That's a fairly ridiculous mischaracterization of religious faith. On a related note:

See, this isn't my first playthrough, so I was prepared. I tricked the game and played at night, just before midnight. So there wasn't any rest of the day to worry about! You should have watched a video. Or pushed refresh and started again.

How are you gonna spend the rest of your day?

I have been having a heck of a time finding a decent fantasy series to hook my attention. I seem to just hate all the magic stuff lately. I guess I might be better off finding something historical fictiony instead. I just want a decent coming of age adventure type story. I also can't find many triathlon history or biographies. I guess it is still too young of a sport to have a decent library.

Just as an aside, the whole pageant circuit is also a scholarship program for women. My wife was able to cover a couple semesters of school by participating in them. -
I did a group ride today and got dropped super fast. I was trying to catch up on a downhill and started skidding out, so I decided it was safest to fall back. It was humbling, but I've got some goals to work on. Still managed to get a beer at the end, so that is a victory.

No sarcasm. I agree about the length, for sure. I prefer the BBC model, where most series run for around 3 seasons and then end. That is also why I like a lot of the HBO and Netflix series, as a season tends to be much shorter and doesn't drag as often. I think I am also done with the weekly format. I would rather focus on one show at a time and watch the whole thing over the course of a week or two than try to remember all the plot lines over a few months.

I doubt it is 15 minutes of playtime to get to level 7 unless you have run through it a few times and know the quests. It is probably an hour or two if you are new to the game.

Whoa whoa, this isn't the Wild West. We have rules in C&C, and when you are asked to list your top 3 rpg's, you stop at 3! 1. Quest for Glory 2. Jagged Alliance 2 3. Fallout

Cinema Paradise - the Movie Thread Transformed
Hurlshort replied to Amentep's topic in Way Off-Topic
That's too bad. I mean, I assume you didn't grow up in arcades, which would mean the setting isn't going to hit home. Just like Deadpool really tends to work better if you grew up reading X-Men. They are basically parodying certain aspects of my childhood that I hold dear, and I enjoy it tremendously. -

Ehh. Hmm. Maybe it'll be alright. Cinderella broke her glass slipper and threatened to stab someone with it. It will be amazing. The original was fantastic. It's basically the Deadpool of kid's movies. -

I would also agree that it was better than TLJ. But I'm not sure if that is a real badge of honor. -
Pixiesrock started a spin off forum back in the day too, but I wasn't very good at checking it.

I believe the jail sentence was because he was either not permitted to carry or the gun was unregistered. But I agree about the job situation. -
At nearly 19 percent, hard to imagine it would not taste mostly like bourbon.

What the heck is Warframe and why am I just hearing about it?

I passed a few dead snakes on my run today, so I suppose that could be called a death zone. Poor guys. -
I went on a run with a group this morning and ended up with 14 miles. That is my longest by far. Everything hurts now, but I think I will survive. It was a beautiful run though, we ended up out by a reservior and run under some good tree canopies.

Pretty cool. I could never get into that game, but it is nice to see they are passionate about it. -
Thanks to Melk, I started a cult as well. So far I have no idea what I'm doing. I just lost my first acolyte, and I'm pretty miserable in my job. I may be in need of spiritual guidance.

Destroying livelihoods is a bit hyperbolic. -

I saw Solo. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies, so I had a good time. The action scenes were on point and there was some cool looking moments. Mother of Dragons and Woody Harrelson were entertaining, and Chewbacca was given a lot of screen time (which was great.) Donald Glover was kind of campy, but so was Billy Dee, so I thought that worked out well enough. Han seemed more like an impression of Karl Urban than Harrison Ford, and ultimately I think he was the worst of the cast, which is rough since he is the lead character. I wasn't happy with the romance or the Kessel Run. Which is a shame because they took a lot of screen time. But yeah, not the worst Star Wars movie. I'd actually put it around the quality of the animated series Rebels. Which might have been a better way to tell the Solo story, but I guess one-off movies are the new thing. I don't need a sequel. -

I remember thinking how bad that Human Head thing looked back in the day, but now that Prey 2 has been released and was the best game of the previous year, it's pretty clear that Bethesda knows what it is doing from a business perspective. -

You do know that the game is called Fallout 76 and not Fallout 5, right? The 76 is clearly a reference to the city of brotherly love. -
Nathan Fillion has a new show coming out where he is a 40-year old rookie cop. I'll probably give it a watch.
