    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Ok now that the honeymoon period is over, there are a few things about the game that bug me. First off, the game is still really good, definitely worth the purchase price., so not trying to downplay that, but it's never going to reach TLOU status for me and now I'm putting it in league with...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    This game is awesome so far. I made the mistake of playing it with the wife next to me, she's so taken in with the story that I decided to cut my session short when she went to bed so she wouldn't miss any cut scenes =( Damnn youuuu!!!!! Gameplay mechanics are spot-on and solid. The skill...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Pre-ordered the game thanks to your positive reviews. Love Dark Souls, so this should be right up my alley. Hopefully cure my current Let It Die addiction.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Saw this last night and loved it for what it is.....and entertaining and enjoyable theater experience. I wasn't expecting super nuanced performances like in Manchester by the Sea. All the easter eggs and nods to old Star Wars for the fans were great. I also liked how this movie clearly was...

    Westworld

    I honestly think few people would have figured out the dual-time loop, MiB = William theory without the internet. At least not as early as most did. But most of us, provided the evidence, could elucidate the reveal. The real shocker are those who, provided the evidence, are still too obtuse...

    Westworld

    Hmm.....maybe you've never had your heart broken. To each their own I guess. I totally understood his feelings. I remember in high school I was totally infatuated with this girl, felt like she was into me, turns out I was "friend-zoned", she ended up dating someone who I couldn't even fathom...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I'm playing on PS4 Pro and the game looks really good. Some parts better than others of course, but overall one of the prettiest games I've played. I haven't played Tomb Raider yet so I can't compare to that, but it's better than Witcher 3, which was pretty good in it's own right. Helpful...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Does anyone know if there is a cap on AP? Like eventually can you unlock every single skill tree in their entirety?

    9/11 just became 11/9

    You're amazing. You are like one of those hosts in Westworld, apparently you have been programmed not to be able to see the color blue, or any failings on the part of Democrats. The only thing your chart shows is government has been expanding pretty steadily over the past decades, regardless...

    9/11 just became 11/9

    You're kidding right? Are you just going to ignore Obamacare or the tens of millions of additional people using foodstamps?

    Westworld

    Agreed, weakest episode of the season. A lot of people already mentioned the nonsense of asian guy/fat guy kowtowing to Maeve, when there is no reason for them to whatsoever as she has no true leverage. Also, no one seems to mind that Felix is giving Maeve a tour of the facility? No one...

    Westworld

    I'm still a fan of the dual time-ilne, MiB = William theory, even though there are holes in it. It just seems like it's set up to be the big reveal. First you have William, the man-in-white do-gooder whose afraid to let loose his inner id, which is the direct contrast to the MiB.....so it's...

    Skyrim

    Currently I'm only level 13, playing as a caster, but I'll give you my experiences so far: Having never played a caster before, I'm not sure what the best route to go is, but currently I'm going heavy into destruction tree (the elemental damage one). It's fairly weak to be honest, but it's...

    Skyrim

    I went ahead and got it for the PS4 since I never played any of the DLC before. Mods aren't that a big deal for me, I never bother modding any of the other Bethesda games I've played (Fallout, ES, etc) because by the time I've finished it I've moved on to the next game. Same reason I never...

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    Why lie? Why not just rely on your credentials? Basically when you look at any top school, if you see white or asian males in the classroom you know they are the alphas, because think about how fucking hard it is to get in due to reverse discrimination. Blacks, hispanics? Awesome, especially...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    At least you didn't make the mistake I did in buying a 3DO. For those that don't remember, it was Trip Hawkins' uber project, suppose to blow every other system out of the water. It was the first system with a CD-drive, but there was almost zero software support for it. Plus it was way...

    How to Breach an Employment Contract and Get Away With It?

    I guess the bottom line is whether or not you are worried about a hit to your credit score. If you plan on making any big purchases in the near future like buying a new house or car, then a 50-100 hit on your credit score may be meaningful. On the other hand, if you don't care about your...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    I would agree with OP. I put in hundreds of hours into the original Starcraft and it's expansions. The game and balance was perfection. Starcraft 2 was "ok", and I know it had big shoes to fill, but it didn't catch on with me like the original. The storyline was fine with me, but what it...

    100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Rolling Stone Magazine)

    Definitely a more modern bias. Tonight Show with Johnny Carson should rank ahead of just about every other talk show ever. Shows like I Love Lucy and Brady Bunch had huge cultural significance. That being said, their top 10 are all solid shows, I would say the exception being The Daily Show...

    The Night Of

    They only have two more episodes to wrap this up. Definitely a show more about the procedural aspects of being convicted than and actual murder mystery. I mean, the series is 75% of the way completed before they start even bringing in other real suspects. The way they present it there is no...

    Well, you have a good handle on the crux of the situation, which is would you be better off investing all of your money in your home, or would you be better off saving some of the money and putting it in a different investment vehicle, like stocks? Which will return the greater dividend? I...

    Home buying thread

    All the homes I own are what I would consider suburban. I would avoid buying homes in run-down areas. Sure it's enticing when you can buy a home in Detroit for like $10,000, but remember home costs include maintenance, repairs, taxes, etc...so it's a sinkhole unless you can make money off of...

    Retirement bullshit

    What's it at now though? Or did you sell? I remember when the market crashed in 2008 I lost about 70% of the value of my portfolio. Grim times. But I never sold a single share and today those same shares are worth more than they were in 2008.....so in other words I didn't lose a dime because...

    Home buying thread

    I bought a home back in 2005, then another in 2013. I converted the 2005 into a rental. Like you, I envision retiring someday and using the rental income as a passive income stream. I live in the US, so below may not apply to you, but... PROS: Rental income is used to pay off mortgage on...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    The new album is great, if you remember or liked old Garbage, then be sure to pick it up because it sounds like the old stuff. Can't wait for the show in Los Angeles....they are playing at Hollywood Forever, which is like a cemetery for celebs.
