    RIP Chester Bennington

    Can't help but think that Chris Cornell's suicide contributed to this.

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands

    Been playing through this coop with Regime on xbone and it's ended up being way more fun than either Destiny or The Division. I don't think it has an end game but that doesn't matter to me since all we usually want from a game is a fun journey to the top.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    This movie has the potential to be more fan service than Rogue One if they use no new ideas and and adhere to Rich's narrow universe theory. I hope they take their clipboards to the theater and report the results because I'm skipping this one unless I get roped into it on a family movie outing.

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    I'm ready to kick of another season of the Ubisoft formula with this and then another Far Cry installment. I liked the engine Syndicate used but the story was abysmal so hopefully they use the same engine but get some better writers. I won't hold my breath. One thing Ubisoft has always done well...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Horrible news, but I don't think there's much of a story for him to ruin this time.

    Dunkirk (2017)

    Probably going to see this in the theater. I'm not a hardcore Nolan fan but I'm usually good for at least one viewing of his movies. CLS did a run down of the historical event today if you're in need of a refresher.

    Path of Exile

    Getting ready for this to come out on console. Haven't played this in so long it took me a couple hours to pick a spec and make it through act 1. Prophecies, hideouts random dropped currency are new to me. Love that the zones are packed with rare loot but I'm guessing that's tied to the Turmoil...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    This movie is shaping up to be a trainwreck. The most interesting part of a Whedon Star Wars movie is how his foot fetish would manifest itself.

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Looks good but I'm keeping my expectations low.

    RIP Martin Landau

    I think the X-Files is probably where I remember him from the earliest. 89 years old is a good run.

    Pretty good discussion with Charles Murray about his much derided work the Bell Curve on Sam Harris's podcast. I knew the basics of the controversy and had read the bits that many used to label him a racist but it was still interesting to hear them talk about it in detail. Missed it because it...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    At around 1:15-1:20 he spends 20ish minutes talking about the writing process for Tool and how he works in his other projects.

    I'll take all the well done HH knock-offs people are willing to do. Dan is great but he's only one man with limited time. On the name, just a guess: Parts of the series attempt to demonstrate how some Islamic groups evolved into death cults that glorify martyrdom. Or how martyrs are made...

    Finished this a couple weeks ago. It starts with descriptions of the phenomenon of 19th-20th century pogroms and ends a few weeks after Israeli Independence in 1948. He made some of his fans butthurt since he supposedly spent a lot of the 2016 election shitposting pepe style but his twitter was...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The only thing I don't like about Anthem is that it's being made by Bioware. The trailer demonstrates that they've abandoned making story driven RPGs, which is the thing that made them special. Hiring Karpyshyn seems like they're trying to put some lipstick on a pig. They sacrificed Mass Effect...

    E3 2017

    Bland E3 all around compared to last year. Sony had some good games but the VR sequence in the middle was a bore.

    E3 2017

    They should've brought back Aisha Tyler. At least the awkwardness was entertaining. I'm looking forward to Far Cry 5 and AssCreed Egypt but damn was that conference stiff.

    Started listening to MarytrMade's series on the origins of the Israel-Palestine conflict after hearing it being recommended by some of the other podcasts I listen to. Like it so far. Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem

    Far Cry 5

    I got a 1980's vibe from it with no real explanation. Reminded me of the rundown rural America of my childhood.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    Did a little googling and Tim Commerford epitomizes why I ignore the personal activities of artists I like. I'm used to the regressive leftists wanting to save the world with blind optimisim, but it wouldn't surprise me if this guy came out as a flat earther.

    Far Cry 5

    Those power lines mean it's probably much later than 1880's. Could be a relatively modern setting, but the earliest it could be is the late 1930's when the Rural Electrification Act started pushing electricity to the boonies.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    Financial but it could be framed another way: "Chris was unhappy with the financial arrangement within the group - he wrote all the music, yet the other three bandmates took an equal share in the multimillion-dollar publishing rights," ROCKER WALKS - Pagesix - New York Post Online Edition...

    RIP dude. Thought it would be fun to watch one of his acoustic sets live some day. He had a great voice.

    Was playing through the last epic quest in Lord of the Rings Online when I ran along this in the battle of the black gate. Epic climax at around 1:30. The graphics may be dated but I love the music in it. Moria The Shire Full playlist:

    Twitch.tv

    From what I understand listening to Dropped Frames, ad's make up a small part of a successful streamers income. Some of them wanted to turn of ads completely because they thought it just drove people away. What twitch has over YouTube is that it makes it easier for the audience to give money...

    Twitch.tv

    Haven't listened to them in months but the Co-optional podcast crew used to occasionally talk about how youtube revenue had been declining for months/years. I can only imagine it's worse now with the youtube revenue crash that happened 2-3 weeks ago. I won't be surprised to see those who hadn't...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Ran around a bit over the weekend and it seems more active than the last time I played a couple years ago. Maybe it's just the server wide LFF and Trade channels making it seem that way but there's activity at the top end. And it looks like it's been getting releases according to the dev forum...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The thing I learned from watching his stream is that one shouldn't eat pringles on stream, especially if that person is prone to getting their hand stuck in the can.

    What class and race are you playing?

    If I have time it'd be Wizard, Enchanter or Necro. Enchanters will probably be over represented again but I love crowd control in vanilla EQ. Necromancer is the only class I haven't played so it'd be fun to do something different. We'll see, won't know until they announce the release date.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I didn't like it at the beginning, but by the end of the campaign I loved it. My only real complaint is the way they keep switching the slots of the close up and long range weapons during the campaign. Didn't really mess with the MP.
