What did you do today?
Yay for cycling. I love how fast recovery time is after a day on my road bike.

Cinema Paradise - the Movie Thread Transformed
Hah, I did enjoy that, for a short while when this movie was somewhat fresh, I would have a handful of students that were aware of Hadrian's Wall. Trying to explain the history of the Romans in Britain to middle schoolers is a bit tricky.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - BATTLE ROYALE
Well, I only watched the one video, but did she make some sort of claim that was untrue? Is she misleading people? I blog(ged) about beer and beer history, but I am certain there more informed and experienced voices out there. Heck, there were probably even a fair amount of mistakes in my work. It was really just me sharing my personal experiences with a small (like super tiny) audience. I suppose it is fair game for criticism, but I'm not sure why anyone would bother.

What a weirdly hostile reaction to someone's youtube channel. I guess SonicMage was right about the criticizing stuff. The internet is a strange place.

Pictures of your Games 11 - The Quickening
I'm pretty sure it was. Of course, it looks like they've created a ton of unique tilesets, artwork, and music, so that's impressive.

Geez, long story short, temporary employee chooses to pursue different job. What is to criticize? I mean, there is some nice insight into the game industry, I suppose.

World Cup 2018
That's the cross that the best teams bear. Yankees and Patriots face the same thing. It's basic sports psychology. Most people root for their team, against teams they hate, or the underdog. Brazil has too much success to be considered an underdog, so unless you are already a fan or you hate the team they are playing, you will likely root against them.

That TV Topic
Finished Season 2 of Goliath. For some reason, this show is super binge worthy for me. Season 2 wasn't quite as good as 1, but honestly I just watch it for the great cast interactions and it was still a hit in that way. Story got a bit muddled and ended weirdly, but hopefully it was just to set up the next one.

Psst, the entire "me too" movement is based on that. But Im sure the 5 second grope he endured damaged him for life. smh. I do not get you at all. This reads like a complete lack of empathy.

Way to completely ignore the first part of the interview that addresses positions of power and how they are used to protect predatory behavior.

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
I agree with most of what GD says. I'm not quite as condemning of the police, because I feel like their training reinforces certain flaws instead of correcting them. I also think there was opportunity to prevent the Maryland newspaper shooting by our legal system. It wasn't on the day of the shooting, but rather way ahead of time. There was a lot of build up to this guy walking into the building with a gun. The warning signs were there. Now obviously hindsight is 20/20, but we need to continue to learn and improve how we handle mental health in this country. I wish the energy that was spent on all this gun debate was focused on creating a society where people don't go on mass shooting sprees.

The limit exists to prevent people from spamming a topic with a ton of videos, so maybe choose the best two and stick with that.

Just finished a campaign of Xenonauts, and now I am starting up the GTA V story.

We could also probably train our police to not pull their guns out all the time. I am not sure those victims would benefit from having guns of their own as much as just not having cops who wave their guns around like it is the only way to deal with a situation.

The Good Place is fantastic. Ted Danson and Kristin Bell are just perfect.

What are you playing right now?
I spent a few bucks to pick up Rust, but I can not get it to run easily. It takes forever to load servers, and then the performance is just a no-go. Might need to just give it up.

Sorry to hear that Bart.

Well it's a bit more than just gaining a few pounds. Everything stretches.

To be fair, pregnancy in general is super sexist. The woman has to grow an entire person inside her body while the man, if he's a decent sort, just goes on snack runs and holds her swelling hands.

Rogue Legacy is great, but it definitely needs a controller.
