    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Speaking of Hero...any recent movies in the vein of Crouching Tiger/House of Flying Daggers/Hero? Those types of fantasy Chinese swordfighting movies were huge around the turn of the millennium, but I haven't seen much mention of any newer takes on the style(in US cinema, at least)

    Steambox

    That's odd. I played every single Assassins Creed game on PC with an XBOX 360 controller. No issues, always auto-detected the controller and even adjusted in-game hints and tips to give them in 360-button format. Those are all Ubisoft, aren't they?

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    I might have had unrealistic expectations, I had just seen Mad Max the day before in the theater, and re-watched John Wick last week too. It doesn't hold up well when compared to those, although to be fair, few movies do. I honestly had no idea about the "tone" of the movie before I watched...

    College Football 2015-16

    Well, go ahead and pencil in Ohio St for the playoff next year, here is their schedule: Odds are they'll only play 1 ranked team the entire year, Michigan St. Pretty sure Mizzou could go 11-1 against that schedule, so Ohio St should pretty easily go undefeated.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    I thought the action in the finale in the secret cave was a pretty big let-down after the insane fight sequences with the older Kingsmen earlier in the movie (the church, and the ski lodge). Firth was really good, I think I would have preferred a movie that focused entirely on him rather than...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Time Warner just upped me from 50/5 to 200/5 for the same $75/mo. I get the notice in the mail 2 weeks after Google Fiber starts official installs in my city. Lol. Will be nice for the time being until Google gets to my house later this year.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    I agree with this. Just watched it, and if it weren't for the couple really good action sequences(church, ski lodge at the beginning) it would have been utterly forgettable. The movie was just too goofy for my liking, it strayed a little too far towards the Austin Powers/parody side of the...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

And believe me, I put quite the stress test on the thing daily, I...

    This probably isn't a very popular opinion, but damn do I love a Lienenkugel's Summer Shandy when it's hot outside in the summer time. Drank several while working in the yard this past weekend. Great hot weather beer, super refreshing.

    Here's the lowdown on Costco: The rotisserie chicken is godly. $4.99 for a HUGE chicken. My local grocery stores at $6.99 and not nearly as big. Diapers and wipes are cheaper than anywhere other than Amazon subscribe & save if you have kids. And I find it easier to drop by Costco when...

    Hey, when you have neighbors that are renters for life that do shit like: - tie into your fence with chicken wire to keep their mangy dogs in, rather than actually fencing their own yard - place an old refrigerator in their driveway and when the trash men won't pick it up, it just stays...

    Spawn (1997) - IMDb Anaconda (1997) - IMDb Only 2 movies I have ever walked out of in a theater. To be fair though, I was around 20 when those came out, and I'd go see almost ANYTHING outside of chick flicks and kid movies. I don't go to 1/10th as many movies now as I did back then, I'm...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Solid 9/10 from me. Walking out of the theater, some chick and her friend were talking behind me and she goes "I'm going to post on tumblr that this is one of my top 10 feminist movies of all time" LOL, I didnt think the feminism stuff was real. Maybe so.

    Honestly though, would you loan someone several hundred thousand dollars without doing a SHITLOAD of research & paperwork first? Sure, it could move along a little faster, but it's definitely not something that could(or should) be done quickly & without due diligence.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I try to filter these people out of my life as quickly as possible. They really just want to complain about their drama & get your sympathy, but they do it under the guise of pretending to ask for advice. They don't want advice, they already have their mind made up on yet another bad decision...

    I think it just says that since the Amazon App store isn't an officially compatible google play store app, so Amazon returns the favor and lists most Android devices that aren't amazon kindles as "incompatible".

    That was basically the formula for Hardees old Monster Burger and Monster Roast Beef sandwiches. Half pound of beef, like 10 strips of bacon, and 2-3 pieces of cheese. Goddamn those things were amazing.

    Agree with Spronk. Gaming on one screen + video on the other would benefit more from a processor upgrade, if your processor is old & outdated. This is an area where an i7 shines compared to an i5 (or an i5 is better than an i3/dual-core, etc)

    All of a sudden since the last patch 4 or 5 days ago, I can't play fullscreen anymore (970 @ 1440p), game crashes and hangs constantly. Been having to play windowed for the past week or so, and no issues doing that. Isn't a huge deal, only take a 3-4FPS performance hit. I have no idea what...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Royals starting pitching is a dumpster fire. One pitcher probably DL'd for the year, and the rest have an ERA of 5+ combined. It's a miracle we're still in first. It's not going to last much longer if this trend keeps going. It's basically taking a historically dominant performance from our...

    Fucking Omar Infante. Easily the worst player on the Royals roster. If we didn't have so many damn injuries I'm pretty sure he'd be benched by this point. There's about 6 Royals starters with legit shots at Gold Gloves this year...he is not one of them. About the only positions we don't...

    If it doesn't stop raining every weekend, my 2 year old is going to destroy our house. Not being able to go outside and play for 2 straight days = bad. It's rained here on Saturday and Sunday probably 4 of the last 5 weekends. Also sucks for trying to get yard projects done.
