    Perry Mason

    Only saw the trailer for this before canceling HBO a couple of months back. Looks like something I would enjoy though. Comments here are encouraging. I'll check this out for sure when the next season of Westworld is up.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Unfortunately, Star Wars and other Hollywood blockbusters are best enjoyed on the big screen where all of the special effects wonders can help you forget how garbage the story is. Worked for me on Episode 8, 3D big screen was cool to watch. On the small screen 8 is impossible to enjoy. And imo...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Watched a bunch of the films in order recently. Decent entertainment value if you watch them like a series. They don't take themselves too seriously, that helps. But I just finished Ragnarok and although that one was ok, I'm kind of over the Marvel / Disney thing for now. Their formula works...

    Waterworld (1995)

    The critics don't like sci-fi and end of the world stuff. Especially back then. Remember they all panned Blade Runner too. This movie isn't on the level of Blade Runner, but I enjoyed it. The lack of computer graphics is refreshing. It's expensive to film in water, so you probably won't see...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Billions of galaxies in a universe 13 billion years old. My guess is that we might be the only tech civ in this galaxy at this moment. But even if only 1 in 100 galaxies has a tech civ, there could still be millions of tech civs around but just too far away to detect. Still too many unknowns...

    Orange men bad... players.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I just don't believe Kap is being honest about wanting to play. He gets too much mileage from blaming the owners. And Kap was the one who sabotaged the last tryout. Besides, it is very doubtful he is in anything resembling game shape. Been out too long. And he's a mediocre passer, defenses...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Ok, finally got around to watching this. Watched the first two (7,8) again to get caught up. 7 is still fun. Seen it a couple of times already and liked it the 3rd go around. 8 was fucking hard to watch a second time. Had to keep fast forwarding. I remember being entertained the first time but...

    Do you know first hand anyone who has been proven to test positive for Covid-19?

    My niece had it. I brought this up a few weeks back. She lives about 30 minutes from me in San Diego county. Spent 10 days in the hospital and still is feeling a bit tired. Think she's 27, healthy otherwise. She was on a plane over the Atlantic when it was diverted to Heathrow because Spain shut...

    Watchmen

    Late to the party.. Saw the first couple episodes over Christmas while visiting family. Wasn't impressed. The hyper woke white supremacist stuff was a bit of a turn off. Pass But picked up HBO recently for Westworld and decided to give this another go over the weekend. And it gets pretty good...

    Thanks for proving my point.

    Dune (2020)

    Your Dick Cheney love is what my post was about. You actually believe he is the Darth Vader character the left has turned him into.

    Dune (2020)

    I always love it when the left turns people they disagree with into 1 dimensional cartoon characters. You think you are being funny and so smart while repeating your lie so much you even believe it. So when the person you belittled beats you at every move because you thought they were a cartoon...

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I bought one of those expensive DXRacers a few years back. I don't recommend it. It's useful but way too expensive and not much better than the $60 dollar chair it replaced. Would have left it at the dumpster by now if it wasn't so f'ing heavy.

    Fallout 76

    My main issues with the game are lack of ultrawide (3 monitor) support and not being able to remap some of the keybinds. Not what most people care about, I know. But there are so many good games out that do allow me those options that I generally skip games that make me jump through hoops. I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You would get a ton of casual dorks (raises hand) to play WoW if they introduced a proper Necro class.

    I want to believe. But too many Frizbee pics floating around.

    New World

    I agree with this pretty much, but the counter argument is Black Desert. It makes boatloads of money and is a PvP mmo. Although, if you want to avoid PvP in BDO it's usually pretty easy and they have a ton of mindless pve things to do.

    Guild Wars 2

    What Dom said for the most part and for most players. If you play pvp or wvw that little edge in stats can sometimes help against good players. But it takes a long time to get to that kind of skill and for most of the game content it just isn't necessary. I haven't really raided or done high...

    Guild Wars 2

    The expansions do up your game a bit. GW2 really isn't a gear game. Lvl 80 exotic gear from the auction house is very close to max stats. Ascended is better but not by much. You make trade offs with gear types. Soldier (toughness / vitality) is tanky, less dps. Berserker is dps and a bit...

    The Prepper Thread

    I'm from fly over country so have places to stay, and it's already been offered. But I turned them down. If things get that bad then there is a good chance I would be bringing Covid with me. Not going to do that to my friends and family. Besides, San Diego has some of the best doctors and...

    The Prepper Thread

    Yep. And if you leave the cities after the zombie apocalypse hits hard then you will be running into the barrel of a gun. All of that fly over country is well armed and they would love for an excuse to give it back to the people who have been laughing at them all of these years.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Is this going to have all of the minigames? I hate to admit how much time I spent on that snowboard minigame.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Game sounds promising. Still going to wait for this to release and be out a while before buying. Like many, FFVII was a great experience for me. It was my first FF game and it came out during a key point in my life. But my hopium well has run dry from all of the other recent gaming failures...

    Altered Carbon

    What's the verdict? I liked the first season well enough, it was better than most of the drek on Netflix. Would resub for a month just for this if it didn't drop in quality.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not much of anything gaming wise seems exciting anymore. TV / Movies the same. There is a glut of entertainment options these days. Most of it made very well but kind of boring because it's just new paint on an old model. Sequelitus ad nauseam.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, just not seeing this happening. I know a lot of the media are hyping the Carr replacement scenarios, someone even said we would go after Winston. Really? But if Antonio Brown hadn't bailed on the Raiders then we easily would have won one more game (probably more) and would have made the...

    Black Desert

    It's a very tough game to get a handle on. I came back to the game a couple of months ago (played at launch) and still don't understand most of the systems. But that kind of works for me, I like figuring things out. Joined a guild that doesn't have any requirements and just putz around doing...

    Camelot Unchained

    Interesting read. So it sounds like they are using some of the investor money from Colossus for CU. Hopefully it all works out. I'll play Colossus (get it free anyway) but really only care about CU. Question for those who understand the server tech. Mark mentioned moving from Windows based...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    At first I hated AB because of what he did to the Raiders. We easily would have made the playoffs if he had been on the roster. But honestly, I feel sorry for him now. Something is wrong with AB, he needs help. Watching this kind of talent destroy themselves is just sad.

    Morbius (2020)

    Bladerunner was good, Jared Leto wasn't. He's still bad at the acting craft. But other crappy, self absorbed, pretentious actors have gotten better with age. He might too.

    Magic: Legends

    Probably room for one or two more. But competition for this is coming soon with Lost Ark, Torchlite mmos. And those probably have a better chance of succeeding.
