    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    Sandbag the perimeter of the patio. Fill it with 3-4 inches of water. Fill a bucket with heavily dyed water (blue, red, green). Carefully dump the dyed water and watch where it goes.

    Guitar Hero (PS4/Xbone)

    A bunch of those tracks have already been in Guitar Hero games. Very disappointed so far.

    Being an adult sucks

    Being an adult is fucking awesome. I will gladly accept the bills, the grind, the deaths, the loss, and the heartbreak of growing old in exchange for my freedom. I cherish responsibility. When you're young, you're beholden to the terms set forth by others. Your parents. Your teachers. If you...

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

    The single worst (and suddenly best) movie I have seen in theaters is The Ring. About a decade ago I was hanging out with a big group of friends on a Friday night. We met up with another group of people who I did not know, but were acquainted with one of my friends. Somebody gets the...

    New Vacation movie

    I enjoyed Cedar Rapids as well, but look at the character he played in that movie: A naive, doe-eyed milquetoast who learns that the world is a much darker, more complicated place than he thought (even if it takes place in equally whitebread Cedar Rapids). That archetype is right in his...

    New Vacation movie

    The Vacation movies have always hinged on one single element: Clark Griswold. He's the affable, flawed, frustrated everyman who, for every action he takes that we agree with, makes an equally ill-advised move, resulting in comedy. Sweet, sweet comedy. Ed Helms is not that man. His cheery...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Typical Hollywood dumbfuckery. The guy does a shitty live-action Akira and the suits suddenly crown him the second-coming. Hand him the reigns to two of the biggest movie franchises in history. And they're dumbfounded when he turns out to be an obnoxious man-child and/or overwhelmed 30-year-old...

    Silicon Valley

    I loved everything about this episode. Each crew member trying to double-teeth-smile, Russ completely ignoring every buddy-buddy comment Erlich made, Monica's impassioned speech and Laurie's "I didn't understand anything you just said" response... brilliant from start to finish.

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    I think the best description I've heard so far is that he looks "designed by committee" Like a bunch of shit-huffing execs sat down in a room and said "Let's design the Joker!" "Ooooh, let's give him a bunch of intense tattoos! Oh! And make one of them an exact copy of how his laugh looks...

    Minnesota Thing...Liquor Ban Still In Effect.

    Nghhhhhh.... Sheetz. So fucking good. I'd give my left nut to have Sheetz here in NY. Best we can do is 7-11... and Sheetz makes 7-11 look like a backwater bodega. Sheetz introduced me to the touch-screen ordering system, which, quite frankly, every single fast food establishment should...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Kevin Pillar just made, IMHO, the greatest home run robbing catch in the history of the game. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v75609783

    Minnesota Thing...Liquor Ban Still In Effect.

    Blue laws are some of the weirdest shit in the US. Pennsylvania is especially fucking weird... they would change from county to county. Some businesses could sell booze, others couldn't. Some places could only sell booze between 9-5 Mon-Fri. Some counties were completely dry. Infuriating as a...

    Classic games you loved and why. (Nostalgia thread)

    I could list a million obvious ones (Super Mario World, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, etc.)... But I'll take this moment to throw some love at what I feel is one of the most underrated and greatest games of all time, Legend of The Mystical Ninja for SNES. It's an insane mesh of top-down action...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    This track is blowing up the foreign charts, but isn't even on the radar here in the US. Just goes to show you that Americans have no taste.

    Silicon Valley

    Definitely a missed opportunity for a fresh new take on that character. But while her tics and mannerisms are similar to Gregory's, the underlying motivation behind her choices and actions are different. Where Gregory would take huge, seemingly random risks (Sesame seeds, ostrich farms, etc.)...

    Electronic Dance Music

    Yes I know, it's David Guetta and it has 65 million views. I don't care. The track is banging, it has Ray Liotta sporting a boss beard, that 90s movie kid who started a cult in Cali, and a hot chick getting wet in her bra and panties.

    Cities: Skylines

    It just blows my mind that an established city building franchise like Sim City couldn't get this shit right for so long. Fucking EA and their meddling bullshit. People want to build cities in offline peace. This game's resounding success is a testament to that fact.

    Crusaders Quest (iOS & Android)

    I guess they share some similarities... in that they both involve characters attacking enemies... I've never played Heroes Charge though. The crux of the action revolves around "Skill Blocks" -- you build a team of three characters, each with a unique skill + a special skill. As your...

    Crusaders Quest (iOS & Android)

    Anyone else into Crusaders Quest? It's a real-time puzzle action RPG with a great team-building element. Lots of gameplay mode options, from Storyline, to Co-op to PVP. Great difficulty curve. I'm having a fantastic time building teams with great synergy. I run a few different mixes -- my #1...

    LI represent. If you grew up on Long Island, you either went to Roosevelt Field or Smith Haven. You'd get stabbed at just about any other mall. These days, Smith Haven is pretty whitewashed, but back in the day it was cool as fuck. Huge art installations from Larry Rivers, Peter Max, and most...
