everyone kind of seems to overlook the fact that voters have way more purchase and influence at the local level, and the reality is that is the stuff that tends to affect your day to day life. Then we have a bit more messiness at the State level, and then it gets crazy at the Federal level. Honestly these federal elections are really just slightly more important than which sports team wins the National title. Sure, I love when my team wins. It makes me happy. It might even be good for the local economy where that team is from. But yeah, it's not that important because a new season is just around the corner, and your star player was probably doping all year long anyways. I may have lost track of my metaphor...
  14. WotC really seems to be a mess.
  15. The Last Starfighter is an IP I would love to see further developed.
  16. Yeah, they had a teaser at the end of the run. I think I like my documentaries to wrap up a bit more timely than this thing. But it is still a pretty good watch.
  17. QFG Breakdown: QFG1 - Spielburg is a Medieval Hamlet in the mountains. QFG2 - Arabian Nights Theme in the Desert QFG3 - Sub-Saharan African Theme QFG4 - Transylvania Theme QFG5 - Greek? I don't know, it wasn't the same as the others.
  18. Dreamland Chronicles was the real cancelled Xcom game. Blizzard had another MMO in development that became Overwatch. I would have liked to see that. This whole crowdfunding age has really given me one more crack at the favorites. Lori and Corey Cole got to make a decent Quest for Glory type game and Julian Gollop got to make a decent Xcom type game. Now I just need Ian Currie to make a decent Jagged Alliance type game.
  19. The Vow has been a fascinating look at cults, but I am worried the final episode is not going to answer all the questions I still have.
  20. There is a VGA version of Quest for Glory. I assume your Steam collection should have it. Great game!
  21. I tried to change a tire on our old truck that just mysteriously exploded (it was old, and the side walls basically just blew out.) Getting the spare to drop from underneath the back was the first issue. I needed a special tool. I assumed I needed a traditional long tire iron, but all I had was a cross iron. Then I tried to loosen up the lug nuts and failed miserably. After about an hour of messing with it, I gave up and called roadside service. Funny part is the guy shows up and doesn't have a tire iron. So we dig around in my truck a bit and find this weird tool for dropping the spare. It was under the passenger seats, and I'd been digging in the tool boxes. Doh! Then he loosened the lug nuts up, changed the tire in about 5 minutes, and confiscated my man card.
  22. I did an 80-mile ride for Diabetes. Our team raised $30k for the ADA. It was a good day.
  23. Who do you really think this matters to, though? It would seem to just reinforce Trump's supporters beliefs, but I don't see how it sways anyone after all the investigations that Trump has been involved in. You really think one guy is worse than the other here? I lost faith in the power of the last minute exposure stuff after Trump skated away from the kitty grabbing tapes.
  24. I thought this was a pretty solid breakdown of the progress Trump has made, whether you agree with the changes or not: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37982000
