    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Just got a Dot and a high-end JBL Bluetooth speaker for Xmas. Both unexpected gifts, but I couldn't be happier. I paired the Dot to the JBL and linked my Spotify account to the Dot. The Dot now pushes everything through the Bluetooth, which has some booming sound. The voice commands are spot-on...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Just saw it. Loved it. Definitely my favorite since the original 3. With that being said, it wasn't perfect. Despite that, the final 30-40 minutes make up for many of the shortcomings. Best battle scene since Hoth, by a mile.

    Westworld

    Yeah, I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would think that Logan is MiB. The guy has repeatedly shown he's just playing this like Red Dead Redemption: a big video game. Hell, they even managed to turn him into somewhat of a sympathetic character this episode after he cuts William loose...

    Westworld

    I'd imagine they'd start to explore the world outside of the park in subsequent seasons. There's been an entire storyline woven through this season regarding smuggling the Host code out of the park, and repeated references to the fact that Ford's little playworld is small beans compared to some...

    Westworld

    Speaking of the greeters (that seems to be a portentous theme)... The blonde girl that Teddy and MIB just met is the same girl who greeted William when he first entered the park. MIB recognizes her, makes a comment about how he thought she would have been decommissioned long ago, but references...

    DDoS and You

    Dyn got DDoSed. Just the tip of the iceberg for mass botnet attacks on more high-profile internet resources compared to low-level targets like PSN or whatever Lizard or Poodle Corp script kiddies feel like going after.

    Biggest video game surprise?

    NBA 2K16 - My sports game experience over the past decade has been limited to NHL and a handful of FIFA demos. 2K16 was a free download over the summer on PS4. I picked it up for the hell of it... and sweet tender baby Jesus this game is amazing. The Be A Pro mode is just fantastic. I can't...

    Bad Moms - 2/10 Holy shit, what a waste of talent. I had semi high hopes coming in for this. Guess I missed the signs, because this movie is miserable. But a lot of people in the theater clapped after about 5 different parts, so what do I know?

    Everybody Wants Some!! - 7/10 Dazed and Confused is one of my favorite movies of all-time, so I was pumped to finally catch Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! I think if I hadn't heard that it was a "spiritual sequel" to D&C I probably would have liked it more. I guess my expectations were a...

    Time Magazines' top 50 video games of all time

    Amazing game with some legitimately challenging platforming. That train level comes early and hits fuckin' hard. Also, this Top 50 list is a joke.

    Annoying shit your wife does

    I've always been a big supporter of making Personal Finance part of core school curriculum, but it wasn't until I met my wife that I truly started to understand how important money management can be for a relationship. Plain and simple, she is retarded with money. She consistently has almost $0...

    No Man's Sky

    It blows my mind that Murray is still being allowed to mouthpiece for NMS. I get that he's still technically the head of an "indie" studio, but you'd think Sony would have swooped in by now, slapped the muzzle on him and installed PR to control this spin.

    When was the last time you had sex?

    Any time you go for a body shot, you have to immediately yell out how many points you scored. "Headshot! 100 points!" "Nipple combo! 500 points!" As for me, I railed out the wifey on Friday night. She put on some crotchless lingerie and demanded I cum inside her. It was hot.

    No Man's Sky

    How are the OCD/Ultra-completionists handling this game? I feel like NMS would cause them to have a nervous breakdown followed by an aneurysm. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this. It's simultaneously relaxing and exciting. But I can completely understand why your typical Call of Duty slackjaw...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    If you're spoofing GPS, it's not about fun. It's about power. It's about knowing you have a enormous leg-up on a suddenly ravenous gaming population. You're one-upping the casual plebs who are suddenly fad obsessed. It's fucking sad. Also, this game has taken over the world. It's far and away...

    Pokemon is institutionalized slavery. How dare you think that just because Prof. Willow gave you a few Pokeballs that you've gained the right to steal these majestic creatures from their natural habitats. #PokemonLivesMatter #ReleaseYourBalls

    Bummer. Keen's is my favorite restaurant in NYC. I like to go there at 3 on a Thursday. Service makes you feel like a king and everything is cooked perfectly -- not a bad piece of meat or douchebag in sight.

    Tee Time Golf - Steam Greenlight (Shill Post)

    It's a 3 clicker. We're keeping things extremely basic with the gameplay, but there will be character and equipment upgrades that will allow you to customize to your playstyle (power, control, +spin, +curve, etc). We already have significant proof of concept on the gameplay and course builder...

    Tee Time Golf - Steam Greenlight (Shill Post)

    I've posted a few times here about some games I've helped make with indie dev Barkers Crest Studio. We made a bunch of popular Indie games for XBOX 360 (Avatar Golf,Avatar Legends,Home Run Challenge). We've taken everything we've learned from two of our games (Easy Golf and Avatar Golf) and...

    How much do you weigh?

    5' 11" 190. Weight's been creeping up slowly since my daughter was born in October, but I still play a number of sports competitively. Definitely need to find an exercise groove though. Feel myself slowing down as I approach 30. Unacceptable.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    ... wut? Nearly every serialized show on cable shows a next-week teaser after the episode. GoT runs a trailer literally right after the credits finish rolling. Do people really frantically change the channel after the episode ends for fear of seeing spoilerz (of which there are none)?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I definitely feel like there's going to a Waif, Jaqen and Arya showdown next episode. If you watch the Ep 8 teaser, there's a clear shot of the Waif running through the streets of Braavos, followed by a quick cut to the back of an individual who looks strikingly similar to Jaqen jumping off a...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Something is definitely off about the Arya storyline. If it turns out she's really been stabbed while just dicking around on a random bridge thinking wistfully of Westeros, then that's some seriously shoddy writing. In the previous episode we see her methodically grabbing Needle then camping out...
