The NHL Thread
Of course I do. Sharks need to move some of their great young talent for someone who can score regularly. Instead they are letting the waiver wire take their players away. Patty Marleau is thriving in Toronto and I'm super happy for him. He just passed my other favorite player, Brenden Shanahan, for total games played. Vegas has been a crazy story. I'm going to Vegas to see the Sharks play them at the end of March. I figured I could get a decent price on tickets, but with them winning so much, it cost me a pretty penny. Brent Burns shows up to practice with my son's age group on occasion. Scott Hannan is a regular as well. It's pretty fun watching it, these kids have no idea how good those guys are.

Morgan Spurlock from Super Size Me has taken an unusual tack in this whole misconduct thing. I guess it is something that he came forward with it, but I don't see much to sympathize with.

No, I mean he apparently doesn't know how to ride a horse properly. I can't speak with any expertise, as I don't either, but I don't parade my lack of skill in front of camera crews.

I did read something where a bunch of horse people were questioning his form and riding ability.

DC would be a ghost town if people had to pass mental health tests. Of course, so would Hollywood.

Since we've got a best game of the year thread going in C&C, I wonder what you guys would pick as your best movie of 2017? My choice is Logan. I don't even really consider it a comic book movie. It's just such a perfect ending to the character, and yet it is also perfect as a self contained piece. I think it will stand the test of time.

Mount and Blade and Privateer are good ones, I can't believe I forgot them.

Not to mention Donnie Brasco, Fear and Loathing, and Blow. I guess you can argue that he has a stable of characters that he repeats a bit. He has the lady's man character, the drunk, the street tough, the quiet thinker...etc.

Still crazy that he has managed half a million votes so far.

Ah, see this is an interesting line. Despite our sensitive Polish friend not being able to vote, the fact is a bunch of real people from Alabama will because they believe exactly this. I mean even with quite a few Republican leaders disowning him, and those that support him basically saying policies are Moore important than his past, people are still going to see this as a fairy tale concocted by the evil left. It's comical because I have confidence that the Ethics committee will make short work of him if he is actually elected. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/12/11/should-conservatives-vote-for-roy-moore.html Has anyone noticed some odd changes to the posting style of Sharpie in the last few months? I know some of it may just be that he cuts and pastes from other sources, but his grasp of English seems to have changed. Man, every day I miss WoD.

Smith has turned in some pretty good dramatic roles, even though he does kind of stick to a character type. Honestly if he never did anything after Six Degrees of Separation I would still respect him as an actor. That was a shocking performance from him.

Pictures of your Games Episode X - The Journey to Babel
I customized my Wasteland 2 party to fit the personalities of my wife and kids. I let them add input and choose their avatars. It was pretty engaging, but I definitely had to keep them all alive. I ended up taking all the skills that no one else wanted. Which parallels well with reality.

What are you playing now
Finished Dishonored 2 with Emily. I tried not to kill anyone, but apparently a couple people did die from untimely accidents. That being said, it was a great playthrough and I enjoyed the challenge of not using any magic.

It's a tough case. I mean I can see why a jury doesn't want to send the officer to prison. The reality is he was trained to handle this type of situation in this manner. We need to drastically think the way we are training officers to respond to these scenarios.

If the Yankees land Stanton, it is pretty clear that Jeter is still working for his old team.

I'm guessing Tarantino's ST would just be a couple crew members stuck in a cave on a planet talking a lot and trying to figure out who the bad guy is. Which I'd totally watch.- Trump vs Talking Heads
That 2nd one isn't in an area I frequent much, but in the first thread you've got a lot of regulars like Shady and Monte supporting the idea that women struggle to meet certain physical requirements, while others argue that women can fire a gun as well as a man. Hardly comes across as anything like you characterized it. Of course, maybe I'm just reading what I expect to read out of your statement.- Nerdgasm: Movies and Shows for Geeks and Nerds
I enjoyed that book. It might turn out pretty well.- Trump vs Talking Heads
Hah, I remember that discussion. No one said anything of the sort. That's really the thing, a lot of times people hear what they want to hear rather than actually engaging in a discussion. I am sure we all do it. We post something and expect that people will react in a certain way, and tailor our response to our expectations instead of the actual response.- Politics Thread: 13 Ghosts
Do you think you can explain the humor here? I don't get it.- The Weird, Random and Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
