  1. Speaking of Netflix, I have been watching Mindhunters and it is fantastic. I have Netflix and Amazon (for the shipping as well, although they've also become my place to buy digital movies.) I splurged on HBO Now (or is it Go?) and I've been happy with their mix of content and newer movies. But that's probably my limit, I can't imagine holding more than 3 subs. It's a great time to be a content creator, I'd imagine. All of these networks are trying to attract subscribers with original content. I don't think it can last, but my hope is the cable model where a couple companies make you pay one price for a ton of content you don't want will die off soon. The problem is local news and sports are still a big pull for the traditional model.
  2. It's strange to me that people are toting it as the year's top shooter when there wasn't much competition to begin with. Call Of Duty... and? Maybe Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 of those can be called shooters. Hmmm. That actually sounds like some pretty major competition. Call of Duty's return to WW2, Bungie's first full sequel to their major property, and a Star Wars game are pretty big deals.
  3. I was expecting more of this...
  4. Louis CK also doesn't have quite as far to fall as a comedian known for saying dirty stuff. He can probably recover. Kevin Spacey was a well respected dramatic actor.
  5. My RV has a good amount of water damage to the front cabover section. It will probably cost a few thousand dollars to fix, at least. I put in a claim to see if my comprehensive insurance will cover it, but I'm not holding my breath.
  6. Yeah, I petered out during the 2nd act, just like I did in the original. Still, I had a blast with it for about 30 hours and will probably try and get back into it eventually.
  7. Morrorwind is really all about the questing. It adds a ton of flavor to the whole world. I'd say you are missing out on a ton without the DLC and Morrowind.
  8. Spoiler alert, the dog in Marley and Me dies. edit: My apologies, he goes to live on a farm out in the country.
  9. Driving a car is not compulsory though.
  10. Did they accept blame, or are they saying you rear-ended them?
  11. Most forms in the US let you decline to answer questions on gender and race.
  12. Pretty interesting race to upset an incumbent in Virginia. Bathroom bills are dumb.
  13. The 2nd Thor movie did a great job of salvaging Loki. I've been having a blast with all of these MCU movies. They've created a very fun universe. I'll probably go see the new Thor this holiday weekend.
  14. I would put Split next to Unbreakable. Although it is a much darker film.
  15. The other day I made it about 3 miles in 30 minutes, so I just turned around and called in sick. I made a decent day of it though.
  16. I'd say it was as good as the first one. It was an easy to watch action flick. Colby Smulders wasn't very good.
  17. Jack Reacher got a couple movies.
  18. Playing Arkham City a bit. I loved Asylum but never got hooked into the sequels. Maybe this time I will stick with it. Also trying to resist the urge to buy the new AssCreed. I will try to wait for a sale.
  19. We used to force people into treatment quite regularly though. The deinstitutionalization of psych wards is a pretty complex case. I want to see way more progress made in mental health care in this country and would love if that were the dominant conversation over gun control or Islamic extremism. Personally I think we've become too focused on drugs over treatment and education.
  20. I agree with this.
  21. The chicken flying was a mode? Yep. Did you watch the video? They explained it and put in a disclaimer.
  22. That wasn't a bug, it was a developer version and Conan kept unlocking the developer god mode.
  23. The thinking behind it is pretty nefarious though. It's meant to encourage players to become jealous of each other's gear and be motivated to spend more. It's all backed by hard data and research. Sure, it's pretty blatant, but every commercial product is trying to get you to spend money.
  24. He also wants to come here, which is a big deal, as not many sluggers want to play in SF.
  25. Stanton to SF!
