    Arrival (2016)

    7/10 Maybe I went in expecting too much with all the good reviews. The human story was good, but it really was slow and the sci fi fell somewhat flat. I didn't read any specific spoilers prior, but did get from brief reviews that there was some big twist at the end. From that you could...

    Westworld

    This is the way I'm leaning as well. Arnold was Ford's first robot he created all by himself. It was sort of his companion and best friend, and in being so it learned how much Ford missed his past family life, so created the family replica for him. They created all the robots together. But...

    Westworld

    I'm about 100% convinced that William is the MiB at this point, after thinking last week there was no chance. They intentionally tried to confuse the issue, but I'm ok with that. There are just too many reasons now for it to not be him. -We know William is in the past because his friend...

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    They also added a number of other guys that can contribute. Zaza and McGee were better center talent than they could have hoped to get with absolutely no money to spend. I'll miss Speights and his care-free playstyle (and the 3-pt shot he had added), but David West is a better player. Patrick...

    Virtual Reality

    The trend is that its now being broken down into 3 categories- AR - Information that supplements the real world but doesn't appear to be part of it (ie Google Glass), or information added to displays which show the real world (Pokémon Go). In both cases you still see the real world around you...

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    He's a hothead, but the NBA didn't have to suspend him in that situation and arguably shouldn't have. The league made their choice, KD made his. Those choices will lead to the Warriors burning down the league this season, going to enjoy every minute of it. Insane that the Dubs added KD and...

    Westworld

    I didn't even realize HBO was making a Foundation series... mind blown. I was literally thinking the other day about how this Westworld show thus far has been one of the better screen adaptations of Crichton's work (nevermind that this is a screen to screen adaptation), and that it's too bad...

    Westworld

    Naw. But MiB gonna be so pissed when he makes it to the center of the maze and all he gets for his efforts is a cloth cap. What WAS the player piano song this time? You can tell it's some kind of modern pop / rock - I tried replaying it like 10 times and I barely recognize it but cannot place it.

    Upgrade! Ford threatening with his god powers was awesome.

    Civilization VI

    No argument, but then why does Ghengis Khan get to be in Civ? Responsible for 40 million deaths at a time when the world had a lot less people, where does he rank on that "worst humans ever" list? He just has the benefit of time, Hitler is too close.

    Westworld

    Not to mention the photo of Ford and Arnold clearly shows a younger Hopkins while Arnold doesn't look anything like Ed Harris. Unless Arnold uploaded his full consciousness into a host before the "accident"... But then that wouldn't make sense for Arnold to be doing his own FA quest, assuming...

    Westworld

    Lol was thinking this after ep. 2 also. Ed Harris is just a future MMO addict who has done all the gay WoW "!" quests a million times and is now delving into the unsolved mysteries of Norrath. He prefers his MMO's to be sandboxes. A hero, not a villain! *SPOILER ALERT* Radiohead on the...

    MLB 2016

    Eh, I feel like we're playing with house money now having a few under the belt and considering how badly they played mid summer to nearly miss the playoffs altogether. The Cubs on the other hand.... no pressure, just a 108 year-old monkey to get off their back and the expectations that come...

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

    Just read the Gizmodo article cause I was curious how somebody could recommend PSVR as THE VR system to invest in right now. Article was shit. Admits pretty much everything on PSVR is worse than Rift and Vive including the tracking and display. So what was his sale point? "Despite the fact...

    Mr. Robot

    Been loving every bit of this season. The questions scene with the little girl in the Dark Room was a little out there but I give it a pass for it being centered around a C64. Great start to Rami Malek's acceptance speech last night:

    Civilization VI

    Eh, I pre-ordered 4 and never regretted it. Even if things are buggy / not fleshed, it can be fun to F around before all the mechanics are balanced. I wasn't going to pre-order VI because I'm not a big fan of V, just saying the collector's edition makes it a little more tempting as a fan of...

    Civilization VI

    I'm pessimistic about Civ VI itself, but that makes it a little more tempting to pre-order... damn. Must resist.
