    Cocktails

    Gimlets are fantastic, but my recipe is if you have money to burn (chartreuse, so expensive). Apparently, neither cocktail will make the movie Battleship tolerable.

    Cocktails

    2 oz gin 1/2 green chartreuse 1/2 lime juice Shake the fuck out of it. If your hands are not numb, then you're doing it wrong. Results in a mildly herbaceous, citrusy cocktail. Best fits a standard, martini glass. Keep the ratio, and adjust the amounts, for larger serving vessels.

    Dawn of War III

    Sega's PC game list:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_PC I see a lot of crap with some mediocrity sprinkled in. I never played Total War, hopefully it's a good marriage.

    Fuck Comcast

    By "last I knew" I meant a friend 2-3 years ago living in Lowertown area of St. Paul in an apartment complex did not have a great experience. Perpetually disconnected during raids/primetime and slow download speeds. I came over with my laptop and it was a miserable contrast to my broadband. I...

    Fuck Comcast

    Last I knew, Quest/Century Link's service in Minnesota was cheap, but highly unreliable during prime time. Have things changed?

    Spartacus

    Every time I think I'm done with this show they air a decent episode. I appreciate the depiction of the slave army as not being entirely noble during the sacking of the city; although, the spontaneous slaughtering of a grain store merchant seemed a bit out of place/convenient.

    Girls Season 2

    The third episode was an abortion. The only ray of light was some of the dialogue in the pharmacy. I'm quickly hoping this show turns from an awkward, offbeat comedy to a tragedy. Hanna having her skin flayed off during her attempt to explore BDSM on Craigslist would be highly amusing.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I vaguely remember running around beta going "rawr, I'm a dragon", getting repeatedly desync'd/disconnected, and never logging in again.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I signed up for beta in that it's free and I have nothing else to play currently. If it's better than Horizons, I will be mildly content. Had this game released before Guild Wars 2, their WvW might be fresh and interesting. Hopefully their profiting from seeing the critiques from GW 2's...

    Archer

    I should probably clarify that I love this show, and I don't watch it with the same ambivalence as I do The Walking Dead. That said, the premier was okay. The Bob's Burgers opening was surprising, but I found myself waiting for it to become interesting, which never really happened. It came...

    Archer

    Unfortunately, that was the best part of the episode. At least the show seems to finish each episode relatively strong, but this season has been rather weak so far. I hope they haven't run out of material or ideas.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    "Excellent" for including a brief description and clicking on their boxes allowing them to send you spam mail and NDA.

    Girls Season 2

    The argument between Hanna and Sandy felt contrived, heavy-handed, and boring. Unfortunately, this is probably not the last time it's seen this season.

    DOTA 2

    They best part of learning to play with bots is, due to their questionable scripting, their griefing will prepare you for pub matches.

    Guild Wars 2

    This might turn it around for GW2, if these issues had been addressed months ago. I left the game after the Halloween event, and I'm more inclined to wait for something else than return to the game after a significant break. It seems that being F2P does little to ameliorate this effect.

    Bionic Commando. So many falls to my death.

    Planetside 2

    That does seem like a relatively well thought out, painfully obvious, and easily applicable critique to most modern FPSs/PVP games.

    The Walking Dead

    Carl would be a more interesting character if that was literal, not figurative. The child actor playing Carl seems to have a range of a potato and most of his moments seem artificial or insipid.

    Planetside 2

    I still play this game sporadically, but it still feels more like an open beta, for a rather dated game, than a release product. I find that casually playing alleviates some of the annoyances with a lack of a meta game. I log in, kill a few people, drop-in somewhere, run out of ammo/die, and...

    Not bad for someone so old.
