    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    6.5/10 Not great but enjoyed it. Never saw the anime. Found myself really pondering during it how much reality is going to resemble this world they're portraying in another 50 years or something. Certain key elements like augmented reality and human augmentation are in their absolute infancy...

    Greatest Video Game(s) of All Time

    Civ 1 and EQ. For a game to join those two on my list it would have to be groundbreaking and eat up a cumulative ~6-12 months of my life.

    The Circle (2017)

    I found the book to be pretty bad. You spend 75% of it wading through this believable portrayal of a social media company, waiting for something interesting to happen. The concluding events I found to be unbelievable, not very interesting, and made me hate pretty much every character in the...

    Jordan never had to lobby to the media and league to have his nemesis suspended in order turn a series he was otherwise going to lose. Lebitch is not Legoat. As was already mentioned, if the guy doesn't get a couple very lucky breaks he's 1-5 in the finals to this point. The only finals...

    Spurs keep teasing with near-losses and then winning in the last minute. It sucks. I don't know how you go down 28 in the first half at home to the Kings, but to do so and then come back without Kawhi and LA... why can't they just lose? Saturday is going to go a long way towards determining...

    Stephen Adams easily. The one guy on OKC i'd love to have. Doesn't get as many easy buckets as Kanter but he's just as efficient offensively and pretty good on D. Oladipo is garbage.

    I'd have Kawhi #1, Harden #2, Lebron #3, WB #4. KD was in the top three for the first half but his efficiency slowed down a bit and then the injury =(... Kawhi though.. dude is winning games on both ends of the court, has his team only 2 games back of the Warriors even though he was the only...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Its the Star Wars equivalent of a horcrux. We find out in Ep 8 that Snoke = Palpatine = couldn't be killed because he bound himself to some bio hexacrypts! Ep 9 is Rey and her cohorts running around trying to find and destroy all the hexacrypts before killing Palpatine once and for all.

    The Astronomy Thread

    No, I believe what they said is that these type of stars (including this one) are very active when they are young and it would have been rough on the planets at that time. But if they survived that active period ok, the star is now and will basically forever be quiet.

    Thing is, the Kings are in a poor position to start a rebuild. I think the Sixers may actually be the biggest winners of the trade. They have the right to swap picks with the Kings this year, a Kings pick that suddenly has a much better shot to hit a ball for a top 3 pick. They also have the...

    If the Sixers get a top 3 and the Lakers fall out of the top 3 that should be the scariest assembly of young talent since OKC before they dealt Harden, and could potentially end up better. But then there are a couple other teams with great young talent that you could say the same thing about...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    OC's seem to overthink things too much when going up against Brady. First the Seahawks with the slant, and then this. Easy to second guess after the fact, but wow. Still cannot believe they put themselves in a position to take like a 12-yard sack there.

    11 months to go huh... wonder when we see the first trailer. Late summer? You know what would be awesome? Zero footage in the trailer. I'd love to be able to go in and have zero idea what to expect even regarding settings. They don't really need footage for a Star Wars trailer. Just play...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    I mean hell, you guys were lucky to even make the NFC title game that year. Garrison Hearst (who was an enormous part of the Niners offense that year) breaks his ankle on the first play of the divisional game, totally changed the complexion of it, and Falcons still only won by 2 at home. I...

    Lol yeah. Green was a +43 last night. If Lebron hadn't gotten in his head he might have put up a +50, good job Bron. Lebron -32. Lebron's worst ever +/- games have come against the Warriors the last two years, this one and had a -34 almost a year ago exactly.

    He's a bitch. 70% of the contact he gets he creates on his own. Was amazed they actually called an offensive foul on him tonight for pushing off. Toronto has an outside shot of taking them down, Cavs can't sleep on those guys. Especially if Toronto were to somehow manage to get the top seed.

    Good thing we know the regular season games don't mean much since the Dubs swept the Cavs in those last year. All that matters is whether the NBA can find another reason to suspend one of our players when we're up 3-1 again next June. Cavs don't win last year without NBA help, just like they...

    Passengers (2016)

    Saw it last night, pretty good movie. If you require action don't see it. Part Cast Away, part Gravity, but I found it much more entertaining than Gravity. Story is pretty linear and predictable, and one can shoot holes in some of the SCI fi / plot, but I was entertained. Great visuals, good...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Zero compelling characters in this movie. Name one scene that would be as interesting to go back and watch as Obi-wan/Qwi-gon vs. Darth Maul, Mace Windu vs. the Emperor, Yoda vs. the Emperor, etc. For the most part this movie was made up of a bunch of throw away characters with hardly any...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    5/10 - I liked The Force Awakens well enough but this movie bored me and only felt like half Star Wars. I started picking at it when the blind priest with no force ability took apart a group of storm troopers like he was a powerful Jedi, and I never really stopped picking at it after that...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Eh... 1Q18 sounds unrealistically optimistic. They're hedging on even guaranteeing pre-alpha access by 2Q17. Say pre-alpha access does start 2Q17 - you'd think it'd take at least a year to go from there to release, maybe more? I'm looking back at Vanguard (maybe a bad example since as was...

    Lol yeah. Dolores did gain consciousness. I liked the ending a lot. Much of the episode was just explanation of what had already been largely figured out, but the last bit was cool. Ford's talk to Dolores and Bernard was neat - the painting. He explained it as the divine existing inside the...

    Personally, hoping for a Spartacus episode 13 type finale. KILL THEM ALL! Robot slaves slaughter all the real people we've seen up until this point and then the last great reveal is them going out into ... wherever the park is. Ideally Ford lives as he orchestrates it in some way. I don't...

    I was going to pick at this point also, because it wasn't making any sense that Bernard was the one who grabbed Elsie for finding this relay that Theresa and "Arnold" had been using when Bernard was with Theresa at the time. However, looking back, she talks to Bernard on the phone and then...

    It's not just implied, he straight up tells Delores on the train that his fiancée's father owns the company he works at. I see two paths this can take - the one you note is the more likely path. Maybe Logan gets killed in the park or something, and William and his wife become the heir's to the...
