    Breaking Bad

    I keep a 5 gallon thing of gasoline, but not in my car. I keep it in my shed to fuel the lawn mower & such. I also keep a few gallons of Kerosene for my forced air heater out there as well.

    Las Vegas

    Make sure you take some time to hit up the huge Buffet at the Wynn. It's arguably the best buffet I've ever seen, but it better be for like 30-40 per person.

    Smith lives in Affleck's old house, too. Just to give you another piece of the Smith/Affleck connection.

    Very informative post. You have a hell of a memory when it comes to gaming consoles, or did a lot of research for the sake of that post. Have some internets for your hard work.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    That's the thought a LOT of people had about RDJ & Iron Man before actually seeing a trailer or the movie itself. He was looked at as a goofball. What the fuck was Marvel thinking? Now the entire Marvel movie universe (avengers related) is based on his blockbuster of a film.

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Monks had a quest glove item that was either very late Vanilla, or the beginning of Kunark. When it was first introduced, it had an instant-click Complete Heal spell. The issue is that it wasn't charged. You had unlimited instant click CH. 2-3 monks on my server completed the quest by...

    What do you bring with you on a trip?

    Toothbruth, Tooth Paste, Floss, Deodorant and Q-Tips. I fucking hate any sort of waxy feel in my ears, so I clean them 2-3 times a day.

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Cracked staff was only about a gold. Back then, 1 plat was a LOT. And rusted weapons only sold for like 60 silver. It wasn't until you hit the Dervish Cutthroats in North Ro who dropped Bronze weapons that the value went up to a plat. I remember at level 3 FINALLY raising enough money...

    Breaking Bad

    The way I looked at the beginning of this season is that suddenly EVERYONE knows that Walt = Heisenberg. The kids skate boarding in his pool are just to feel tough for hanging out in a drug king pin's yard. So chances are there was a huge DEA raid on his house and Walt wasn't there or somehow...

    I'd like to suggest an interesting movie for you. Arlington Road. Has to do with inner-country Terrorism. Great movie, and has to do with your post.

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    I would love to see Spider Man's Maximum Carnage collection made. It'll never happen though. WAY too many characters to introduce and give backstories on. The books were awesome though. Another neat one would be Batman: Hush. Yeah, the biggest draw to this series was Jim Lee's artwork...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Any chance one of you could post a copy of the page where the 3rd loses his head? I don't remember exactly how it went down, and Mangastream doesn't go back that far.

    Atlanta

    We finished off our week-long trip today by heading to Fernbank Natural History Museum. Our daughter had a lot of fun there, so we stayed for 3-4 hours to keep her entertained. After that, we went to Kevin Rathbun Steak for dinner. It was incredible. No wonder it was voted #5 in the...

    Back in Vanilla EQ, there was EQLizer. It was kind of like the MMO-Champion of yesteryear. They would post new items that were recently found, but a lot of the posters would not report WHERE they discovered the item. It was all a big mystery. It kept them being able to farm an item...

    Also, the players HAD to be able to play to some degree, or they would quit. The worst players in EQ are still better than a huge portion of WoW's player base. I remember when WoW first started. You could see as easy as night and day, who came from EQ and who just started because it was a new...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Japan has a strong sense of Family, despite the incredible drive to work hard. These holidays are almost always so that familys can spend time together. They halt almost everything so that families can be together. It's kind of nice, when you think about it. So many Americans have a shitty...

    Atlanta

    Yeah, I understand. Most cities aren't "walking". There's entirely too much land to cover with good things spread out. Fortunately, the majority of the attractions found in the Atlanta City Pass are very close together. We took a cab over to the Zoo today, and my daughter appeared to enjoy...

    So far I'm enjoying this trip. We're 3 days in and we've walked a little over 10 miles so far. 6.15 miles yesterday alone. We're staying at the Hilton (connected to the Marriott). I wish we were at the Marriott, though. That place is awesome. It has the feel and layout of a Vegas...

    The Killing Season 3

    Did any of you try another failed AMC show called Rubicon? It was this NSA/CIA type of code breaking show. Really awesome. Full of government conspiracies and what not. I loved it, but I guess too many people were confused and didn't watch, so they only gave it 1 season. It's worth...

    Homeland

    They just released the first trailer for season 3 of Homeland. This show took a few episodes to get me interested in it, but ever since then, I've been hooked. Such a great drama. It's funny too, and you can't help but yell at stupid Clara Danes for thinking with her pussy instead of her...

    I leave tomorrow morning for Atlanta. I was also given 2 other suggestions. 1.) BBQ place called Fat Matt's 2.) Steak place called Kevin Rathbun Steak. This one is supposedly the 5th best steak house in the country. Neat.

    Need computer speakers for my deck. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went on the cheap and found this on ebay. It was used, but still had all of the accessory parts. $145 instead of $250. Not bad.

    We should start our own hardware blog.

    Gold is actually not a great conductor. Silver is the best metal conductor on earth. Copper is a very close second (1 extra electron on its valence shell). The only issue with silver over gold for the sake of plating is that it breaks down much easier. Especially when electricity is flowing...

    The Documentary Thread

    There's a new documentary out there called "The Act of Killing". Director Ti West (the Innkeepers) was talking about it on Opie & Anthony yesterday. It's supposed to be very emotionally powerful. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 97%. It's a story about murder in Indonesia, where over 1 million...

    EQ Never

    It's true that EQ's basic raid structure wasn't difficult. Every fight was a glorified "tank and spank" with a few extras thrown in for good measure. AE's that damaged the entire raid was one of them. Mobs self healing was another Mobs without AE that just did crazy amounts of damage output...
