    Underrated bands of the 90’s

    Clash was a great festival, didn't recall AiC being there when I went but it's possible, memory is foggy for a lot of the shows I went to. Did a ton of concerts in the 90's. One of the best times for live music ever. I was a metal head (still am I suppose), but bands like AiC had enough of an...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I like Nick Foles (Arizona Wildcats!), but any time Chicago loses is fine by me. Raider fans: "Fuck Khalil Mack!" - so say we all.

    Underrated bands of the 90’s

    Saw AiC just after their first album came out. Baccanal was the name of the club, in San Diego, held about 500 people max. Opening act was a band calling themselves Mookie Blaylock (after the basketball player). Never heard of them. The crowd hadn't showed up yet. So it was just about 30 or 40...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Couldn't get into FFXIV. Spent a lot of money trying over the years, but it just never clicked for me. Ended up paying for a game I never logged into. Have a few mmos that i tend to go back to every now and then. Pulled FFXIV off the list. WoW isn't my favorite mmo, but as a filthy casual I can...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Why not do both? Or everything. It is possible to play these games and not make it a full time job. The problems only start when you try to keep up with the poop sockers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Sorry if I missed it. Is multi-boxing banned or just input broadcasting software? What if you just alt-tab with a couple of accounts? I don't multi-box in WoW but did in EQ for a while. But just did the alt tab thing with 2 or 3 accounts. Fairly inefficient and far from pro level. But it was...

    Guild Wars 2

    It was designed to be an mmo that casual players can still compete in. It does have grinds, lots of them, but they are for cosmetic items for the most part. There are no gear resets. Best gear now is the best gear that existed years ago. And it's an easy game to come back to for people who...

    Post your ballot here to prove you ain't a cuck

    I filled my mail in ballot from Gov Newsom with Republican boxes and then mailed it into the Dimwit blue sea that is California. That was over a week ago, didn't think to take a pic. Never missed a vote out here. But it's just an exercise in defiance.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Stopped watching the Chargers game yesterday when I thought they had it in hand. Don't know what I was thinking, I live in San Diego, have watched them lose games like this for years.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Pats also get the "Superbowl Discount". Proven vets were willing to take a cut in pay just to have a chance at the ring. Even Brady did that. Now that Brady is gone and Bill doesn't look so hot, I suspect that discount isn't going to be much of a factor anymore. The Pats will have to draft...

    Lack of a preseason hurt a lot of players. 49's definitely got the worst of it though.

    The Fifth Element (1997)

    When this movie came out I thought it was entertaining but a bit hokey. Seen this a few times over the years now and have come to appreciate it more each time. Very rewatchable and definitely has the feel of a classic.

    Haven't done the band thing in quite a while. Was in a few that were pretty good, but they didn't last for all kinds of reasons. Jammed here and there since then for fun, but nothing serious. Getting a group of people together who are good at their instruments, not total losers and can somehow...

    Terminator (2019)

    On Amazon atm, my go to streaming service. Yeah, this movie is not good. It's better than most B action flicks and Arnie is still cool. But the diversity check boxes were all filled in and they had to do the immigrant story line. So many eyeroll moments. Trying to reboot the series by killing...

    Get an electronic tuner of some sort. It takes a while to get an ear for it. The clip on things work pretty well.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, it's not a dramatic change. You pretty much have to turn it off and on while looking at different areas to see it. Which just shows how good they have become at faking realistic shadows over the years. Hoping that Shadowlands will have better results because the artists might have...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Old Trek was about hope for the future. The Federation a shining light. New Trek is about killing all hope. The Federation is shit.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Could be. I think teams will replicate Belichick's stategy from now on. It worked well for the Raiders, and Mahomes is getting himself in trouble drifting out of the pocket. Fixable though. Would love to believe that the Raiders are the new kings, but in spite of their outing last week the...

    Sold a 72 Custom a few years back for a huge profit. Bought it in the 90's for $800. Loved the guitar but they were experimenting with woods back then. Damn thing weighed a ton and would wear me out on stage. Great tone though and had sustain that lasted forever. Kind of wish I kept it for...

    Counterpart

    Yeah, that's when it starts to slow down. Took me a few months of occasional viewing to get though that portion. But the towards the middle of season 2 it starts to pick up. They start to explain what's goin on, etc. Worth the view imo.

    Counterpart

    This is on Amazon btw. Middle episodes drag on a bit so I didn't binge it. But the last few episodes of season 2 really tie things up well. Pretty good show, not your usual shoot em up affair. Definitely unique. And the flu epidemic on one side is prophetic.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Probably. It's also pretty obvious now why Chris never managed to finish a game at Digital Anvil. He just spends money and is incapable of managing time or feature creep. I have serious doubts that this will ever launch in any sort of polished / playable state as long as he is at the helm...

    The Boys

    I whole heartedly agree that most of the woke garbage coming out right now is over the top and unwatchable. I see very few new shows because of that exact reason. They are propagandist trash. But The Boys isn't in that category and is in fact very good. It isn't SJW garbage at all. Claiming...

    The Boys

    50 years from now, nobody will give a fuck about today's issues. Nobody cares about the 60's and they were a lot more intense than today's BLM stupidity. They won't care about Covid unless there is another pandemic happening. Most people didn't even know about the Spanish Flu unitl Covid hit...

    The Boys

    The show stands on it's own and does not need a knowledge of Trump or any other current event to enjoy. The nazi stuff works because Stromfront isn't a contemporary human. She is over a hundred years old and is an ACTUAL Nazi. Even Homelander doesn't really buy into her BS, as despicable as he...

    The Boys

    There is nothing subtle about a half black / half white alien and his opposite. Subtlety is not required. Discovery sucks, not because of it's woke narratives, but because the writing is some of the most atrocious ever put on the screen. The Boys is great in spite of the woke stuff, so was...

    The Boys

    One of the most heavy handed woke tv shows of all time is the original Star Trek. One of it's most woke episodes is where one alien is half black on the right side and half white on the left side, while his mortal enemy is the exact opposite. But the original Star Trek and that episode are...

    Only because it didn't trigger the woke sensitive spots for people here. I get it. Surprised I am agreeing with Khane but he's right. You all are too sensitive. Stop being cunts.

    Fuck it. I hate woke crap more than anyone. But this is the best TV out atm and loved the last episode. Sometimes you just have to let it go and enjoy the ride. And this has been a fucking great ride. Hope they can keep it up, going to be hard though. .. Really glad this show gets great...

    They introduce new dyes all of the time. What is extremely expensive now will be cheap at a later date and / or will show up in the birthday presents. Good time to buy expensive dyes is when they have a dye pack on sale. For a few weeks the price will drop by huge amounts, sometimes never going...
