    Fresh Off the Boat

    Pretty funny. Accents are a little over the top though. Never met a Chinese American person that sounds that stereotypically Chinese American. Even recent immigrants aren't that bad. I personally like the grandma.

    Wii U

    There are a couple mini-games in Nintendoland that use it. Not sure what else yet.

    Wii U

    First time I've done any console gaming in roughly 6 years and I forgot how expensive buying games can be. So used to getting stuff for dirt cheap on Steam. I think I typically pay full price for a title once or twice a year. Do people still rent quite a bit or just buy everything? And other...

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    When does this go wide release in the US?

    Wii U

    Was torn between the Pro controller and Wii remote+ and nunchuck, but went with the latter simply for Galaxy 2 which I've been meaning to play for a while. It seems like if you want to play older Wii games the motion controller is necessary, and I noticed quite a few Wii U games support it as...

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    Is it just me or is this show kind of boring? I watched the first episodes and was struggling to stay interested.

    Wii U

    Probably going to pick up another controller as all I have is the gamepad. I'm thinking the nunchuck plus is more versatile than the pro controller for playing new as well as old games?

    Need Input from Console Gamers

    PC + Wii U for me. I hook my laptop up to the TV and Steam big screen works pretty well. Started to lean away from gaming at a desk only because I already sit at one 8 hours a day for work. Between Xbone and PS4, I'd personally go with the latter. More exclusives, more players.

    Wii U

    Just picked up the SMB 3D World bundle this weekend. Haven't had a chance to play, but I noticed the sensor bar was in there. I'm guessing that's to be used with the older wiimote only? Also, do any new Wii U games utilize the motion sensor function at all?

    Is it possible to find without the gamepad?

    Wii U

    Thinking about buying this tomorrow. Should I does it? Only thing I'm hesitant about is the controller, and that it might not be fun playing solo. I have 0 use for the second screen thing so that aspect is a waste.

    Wii U

    So how is the actual function of the Wii U controller? Do most games utilize it in some capacity? I don't really care for being able to play on it alone as I live by myself, but I would hope it's not just a blank screen all the time that never gets used. Also, is it still pretty fun if I'm...

    Laptop Computers

    Any major differences between Asus and Acer when it comes to monitors? I'm trying to pick one up for my laptop, which is Asus, but Asus is always a bit more expensive. Would I get noticeably better (visual) quality and compatibility with Asus?

    Foreign Languages

    No, I'm not DoD. They don't let regular civilians in, so you'd have to enlist in the Air Force reserve or something first. It seems a bit ridiculous that you can't choose what language you are interested in learning though. Apparently you have to take a made up test that determines what...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I picked up the Far Cry Franchise, mostly for FC 3 and expansion. I played the first a long time ago, and never played the 2nd, but heard it was long and repetitive. Is it still worth playing through, or should I just skip to FC 3?

    Also, I haven't played any AC games before. Would I be missing much jumping in with Black Flag?

    Ascension

    This ain't being released on Hulu? Is it just a mini-series, or potentially a full show depending on the ratings?

    Ascension

    Looks pretty decent. Crossing my fingers for anything remotely resembling BSG quality. I'll give any non-campy sci-fi a chance, and will second the Tricia Helfer comment too.

    Same. WiiU is looking more and more enticing though with some of these titles.

    Ok, so I'm thinking Fate/Zero first, skip FSN, and then straight to UBW.

    Ended up getting the Sony 40'' from Best Buy for $300. So far so good. It's about the right size for an apartment.

    Need a TV for a 700sq ft apartment living room. Thinking 40'' should be big enough, right? Quite a few deals out there now for this size.

    Interstellar (2014)

    Gravitywasa bit more immersive, but only because that's all it was trying to be. It was 90% action, 10% story. Interstellar probably 30% action, 70% story. Gravity was more like a space roller coaster that drops you straight into chaos, and Interstellar one of those slow moving attractions that...

    Interstellar (2014)

    I think that with Nolan movies people tend to rate them mostly in comparison to other Nolan movies, and not on a normal scale. I mean, in comparison to other films I have seen this year (or the past several years), this was pretty amazing. Of course if you are always comparing everything to The...

    Yeah, wrestling training seems like it would be pretty tough, especially when you add in the physical aspect of it. Same with boxing. Always wanted to try both, but never got into it. Did you have to pay attention to your weight a lot etchazz? As far as cardio and overall fitness is...

    It rolled dex because it was on my monk so I'd have to. The other stats are vit and something else. I have to check again. Dmg is ok.

    Going to Movies Solo

    As I mentioned, itwasa bit awkward when I was younger because it can be seen as going against a social norm. Though I don't really think much of it now, and actually prefer going by myself a lot times for reasons already stated. Just curious to see who else feels the same. Going to the library...

    Going to Movies Solo

    It's ingrained in us that going to the movies is a social event, despite actually being pretty antisocial. Since childhood, you went to movies with friends or family, so I think many people just see that as the way it's gone about. I think it becomes less a thing the older you get, but going...

    The Legend of Korra

    So you've only seen Ninja Scroll, but you say the story is way better than anime from Japan? Ok... Ninja Scroll the movie is decent, but it's 2 decades old. The series is average at best. I'm looking for comparisons to Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, Moribito, Twelve Kingdoms, etc. in...

    The Legend of Korra

    Hmm, I might check it out at some point. I just never imagined an anime on Nickelodeon could be edgy enough for my tastes.
