    What are you listening to at the moment?

    ^ I've found this version really catchy ever since they opened one of the Underbelly seasons with it: Had this stuck in my head all day after it popped up on a youtube playlist:

    Lucifer

    At least they gave some kind of justification for why Amenadiel wears that stupid necklace nonstop, even if we don't know exactly what it's power is. Anyway the show pretty much cruises by on laughs and decent acting, as long as they keep that going I'm pretty happy to watch the cast do whatever.

    Billions

    Second season was kinda engaging, but I'm not sure how much more I can handle the whole "tense manly confrontation where they act like they're either gonna start fighting or making out but someone just says something dramatic then runs to their lawyer" thing this show keeps doing.

    Dresden Files

    A whole new unpublished short story? I'm overwhelmed :|

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Did you read the first Dark Angels book? That was the one that made me start just skipping forward to whatever looked interesting, holy crap it was bad. On that note - anyone read the Magnus book in the new Primarch series they're doing? I'm a definite Magnus fan, but it's only 200 pages or so...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Worst part is Kylo and Rey had some damn good chemistry in those scenes. Driver is actually a solid actor and Kylo, despite his flaws, is easily the most interesting of the "new generation" characters. Basically all of Rey's good scenes were the ones where he carried her, other than one or two...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Finally saw it, maybe 5/10, 6/10. It mostly wasn't painful to watch, but nearly every major plot element seemed like a swing and miss to me. So many things were set up but never followed through on, or done in one way when they could have executed it just as easily another way with far cooler...

    The Magicians

    Trailer was actually really good, looks like they're pulling a lot of the stuff from book 2. Hopefully this will swerve the show back into lane a bit after S2.

    Screw this, just gonna watch the original British one on youtube.

    You might want to adjust your timing a bit. You don't enrage her until after you get your junk out from between her teeth.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah I dunno. Maybe you could plead ignorance 20 or 30 years ago, but in this day and age I don't think there are many people who don't know that there's a serious price for that kind of money and fame. I can understand not wanting to spend the rest of her life doing spinoffs and the convention...

    Babylon 5

    Lame. Stupid actors should suck it up for the show. Although also oddly appropriate, with him hitting on her so much in the first couple episodes.

    Babylon 5

    Good stuff - literally just watched that episode yesterday. Doing rewatch #3, and picking up on a ton of buildup and foreshadowing in S1 I missed last time around. Makes me realise how much they had the story arc locked down from day 1 and wonder how even better the show could have been if they...

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    Well that didn't go to planned. After dropping to 0.25mg suboxone. I ended up waiting 2 weeks for my doctor to authorize subutex prescription, because I was told that subutex could be prescribed on a monthly basis (as opposed to going to the the chemist twice a week for suboxone). Finally the...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Haha. Those were the best gigs to hit up here if you wanted to go out, get messy and enjoy some tunes. Trance was basically done for at the time, and house/tech only had tiny, sporadic, beard stroking niche gigs. It was hard dance at the more underground places or all that terrible electro-pop...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    I honestly don't remember that at all, but I'd mostly stopped hitting up trance gigs by then (think the last was Cosmic Gate in early 08). I was balls deep in the hard dance/hardcore end of the scene by the time Saturdays came out. I just threw Couleurs on and it's not bad but also doesn't blow...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Personal taste I guess. I thought it was ok at the time, but none of the songs really stuck with me except maybe Kim & Jessie/We Own The Sky. On the flip side I've been relistening to Dawn fairly non-stop since I first heard it back in HS, and Hurry Up since it came out. Saturdays never slid...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Swear to god first thing I thought on clicking that video was "this chick sounds just like the female vocals from Before The Dawn Heals Us." Is it actually the same vocalist or did they just find a good imitation? M83 have always been one hit/one miss. Dawn was amazing, Saturdays sucked, Hurry...

    Camelot Unchained

    WAR was obviously suffering some serious issues from the beginning. They somehow managed to build a client even more clunky than the DAOC one, and it just went downhill from there. Why it was so hard to do a mashup of DAOC's PVP and WoW's PVE with a Warhammer skin, I'm never going to understand...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah I really like the idea of elves without the terrible posture/animations of BE's on Horde, but atm they just have generic NE casting animations, which are possibly even worse. If they get good casting animations I could definitely see myself swapping my mage over to nightborne.

    New troll model is beast. My plans to main a troll warlock might finally come true in BFA.

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    Have you read Robin Hobb? If you don't mind your fantasy being a little more character driven, then she's easily one of the best authors currently writing in the genre imo. Another option is China Mieville, if you want something a bit more off to the left field. It's less straight fantasy than...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I can see it happening if he holds out a bit longer - things are a bit weird right now with the transition from old distribution to streaming services, but it should settle down eventually, and doing these kinds of shows with A+ special effects is getting cheaper and cheaper in the meantime, in...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Maybe the Farscape thing is a matter of taste, I tried twice to watch it after I burned through SG/Trek/B5, but could never get further than the early second season. just didn't hit the spot for me, even though I wanted to like it. I still maintain that best consistent value for time are the...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah first season TNG was so bad it put me off the whole Trek franchise until a friend talked me into checking out DS9 (which I'm very glad he did). I still think STD is worse, but all of them had a rough start before they hit their pace. Same is true for almost all scifi shows, with the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah but there are still nukes worked in there, and overall the playstyle just feels more impactful to me. Personal preference though, I know some people really get it up for the whole DOT thing, and power to them.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd take SPriest over Affl (although in fairness, I haven't raided on either), SPriest feels a lot like the old vanilla lock, with the mashup of nukes and DOT's. Straight DOT/drain rotation gets old fast for me.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah the arti transition could be really tricky. Fire mages will be totally wrecked if they just drop all the arti buffs and abilities, frost will be fine without the arti spell but is boring as fuck to play anyway (seriously, we got one tier where something other than frost was on top, and it...

    Not to mention STD: whatever else is wrong with it, it looks fucking awesome.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Except she's also concerned with being all honorable and shit (though of course, like I said earlier, Klingon honor has always been BS) while simultaneously being a torturing back stabbing spy master. But I mainly meant just the basic plot shit - there was Klingon Mohammed, who was killed by...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I have only the vaguest idea of what's going on with the klingon side of things from one episode to the next. They've done an even worse job with them than they have with the federation side.

    Heroes of the Storm

    They're revamping the mercs to give different buffs, giving infinite ammo to towers, and a bunch of other shit like that. I only skimmed over it, but it seems like they're trying to put more emphasis on the laning phase, which I'm not massively enthusiastic about. Also Alexstraza looks like a...

    The Exorcist

    Surprised by how much I'm enjoying this season. That twist is super obvious in hindsight, but it still caught me out. Although I have to admit that I'm not as engaged by the whole overarching "demonic conspiracy" side of the story as I am by the seasonal possession plots. Stereotypes exist for...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I actually really like this idea, especially if they eventually go forward with a progression type system. It'd be awesome to be able to do the old content as it was designed and have the xmogs carry over instead of doing boring xmog runs of outlevelled raids. The only problem is that it could...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Del Toro is probably the only name I could get behind doing a Yoda movie, but I still feel he's a "less we know the better" kind of character, one who would lose out from being seen outside the "wise ancient mentor" role. Qui-Gonn movie could also be quite awesome. A chance to revisit the Old...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    How about Butcher contracts Rothfuss to ghost-write his stupid steampunk series so Butcher can get back to pumping out Dresden Files. Sounds like a win to me.
