    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Saw this on Sunday and as a lifelong Star Wars fan... the movie was meh. Better than the prequels? Yeah, for the most part, but that's not a high bar. Let's see, the good parts that stood out: Good CGI and cinematography. Loved that the effects didn't detract from the experience or...

    Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Amazing!

    Women love this shit - same for why they love vampire flicks and other tween shit that makes me roll my eyes I couldn't help but roll my eyes at how fucking stupid they were militarily, the rest of the movie was unstomachable

    North Korea goes full retard

    It's not really that far fetched for Stalinist regimes. Precisely because it's happened that way before

    The Robots are Coming (DoD to replace one fourth of soldiers with bots by 2030)

    "The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and...

    MLB Hot Stove '13-'14

    Win-win for both team and player. Kershaw gets a potential second payday at age 30, Dodgers get him in his peak and aren't on the hook for very many years past his prime. Also, the Dodgers can definitely afford it. 2nd largest media market in the US, and they just signed a $7Billion dollar TV...

    That would be gay, it would kill any motivation for me to get a One on top of my PS4. I'd just stick it in the 360 and play as is

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    How is the PS4 controller battery life looking? I've heard it can last pretty short, and them being not replaceable is a tad worrisome Keep in mind I don't game very hardcore anymore so a lot of the exclusives aren't all that appealing to me. I'd probably use its entertainment features pretty...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Impulsively picked up a PS4 on Amazon and it already shipped. Debating on selling it for profit$ or keeping it around. It does have a lower cost of entry than the XB1.. cheaper accessories, PS+ is slightly cheaper, etc. but the current game selection isn't all that great and the good...

    Someone put it this way... it would be as if some secret service guys walked into a full assembly of Congress and dragged Joe Biden out, had him on trial a week later, and executed him immediately North Korea. The gift that keeps on giving

    crossfit?

    Get good at lifting first (esp. with form) before doing CrossFit - from my experience, those strong at CrossFit were all probably pretty good athletes with some weightlifting experience back in their younger days and are at far less of a risk of getting injured. My knowledge of lifting and form...

    Travelling in California

    Rent a car in LA/SoCal... it's simply way more efficient of a way to get around, especially with the sheer # of places/sights to see Also, if you are going from NorCal to SoCal, rent a car and take the drive down the 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) or 101 (they merge in a lot of places). Everyone...

    Crusader Kings II

    Yeah I want to form the latin one... which might happen anyways now that my heir is married to someone in the line of succession to the Byzantine Empire Really lucked out on HRE - they switched to primogeniture succession so it became just a matter of waiting for a female-only heir of a...

    Crusader Kings II

    Damn, this game keeps on getting better and better. Glad they're doing away with some of the creation requirements on empires/kingdoms and lowering the random rebellion rate - it was fucking annoying as hell having territories you owned for 100+ years constantly rebelling due to culture or...

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Heh, I'm not even looking at the changes... BG2 was about as perfect a game as it gets. Need to finish my current BG1 play through and import my bitch in to BG2 once I get to the xp cap. My last BG2+TOB playthrough was a little ridiculous as a Kensai/Thief so this time going something...

    The biggest part of Venetian/Palazzo for me is the size of the basic room. You can fit a lot of people in there and it's friggin amazing spot to pre-game so it's my go to choice when going with groups That said, the Cosmo rooms with balcony with fountain view is also friggin unbelievable...

    Buying a car?

    As a previous E46 M3 owner for 8 years, I'm admittedly a bit biased, but the M3 as a daily driver is the fucking win. Few cars handle and drive as well as that car while also being able to seat 5 and move a lot of shit with the folding seats Grim covered the issues quite well and yes, if you...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    LASIK is where they cut a flap (with a blade in the past, now most use lasers) and then reshape your cornea PRK, they basically remove the surface and reshape the cornea, hence the longer healing time - you need to have your surface cells grow back over your cornea The difference is, PRK...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    When I was -7, losing a contact meant I was fucked walking around (or god forbid, driving) with a single eye. Go out to a party you drove to? Meant I had to bring glasses or contacts so I could actually drive home the next day (instead of driving drunk) And that's just basic social stuff and...
